Expat Living in Mataram, Lombok

Expatriates in Lombok are living here for a number of reasons and may be involved in hotels, agriculture, pearling, education, restaurants, travel, surfing, diving, mining, arts and crafts businesses, etc. Many other expats retire here and enjoy the slower pace Lombok offers or base their families here and work off island.

Australian, British, New Zealand, German, Belgian, Korean, Dutch, Italian, French, Norwegian and other Europeans, North Americans and others, are well represented in the expat community and meet socially for a variety of activities. Newcomers have always been warmly welcomed.

Close to the beach and surrounded by green fields, the Sekolah Nusa Alam is the school on the island which services the expat community. It is situated in the Montong area and is only a short drive from the city centers of Ampenan, Mataram and Cakranegara to the south and Senggigi (the main tourist area) and the Gili Islands to the north.
