The infrastructure, tourism and access trends shaping Lombok's property market in 2026, with sources, and what they mean for investors.
Lombok in 2026 is an emerging market with momentum on several fronts at once: government-backed infrastructure, an expanded international airport, the Mandalika Special Economic Zone, and rising visitor numbers. The figures below are indicative and drawn from public sources; investors should verify them against the cited authorities before relying on them.
| Driver | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Government-backed infrastructure | US$3B+ across Lombok / Mandalika | Kemenparekraf / BKPM |
| Airport expansion | Capacity expanded, 2024; direct routes from Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Perth | Lombok International Airport |
| Mandalika MotoGP | 140,324 spectators, 2025 (record) | Jakarta Globe / Jakarta Post, Oct 2025 |
| Visitor growth | International arrivals up year-on-year | BPS Provinsi NTB, 2025 |
What it means for investors
Each driver points the same way: a market in an earlier phase of the cycle that public investment and global events are actively building out. For property, that typically means entry prices below mature neighbours such as Bali, with the potential upside, and the risk, that comes with an emerging destination. Kapal Oasis is positioned to capture this through a fixed-income product rather than a speculative one: a Resort Studio returns a fixed 20% rental income regardless of how the wider market performs in any given year.
Risks and caveats
- Emerging markets are less liquid than established ones; exit timing can be less certain.
- Returns paid in USD carry currency risk on conversion to your home currency.
- Regulation and market conditions change; figures here are indicative and should be verified.
- This is general information, not financial, tax or investment advice. Obtain independent advice for your circumstances.
