Ecovillages are also designed using whole systems design principles, to maximize overall quality of life for humans.

Mandala is a modern eco-village located on the southern coast of Lombok Island, a popular tourism destination and a naturally beautiful island that bathes in year-round sunshine and provides a luxury escape from the city.

Lombok Island

Lombok is part of the Lesser Sunda Islands and is in the West Nusa Tenggara province of Indonesia.

It consists of 5 regions including North Lombok, Central Lombok, East Lombok, West Lombok, and Mataram City as a capital of West Nusa Tenggara.

There are a number of smaller islands that surround Lombok known as Gili. The area has a high tropical climate, luscious jungles, exceptional beaches, and endless rice fields.

International Airport

Also known as Zainuddin Abdul Madjid International airport, this airport is the only fully operational airport on the island of Lombok. The airport, initiated by the Government of Indonesia and regional NTB stakeholders, was a huge a milestone for tourism in Lombok and has created a gateway to paradise. The distance from Lombok International Airport to Mandala Eco-Village is only 45 minutes with stunning sights to see on the way.

Kuta Mandalika Beach

Kuta Mandalika Beach is located in Central Lombok and is designated as a special economic zone which stretches over 1,035.67 hectares of the southern coast of the Lombok Island. At only 30 minutes from Mandala Eco-Village, it is situated near other popular spots including Seger Beach, Tanjung Aan Beach, Merese Hill, and the Mandalika International Street Circuit.

Mount Rinjani

Mount Rinjani is the second highest volcano in the whole of Indonesia, standing at 3,726 meters. It is located in the North of Lombok and is currently an active volcano. Surrounding the slopes of Rinjani there are lush forests with stunning waterfalls and amazing views.

Within the volcano, there is a crescent shaped lake, the breathtaking Segara Anak which is about 6 km across at its widest point. This lake of sulfur is located 600 meters below the crater rim. Rising from the waters of this lake is a new volcano, Mt. Baru, which is result of a series of eruptions during the 1990’s. It’s a tough hike but worth it for the rewards.

Gili Islands

The Gili Islands are an archipelago of three small islands: Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air, just off the northwest coast of Lombok, Indonesia. Each island features several minimalist resorts, with a collection of huts for tourists, a small pool, and restaurant.

These islands are popular for their white sandy beaches, tropical coral reefs, and warm inviting waters. Cars and motorized traffic are prohibited on the islands, so people get around by foot, bicycle, or the horse-drawn carriage called a cidomo. A popular activity on these islands is scuba diving and free diving, due to the abundance of marine life and coral formations. The most famous diving spots are Shark point, Manta point and Simon’s reef.

our projects

Hunger Prevention Program

Through the Hunger Prevention Program, we collaborated with the Islamic Relief Indonesia (IRI) Foundation to help children affected by COVID-19 by giving them Rp. 1.200.000,- to buy basic needs, which has been running since December 2021 and is ongoing. The project successfully received full support and the main goals and objectives were achieved.

Organic waste
conversion system

A breakthrough in the world of waste and agriculture by BSF (Black Souldier Fly) Lombok, in collaboration with Organiika by Invest Islands Foundation and the Mandala Foundation. We carried out a field assessment to create a regenerative agriculture learning center program that was integrated with organic waste.

The goal is for this center to be used as a learning hub for handling agricultural waste, which can be further developed into organic fertilizer or animal feed with high nutritional value. Also in the future, this place will become a learning center for regenerative agriculture without the need to use excess chemical fertilizers. Our target is to empower and motivate the local community in the buffer area of ​​Kuta, Mandalika, Lombok.
