AB - <jats:title> A <jats:sc>bstract</jats:sc> </jats:title> <jats:p> We study worldsheet instantons in holographic type IIA backgrounds directly in string theory. The first background is a dimensional reduction of AdS <jats:sub>7</jats:sub> × <jats:italic>S</jats:italic> <jats:sup>4</jats:sup> and is dual to the maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on <jats:italic>S</jats:italic> <jats:sup>5</jats:sup> . The second background is AdS <jats:sub>4</jats:sub> × <jats:bold>C</jats:bold> <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> <jats:sup>3</jats:sup> dual to ABJM in the type IIA limit. We compute the one-loop partition function of the fundamental string in these backgrounds and show that the result is in exact agreement with field theory predictions. We argue that for higher rank instantons, the string partition function takes a product form of the single instanton partition function times the contribution of two orbifolds on the worldsheet. We determine the orbifold factor to be <jats:italic>n</jats:italic> <jats:sup> <jats:italic>−</jats:italic> 3/2 </jats:sup> where <jats:italic>n</jats:italic> is the instanton rank. With this result, we reproduce the series of non-perturbative corrections in <jats:italic>α</jats:italic>
