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.

Simple quiet mornings at NIHI. Everyday life unfolds along the beach, with horses wandering the shoreline against this incredible landscape. A genuine glimpse of Sumba in a truly magical setting.
The magic of Nihiwatu Beach lies in the local life that unfolds before your eyes. A meeting place for hundreds of villagers, the beach is a source of food, a place to fish in the morning and hunt for squid at sunset, to wash ponies in the ocean, walk buffalo along the shore and race horses with friends.
Raw and unfiltered. It is simply life in Sumba, natural and shaped by traditions that have lived on here for generations.

Set across 100 acres of Nihioka, this is wellness shaped by nature. Design your own experience with open-air treatments that unfold over hours, carried by ocean breezes and skilled hands.
Equine massage, reiki, hidden coves, and even a private villa stay are all part of the magic awaiting you at NIHI Spa Safari.
Sunset scenes at NIHI Sumba. Local boys bathing their horses in the ocean, surfers catching the last waves of the day, palm trees silhouetted against the sky and the water glistening in the golden light. The soul of the island, at its most beautiful.

If heaven was a place on earth, it might look a little like NIHI.
There is something endlessly beautiful about watching horses roam free, running the shoreline and swimming in the ocean, life as it was intended. These majestic creatures are woven deeply into the culture of Sumba, companions to its people and part of the very soul of the island.
Enjoy the quiet life at NIHI Sumba.
Peaceful mornings, the sounds of nature, space to slow down and disconnect.
This is the magic of NIHI, the soul of the island felt in every breeze, every wave and every still moment. A place where the wild beauty of Sumba seems to soften time itself.
