Samara Lombok

Samara villa for sale: Samara Lombok is a 150-hectare master-planned resort development on Lombok’s south coast, roughly 30 minutes from Lombok International Airport, opening in Q1 2028 with 500 villas across three distinct precincts. This listing covers villa ownership opportunities within the development — a genuine alternative to the standalone villa or land purchases more commonly found elsewhere on Lombok.

The development is organized into three precincts, each with its own character. Samara Bay is the social heart of the project, home to a clubhouse, cocktail bars, dining venues, and the Samara Bay Hotel — the setting for the two-storey, cliff-integrated Frangipani villa collection (2 bedrooms, sweeping ocean views, ground-floor entertaining space with pool and BBQ, two en-suite bedrooms upstairs). Samara Beach is positioned as a family-oriented precinct, with a sports pavilion, a tennis and padel centre developed in partnership with Rafael Nadal, watersports, a kids’ club, and the Samara Beach Hotel — home to the single-level, indoor-outdoor Tamarind villa collection, available in 2, 3, or 4-bedroom configurations with a private pool. Samara Hills rounds out the development as a walkable wellness precinct, with a restaurant, organic gardens, and a wellness centre.

Ownership at Samara is structured as a leasehold of up to 90 years, sold on a fixed-price, milestone-based turnkey basis — buyers purchase a completed villa rather than raw land, with Samara handling ongoing maintenance and operations. Owners retain flexible personal usage rights, with an optional managed rental program available for those who want their villa generating income when they’re not using it themselves.

Samara Beach’s family programming extends beyond the tennis and padel courts to include HYROX-style fitness facilities, mini golf, watersports, and marine biology programs for younger residents and guests — a genuine point of difference from the typical villa-and-pool offering found at most Lombok developments. Samara Hills, meanwhile, includes a hospitality training hotel as part of its wellness-focused programming, alongside its own restaurant and organic gardens. Additional lifestyle brand partnerships — including chef Will Meyrick, children’s food specialist Annabel Karmel, and adventure operator Rascal Voyages — round out the resort’s dining and activity programming across the three precincts.

Beyond the precinct-level amenities, the development includes twelve food and beverage outlets across its three boutique hotels, developed in partnership with Hyatt under its Destination by Hyatt brand — a meaningful signal of the level of hospitality standard the development is targeting. The project has also secured real capital backing from Westgrove Partners, publicly announced in 2025, and is planning an initial launch of 150 operational villas alongside all three hotels and the complete resort facilities, ahead of full build-out to the eventual 500-villa total.

For a buyer, Samara represents a different kind of Lombok property opportunity than a standalone land or villa purchase — a turnkey villa within a fully managed resort environment, backed by international hospitality partnerships and a defined amenity program, rather than a self-managed asset. That structure suits buyers who want the upside of Lombok’s growing tourism market with the convenience of professional management already built in, whether the villa is intended primarily as a personal retreat, an income-generating asset through the rental program, or both.

Given the scale and detail involved in a development of this kind — precinct choice, villa collection, lease terms, and the phased opening timeline all factor into the decision — we’d recommend speaking directly with Lombok Investment for full pricing, availability by precinct and villa type, and a proper walkthrough of the ownership structure before committing. If a Samara villa for sale within a fully-amenitized, internationally-backed resort development is what you’re considering, this is one of the most ambitious projects currently underway on Lombok’s south coast.
