Area guide

The South Lombok area guide, from someone who lives it.

Kuta, Selong Belanak, Are Guling, Gerupuk and the rest of the south coast, each with its own vibe, price band and who it suits. Use it to find where you belong.

South Lombok is not one market, it is a string of bays and villages, each at a different stage. Knowing the difference is the single biggest edge a buyer can have. Here is the honest rundown.

Insider access

Featured: Tampah Beach

We have direct relationships with the owners of Tampah’s two standout projects. Come to us first for plot selection and pricing that can beat the public list.

Direct founder relationships

Featured: Tampah Beach

One of the south coast’s most beautiful stretches, and the one where we have the deepest access. We work directly with the owners of two standout Tampah projects, so our buyers get first pick of plots, hands-on selection, and pricing that can come in below the public list.

Every bay on the south coast

Find where you belong.

Established Hub

Kuta

The hub of South Lombok — established town with the strongest rental demand, best liquidity, and the widest range of cafes, schools and services.

Highest liquidity Best yield

Postcard Beach

Selong Belanak

The postcard beach of South Lombok — gentle bay, beginner surf, fast-rising land values. Inventory is tightening rapidly.

Fast-rising values Beginner surf

Rising Hotspot

Are Guling

Dramatic clifftop land with Indian Ocean views. Lower entry prices than Kuta with strong infrastructure upside.

Lower entry price Strong upside

Emerging Investment

Gerupuk

Traditional fishing village with world-class surf breaks and emerging villa investment at still-affordable prices.

World-class surf Still affordable

Hidden Gem

Torok

A hidden crescent bay with crystal-clear water and almost no development — one of the last areas at true early-stage pricing.

Early-stage pricing First-mover advantage

Boutique Lifestyle

Mawun

Pristine horseshoe bay sheltered by dramatic headlands — calm water, white sand, and exceptional villa site opportunities.

Panoramic views Proven rental thesis

Premium Scarcity

Tanjung Aan

Iconic twin bays with two types of white sand just 5 minutes from Kuta — one of Lombok's most visually dramatic beaches.

High scarcity Strong premium demand

Tampah Beach

Our favourite stretch, and the one where we can do the most for you. Tampah is a quiet, white-sand bay about 15 minutes west of Kuta, anchored by two projects we work with directly: Tampah Reserve, an eco-luxury community of hillside sea-view lots and modern vernacular villas, and Tampah Hills, a 120-hectare seaside society with ocean-view land lots and architect-designed villas. Because we have direct owner relationships, our buyers get first pick of plots, hands-on selection, and pricing that can come in below the public list. Talk to us about Tampah before anyone else.

Kuta Lombok

If you want amenities, community and rental income from day one, start here. Kuta has the cafes, the schools, the surf and the tourists, which means the strongest short-term rental demand on the coast. You pay more per are than anywhere else nearby, but liquidity and yield are the trade-off you get back.

Selong Belanak

The beach everyone photographs. A gentle, family-friendly bay with beginner-friendly waves and a steady stream of lifestyle buyers. Land values have climbed quickly and verified inventory is tightening, so good plots move fast.

Are Guling

Where a lot of the smart money is quietly going. Entry prices are well below Kuta, and the upside case rests on improving roads, the Hyatt opening and the broader Mandalika build-out. Ideal for a patient buyer who wants growth.

Gerupuk

A real working fishing village wrapped around a surf-rich bay. It has become a favourite for investors who want character and ocean views without Kuta prices.

Mawun & Torok

For buyers who prioritise nature, privacy and dramatic coastline over nightlife. Lower entry points, quieter roads, and a slower, greener pace of life.

Tanjung Aan & Tampah

Some of the most famous white sand on the island, plus headland plots with trophy views. This is premium and occasionally record-breaking territory, where due diligence matters most.
An interactive price-per-are map and live plot pins will live here. For now, ask the Compass Concierge or book a call for current pricing in any specific area.
