A Centrally Located
Three-Bedroom Villa
Set in an elevated central position within the resort, Wulla Marapu takes its name from Sumbanese heritage: Wulla meaning moon, and Marapu referring to the island’s ancestral belief system that continues to shape traditional life.
Designed across two levels, the villa blends local architectural character with a thoughtful modern layout ideal for families. Upstairs, two ocean-facing bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms offer a serene retreat, featuring the iconic view across the full stretch of Nihiwatu Beach — a breathtaking panorama enjoyed from the comfort of your bed as you wake to the ocean each morning.
On the lower level, an open-air living and dining space flows seamlessly to a private swimming pool, where the same sweeping views stretch across Nihiwatu’s 2.5-kilometre shoreline. A third ground-floor bedroom provides a comfortable space for children or additional guests.
With expansive ocean views from both levels, Wulla Marapu Villa combines cultural richness, natural beauty, and relaxed family living.

Listen to the natural sound of hooves pounding the sand along Nihiwatu Beach as our Sumba horses runs 2.5 km stretch of shoreline. Palm tree shadows stretch across the beach, and the herd runs exactly as nature intended, free, wild and at one with nature. 🤍

Morning begins with palm tree shadows stretching across the sand. Day-old turtles make their first journey to the ocean while the surf rolls in. As the sun sets, locals wash their horses in the sea, and life moves to the rhythm it always has.
These are the moments that make NIHI more than a destination, they’re the memories you’ll carry long after you’ve left. 🤍

Mornings begin with horses running freely along the shoreline, mist drifting over the hills, and the gentle rhythm of the ocean in the distance.
A refreshing swim, breakfast by the sea, and nowhere else to be but here.
It’s the kind of place that reminds you to slow down, breathe a little deeper, and soak up the beauty around you.
Perched above the Indian Ocean, Raja Mandaka is the owner’s private villa and the crown jewel of NIHI. Designed for complete privacy, it overlooks Nihiwatu Beach, where horses gallop free on the white sand and sunsets melt into the horizon.
From sunrise swims to evenings spent listening to the waves below, every moment here feels worlds away.
@nihi’s padel game just went up a level as professional padel player @denise.hoefer.3005 takes to the court. Surrounded by lush tropical beauty, and with our herd of horses as her audience, Denise shows us how to have fun on the Edge of Wildness.

Wake to horses wandering the shores of Nihiwatu Beach, spend your afternoons by your own private pool in your villa retreat, rally beneath the golden glow at the Ride & Racquet Club, and watch the sun catch the magic of @nihi as it melt into the horizon.
@nihi takes you beyond the resort and connects you with the soul of the island. By exploring the traditional villages and experiencing a rich and unique culture that harks back to a forgotten time, you’ll find a forever place in your heart for Sumba.

An evening rally at @nihi’s brand new Ride & Racquet Club, where tennis meets equestrian life. Passing horses become your audience as you play surrounded by Sumba’s wild beauty while listening to the sound of the ocean nearby in between serves.
Some mornings, the horses leave more than footprints. They leave silhouettes that stretch across the sand, fleeting works of art shaped by the morning light. Another unforgettable day at the Edge of Wildness.

Your day at NIHI begins with a little bit of magic. A refreshing morning swim, the sound of waves rolling in, and the sight of NIHI’s horses galloping freely along the shoreline below.
On some mornings, a local farmer’s herd of water buffalo wanders across Nihiwatu Beach, while newly hatched sea turtles make their first journey to the ocean. These are the moments that make life on the Edge of Wildness so extraordinary, where nature quietly sets the rhythm of the day and no two mornings are ever quite the same.
