A Marina For Lombok

A Dream Coming True

For Many years now we have heard about plans for a world class marina on Lombok. In LTDC’s 1990 brochure for Kuta, there were plans for sixteen golf courses and of course, a marina.

Twenty years late the Novotel Coralia Resort stands alone as a top class hotel in Kuta. Emaar now holds the key to developments down south but, as with all mega projects, major financing is require and it could be many years again before we see yachts sailing into a lagoon behind Putri Nyale beach.

In the meantime local company has been quietly beavering away to bring a dream to fruition. PT. Wisata Alam Samudera has plans well advanced to develop Medana Bay Marina into an international class marina.

Within a naturally Well sheltered bay, on the safe northern sailing route to Sumbawa and Flores and just an hour’s sail away from the three Gilis, Medana Bay seems an ideal spot for a marina.

With the top end Oberoi Resort, and boutique Medana Resort within walking distance of their site, and Kosaido golf course just 3km away, a lot of good infrastructure already exists around this tranquil spot.
