When it comes to families, Jacada Travel’s top pick for child-friendly resorts is Nihi Sumba in Indonesia. Coined as ‘the wellness retreat of a lifetime,’ at the edge of wilderness yet as safe as can be, this is a sanctuary for all to enjoy, especially for families with children of all ages.

With plenty of space for kids aged from toddlers to teens to safely romp and roam, at Nihi Sumba, it is a priority to create memories beyond your stay, develop a curiosity for discovery and to watch that invaluable ear-to-ear smile as your child explores this wonderful island.

The resort’s activities selection is vast and diverse ranging from story-telling and cooking classes to kite-building and rock painting, just to name a few. Some all-time favourites features include pony rides, adventurous jungle walks, family movie nights on the beach and assistance at Nihi Sumba’s very own turtle hatchery where you can help release new-born turtles back into their natural habitat.
