Lombok the New Attraction

Development in South Lombok

Lombok the New Attraction

Lombok is a gem in the Indonesian archipelago situated just 32km East of Bali. It has a rich and colourful background of Sasak, Balinese and Bugis cultures and offers the tourist a mix of verdant tropical backdrops, kilometre upon kilometre of rice paddies, high volcanic mountains, fine white sandy beaches lapped by crystal clear water and some of the world’s finest surf breaks and diving spots. The lure of Lombok is in its description “like Bali 30 years ago.”  Little islands known as Gilis are dotted around the coast. Most have no motorised transport, providing a tranquil setting for quiet holidays “far from the madding crowd”.

However the best of Lombok is found on the south coast, miles of unspoiled beaches with secluded coves and dramatic rocky headlands. Mandalika Resorts Area in Kuta uses these spectacularly beautiful spots as the backdrop to an enchanting resort complex of global appeal. An adjacent conservation area of 3000 hectares is home to many of the indigenous species of Nusa Tenggara. A system of trails and guideposts will open the area for hiking, bicycling, and other low-impact activities.

The Mandalika Resort itself is a 1250 hectares development, including approximately 8 kilometres of white sand beaches. The area will be developed in an eco-friendly manner under the watchful eyes of the team from Bali Tourist Development Corporation (BTDC) which produced the prestige Bali resort of Nusa Dua with its spectacular landscaped setting and world class 5 Star resorts.

Mandalika View by Private Sanctuary is being developed on a prime piece of land 3 minutes from Kuta, the main hub in South Lombok. It has unobstructed views over the planned golf course of Mandalika Resort and Kuta Bay. Infrastructure is already in place. All buildings inside the zone will be sustainable using natural materials where possible to reduce the environmental impact to a minimum.

The Villas

Mandalika View is located on a gently sloping hill on prime land, offering spectacular ocean vistas. The property overlooks, on one side, the bay of Kuta with the Mandalika Resort Area and its proposed golf course right in front of it, ensuring tranquillity for a holiday home. On the other side of the hill, the plots are facing Gerupuk Bay’s unspoiled scenery.

The development offered by Private Sanctuary includes seventeen parcels varying  in size from 1100 to 2300 sq.m , ideal for building villas with 2-5 bedrooms. They offer direct access to the main road and have connections to water and electricity supplies. On the other side of the hill one finds Tanjung Aan's white sand beaches and unspoiled scenery.  Villa Developments will be fully managed by Private Sanctuary for a good return and peace of mind that your holiday property is kept in great shape.

Currently, there is a 5-star Novotel Resort built almost right on the beach and ClubMed is breaking ground in 2014, including commencing the golf course development.

Mandalika is a short drive from both the Lombok International Airport (LOP) near Praya in the south (opened in October 2011) and the automobile ferry terminal at Lembar in the south-west. The area is well served by telecommunications networks and has direct access to the main water supply and electricity. Medical, banking, and other facilities are located in the capital, Mataram.

Private Sanctuary plan to welcome guests at Mandalika View Villas from October 2015 and look forward to meeting you on Lombok.
