Sekotong Land for Sale: Pengantap, Xerana and What Foreign Buyers Should Check (2026)

This guide is general information, not legal advice. Confirm the title, structure and taxes with a licensed notary/PPAT and an Indonesian land lawyer before you pay any deposit.

If you are looking at Sekotong land for sale, you have probably already seen a Pengantap listing, or the Xerana resort news. Sekotong is the quiet southwest peninsula of Lombok, in West Lombok Regency, and it is the part of the island most Kuta buyers never visit. A stated Rp3 trillion resort plan at Pengantap Beach has put the area on more foreign buyers’ maps. This guide covers where Sekotong and Pengantap actually sit, what is listed on Lombok Investment today, what is confirmed about Xerana and what is not, how a foreigner can hold land here, and the infrastructure checks that matter more on this coast than in Kuta.

Where Sekotong and Pengantap are

Sekotong is a district (kecamatan) of West Lombok Regency (Kabupaten Lombok Barat), not Central or South Lombok. That matters for permits: the regency planning office, BPN land office and PDAM utility you deal with are West Lombok’s, not Central Lombok’s. Pengantap Beach (Pantai Pengantap) sits on the south-facing Indian Ocean coast of the peninsula, in Dusun Pengantap, Desa Buwun Mas, Kecamatan Sekotong, according to West Lombok’s own tourism pages and to JPNN’s April 2025 report on the Xerana plan.

On a map, Pengantap sits west of the Selong Belanak / Torok corridor and east of the more remote western tip around Bangko-Bangko and Pelangan. Further west still, Desa Pelangan and Pantai Bola Bola sit on the same peninsula. From Pengantap you can also reach the Secret Gilis / Gili Gede area by boat from the west-coast side of Sekotong. That is a separate market from beachfront land on the south-facing bay.

Drive times vary with road condition and traffic. Treat the figures below as ranges to verify locally, not as guarantees:

From Pengantap / Sekotong	Claimed time or distance	Source (attribute as stated)
Mandalika	about 30 minutes	Xerana president director Ardy Victor, quoted by JPNN, 18 Apr 2025
Lombok International Airport	about 30 km / about 45 minutes	30 km: JPNN via Ardy Victor, 18 Apr 2025. 45 minutes: Xerana Lombok site travel table, read 5 Nov 2026
Kuta Mandalika / Tanjung Aan	about 1 hour	Xerana Lombok site travel table, read 5 Nov 2026
Selong Belanak Bay	about 28 minutes	Xerana Lombok site travel table, read 5 Nov 2026

Those figures do not all agree. Ardy Victor, quoted by JPNN, puts Mandalika at about 30 minutes. Xerana’s own travel table puts Kuta Mandalika / Tanjung Aan at about 1 hour. Different endpoints and different sources, so treat both as claims and verify the drive yourself. Xerana’s site also notes that travel times are indicative and may vary with route, road conditions and traffic.

What’s for sale now (dated listings)

These are the live Lombok Investment listings tied to Sekotong, Pengantap or Buwun Mas as of 5 November 2026. Figures are asking prices from the listing fields, not confirmed sale prices. We do not average them into a “Sekotong price per are” band.

Listing	Where	What	Size	Tenure (as listed)	Asking price (as listed)
Sekotong Beach Land Sale x 2	Bola Bola / Desa Pelangan, Sekotong, West Lombok	Land / plot (two parcels, available separately or together)	50 are total (20 are + 30 are)	Freehold (SHM)	Price on request
Nesara Bay City (formerly Marina Bay City)	Pantai Pengantap, West Lombok	Villa / house units in a planned coastal project	2 are (listing field)	Leasehold / contract (fixed term)	From AUD 100,000 (starting price)
Saraya Resort Lombok	Buwun Mas, Sekotong, West Lombok	Beachfront resort villas	Not stated on the listing field	HGB (building rights)	From AUD 199,000 (starting price)

Two points before you ask about a listing. First, SHM on the Bola Bola land listing is freehold for an Indonesian citizen only. A foreign buyer still needs a legal holding structure (see below). Second, Nesara Bay City (formerly Marina Bay City, now under LUX Property Group) and Saraya are villa / resort products, not raw land plots. Read each listing’s title type, then check the certificate with a PPAT. Browse the wider stock on the West Lombok listings page, and treat any concept project on our Lombok development projects page as a concept until permits and title are verified.

Xerana Lombok: what’s confirmed and what isn’t

What is Xerana Lombok? Xerana Lombok is a proposed resort and villa-plot development at Pengantap Beach in Sekotong, West Lombok. Its developer has described a 21-hectare site with 57 villas and an investment of about Rp3 trillion (JPNN, April 2025). As of an October 2026 release, timelines and pricing were still subject to confirmation.

Confirmed, as of the sources below:

• Location. Pantai Pengantap, Desa Buwun Mas, Kecamatan Sekotong, Lombok Barat (JPNN, 18 Apr 2025).
• Scale, as stated by the developer. About 21 hectares, 57 luxury villas, a stated investment of Rp3 trillion. President director Ardy Victor is quoted saying the site is about 30 minutes from Mandalika and about 30 km from Lombok International Airport (JPNN, 18 Apr 2025). Treat those as the developer’s claims.
• Concept status. An EIN Presswire release dated 21 October 2026, issued for PT Xavier Tiga Naga, describes Xerana as a “proposed premium coastal property development” near Pengantap Beach. Proposed amenities in that release include community gardens, sports facilities and coworking spaces.
• Availability, pricing and timelines. The same 21 October 2026 release states that project availability, pricing, development timelines and contractual arrangements are subject to confirmation through the developer’s authorized representatives. Xerana’s own site also notes that the masterplan layout and amenities are subject to confirmation and change (read 5 Nov 2026).

Not confirmed, and not claimed here:

• Any opening date for phase one or for the resort as a whole.
• Plot prices, villa prices or yields.
• That every advertised permit or road upgrade is already in hand.

Before you put money toward any master-planned project at Pengantap, ask the developer for the land title in the project company’s name, the KKPR spatial-conformity result, the PBG building approval path and the master-plan approval from the West Lombok authorities. Our guides to off-plan property investment and PBG and SLF building permits list the questions that usually surface next.

How a foreigner can hold Sekotong land

Foreigners cannot hold Hak Milik (SHM) freehold. Under Indonesia’s Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA 5/1960), SHM is for Indonesian citizens only (Art. 21), and any transfer to a foreigner, direct or indirect, is void (Art. 26(2)). That covers nominee deals. Our page on why nominee agreements are illegal in Indonesia explains the risk. The workable routes for Sekotong land for sale are the same as elsewhere on Lombok:

Route	Who holds it	Typical term	Rental business?	Entry note
Lease (Hak Sewa) from the SHM owner	You, under a notarized lease	As agreed in the lease	Depends on the lease and your licensing	Clean owner title. All heirs and the spouse should sign
Hak Pakai (individual)	You, generally with a residence permit	30 + 20 + 30 years (PP 18/2021)	No. Residential use only	One house; Rp3 billion minimum for a landed house in NTB (Kepmen ATR/BPN 1241/SK-HK.02/IX/2022)
PT PMA → HGB	Your foreign-owned company	30 + 20 + 30 years (PP 18/2021)	Yes, with the right business licensing	Rp2.5 billion paid-up capital and an investment plan above Rp10 billion per business line per location, generally excluding land and buildings (BKPM Reg. 5/2025)

Can foreigners buy Sekotong land? Not as SHM freehold (UUPA 5/1960 Art. 21 and Art. 26(2)). A foreign buyer usually leases from the Indonesian SHM owner, holds one house on Hak Pakai with a residence permit (PP 18/2021), or buys through a PT PMA that holds the land as HGB. Match the route to the plan. A holiday home can suit Hak Pakai if it clears the NTB minimum. A villa you intend to rent generally needs a PT PMA. A land bank can sit on a lease or in a company, never with a nominee. For the full comparison and current thresholds, read PT PMA vs Hak Pakai and Indonesian land certificate types.

Sekotong-specific checks before you buy

Infrastructure and zoning decide whether a quiet bay plot is buildable. On Sekotong’s southwest coast, run these checks before a deposit leaves your account. Where we do not have a plot-level public source, we phrase the item as a question to ask.

• Road access. Is the access to the plot itself legal (shown on the survey map or as a registered right of way), or only a neighbor’s verbal permission? Can a concrete truck reach the site in the wet season? Confirm on the ground. Listing language such as “road frontage” is the seller’s description until you see it.
• PLN power. Is there a PLN connection on the plot, or how far is the nearest pole? Ask PLN West Lombok for a written connection check before you budget for a build.
• Fresh water. Is there a PDAM connection, a licensed bore well (sumur bor), or neither? If the plot relies on a bore, ask whether the well is permitted for the intended use. Do not assume an existing well is licensed.
• Phone and data signal. Walk the plot with your phone on more than one network. Coverage on the peninsula is uneven, so check it yourself rather than trust a brochure.
• KKPR zoning and coastal setback. Confirm the plot’s zone under West Lombok’s spatial plan before you pay. National rules (Perpres 51/2016) require local governments to set a coastal setback (sempadan pantai). Have that line drawn on the plot plan. West Lombok’s public works office demolished three resort buildings and a seawall at Pengantap in late May / early June 2026 for crossing the coastal setback, after three written warnings (Inside Lombok, quoting Dinas PUPRPKP head Lalu Ratnawi on 1 Jun 2026). Enforcement is not theoretical. Our PBG and SLF guide covers the permit order after KKPR.
• Former artisanal gold-mining areas. Sekotong district has a documented history of small-scale gold mining that used mercury. National Geographic reported mercury-related harm in Sekotong mining villages in 2016. That does not mean every beachfront plot is contaminated, but it is a fair question: ask your notary and an environmental consultant whether the specific parcel sits near former processing sites, and whether soil or water testing is warranted.
• Title and disputes. Run the certificate through a PPAT, match the surat ukur to the pegs on the ground, and confirm that every heir and the spouse will sign. Our four due-diligence checks for Lombok land is the short list to take to the notary.

Sekotong vs Kuta vs Selong Belanak

This is a qualitative comparison only, based on our experience placing buyers across these three coasts. For current asking prices in the south, use the dedicated hubs. This page does not repeat those figures.

	Sekotong / Pengantap	Kuta / Mandalika	Selong Belanak
Regency	West Lombok	Central Lombok	Central Lombok
Access	Longer drives, peninsula roads, and boat links to the Secret Gilis on the west side	Closest to the airport circuit and Mandalika	West of Kuta on the south-coast road
Buyer crowd (in our experience)	Quieter, with fewer walk-in tourists	Busiest south-coast market	Popular with surf and villa buyers
Liquidity (in our experience)	Thinner resale pool today	Deepest south-coast resale pool	More active than Sekotong, less than Kuta
Where to read prices	Live listings on this site (table above)	Kuta Lombok property investment	Selong Belanak real estate and the South Lombok guide

In our experience, Sekotong suits a buyer who wants quieter beachfront or near-beach land, accepts thinner liquidity, and will do harder infrastructure homework. Kuta and Selong Belanak suit buyers who want more comparable sales and a denser rental guest pool. Neither choice is better until you know your hold period and build plan.

Is Sekotong land for sale right for you?

Sekotong land for sale is worth a serious look if you want West Lombok’s quieter southwest coast, you are comfortable verifying road, power, water and setback yourself, and you will only buy through a clean lease, Hak Pakai or PT PMA structure. It is the wrong first call if you need deep resale liquidity next year, or if you were hoping for a confirmed Xerana opening date. There isn’t one in the public releases we checked.
