Beachfront Land for Sale Freehold in Sumba

The key facts
Who owns whatFreehold
Freehold (Hak Milik / SHM). Full ownership with no end date. Only Indonesian citizens can hold it. Foreigners can't own freehold in their own name. "Nominee" arrangements (an Indonesian holding it for you) aren't legally protected, and a Bali regulation from February 2026 (Perda Bali 4/2026) bans them, with administrative sanctions.
Freehold: for Indonesian buyers. A foreign buyer’s options:
Through your own company (PT PMA, Hak Guna Bangunan)
A foreign-owned Indonesian company can hold a right to build and use the land (HGB). It usually starts at 30 years and can be extended and renewed. It needs a registered company with the right business licence, and it has setup and yearly costs. Owning through a company does not by itself let you rent the villa to guests: short-stay rental needs its own tourism licence, and the small-villa rental licence is currently closed to foreign-owned companies. Check what's allowed for your structure before you buy.
Right to use (Hak Pakai)
Foreigners can hold a right to use a home to live in (the rules require a valid permit to be in Indonesia, not necessarily a KITAS). It starts at up to 30 years and can be extended and renewed. There's a minimum property price, set by region. Of these options it's the one banks may finance; leaseholds generally can't be.
This is general information, not legal advice. Check the title and the contract with an independent notary (PPAT) before paying anything.

The land

Questions to ask before you buy
- Can I see the land certificate (SHM, HGB or the lease deed)? Is it in the seller's name?
- What zone is the land in (for example yellow or pink), and does it allow a villa or renting it out?
- Are the land and building taxes (PBB) paid? Any debts, disputes or family claims on the land?
- Who pays the notary fees and the transfer taxes?
Ask these in writing and keep the answers. An independent notary can check the title for you.
