From what the villa earns to what you receive
Revenue€59,300
Net to the owner€23,111
For every €100 the villa earns, €35 to €43 reaches you, depending on the scenario. The difference covers booking-platform commissions, day-to-day operations (cleaning, staff, utilities), maintenance and Marlaca's management fee.
In the conservative scenario you receive €18,159 a year, about €1,500 a month, after all costs and management.
2-bedroom sea-view villa (€260,000): 10.2% · 12.9% · 16.6% depending on the scenario.
Before corporate income tax. Not guaranteed. These are projections from the Marlaca IV operating model for 2027. The base scenario is our target; the conservative one is the one we use to decide. We send you the full spreadsheet so you can review every assumption.
Management
We run the villa. You receive the net and the detail.
Bookings
Every channel
Booking, Airbnb and direct reservations on Marlaca Villas, with rates we adjust daily according to demand.
Operations
In-house team
Guest reception, cleaning, pool, garden and 24-hour maintenance, with Marlaca staff on the island.
Reports
Everything in view
Occupancy, average rate, income and expenses for your villa, explained line by line.
Payout
Your share, in your account
We transfer the net result every six months, in January and July, with its report. When you visit the island, the villa is waiting, ready for you.
20%
Management fee on gross operating profit (GOP). GOP is what remains of the villa's income after platform commissions and operating costs. No hidden costs.
How to buy
From the first call to the handover of the keys.
1
Video call or visit
We show you the villas, the construction site and the numbers. If you are in Lombok, you come and see them.
2
Reservation and contract
You choose your villa, we guide you through setting up your company and we sign the sale contract with a notary, in Spanish or English. The whole process can be done remotely.
3
Payments as construction progresses
Construction takes 12 to 14 months, with a local builder under our daily supervision. You pay 40% on signing, 40% in milestones during construction and the remaining 20% at least two months before the villa is finished, and you receive photos of each stage.
4
Turnkey handover
You receive the villa furnished and ready. From that day it enters management and starts to be rented out.
Legal structure
Exactly what you buy.
Indonesian law does not allow a foreigner to hold full freehold ownership of land. You therefore buy through a recognised legal structure, which we explain with our notary before you sign. Marlaca runs the villa under a management contract: it rents it out and pays you the net, but it does not own your villa.
Company
PT PMA: an Indonesian foreign-owned company, in your name or shared.
Right
HGB: right to build (Hak Guna Bangunan, HGB) and use the land, for renewable terms.
Support
A notary and local lawyers throughout the process, with documents in English.
Why Lombok
Bali's neighbouring island, with its growth still ahead.
Kuta is the gateway to the Mandalika special economic zone: a MotoGP circuit, surf beaches, the Gili Islands and Mount Rinjani, a UNESCO Global Geopark.
It has its own international airport, with new direct routes to Asia, and international hotel brands are already arriving on the south coast.

Frequently asked questions
What people ask us before investing.
What title do I hold over the villa?
You buy through a PT PMA company that holds an HGB right over the land, which allows you to build on and use the property for renewable terms. It is not full ownership of the land, which Indonesian law reserves for its citizens. We explain it with our notary before you sign.
Is the return guaranteed?
No. We work with three scenarios (11%, 14% and 18% a year, before corporate income tax) and show you the assumptions behind each. What we do have are real results from operating villas, such as Villa Nina in 2025.
Can I visit the villas that are already operating?
Yes. If you are in Lombok, we show you operating villas and the construction in progress. If not, we do the visit by video call.
Can I use the villa myself?
Yes. You reserve the dates you want and the villa is rented out the rest of the year. The more nights you use it, the lower the rental result will be.
How much does Marlaca charge to manage the villa?
20% of gross operating profit (GOP): what remains of the income after platform commissions and operating costs.
How do I pay?
40% on signing the sale contract, 40% in milestones during construction and the remaining 20% at least two months before the villa is finished. A fractional share is reserved with €5,000 and, once the Partnership Agreement is signed, the rest is paid. We send you the payment schedule with the contract.
What if I want to invest less than €165,000?
You can get in with a fractional share from €36,800: 4% of the company that owns four 2-bedroom villas at Marlaca IV, with a €5,000 reservation and the rest after signing the Partnership Agreement, and you receive your share of the net profit in a six-monthly distribution. It includes a proportional right of use. No fixed return guaranteed.
