    01

    Plant the Seed

    Incorporation

    • PT PMA establishment & articles of association
    • NPWP & PKP tax registration
    • OSS business licensing & NIB
    • Corporate bank account setup

    Secure the Ground

    Land Acquisition

    Through our network and proprietary land intelligence tools, we identify prime parcels suited to your vision — whether beachfront, hilltop, or nestled in sacred forest. Full due diligence, zoning verification, and title structuring ensure every acquisition is ethically sourced and legally bulletproof.

    • Parcel sourcing via Satu Peta & local networks
    • Zoning & environmental due diligence
    • Hak Pakai / HGB title structuring
    • Community liaison & ethical negotiation

    Build with Purpose

    Development

    From architectural concept to final handover — we manage the entire build. Our development partners specialise in sustainable, climate-responsive construction that honours Sumbanese vernacular while meeting international hospitality standards. 6–12 room boutique retreats or nightly villa compounds, built to last.

    • Architectural design & permitting (IMB/PBG)
    • Sustainable material sourcing
    • Construction management & QA
    • MEP, landscaping & FF&E procurement

    Shape the Story

    Brand Development

    A property without a soul is just a building. We craft your brand identity — name, visual language, narrative, and digital presence — so your retreat enters the market with a voice that resonates with conscious travellers seeking something beyond the ordinary.

    • Brand strategy & naming
    • Visual identity & collateral design
    • Website & booking platform
    • Photography & content production
