Indonesian resort Samara Lombok secures investment, to open in 2028
The venture is going to also be the first Destination by Hyatt property in Southeast Asia. In May 2025, Hyatt disclosed that Samara Lombok would join its profile of Indonesian real estates through a franchise contract with the developer. Under the Destination by Hyatt brand, hotels are offered through Hyatt’s global distribution network and loyalty program while keeping operational independence.
Currently, a limited variety of complete properties at Samara Lombok are readily available for sale on a 90-year leasehold tenure– significantly longer than the 25- to 30-year periods typical across Bali and much of Indonesia, according to the press release. Buyers can pick from 12 villa designs ranging from two- to five-bedders, with construction timelines of 15 to 18 months.
With brand-new roads, Samara Lombok is now a 25-minute drive from Lombok International Airport.
The project has actually secured a “substantial” investment from Westgrove– a multi-family workplace with offices in London, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur– which will progress Samara Lombok’s final phase of property development.
In the future, Samara Lombok’s villas will certainly be increased to 500. Locals and guests at the development will certainly have access to 12 restaurants, a club, an aquatic biology and water sports center, a tennis academy with tennis and padel courts, along with a football training centre.

Lombok, that neighbors Bali, has actually gradually obtained popularity in recent years. The island is anticipated to see further development, backed by assistance from the Indonesian federal government. Mandalika, a location in South Lombok, has actually been recognized as a brand-new tourism center, with around US$ 3 billion ($3.81 billion) in public financial investments being poured into a new Special Economic Zone that includes infrastructural enhancements, brand-new resorts and a racing circuit.
Samara Lombok– a 150ha combined resort property development featuring hotels, villas and facilities– is set to start along the southerly coastline of Lombok, Indonesia, in 2028. It is going to be just one of the region’s most extensive deluxe places, using three shop hotels and 150 villas when it launches in 1Q2028, according to a May 11 press release by the development.
Samara Lombok is led by Erik Barreto, Steve Ebsworth and Tom Wheeler. The trio are also co-founders of Rascal Republic, a Singapore-based friendliness and development team, whose endeavors include Dallas Restaurant & Bar, a bar-bistro concept at Marina Bay Sands; and yacht charter firm Rascal Voyages, which specializes in luxury charters throughout the Indonesian islands.
