The Matauki Peninsula: 23.5-Hectare Beachfront & Hilltop Estate
The Opportunity
Claim a landmark coastal footprint with the Matauki Bay Peninsula Estate, a property of unparalleled scale and natural drama. Consequently, you are not simply acquiring land; you are securing an entire natural headland that defines the western curve of Matauki Bay. Specifically designed for institutional developers or legacy estate builders, this 23.5-hectare (235,000 sqm) freehold territory stretches from the primary access road to a pristine, private white-sand shoreline. Furthermore, because the estate encompasses both high-altitude ridges and sea-level frontage, it offers the most versatile development canvas in West Sumba.
Coastal Excellence & Topography
The landscape of Matauki Bay is a masterclass in Sumba’s raw beauty, characterized by its deep turquoise waters and dramatic coral-sand beaches. Furthermore, the property’s unique peninsula shape provides a natural buffer, ensuring absolute privacy for any future development.
-
Dual-Zone Advantage: Utilize the hilltop ridges for panoramic “eagle-nest” suites with 360-degree Indian Ocean views, while dedicating the lower levels to exclusive beachfront beach clubs and villas.
-
Private Shoreline Command: Direct access to a protected white-sand beach, ideal for high-end guest recreation, swimming, and private maritime arrivals.
-
Shovel-Ready Contours: The natural gradients allow for staggered architectural designs that guarantee every single unit maintains an unobstructed ocean view.
Infrastructure & Strategic Connectivity
This Matauki Bay Peninsula Estate stands out because it offers a “frontier” atmosphere with professional-grade accessibility. Specifically, its location in the rapidly evolving Kodi district provides:
-
Airport Connectivity: Situated approximately 2.5 hours from Tambolaka Airport (TMC), allowing for a scenic transition through Sumba’s iconic rice paddies and traditional villages.
-
Logistical Readiness: Road access is already established to the boundary, significantly simplifying the mobilization of construction materials and heavy machinery.
-
Utility Foundations: Electricity networks are located nearby, and the region’s water table allows for reliable well-drilling to support large-scale resort operations.

Why Invest in Matauki Bay?
In contrast to the crowded and overdeveloped markets of Bali, West Sumba offers a “quiet luxury” that is increasingly coveted by global travelers. Because the Kodi region is currently being targeted by boutique eco-resorts and high-net-worth private investors, land values are projected to see significant appreciation as the 2026 infrastructure projects reach completion. Ultimately, this Matauki Bay Peninsula Estate represents a rare first-mover advantage, offering a price point of just EUR 13/sqm for land that would command ten times that value in more mature destinations.
