Indonesian resort Samara Lombok secures investment, to open in 2028
The project has actually secured a “substantial” investment from Westgrove– a multi-family workplace with workplaces in London, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur– which will advance Samara Lombok’s final stage of project.
Samara Lombok– a 150ha integrated resort property development offering hotels, villas and centers– is set to open along the southerly shore of Lombok, Indonesia, in 2028. It will be among the area’s most extensive high-end locations, using three shop resorts and 150 rental properties when it releases in 1Q2028, according to a May 11 press release by the property development.
Eventually, Samara Lombok’s villas will certainly be increased to 500. Homeowners and guests at the development will certainly have connectivity to 12 restaurants, a club, an aquatic biology and water sports centre, a tennis academy with tennis and padel courts, along with a football training centre.
Lombok, which neighbors Bali, has gradually gained recognition over the last few years. The island is anticipated to see additional growth, backed by assistance from the Indonesian government. Mandalika, a location in South Lombok, has been recognized as a brand-new tourist center, with around US$ 3 billion ($3.81 billion) in public investments being put into a new Special Economic Zone that consists of infrastructural enhancements, new hotels and a racing circuit.
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 endeavors consist of Dallas Restaurant & Bar, a bar-bistro idea at Marina Bay Sands; and yacht charter firm Rascal Voyages, that specialises in high-end charters throughout the Indonesian archipelago.
With brand-new roads, Samara Lombok is now a 25-minute drive from Lombok International Airport.
Presently, a limited number of complete villas at Samara Lombok are available for sale on a 90-year leasehold period– dramatically longer than the 25- to 30-year tenures typical across Bali and much of Indonesia, according to journalism release. Buyers can pick from 12 villa designs ranging from 2- to five-bedders, with building schedules of 15 to 18 months.
The venture is going to also be the very first Destination by Hyatt property in Southeast Asia. In May 2025, Hyatt announced that Samara Lombok would join its portfolio of Indonesian properties through a franchise agreement with the developer. Under the Destination by Hyatt brand, resorts are presented through Hyatt’s global distribution network and loyalty programme while keeping operational independence.
