In the recent years holiday investments in Lombok has been continuously increasing. Those who want to keep the paradise to themselves have been forced to accept the change as enormous potential brought wave of investments to reveals hidden beauties.

As of potentials, Lombok has everything that made Bali one of the World’s most sought after holiday destinations attracting both massive investments and crowd of tourists. In fact, many believe that Lombok has them all in better way.

Winding white-sandy beaches which are rather rare in Bali, pristine turquoise water with untouched coral reef underneath, beautiful offshore coral islands off in almost every side of the mainland, soaring mountain with verdant tropical forests, rolling hillside with small traditional villages scattering around, there are many other reasons why investors started to turn around from over-crowded Bali to the natural beauty of Lombok.
Among the most sought after area is the south coast, a breathtaking beauty which has been exclusive property of small local villages for centuries.

Kuta, the main resort area in the south coast, is definitely different from Bali’s Kuta. Here Kuta is a small resort town with limited range of holiday facilities including accommodations. Whilst it has an international-chain hotel, in general available facilities here are dedicated to cater backpackers and addicted surfers. Located a bit away from the current airport, most visitors to Lombok do not even have Kuta in their agenda. But those who have made their way to visit were amazed by the undeveloped peaceful bays, stunning beaches, and breathtaking vistas.

But it may not last so much longer. The new Lombok International Airport located about 20 minutes away from Kuta set to be open next year will bring flood of visitor straight to its doorsteps. Behind the quietness of the bay, massive investments have been proposed to the government and international real estate agencies are busy taking care their clients.

Currently the only luxury holiday accommodation facility in the area, Novotel Lombok will soon have neighbors as real estate analysts says that despite of significantly increased price – 100% to 200% in the last two years – big developers and investors are buying large plots of land to build resort properties.

In addition to investors, many riches are also making their way to secure their own piece of paradise to build private holiday homes for their family. Soon Lombok villas in this area will join their Bali counterparts in private holiday accommodation market.
