From our beginnings
to your future.
A team of friends, founders and operators — building places in South Lombok with a long-term view.
It started with a place
we wanted to share.
In 2013, Steve, Wolfgang and Timo met during their international studies in Bali. A shared fascination with Indonesia — its architecture, nature and way of life — became a long friendship and, eventually, a shared way of working.
Sarah and Steve were among the first to offer accommodation in Selong Belanak. In 2019, SUKU Lifestyle Hotel welcomed its first guests. Wolfgang and Timo joined with experience in finance, operations, marketing and creative direction.
Today, Indo Eco Ventures unites that local foundation with an international network — developing, building and operating hospitality and real estate projects on Lombok’s south coast.
“We don’t build somewhere else and bring it here. We build from here.”

Operate what we develop
One team from concept to guest experience. That is how standards stay consistent.
Share the upside
Transparent structures, fair partnerships and long-term relationships with investors and neighbours.
The next chapter
of Indonesian hospitality.
Just east of Bali, Lombok combines white-sand bays, dramatic hills and a slower, more authentic rhythm. New infrastructure and a growing tourism market are opening the next wave of opportunity.
Selong Belanak sits at the centre of it: a sweeping bay, a strong local community and a growing number of independent restaurants, stays and surf schools.
