A Conscious Estate on Indonesia’s Last Frontier

The Story of Rinjani Bay

Where Our Story Begins

The owners of Rinjani Bay first arrived in Sumbawa in 2012, with an eye for the extraordinary and years of experience building sustainable growth. What they found stopped them in their tracks, raw, unfiltered natural beauty, warm and welcoming people, and a bay that felt like one of nature’s last unspoilt paradises. It was clear almost immediately. This was the place.

Their vision was simple to say, harder to do. Bring authentic wildness to travellers who’d recognise it for what it was, while helping local communities protect their heritage and build lasting prosperity alongside it.

Rinjani Bay

A hideaway estate, set within wild, unspoilt surroundings.

Our Values

Culture

Design and daily life shaped by Samawa heritage, not a generic tropical style.

Community

Built with, and for, the people who already call this coast home.

Comfort

Comfort built for the tropics, without losing the feel of the place.

Conservation

Protecting the coastline and forest is part of the plan, not an afterthought.

Sumbawa’s Conscious Estate

As a Conscious Estate, Rinjani Bay prioritises stewardship over overdevelopment. Located just 20 minutes from Kiantar Airport and 15km from Lombok, the estate offers what we call Accessible Isolation — remote enough to feel transported, close enough to feel reachable. Our commitment to chemical-free Organic Gardens and marine conservation ensures the land remains a high-value asset for future generations of owners, residents, and the local communities who call this coastline home.
