INDONESIA MAMOLE TREE HOUSE, NIHI, SUMBA ISLAND

This whimsical configuration of the thatched-roof villas will appeal to both adventurists, families and honeymooners. Perched on wooden stilts between ancient trees, Mamole offers the best view of the beach in Nihi and brings the outside in. A bamboo bridge connects the two tree houses and a shared infinity pool, while the main villa includes a private pool and a large living area. Traditional Sumbanese carvings, antiques, local wood and Ikat prints complement the natural environment.
