About Saraya Beach Resort and Residences
Saraya is a 154-villa integrated beachfront resort on 3.73 hectares of direct Indian Ocean frontage in Sekotong, West Lombok. It is designed as a complete resort destination — private-pool villas, shared resort amenities, and Amara Beach Club, a standalone beachfront dining and lifestyle venue that is open to both guests and the public.
Sekotong, West Lombok
Sekotong sits on Lombok's southwest coastline — direct Indian Ocean frontage, white sand beaches, and a short boat ride to the quieter Gili islands: Nanggu, Sudak, and Tangkong. Lombok International Airport is 30 minutes away, with direct international routes from Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Jakarta.
The Mandalika International Street Circuit — now an established host of the MotoGP Indonesian Grand Prix — has brought sustained government infrastructure investment and international visitors to Lombok. The southwest coastline has not yet repriced to reflect those changes, which is a significant part of why the Saraya site made sense when Kinnara Capital identified it.
Six Villa Types — AUD $199,000 to AUD $1,138,500
Saraya offers six villa types, all with private pools. The Aegean starts at AUD $199,000. The flagship Altura is at AUD $1,138,500 with panoramic ocean outlook and full premium specification. Every type sits within the managed resort framework, with access to shared amenities and the beach club. The full masterplan is at kinnara.capital/masterplan.
Amara Beach Club
Amara Beach Club is the commercial heart of Saraya — a beachfront dining and lifestyle venue with its own brand identity, open to resort guests and outside visitors. It gives the resort an independent reason to draw people to the precinct, which matters for occupancy, for atmosphere, and for the long-term value of the villas within it. Amara's own site is at amarabeachclub.com.
Where Construction Stands
Phase 1 MEP works are underway on site. Construction is being delivered by Zhongqi Huapu Construction Co. with PT TSG Construction Indonesia as the local executor. The base programme targets practical completion by January 2028. A live construction timeline — updated as each phase progresses — is at kinnara.capital/development-timeline. Every investor has live CCTV access to the site.

Saraya Beach Resort and Residences is Kinnara Capital's flagship development.
