What is Marlaca

A boutique developer that builds, sells and operates its own villas on Lombok's south coast.

We find the land, design the villa and supervise construction every day. Once we hand you the keys, we rent it out and look after it for you. All from our office in Kuta.

    We operate it all year round and pay you the net result.

  • 03

    You reserve the dates you want to use, and the villa is rented out the rest of the year.
