Labuan Bajo (Flores), gateway to the famous Komodo National Park, is quickly emerging as one of Indonesia’s most promising real estate frontiers. Recognized as one of the government’s “10 New Balis,” the area has experienced rapid infrastructure development, including an upgraded international airport and improved roads and ports. Land prices are still relatively low, especially compared to Bali, but have seen a steady rise due to increased tourism and resort development. The demand for boutique accommodations and eco-resorts is on the rise, driven by adventure travelers and luxury seekers alike. Foreign investors can acquire land through a PT PMA, and should work closely with local legal advisors to navigate land classification and licensing.
