Mawun land is listed at Rp 50 to 250 jt per are in this week’s snapshot (USD 3,075 to 15,375), and the priced plots on our site sit at Rp 30 to 100 jt per are. Using the method in our yield guide, a Mawun villa calculates to 5.6 to 11.2% net, the highest of any area in that guide, though mostly because villas here are cheap while the revenue figure is a Central Lombok average. This is a land market: all five Mawun properties on our site are plots, from 12 to 200 are. Most carry SHM title, which foreigners can’t hold. Mawun Beach is in Desa Tumpak, Pujut district, Central Lombok (Lombok Tengah). For the wider coast, see our South Lombok guide.
This page is a field guide for land buyers: which part of the valley to look at, what the real plots on the market cost, what the yield number does and doesn’t tell you, and what to check before you sign.

Read this week’s block with two caveats. The +26% annual change comes from one source, so treat it as a lead to check, not a trend. The occupancy line still says “Not enough data”, which is why every yield figure on this page leans on a regional average rather than Mawun bookings.
The useful number is the spread. A fivefold gap between the cheapest and most expensive land per are tells you that position (beach distance, view, road frontage) drives price here far more than the village name does.
Where to buy in Mawun: the micro-markets
Mawun Beach sits in a horseshoe bay on the road between Kuta Mandalika and Selong Belanak. Inland, the valley floor is farmland and rice fields, ringed by hills. Each part of that bowl sells to a different buyer.
The bay and its first line
Mawun Beach is a managed public tourism site, with parking, toilets, warungs and an entrance fee of Rp 10,000 per person, according to the national tourism ministry’s listing. Under Presidential Regulation 51/2016, the coastal setback (sempadan pantai) is at least 100 meters inland from the highest tide line, with the exact line set in the regency’s spatial plan. In practice that keeps the sand and the strip behind it off the table for private building. None of the plots on our site are first-line beachfront, and we have no priced listing for it.
If a plot is offered as “on the beach,” a practical check is to get its distance from the high-tide line in writing and compare it with the Lombok Tengah spatial plan before any deposit changes hands.
Flat land just inland, along the Mawun road
This is the easiest land to build on. Listing 7727 is a flat 25 are plantation plot with SHM title, a few hundred meters inland from Pantai Mawun, just north of Jl. Mawun near Warung Ginolan, on a paved road. It asks Rp 80 jt per are, or Rp 2 miliar in total (about USD 123,000). Listing 7352, a 12 are SHM plot near the Mawun road, has its price to be confirmed.
Owner-builders and small villa projects buy here. Flat ground means less cut-and-fill, simpler drainage and cheaper foundations, which shows up directly in the build budget.
The hills and ridges above the bay
The hills around the valley hold the view plots. Listing 7600 is a 172 are SHM hilltop above Mawun’s rice fields, with ocean and hill views and a reservoir in the valley below. It is under contract, so it isn’t available, and its price was never published. Listing 7412 is 200 are in rolling hills with ocean views nearby and direct road access, asking IDR 30 million per are, negotiable after a site inspection.
View land costs less per are than flat land on our site, but it usually costs more to build on. Budget for access tracks, retaining walls and a longer power and water run, and get those quotes before you compare prices per are.
Large development parcels, 100 to 200 are
Two of the five plots are big enough for a project rather than a house. Listing 7396 is 113 are on the Selong Belanak to Kuta road, at Rp 100 jt per are, negotiable after inspection, which is about Rp 11.3 miliar (USD 695,000). Listing 7412, at 200 are and Rp 30 jt per are, comes to about Rp 6 miliar (USD 369,000).
The sellers pitch both for villa resorts, glamping and phased projects. That fits: a parcel this size can be built in stages, with the first villas paying for the next. It also suits land-bankers who plan to split and resell, which brings in the title-splitting steps covered below.
The back road toward Tampah and Selong Belanak
West of the bay, the coast road climbs toward Tampah and Selong Belanak. We have no priced Mawun listing on that side yet. Tampah is anchored by the Tampah Hills estate, which our South Lombok guide covers, and Selong Belanak has its own hub. If you’re looking at land between the two, compare it with the plots in both before you make an offer.
Map of Mawun
The marker shows the flat 25 are plot (listing 7727) just inland from Mawun Beach. Kuta Mandalika lies east along the coast road, with Lombok airport (LOP) inland to the northeast. Selong Belanak, Tampah and Mawi are to the west. The other Mawun plots sit within about two kilometers of the marker, on the hills and along the road.
Mawun land prices per are
Each cell below is tied to a named listing on our site or to the weekly snapshot. Plots marked “price TBD” can’t anchor a figure, so they’re left out.
| Part of Mawun | Beachfront / first line | Flat inland | Hillside view | Large parcel (100+ are) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bay and Mawun road | No listing data | Rp 80 jt (USD 4,920), listing 7727 | No listing data | Rp 100 jt (USD 6,150), listing 7396 |
| Hills above the bay | n/a | n/a | Rp 30 jt (USD 1,845), listing 7412 | Rp 30 jt (USD 1,845), listing 7412; 7600 under contract |
| Whole area, snapshot | Rp 50 to 250 jt (USD 3,075 to 15,375), all plot types |
Prices are asking prices from 29 October 2026. Two of the three sellers say the price is negotiable after a viewing, so treat these as starting points.
Mawun rental yields in practice
Our Lombok rental yield guide works every area the same way, and Mawun follows that method exactly. Revenue is AirDNA’s Central Lombok average of 61% occupancy at USD 109 a night, or USD 24,269 a year. Management takes 20%, insurance 0.5% and local taxes 1%, which together come to 21.5% of revenue. Staff and maintenance add at least USD 6,765 a year for a small 2-bedroom villa.
- Revenue: USD 24,269
- Less 21.5% percentage costs: USD 5,218
- Less fixed staff and maintenance: USD 6,765
- Net: USD 12,286
- On a USD 110,000 villa: 22.1% gross, 11.2% net
- On a USD 220,000 villa: 11.0% gross, 5.6% net
Listings in the area market 15 to 23% gross. Read that as the ceiling, before any costs.
Why does Mawun come out on top? Not because of better demand data. The revenue line is the same Central Lombok (Lombok Tengah) average from AirDNA used for every mainland area, not a Mawun figure. Mawun scores highest only because its villa prices are the lowest in the snapshots. A Mawun villa may not earn Kuta nightly rates or occupancy: the snapshot’s own outlook points to limited amenities and inconsistent road access. If occupancy falls short of 61%, the net figure falls fast, because the fixed costs stay put.
There’s also a practical catch: almost nothing is built to buy. Every Mawun property on our site is land, so the yield above assumes you build first. Price that in with our guide to the cost to build a villa in Lombok, and weigh it against buying a finished villa elsewhere with buy vs build.
Before you trust any Mawun figure, ask a local manager for booking records from villas in the valley, and run them through the same cost lines.

Mawun Properties
Legal, zoning and title in Mawun
Most Mawun plots, including 7727, 7352 and 7600, are sold with SHM (hak milik) title. Only Indonesian citizens can hold SHM, and under Article 26(2) of the Basic Agrarian Law (Law 5/1960) any direct or indirect transfer of hak milik to a foreigner is void by law, which is why nominee arrangements, where a local holds title for a foreigner, give the foreigner no secure claim. Foreign buyers have three main routes:
- Leasehold: a registered lease from the SHM owner, usually for a fixed term with extension terms written in.
- Hak Pakai: the right to use one residential property, for foreigners holding a residence permit.
- PT PMA: a foreign-owned company, which holds land as HGB and suits resort or rental projects. Compare the routes in PT PMA vs Hak Pakai.
Zoning. Check every plot against the Lombok Tengah spatial plan (RTRW) and get a KKPR (spatial-use approval) before you build. Mawun is not part of the Mandalika Special Economic Zone: Government Regulation 52/2014 places that zone’s 1,035.67 hectares within Pujut district around the villages of Kuta, Sukadana, Mertak and Sengkol, and it doesn’t list Tumpak. So a Mandalika label on a Mawun listing doesn’t by itself mean the plot sits in the zone; the regulation’s village list is a quick way to check.
Coastal setback. The minimum 100 meter setback from the high-tide line applies to any plot near the bay, and the regency can set a wider line.
Splitting a large parcel. Buying part of a 113 or 200 are plot means splitting the certificate (pecah sertifikat) at the land office (BPN) before the sale completes. Buyers commonly make the split a condition of the deal and hold back the balance until the new certificate is issued in their own or their company’s name.
Access rights. Hill plots often reach the road across a neighbor’s land. Get the access route surveyed and written into the deed, not agreed with a handshake.
Permits for the build itself are covered in our KKPR, PBG and SLF guide, and the checks before you buy are in four due diligence checks for Lombok land. This page isn’t legal or investment advice. Figures are estimates and asking prices, not guaranteed returns. Use an independent notary (PPAT) and lawyer for any purchase, and a licensed financial adviser for investment decisions.
Getting to Mawun
From Lombok International Airport (LOP), Mawun is about 20 to 25 km, or 40 to 50 minutes by car, according to Indonesia.travel. The route runs via the airport bypass toward Pujut and the Mandalika area, then on to Tumpak. From Kuta Mandalika it’s about 30 minutes, according to Detik Bali.
The final stretch into the bay crosses the hills. Drive the access to any plot yourself, in the wet season if you can, before you commit. A road that’s fine in August can be a different story in January.
Infrastructure and risks
- Water: plan on a borehole or well and storage tanks. Test the water and the dry-season yield before you buy, and ask neighbors how their wells held up last year.
- Power: a resort or a multi-villa build needs more capacity than a house. Ask the state utility (PLN) for a written quote for the connection and the distance to the nearest line.
- Internet: check mobile signal on the plot itself, and ask providers whether they can reach your address.
- Waste: budget for a septic system and private trash collection.
- Slope: hill plots need a soil and slope check, plus drainage that keeps runoff off your neighbors.
- Valley runoff: low ground near the rice fields can collect water in heavy rain. Ask locals where it pools before you site a building.
- Demand: there’s no Mawun-only occupancy data yet. A useful check is whether the numbers still work at lower occupancy than the Central Lombok average.
Mawun compared with nearby areas
| Area | Land price | Calculated net yield | Access and liquidity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mawun | Rp 50 to 250 jt per are (snapshot) | 5.6 to 11.2% | About 30 min to Kuta; land-only stock |
| Kuta Lombok | See the Kuta hub | 2.2 to 7.4% | Closest to the airport; deepest resale market |
| Selong Belanak | See the Selong Belanak hub | 2.0 to 4.9% | Established surf beach; more built villas |
| Areguling | See the Areguling hub | 3.2 to 5.6% | Rougher access; early-stage |
| Tampah (South Lombok guide) | Estate lots; see the South Lombok guide | No figure yet | Master-planned estate with services in place |
Net yields are from our yield guide, and all use the same Central Lombok revenue figure, so the gaps come from villa prices rather than measured demand. Mawun suits a buyer who wants land and is ready to build. Kuta and Selong Belanak suit a buyer who wants finished stock and an easier resale.

Mawun property FAQ
Can foreigners buy land in Mawun?
Not as freehold. Most Mawun plots carry SHM title, which only Indonesian citizens can hold, and nominee deals are void. Foreigners can lease from the SHM owner, hold one home on Hak Pakai with a residence permit, or buy through a PT PMA, which holds land as HGB.
How much does land cost per are in Mawun?
This week’s snapshot shows Rp 50 to 250 jt per are (IDR 500,000 to 2,500,000 per m²). The priced plots on our site ask Rp 30 jt per are for hill land, Rp 80 jt for flat land near the beach road and Rp 100 jt for a 113 are parcel.
What rental yield can a Mawun villa really make?
Our yield guide calculates 11.0 to 22.1% gross and 5.6 to 11.2% net, and listings market 15 to 23% gross as a ceiling. The revenue input is a Central Lombok average, not Mawun data, so a villa here could earn less.
Is Mawun better for land banking or building a rental villa?
Both can work, but they carry different risks. Land banking relies on prices rising, and the +26% annual change rests on one source. Building needs a full budget for construction, water and access, and Mawun rental data is still thin.
Is Mawun or Selong Belanak the better investment?
It depends on what you want to buy. Mawun land is cheaper and calculates a higher net yield of 5.6 to 11.2%, but you’ll be building from scratch. Selong Belanak calculates 2.0 to 4.9% net, with more built villas and an established surf trade.
