Why Lombok
A growing tourism base, improving infrastructure, and pricing that has not yet caught up with more established markets in the region.
The Data
Official arrivals and hotel-demand data from BPS NTB (Indonesia's Central Statistics Agency), showing the trajectory underpinning Horizen's yield projections.
Kuta, Lombok has seen sustained growth in international arrivals, supported by direct access via Lombok International Airport.
Road and airport infrastructure around southern Lombok has expanded to support the region's tourism development.
Property pricing in Kuta, Lombok remains comparatively early-stage against established markets elsewhere in Indonesia.
Mandalika
The Mandalika International Street Circuit anchors a 1,035-hectare Special Economic Zone (KEK Mandalika) along South Lombok's coastline — a government-backed tourism development with tax holidays, VAT exemptions, and land rights of up to 80 years for qualifying investors.

Infrastructure
Lombok benefits from both national Strategic Project (PSN) funding and provincial infrastructure budgets, alongside the incentives attached to the Mandalika Special Economic Zone.
2.37M passengers passed through Lombok International Airport in 2024. Domestic and international lounges were expanded the same year, with an airport-anchored "Aerocity" master plan in planning.
The Kuta–Keruak road was elevated to a provincial development priority in 2024, alongside widening projects connecting the airport to the south coast.
Water supply (SPAM) and electricity grid upgrades are underway to support the South Lombok tourism corridor as new development comes online.
Regional context
Lombok and Bali share a similar tourism proposition, but sit at very different points in their development cycle — a gap reflected directly in land pricing and regulatory posture.
| Factor | Bali | Lombok |
|---|---|---|
| Prime land price / m² | $400–$1,000+ | $60–$350 |
| Market maturity | Saturated | Early growth |
| Development regulation | Construction moratorium active in 6 districts | Actively encouraged via KEK incentives |
| Flight time from Bali | — | 25 min flight / 2h fast boat |
Land pricing and market data: Nour Estates, Indoned, ILA Global Consulting. Bali's construction moratorium was reinstated across six districts following the September 2025 floods.
Yield basis
Horizen's projected gross yield of 10–14% is modelled at 65% occupancy, reflecting the current tourism trajectory in Kuta, Lombok and the villa mix across the development. Wider Lombok villa yields are reported in a broader range depending on management model — turnkey, passively managed developments typically sit toward the lower end of that range, which is the basis for Horizen's own projections.
Considerations
Early-stage markets carry real considerations alongside the upside. Here is how each applies to Horizen.
Addressed through the PT PMA structure, giving investors direct, compliant title rather than informal nominee arrangements.
Roads, water, and grid capacity are improving but not yet at Bali's level. Government commitment through national PSN funding is well documented.
Resale infrastructure is still developing. Horizen is positioned for investors planning a 5–7 year hold minimum.
