Indulge your inner child in a luxury setting at Mamole Tree House. Though this unique vacation rental is whimsical, it doesn’t lack for five-star amenities, making it perfect for everything from a family holiday to an adventurous honeymoon. Given the stunning ocean views, private beach and nearly 600 acres of land surrounding the tree house and Nihi Sumba Resort, it’s easy to see why it was ranked the number one hotel in the world by Travel + Leisure in 2016.

Your stay includes in-villa dining for three daily meals, non-alcoholic beverages and butler service. Resort staff will be happy to help you arrange a complimentary outing to a nearby island, a stand-up paddleboarding or snorkeling session, a mountain bike ride or a visit to a local village. You can also choose to enjoy a quiet swim in the tree house’s infinity pool, followed by a stint on the beachfront loungers and sunbeds or a meal at the al-fresco dining area.

Though a hideaway in the sky may be the stuff of childhood dreams, Mamole Tree House boasts sophisticated modern style. The villa is divided into two circular houses, connected by a bamboo bridge. Inside the ground-floor living areas, you’ll find one-of-a-kind pieces like traditional Sumbanese carvings, antiques made of local wood and handicrafts such as vibrant ikat prints. And unlike most playhouses, this tree house has air conditioning, a minibar and Wi-Fi.

Mamole Tree House has three bedrooms nestled into the foliage, each with a king bed, lounge area and en-suite bathroom. Listen to the leaves rustle as you fall asleep, and wake up to ocean views from the private balconies. In an especially exotic touch, some of the bathrooms are in separate pavilions, connected to the bedrooms by a bridge.

The villa may feel like it’s miles from the real world, but it’s just a short walk from the amenities at Nihi Sumba, from the boathouse and beach club to the restaurants and bars. Surf the waves just off the shore from the resort, follow a local guide on a horseback ride or book a treatment at the spa. But you’ll want to spend most of your time close to the ocean; East Nusa Tenggara is known for its gorgeous beaches and tempting blue waters, and the 1.5-mile stretch at Nihiwatu is no exception.
