Lombok could become a luxury destination.

Bali’s tranquil neighbor Lombok is about to step into the global spotlight. In a bold move that’s set to redefine the Indonesian tourism and real estate landscape, two visionary Australian developers have unveiled Marina Bay City — a $6 billion smart city rising on the sun-soaked southern shores of Lombok.

Dubbed the “Dubai meets Bali” of Southeast Asia, Marina Bay City promises ultra-modern infrastructure, sustainable living, and unmatched luxury, within one of Indonesia’s fastest-growing economic zones.

Marina Bay City is poised to become one of Southeast Asia’s most iconic destinations. Combining the luxury appeal of Dubai, the natural beauty of Bali, and the freedom of Lombok — this is where the future of smart, sustainable, and secure living begins.

A Game-Changer for Lombok’s Future

Lombok has long been beloved by surfers, trekkers, and travelers seeking serenity beyond Bali’s bustling beaches. Now, this unspoiled island is gearing up to become a premier destination for global expats, high-net-worth individuals, and lifestyle investors.

Marina Bay City is already under construction in the Mandalika Special Economic Zone and is being spearheaded by entrepreneurs Jamie McIntyre, founder of the Australian National Review, and Adrian Campbell, CEO of the real estate firm Kinnara. Their shared vision is to create one of Southeast Asia’s most forward-thinking coastal cities.

“This isn’t just real estate — it’s a new lifestyle paradigm,” says Campbell.
“We’re building a city of the future for those who want freedom, wellness, and prosperity on their own terms.”

What to Expect: World-Class Living by the Sea

Spanning over 150 acres of master-planned luxury, Marina Bay City will blend high-end living with cutting-edge smart infrastructure. Key features include:

• Luxury beachfront villas & canal-front apartments
• Five-star resorts and boutique hotels
• Private international hospital & world-class wellness centers
• Lifestyle districts, retail boulevards, and dining precincts
• Digital workspaces, innovation hubs, and co-living zones
• Eco-conscious architecture designed for longevity and sustainability

Early investors can secure property starting from AUD 139,000, making it both a lucrative and lifestyle-enhancing opportunity.

Why Lombok? Why Now?

Located just minutes from the Mandalika International Circuit, home to Indonesia’s MotoGP events, and the Lombok International Airport, Marina Bay City is strategically positioned for long-term growth.

The Indonesian government, through its state-owned enterprise ITDC, recently signed multi-trillion rupiah contracts to supercharge infrastructure development across Lombok — from upgraded ports and roads to new tourism facilities. ITDC is also known for managing Nusa Dua in Bali, the site of prestigious global events like the G20 Summit.

“Lombok is now Asia’s most promising coastal frontier,” says McIntyre.
“People around the world are looking for more freedom, affordability, and opportunity. This city is our answer.”

A Freedom-Focused Smart City

Backed by private equity and early land acquisitions, Marina Bay City represents a new breed of development — one driven by vision, not bureaucracy. Plans are already underway to incorporate:

• Tokenized real estate investment options
• Digital residency programs for expats
• Green building technologies and carbon-neutral construction methods
• Secure gated communities and digital-first governance

Global Interest Is Growing

With construction now in full swing, investor interest is rapidly increasing. Whether you’re a digital nomad, early-stage investor, or someone seeking a new home in paradise, Marina Bay City offers a rare chance to get in early on a landmark coastal development.

“It’s not just about property,” says Campbell.
“It’s about a better way of life, in a place where you truly feel free.”
