You're looking at the right place at the right time to invest

Yes. Foreigners cannot hold freehold (Hak Milik) directly, but two legal routes are well established: leasehold (Hak Sewa) and ownership through an Indonesian foreign-investment company (PT PMA) holding HGB title. Both are legal, common, and used by major international hotel brands.

Leasehold (Hak Sewa) gives you the right to use the land for a fixed period, usually 25 to 30 years, with an extension option. The building is yours, and you can rent it out or resell it with the remaining lease. At the end of the term the land reverts unless extended, which is why a clear extension clause in the contract matters.

Projected net rental yields in South Lombok are commonly cited in the region of 8 to 10% after costs, with premium beachfront daily rates between EUR 150 and 400. These are projections based on current data, not guarantees, and actual returns depend on occupancy, management and costs.

Entry-level villas and land start well below comparable Bali pricing, from around EUR 117,000 depending on area and beachfront proximity. Baraca's Tampah Beach Villas start from EUR 220,000 for a one-bedroom villa.

South Lombok draws the most investor interest, anchored by the Mandalika SEZ. Popular areas include Kuta Lombok, Selong Belanak, Tanjung Aan and Mawi, plus the Gili Islands offshore.

The full process can be handled remotely with the right partner. For off-plan purchases, look for staged payments tied to construction progress and an escrow arrangement so funds are released as milestones are met. Baraca structures Tampah with escrow and the majority of payment due after handover.

The Mandalika SEZ is a government-backed development on Lombok's south coast, including the MotoGP-grade circuit, international hotels and major infrastructure. It is a primary driver of rising land values in the region.

Lombok is politically stable and a growing tourism destination. As with any property purchase, the real protection comes from due diligence: verified certificates, correct zoning and permits, and a reputable notary. This is where working with a licensed advisor matters.

Yes. A leasehold can be resold with its remaining term, and an extension option helps support value. Property held through a PT PMA can also be sold. Liquidity is lower than in mature markets, so plan your exit horizon.
