Kevin highlighted that one key issue facing Lombok is a shortage of international-standard accommodation. “As Lombok’s tourism industry continues to grow, the island needs to satisfy demand for high-quality hotels, resorts and residences. But this also presents a unique opportunity for forward- thinking real estate companies to create high-standard and sustainable projects that raise the quality of tourism development on the island. At Invest Islands, we are aiming to meet this demand.”
Lombok’s hospitality sector will experience an important milestone in March 2023, when Gran Meliá Lombok unveils its show villas. Conceived and created by Invest Islands, this spectacular five-star resort is currently taking shape at Torok Bay, overlooking the Indian Ocean on the stunning south coast.
This eco-sensitive, low-rise luxury retreat will feature 110 pool villas, including beachfront duplexes and one-to three-bedroom hillside sanctuaries, crafted in a variety of dramatic architectural styles and featuring high-spec interiors, pool decks and panoramic views. These will be supported by world-class facilities, including restaurants, wellness, water sports and more.
Gran Meliá Lombok presents a range of compelling investment options, including a Certificate of Ownership (SHM) for savvy Indonesian investors, a 30-year Building Use Rights Certificate (HGB) with optional 20-year and 30-year extensions for overseas buyers (or 80 years in total), a 25-year of hak pakai (“right to use”) program for residential purposes, and other options that generate revenue through short- and medium-term rentals and timeshares.

“Compared to many other desirable parts of Southeast Asia, property prices in Lombok are still relatively affordable, which can make it an excellent option for anyone looking to get in on the ground floor of a rapidly developing market, while also benefiting from the unrivalled international standards of a renowned five-star hospitality brand. Our aim is to provide all buyers, including millennial and Gen Z investors, with an option that suits their specific lifestyle and financial requirements,” Jack concluded.
Sales have already opened for Gran Meliá Lombok, which is on track to open its doors in 2025. The project has been named as the “Best Upcoming Hotel Development” in Indonesia and “Best Hospitality Development” in Asia at the PropertyGuru Property Awards.
