Just an hour flight east and twice the size of Bali, Sumba is an eastern Indonesian island that is home to the latest luxury destination: Nihiwatu Resort. Ever since purchasing Sumba in 2013, James McBride and business partner Chris Burch, of Burch Creative Capital, have been developing sixty-five acres into a boutique hotel that is unlike anything else you can experience. Thirty-two villas will be opening this summer season, as McBride and Burch continue to distinguish Sumba island as a new standard for ultra-luxe island retreats. James sat down with Elite Traveler to explain his investment strategy for Sumba and why Nihiwatu should be your next summer vacation spot.
