01
Tourism at record highs
MotoGP at Mandalika every year through at least 2031. Direct Australia–Lombok flights already operating. Indonesia targets 23.5 million tourists by 2029.
WHY LOMBOK?
Three ways to read Lombok.
The economics, the legal framework, and life on the island. Pick where to start.
BLOCK 01 · THE OPPORTUNITY
Bali has gotten expensive. Lombok hasn’t.
Bali has gotten expensive. Lombok offers the same allure today at a fraction of the price, with double the yield. Indonesia’s government has earmarked Lombok as a priority destination — the fundamentals have moved in our favor.
02
Infrastructure already built
International airport for 7 million passengers, 1,035-hectare Mandalika economic zone with €350 million already invested. A decade of public investment on one island.
03
The global brands are landing
Marriott Luxury Collection already operating. Apurva Kempinski (200 suites) opens in 2027. Hyatt the same year. When these brands operate, prices follow.
How tourism has grown in Indonesia
Tourism has already passed its pre-pandemic peak and is on track to double it. The 2026 and 2029 bars are the Indonesian government’s official targets.

THE MACRO FRAME
A stable country behind the destination
Indonesia is the world's 17th largest economy and the largest in Southeast Asia. Five percent annual growth for a decade, inflation within target, BBB investment grade. For a European buyer, the currency also plays in their favour.

For a European buyer the combination is uncommon: an economy growing at twice the pace of Spain, a currency that makes local costs cheaper every year, and a government that has placed tourism among its strategic priorities through 2029. Data as of 15-May-2026.

“Lombok today is not a forecast. It is a market with public figures, signed contracts and global brands landing. The investor who enters before 2027 does so with data in hand, not a promise.”
