Leasehold Villas for Sale in Lombok

Lombok sits just east of Bali across the Lombok Strait, and much of its villa market is available on a leasehold basis. A leasehold arrangement, known locally as Hak Sewa, gives the buyer full use rights over the villa for a fixed period, typically ranging from under 30 years up to several decades, rather than permanent ownership, and many leasehold agreements in Lombok include the option to extend once the initial term ends. This structure is what makes leasehold villas a popular entry point for foreign buyers, sidestepping the citizenship requirement tied to freehold (Hak Milik) title.

Kuta, Senggigi, Tanjung & Selong Belanak: Lombok's Villa Submarkets

Kuta, on Lombok's south coast, anchors the island's surf and villa scene, with its beach break and easy access to the Mandalika area drawing both surfers and long-term residents. Senggigi, on the west coast, is Lombok's longest-established resort strip, offering a more settled, built-out villa market with sunset views across to Bali's Gunung Agung. Tanjung, in the north, sits closest to the Gili Islands' boat crossings and offers a quieter, less developed alternative for buyers who want proximity to the Gilis without living on them. Selong Belanak, further along the south coast from Kuta, has emerged more recently as a villa destination, known for its wide, gently sloping bay that's become popular with beginner surfers and a growing café scene.

Lombok's Growing Infrastructure: Airport, Roads, and the Mandalika Circuit

Lombok International Airport, located in Central Lombok Regency near Praya, serves as the island's main gateway and connects directly to Mandalika, the Gili Islands, and Mount Rinjani National Park. Road access between the airport, Kuta, and Selong Belanak has continued to improve alongside the development of the nearby Mandalika Special Economic Zone, a tourism and sports complex built around the Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit. The circuit has hosted the Indonesian MotoGP round annually since 2022, along with other international racing events, drawing steady visitor traffic and international attention to South Lombok's villa market year after year.

Leasehold Villa Prices in Lombok

Leasehold villa prices in Lombok vary primarily by bedroom count and build style rather than lease length alone. A 1-bedroom off-plan villa typically runs from IDR 1.65 billion to IDR 2.50 billion, a 2-bedroom from IDR 3.10 billion to IDR 5.52 billion, and a 3-bedroom around IDR 3.85 billion. Within those ranges, style and finish drive much of the spread: a standard 2-bedroom off-plan villa is generally priced around IDR 3.10 billion, while a 2-bedroom Mediterranean-style or higher-end build can run closer to IDR 5.50 billion, and a premium 1-bedroom with a mezzanine layout is often priced lower, around IDR 1.65 billion, than a comparable modern 1-bedroom at IDR 2.24 billion to IDR 2.50 billion. Because lease terms across listings range from roughly 28 to 80 years, comparing total price alone can be misleading; a shorter lease on a higher-finish villa can cost more upfront than a longer lease on a standard build, so buyers comparing offers are better served looking at price relative to the number of years remaining on the lease.
