OUR JOURNEY
Where It All Begins
As with all things of true beauty, Lombok becomes irresistible once experienced in person.
This was certainly the effect it had on the Founders of Rascal Republic, an experiential portfolio based in Singapore, when they first arrived in 2003.
Sensing that the emergence of the “next Bali” was only going to be a matter of time, they methodically explored the Indonesian Archipelago in search of opportunity. With the accessible geographic location, diverse topography, host of outdoor activities and clean-slate for sustainable development established, Lombok as a clear winner.
The Journey of Evolution
The land now known as Samara Lombok was first acquired in 2008; at the time it was a 5-hour expedition to reach the site from the old International Airport involving a treacherous journey from car to 4×4 to motorbike to foot trail. Today it is only a 25 minute drive on smoothly paved road from Lombok’s international airport.
The evolution of this physical journey is a well suited analogy to the “journey” that the founders have undertaken over the past 15 years.
By patiently and assiduously navigating the land buying process, securing legitimate permits, building solid personal relationships with not only the local government, but also the local community, and painstakingly building over 10km of internal roads – they have finally found themselves on the precipice of realizing their original vision from almost two decades ago.
Samara Lombok is mirroring the success on land that Rascal Voyages has seen at sea, offering luxurious private charters to off-grid locations throughout the Indonesian archipelago.

Strong and speedy capital appreciation is desirable, of course. However, without a sustainable and thoughtful approach, Samara Lombok would risk repeating the same mistakes made by our famous island neighbour. That is why we have expended the time, money and energy to design and create something beyond a two year upside.
The end of every journey is the beginning of a new one.
Join us for a personal tour of the site and begin planting seeds for the future now.
