A BREATHTAKING NEW TWO-BEDROOM VILLA,
BLENDING CULTURAL SPIRIT AND BAREFOOT LUXURY,
OPENING JANUARY 15, 2026.

Embracing the Spirit of Dusk

With private road access and a dramatic drop-off entry featuring dedicated car and buggy parking, Villa Laddu Malung commands one of the most spectacular panoramic settings at NIHI^® Sumba. From its elevated perch, guests are immersed in sweeping 270º views of the iconic pinnacles, Occy’s Left, the golden stretch of Nihiwatu Beach, the Indian Ocean, and the rolling hills beyond. The private road also ensures a fast and easy access to Ombak Restaurant and reception area, while preserving complete seclusion and privacy.

The villa’s name carries deep Sumbanese meaning: “Laddu” means sun, and “Malung” means afternoon, together evoking the warm glow of dusk, when families gather to share stories, give thanks, and celebrate life. Villa Laddu Malung is designed to embody this spirit, offering front-row seats to NIHI’s legendary sunsets, when the sky ignites in shades of gold, orange, and violet over the ocean.

Created with NIHI’s signature barefoot luxury ethos, this two-bedroom villa maximizes wide-angle views from every space. At its heart, a spacious living and dining area with a fully equipped open kitchen anchors the design, while a kids’ bedroom with ensuite bathroom, accessible from both the room and the deck, can also serve as a powder room for events. Adjacent to the kids’ room, there’s the master bedroom that connects to a lap pool and expansive deck, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living.

Perfect for families or friends, Villa Laddu Malung is a sanctuary of seclusion, connection, and unforgettable NIHI experiences, a place to gather for magical sunsets, celebrate togetherness, and embrace life on the Edge of Wildness.
