Leasehold Villas across Sumbawa
Bali Home Immo’s leasehold villa listings across Sumbawa cover the island east of Lombok that is larger than Bali and Lombok combined. Each villa is offered on a Hak Sewa (leasehold) basis, a notarial lease that gives you the right to use the land and the villa for an agreed number of years. Hak Sewa carries no citizenship restriction, so international buyers can hold it in their own name. The legal framework is the same from one part of the island to the next. What changes is the setting: reef breaks along the west and south coasts, and quiet island getaways such as Moyo off the north coast. Bali Home Immo has listed property since 2009, its agents are AREBI-certified, and its team works in English, French, German and Indonesian, so buyers can be guided in their own language.
An Island Larger than Bali and Lombok Combined
Sumbawa is a volcanic island with a long coastline and far more room than its neighbours, and tourism there is still limited. Surfers know it for reef breaks: Lakey Peak and its neighbours near Hu’u in the south, and Scar Reef, Supersuck and Yo-Yo’s along the west coast near Jereweh, Maluk and Sekongkang. Off the north coast, Moyo Island is two-thirds game reserve, with waterfalls and reefs for snorkelling and diving.
Sumbawa is linked to Lombok by ferry and by air, and there are flights from Bali to Sumbawa Besar and Bima that take around an hour. Owners can enjoy the island at its own pace, with the larger Bali and Lombok markets within easy reach.
Buying Ahead of Completion on Sumbawa
Off-plan means buying a villa before it is finished, and it suits island markets well. Payments are staged against construction progress rather than paid in one sum, a villa of this size is often completed in around a year, and the buyer receives a brand-new property under a registered lease. The BHI guide on investing in off-plan property covers how the structure works. A licensed notary (PPAT) prepares and registers the lease deed, so the buyer’s rights are documented from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get from Bali to Sumbawa?
The fastest route is a flight from Ngurah Rai Airport. Flights to Sumbawa Besar take about an hour, and flights to Bima take about an hour and ten minutes, on a limited schedule. Travelling overland and by sea is possible but takes most of a day: roughly eight hours via Padangbai, including the ferry across to Lombok and the crossing to Sumbawa. Check current flight and ferry schedules before booking.
How do I get from Lombok to Sumbawa by ferry or plane?
Ferries cross from Labuhan Lombok to Labuhan Badas in Sumbawa in 1.5 to 2 hours, departing roughly every one to two hours between 6 am and 6 pm. Flights from Lombok International Airport to Sumbawa Besar take about 30 to 35 minutes, and to Bima about 45 minutes. Schedules and fares change, so confirm them with the operator.
Which airport should I fly into for Sumbawa, Sumbawa Besar or Bima?
Where is Lakey Peak, and where else can you surf on Sumbawa?
Lakey Peak is at Hu’u, on the south coast, due south of Dompu. It is an exposed reef break, with Lakey Pipe and Periscopes nearby. On the west coast, Scar Reef is near Jereweh, Supersuck near Maluk, and Yo-Yo’s on Sekongkang beach. Swell runs from April to October, and the dry season is when the waves are most consistent.
Is there a hospital or clinic on Sumbawa?
The main hospitals are in the larger towns: Sumbawa Besar, Bima and Dompu, with another in West Sumbawa. Villages and beach areas outside these towns are a drive away, so residents should plan their health cover around that distance. Buyers planning to live on the island full-time should arrange health insurance that covers medical transfers.
