Indonesian resort Samara Lombok secures investment, to open in 2028
Presently, a limited number of complete properties at Samara Lombok are available for sale on a 90-year leasehold tenure– dramatically longer than the 25- to 30-year periods typical throughout Bali and much of Indonesia, according to the press release. Buyers can choose from 12 villa designs ranging from two- to five-bedders, with building timelines of 15 to 18 months.
Later on, Samara Lombok’s villas will be increased to 500. Citizens and guests at the development will have connectivity to 12 restaurants, a club, a marine biology and water sports center, a tennis academy with tennis and padel courts, as well as a football training center.
Lombok, which neighbors Bali, has continuously obtained recognition recently. The island is expected to see additional expansion, backed by support from the Indonesian federal government. Mandalika, an area in South Lombok, has been determined as a brand-new tourist center, with around US$ 3 billion ($3.81 billion) in public investments being poured into a brand-new Special Economic Zone that consists of infrastructural improvements, brand-new resorts and a racing circuit.

Samara Lombok– a 150ha combined resort property development including hotels, villas and facilities– is set to start along the southerly coast of Lombok, Indonesia, in 2028. It will be just one of the region’s most comprehensive high-end destinations, offering three shop resorts and 150 vacation homes when it introduces in 1Q2028, according to a May 11 press release by the development.
The project has actually protected a “substantial” financial investment from Westgrove– a multi-family office with workplaces in London, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur– which will progress Samara Lombok’s final stage of property development.
Samara Lombok is led by Erik Barreto, Steve Ebsworth and Tom Wheeler. The trio are also co-founders of Rascal Republic, a Singapore-based friendliness and development group, whose ventures consist of Dallas Restaurant & Bar, a bar-bistro principle at Marina Bay Sands; and yacht charter business Rascal Voyages, that specializes in deluxe charters throughout the Indonesian archipelago.
The venture will also be the initial Destination by Hyatt property in Southeast Asia. In May 2025, Hyatt disclosed that Samara Lombok would certainly join its accounts of Indonesian real estates through a franchise arrangement with the developer. Under the Destination by Hyatt brand, resorts are offered through Hyatt’s global distribution network and loyalty programme while maintaining operational independence.
