Lombok’s natural beauty and vast potential is marking it firmly on the investment map.
East of Bali is the lesser known island of Lombok. Known for its pretty Gili Islands that are dotted off the northwestern side of the island, Lombok more recently has become a destination in its own right. Compared to its neighbouring sister, it is less spoilt and without the traffic headaches Bali has become known for. Lombok remains relatively underdeveloped. Its beaches are the main draw feeling that you really are on a tropical paradise. It isn’t hard to find a spot on the island that you can enjoy the swathes of white sandy beaches on your own.
And this is exactly why Lombok’s popularity stakes are rising. The scenery on the south of the island are exactly what you would expect on a picture perfect postcard. But despite this remote feeling the area is still very accessible being just half an hour from Lombok International Airport. Plus there is currently vast investment into the infrastructure network making it even easier to get around.
Scenery aside Lombok is proving to be a lucrative place to invest. Prices for a villa are a fraction of what you would pay in Bali. One such example is Damai Indah. A development of 11 luxury villas that is perched on top of the hills to offer some breathtaking scenery. Here the most expensive villa which has 270 degree panoramic views is being marketed for USD 680,000. However, on Bali to get something of a very high specification would set you back over USD 2 million.
Additionally the potential for capital appreciation is vast. You only have to look at the rate of development over the last year and the rise in land prices responding to demand to see this. This has been spurred on by President Jokowi who has set out to promote tourism. Something that can easily be achieved on Lombok and has led to many developers casting their eyes to the island. Head to Kuta and you will see the change from over the last five years that includes more entertainment options.
Damai Indah Luxury Villas
All of these aspects make Lombok an enticing to place to consider. Howeve
r that is not to say that any property will do. For sound investment it pays to do your homework to invest in the right property. Picking the right location is always of paramount concern. Something that Damai Indah prides itself on being just a few minutes walk to the attractions of beautiful coastal town of Kuta, which is considerably less spoilt that Bali’s of the same namesake.
These luxury villas also benefit from the setting of the island’s lush rolling jungle. Something that cannot be found on the Gili Islands. Throw in the experts behind the development who have a conceived a great design through their long list of successful developments across the globe from the South of France to Kyrgyzstan will ensure Damai Indah will undoubtedly raise the bar for villas on the island. These elements plus the natural beauty of the island make it easy to see why all the attention has been drawn to Lombok.
