NIHI Sumba, Sumba, Indonesia: Guest experience by Mirsa Ratina

The brief

Condé Nast's #1 ranked resort in the world. Make every stay feel personal, and grow everything guests spend beyond the room.

What I did

Led guest experience, including the butler team, across private dining, Kaboku restaurant, the boutique, spa, horse riding, water and land activities. Redesigned the guest itinerary from a plain text list into a portrait, mobile-friendly, magazine-style layout guests actually enjoy reading. Hosted guests at breakfast and sunset to suggest experiences beyond their plans. Handled the most demanding guests face to face. Hosted media, photographers and influencers on property.

My role

Experiences Revenue Manager, working side by side with the CEO and COO, and the link between the Bali and Sumba teams.

Result

Spend per guest up around 20%, with stronger reviews.

Luxury hospitality, from the brand to the guest.

I'm a hospitality marketing manager based in Barcelona, with nine years across luxury resorts, restaurants and private villas in Bali, including NIHI Sumba, Condé Nast Traveler's #1 resort. I work across the whole journey, from brand and content to paid ads, OTA set-up and guest experience, and I run my own copper atelier, Tembaga Kayu.

People bring me their problems because I go to the root, not the symptom.

I learn fast and I'm curious about everything, especially AI, which runs half my workflow. When I'm not working, I'm with horses or somewhere quiet in nature.

How I lead When I lead a team, I learn what every person does, so if something breaks at midnight, I can step in. Not as well as they would, but well enough that the guest never knows.
