Lombok is Rising
A rare blend of natural beauty and government-backed tourism infrastructure, built for long-term demand.

The Bali Comparison
Lombok combines untouched coastline, world-class surf and a fast-growing tourism ecosystem supported by national-level destination development.
The difference: Lombok's growth is being accelerated by planned destination development and infrastructure upgrades, rather than purely organic demand.

Government-backed destination development means lower friction for travelers; stronger long-term demand for quality stays.
Why this matters to investors:
Better Access
Improved connectivity and infrastructure typically reduce travel friction and support higher occupancy.
Destination Visibility
Recurring international events and national promotion increase awareness and demand.
Long-term Positioning
Priority destinations tend to receive sustained attention on planning, services and visitor experience.
What Is Actually Driving South Lombok
Our case for South Lombok is not built on one single development. It is several catalysts landing at the same time. Here is each of them with its real status: what is confirmed, what is still going through approvals, and what is only potential. Sources are linked so you can check every line yourself.

Mandalika Special Economic Zone
Mandalika is a government-backed Special Economic Zone. By the end of 2025, cumulative investment in the zone had reached IDR 6.018 trillion (about USD 370 million) across 34 investors, with 26,002 people employed in the area.
Tourism indicators are moving the same way. Between January and April 2026, Mandalika recorded 285,003 visitors. Average length of stay rose to 2.33 days from 1.96, and average hotel occupancy to 44.57% from 41.55% in the same period a year earlier.
MotoGP, Committed Through 2031
The Indonesian Grand Prix returns to the Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit on 9–11 October 2026, and Indonesia's MotoGP agreement currently runs through 2031.
The 2025 edition drew around 142,000 spectators and an estimated IDR 4.8 trillion in economic activity across accommodation, transport and local business.
Rafa Nadal Tennis Center
The Rafa Nadal Academy will open its first Tennis Center in Southeast Asia here in South Lombok, inside the Samara Lombok development on the south coast, about 25 minutes from Lombok International Airport. Four tennis courts and four padel courts, run on the Academy's own coaching methodology.
Opening is planned for the first quarter of 2028, alongside the first Destination by Hyatt property in Southeast Asia.
Flights Operating Today
Singapore–Lombok has gone from 4 to 10 flights a week. Lion Air launched a daily direct Lombok–Kuala Lumpur service on 1 July 2026, with onward connections to more than 40 destinations through the Kuala Lumpur hub.
Domestic connections from Jakarta and Bali run daily.
Routes Still in Approval
The NTB provincial government is working on direct routes to Perth and Darwin in Australia, and to Bangkok. Permits are still in process and none of these are flying yet. We would rather tell you now than have you find out at the booking page.
For Europe: in October 2025 Indonesia and Turkey signed an expanded air services agreement that added Lombok to the destinations Turkish carriers may serve, and more than doubled capacity from 14 to 32 weekly flights. There is still no Istanbul–Lombok schedule. What exists today is the regulatory framework that would allow one.
Land Appreciation of 15–20%
In the prime areas of South Lombok we are seeing strong increases in land values. The 15–20% a year we quote is an indicative market estimate for selected locations. It is the value of the land, not of your total investment, and we do not present it as a guaranteed annual return.
The point that matters more: Lombok is still early in its development cycle compared with Bali, while the infrastructure, the international brands and the tourism demand are arriving now.
Formula 1: Not Confirmed
Mandalika officials have held discussions with Formula 1 in the past and the possibility has been raised publicly. There is no signed agreement for a Formula 1 race.
The circuit currently holds FIA Grade 3 homologation; Formula 1 requires Grade 1. We treat F1 as potential future upside, not as a driver you should count on today.
You are not investing after everything has already happened.
That is what makes Lombok interesting to us. A large part of the infrastructure, the international tourism ecosystem and the institutional investment is being built right now, and that is where the upside comes from.
What to Visit

Authentic Island Life, Easy Modern Comfort
Lombok feels real, yet it's easy for international travelers. Traditional Sasak culture and daily island life are still visible and lived. Nothing feels staged. At the same time, guests find everything for an effortless stay: quality dining, modern services and a smooth tourism ecosystem.
