Why Buying Off-Plan Villas in Selong Belanak Is a Smart Move
At East Islands, we’re excited to offer beautifully designed two-bedroom and three-bedroom villas in Selong Belanak, South Lombok.
As the region continues to grow in popularity, buying off-plan is becoming one of the smartest ways to invest in this emerging paradise. Here’s why purchasing an off-plan villa can offer more benefits than buying a completed property.
Lower Purchase Price & Early Bird Savings
Off-plan properties are almost always priced below market value, giving buyers a competitive edge before construction is even complete.
Key benefits:
• Typically 5% to 20% cheaper than finished properties
• Developers offer incentives for early buyers
• Increased equity by the time construction finishes
• Lock in current prices before the market rises
In Selong Belanak, land prices are on the rise due to increased interest from domestic and international investors. Early buyers are already seeing strong capital growth.
Flexible, Staggered Payment Plans
One of the most attractive advantages of off-plan investing is the payment structure. Rather than paying the full amount upfront, you can pay in stages tied to construction milestones.
Payment benefits include:
• Reduced initial financial commitment
• Easier cash flow management
• Opportunity to plan finances around the build timeline
• Less dependency on large upfront capital
Many developers offer payment terms like 10% deposit and stage payments (e.g. 20% at groundbreaking, 30% at mid-construction, and balance at completion).

Potential for Capital Appreciation
In a fast-developing location like South Lombok, early-stage investments often appreciate significantly during the construction period.
Why this matters:
• Property value often increases 20% to 30% by handover
• Secure higher resale value before you even move in
• Potential to flip the property for profit before completion
• Ride the wave of infrastructure and tourism development in the region
Buying off-plan allows you to benefit from the economic upswing in Lombok without having to wait until the entire project is finished.
Choice of Premium Villas and Customisation
When you buy off-plan, you get first pick of the best units before they are sold. You can also personalise the design and layout.
Customisation options often include:
• Choosing your preferred plot location
• Selecting finishes and materials
• Adjusting room layouts or adding features
• Personalising interior design packages
This level of control is rarely available with finished properties and gives you the ability to tailor the villa to your taste or market trends.

Modern Design and Lower Maintenance Costs
Newly built villas are designed using the latest technology and materials, which translates into fewer repairs and lower maintenance.
Advantages of a new build include:
• Energy-efficient materials and appliances
• Warranties on construction and infrastructure
• Compliance with latest safety and building codes
• Reduced repair costs for the first 5-10 years
Finished villas may have outdated systems or require immediate upgrades, adding unforeseen costs after purchase.
Higher Rental Yields & Income Potential
Modern, stylish villas in emerging tourist destinations like Selong Belanak are in high demand on platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com.
Why off-plan villas attract better returns:
• Lower purchase cost = higher return on investment (ROI)
• New construction appeals more to tourists and long-term renters
• Can command premium nightly rates
• High occupancy potential due to location and design
