A New Chapter on Bo’a Beach

At the southern edge of Indonesia, NIHI Rote unfolds along the white sands of Bo’a Beach, home to the legendary Bo’a Barrel wave. In its first year, the resort is still taking shape—a destination in the process of becoming, where the experience feels more intimate, personal and alive than a conventional luxury escape.

A Different Kind of Luxury

From May 2026, NIHI Rote and its Hospitality Academy embark on a shared journey, with a new generation learning the craft of world-class hospitality. Service, cuisine and the daily details of the guest experience are evolving in real time, creating an unusual sense of connection between the people who arrive here and those shaping the resort’s future.

Guests are not simply observers of this first chapter; they become part of it. What is experienced today becomes part of the foundation for what NIHI Rote will grow into tomorrow, giving the resort a rare sense of possibility and authenticity.

Villas in the Wild

The resort’s 21 Villas and Duplex Estates are designed to immerse guests in Rote’s untamed beauty while providing complete privacy. Each features a private plunge pool and tranquil surroundings, with spaces that open naturally towards the island landscape. The atmosphere is deliberately unhurried, allowing the raw beauty of Rote to take centre stage.

The Taste of Rote

Cuisine draws directly from the island and the surrounding Indian Ocean, with local farms and seasonal harvests providing the foundation. Time-honoured Rotenese flavours are given a fresh, contemporary expression, creating menus that feel deeply connected to their surroundings and offer a genuine taste of Rote.

Wellness at Island Pace

Wellness here is less about a schedule and more about making space. Surrounded by nature, guests are invited to slow down, breathe deeply and find their own rhythm. The island’s raw beauty becomes part of the experience, offering the rare luxury of uninterrupted time and the freedom to simply be.

The Beginning of Something New

NIHI Rote is not presented as a finished idea, but as an unfolding story. Its early years offer the opportunity to experience a destination as it finds its identity—shaped by the island, its people and a new generation of hospitality professionals. The result is a stay that feels distinctly human, deeply connected to place and full of possibility.

A Hillside Sanctuary in Uttarakhand

Perched on a quiet ridge overlooking the valley, The Sen by nakulsen is a retreat where time seems to move at a gentler pace.

Framed by woodland and open skies, the property offers a chance to step away from everyday distractions and reconnect with the rhythms of nature.

Suites Between Earth and Sky

Each suite has its own architectural character and outlook, from a machaan-style house elevated above the landscape to glass-walled hideaways nestled into the contours of the hillside. Generous spaces, abundant natural light and a restrained minimalist aesthetic are softened by warm materials and thoughtful details. Expanses of glass draw the forest into the interiors, bringing the changing moods of the landscape into daily life—from mist-filled mornings to evenings illuminated by the last golden light of the sun.

A Taste of the Mountains

The culinary offering celebrates the region through homegrown produce, ingredients sourced from neighbouring farms and fresh dairy delivered daily. The menu moves between traditional Pahadi specialities and more refined Western dishes, balancing local flavours with a broader culinary perspective.

Discovering the Landscape

Experiences at The Sen range from safari drives through pine forests and guided village visits to quiet morning walks that reveal the area's wildlife, scenery and cultural traditions. Whether seeking outdoor adventure or a closer understanding of local life, guests can explore Uttarakhand at their own pace, with opportunities to discover both its dramatic landscapes and quieter pleasures.

Time by the Infinity Pool

A 30-foot infinity pool offers another way to enjoy the setting, surrounded by trees that filter the sunlight across the water.

At The Sen, the appeal lies in this balance of considered design, regional character and the freedom to do very little at all.

A House Made for Lingering

Mornings unfold at an unhurried pace, with leisurely breakfasts followed by a stroll through the lounges, where blown-glass windows open onto a broad terrace overlooking meadows and woodland. Settle beside the fireplace in the green room or spend time in the library, surrounded by art books, carefully chosen objects and fresh flowers. Every corner encourages guests to slow down and make themselves at home.

Gardens, Forests and Quiet Discoveries

Living with the Rhythm of the Tides

The Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel is a landscape shaped by extraordinary natural forces.

Respect for nature lies at the heart of the restaurant’s philosophy. Roellinger and his team champion the work of local fishermen, growers and artisan producers, celebrating the character of Brittany while reflecting the wider journeys and influences that have shaped its culinary traditions.

Bains Celtiques: A Dialogue with Nature

Housed in the estate’s main farmhouse, the Bains Celtiques, or Celtic Baths, bring together elemental materials and panoramic views in a striking wellness setting.

Whether sheltered or exposed to the elements, the baths bring together water, warmth and natural light, with carefully positioned openings framing views of the coast. Guests can swim against the current, rest against the stone ledges or simply watch the tides move across the bay. In every season, the experience offers a rare opportunity to reconnect with the rhythms of the natural world.

The Spirit of the Breton Coast

At Château Richeux, hospitality, gastronomy and wellness are inseparable from the surrounding landscape. From Roellinger’s expressive cuisine to the elemental calm of the Celtic Baths, each experience reflects a deep appreciation for Brittany’s natural riches and the ever-changing spectacle of the bay.
