A 3-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Sumba: €295,000
The villa at Eco Beach City costs €295,000 for 150 m² with three bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, and a private infinity pool. An architect and a designer are included, and you can pay at once or in up to 10 instalments of €29,500 at 0% interest. Furniture is not included: it costs an extra €15,000 plus transport.
Below we go through what the price covers, what it does not, and what the honest total looks like once you add furniture, the monthly community fee and the costs that only you can estimate.
What you get for €295,000
The villa is the largest of the three ways into Eco Beach City, a beachfront town on Sumba Island in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, inside a private seafront residence with 2 km of beach.
The published specification:
- 150 m² of living space.
- 3 bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom.
- A private infinity pool.
- Architect and designer included in the price.
- Fully transferable, so it can be passed on or resold later.
On the villa card, as on the other options, Eco Beach City states: "All profit goes to charity."
What it is part of
The villa is not a standalone plot. It sits in a community that already has 24 homes built, a beachfront coworking space with Starlink internet (200+ Mbps reported), and padel and tennis courts. Guests already stay on site. You can walk the town in 3D before you travel in LiveIt.
What is not included
Being clear about this up front saves surprises later:
- Furniture: €15,000, plus the cost of transport to Sumba.
- Flights to Sumba, for you and anyone visiting.
- The community fee of €65 a month, which starts once the home is ready.
- Your own running costs, such as electricity use, pool care, cleaning or staff if you want them, and insurance. Eco Beach City does not publish fixed figures for these, so ask during your call and estimate them for your own use.
How the payment plan works
No bank and no financing company are involved. You pay directly, with 0% interest.
- At once: €295,000.
- In instalments: up to 10 payments of €29,500.
Since there is no interest, both routes add up to the same €295,000. The furniture, if you want it, is paid separately.
The honest total cost
Here is what can be added up from published figures, and what cannot.
Known one-off costs
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Villa (150 m², 3 en-suite bedrooms, private infinity pool, architect and designer) | €295,000 |
| Furniture | €15,000 |
| Transport of furniture | Ask for a quote |
| Known subtotal | €310,000 + transport |
Known recurring costs
- Community fee: €65 a month, which is €780 a year once the home is ready.
Costs you need to estimate yourself
- Flights to Bali and on to Sumba each time you travel.
- Utilities, pool maintenance, cleaning and any staff.
- Insurance for the building and contents.
- Notary and legal review fees on your side, if you hire your own adviser.
- Any taxes that apply to your situation, which depend on your residency and how you hold the villa.
To put all of this in one place, use the free total cost of owning a villa in Bali calculator. It was built around Bali, but the categories are the same in Sumba, and it helps you avoid forgetting a line. For leasehold maths in general, the leasehold cost per year calculator is also useful.
What about rental income?
Owners can live in the villa, rent it out, or resell it on the owners' marketplace. Rental income is never guaranteed, and Eco Beach City does not promise yields or returns. If you run your own numbers, treat rental as uncertain and make sure the villa still works for you if it earns nothing.
How you hold the villa
Foreigners cannot hold freehold (Hak Milik) in Indonesia. At Eco Beach City, buyers hold an 80-year leasehold that is renewable or, for some buyers, equity in a PT PMA company. Documents are signed before an Indonesian notary. Nominee arrangements are void under Article 33 of Law 25/2007, so avoid any structure that relies on a local person holding land for you.
Our article on whether foreigners can own property in Indonesia explains these options, and the checklist before buying property on an Indonesian island lists the documents to ask for.
Who the villa suits
The villa is a good match if you:
- Need space for family or friends, with three bedrooms that each have their own bathroom.
- Want a private pool rather than shared facilities only.
- Like having an architect and designer included instead of hiring them separately.
- Prefer to pay without a bank, in up to 10 instalments at 0%.
If you want a smaller, furnished home at a lower price, the Beach Cabin costs €36,500 with furniture included. If you want to spend weeks a year by the sea without owning anything, community membership is €1,500 and is not property.
Questions worth asking on your call
The 15-minute call after you apply is the right moment to close the gaps that published figures leave open. Useful questions include:
- What will furniture transport to Sumba cost for my villa?
- Which documents will I sign, and which notary will handle them?
- When does the community fee start in my case?
- How do owners usually arrange cleaning and pool care when they are away?
Write the answers down and add them to your own total-cost sheet.
How to get there
Most people reach Sumba via Bali: there are daily flights from Denpasar (DPS) to Tambolaka (TMC), around one hour, with morning departures around 9:00. Sumba also has Waingapu airport (WGP) in the east. See How to get here for the details.
