BALINEWS.ID – In an industry dominated by global giants, Nakula stands out as a proudly Indonesian hospitality management company rooted in local talent, shared prosperity, and sustainable practices. Celebrating its 12th anniversary, the Bali-headquartered firm employs over 80 Indonesian professionals and manages a diverse portfolio of 70+ luxury villas, villa complexes, and boutique hotels across the island.
“We take pride in being a company built by Indonesians, as we believe sustainable growth begins at home,” affirms Christian Sunjoto, CEO of Nakula.
Nakula distinguishes itself with a performance-driven property management approach that eschews traditional top-line models in favor of profit-sharing. This unique structure ties the company’s success directly to that of property owners.
“Our model ensures transparency and performance,” explains Christian.
“We grow when our partners thrive. That’s why we collaborate closely with property owners on every operational decision, from pricing strategies to guest experiences,” he added.
Unlike competitors managing properties remotely, Nakula’s entire team operates locally in Bali, providing unparalleled agility, insight, and adaptability.
“Being on the ground gives us a competitive edge. We understand trends, adapt quickly, and can launch a new villa in just two weeks, a feat that others might take months to achieve,” notes Christian
. Nakula’s in-house operations encompass marketing, guest services, and a cutting-edge property management system, offering owners real-time data and strategic insights.
Central to Nakula’s philosophy is its commitment to nurturing local talent. Through internal training and community collaboration, the company not only delivers exceptional service but also bolsters the Balinese economy.
“Our goal is to lead the market and create meaningful employment opportunities for locals,” says Christian.
Nakula’s sustainability initiatives are grounded in Bali’s Tri Hita Karana philosophy, promoting harmony between people, planet, and spirit. The company has implemented eco-friendly practices such as eliminating single-use plastics, integrating solar power, and adopting wastewater recycling systems.
At Amarta Beach Retreat in Tabanan, Nakula showcases sustainable architecture and supports local arts and education initiatives, preserving Balinese heritage and nurturing future hospitality leaders.
Twelve years since its inception, Nakula remains steadfast in its mission. “Profitability for us means supporting communities and advancing education,” reflects Christian. With a focus on people and long-term vision, Nakula continues to redefine local, responsible, and impactful hospitality in Bali.
