Six weeks ago, Saraya Beach Resort & Residences had broken ground at two sites. Today, the Mandalika display villa has moved from cleared earth through basement, ground floor, second-floor pour and is now approaching rough lockup — and the 3.73-hectare main beachfront site at Sekotong has been fully cleared, with the boundary wall rising, staff accommodation under vertical construction and infrastructure works underway. This is the second formal construction update following April 2026's groundbreaking report, and the pace on the ground has changed everything that follows.
May 2026 — Saraya at a Glance
- 2 active sites under live CCTV monitoring
- 39 days from groundbreaking to roof structure at the Mandalika display villa
- 10 days targeted to rough lockup at Mandalika
- 3.73 hectares of beachfront at the main Sekotong site fully cleared
From Groundbreaking to Roof in Six Weeks
In six weeks, the Elysian display villa at Mandalika has moved from cleared ground through foundations, basement, ground floor and second-floor pour — with the roof structure now approaching completion. The build also includes a purpose-built basement, unique to this villa and not replicated across the rest of the Saraya portfolio. It will house a private presentation suite for prospective purchasers and agents, keeping the experience of the Elysian above undisturbed.
This pace is not the Indonesian norm. Standard residential construction timelines in Indonesia run twelve to eighteen months, frequently with delays and cost overruns. Saraya is being delivered by a precision-engineered international construction partnership, with timelines and quality standards set deliberately to reset the benchmark in the region.
Display Villa Build Clock
- Day 1 — 9 April 2026: Basement construction commenced
- Day 22 — 1 May 2026: Basement structure completed
- Day 37 — 15 May 2026: Second floor and roof structure approaching completion
- Within 14 days: Rough lockup stage targeted
"Anyone can promise a delivery timeline. We're putting ours on live CCTV, monthly reports and a build clock that started on 9 April. The proof is on the record."
— Adrian Campbell, CEO, Kinnara Capital
Mandalika Display Villa — On Site
The display villa sits inside the Mandalika Special Economic Zone, opposite the Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit. Beyond the headline structural progress, the supporting trades are already in motion: drainage infrastructure has been installed ahead of the surrounding works, the basement is closed and the second-floor pour has been completed to international structural standards.
Main Site: Sekotong Beachfront Clearing Complete
One hour west of Mandalika, the main Sekotong beachfront site has moved decisively into its infrastructure phase. Six weeks ago, the 3.73-hectare Pengantap Beach footprint was working agricultural land. Today it is fully cleared, under continuous CCTV, with the boundary wall rising, staff accommodation under vertical construction and site offices operational. Roads, levels and services are being established now, ahead of main villa construction in the next reporting period.
Currently Underway at Sekotong
- Land clearing complete — beachfront site fully cleared, main site under live CCTV
- Staff accommodation — worker housing under vertical construction
- Boundary block wall — active construction underway around the site perimeter
- Site offices operational — project management containers installed and in use
- Land acquisition secured — further land acquired to widen the entrance road to 8 metres, creating a luxury site arrival
What Comes Next
The next reporting period is expected to bring the display villa to internal fit-out and the main site to main villa construction commencement.
At the Mandalika display villa, rough lockup is targeted within 14 days, walls and roof are scheduled for completion by end of May, and internal fit-out plus the basement presentation suite will then commence.
At the main Sekotong site, staff accommodation and canteen facilities will be completed, the boundary block wall will be closed, the infrastructure phase — roads, levels and site services — will be established, the 8-metre luxury entrance road will be widened, and main villa construction is scheduled to commence.
Across both sites, continuous live CCTV access will be maintained for registered purchasers, and the next full construction update will be released within thirty days.
Why This Update Matters
Resort developments in Indonesia are usually judged on what is promised. Saraya is increasingly being judged on what is on the record. A 39-day groundbreaking-to-roof timeline at a flagship display villa — captured on CCTV, with monthly written reports, against an Indonesian baseline of twelve to eighteen months — is the kind of evidence that compounds. Each subsequent update narrows the gap between commitment and delivery.
