Holiday rentals in Lombok: occupancy, seasons and nightly rates
In South Lombok, a holiday rental is occupied 61% of the year on average, at an average rate of USD 109 per night. These are AirDNA’s figures for the twelve months from September 2025 to September 2026, for the Central Lombok regency, which covers Kuta, Selong Belanak and Mandalika.
Market figures
| Indicator | Value | Period and area |
|---|---|---|
| Average occupancy | 61% | Central Lombok, Sept 2025 – Sept 2026 |
| Average nightly rate | USD 109 | Central Lombok, Sept 2025 – Sept 2026 |
| Average annual revenue per listing | USD 21,400 | Central Lombok, Sept 2025 – Sept 2026 |
| Active listings | 1,555 | Central Lombok, September 2026 |
| Average nightly rate for a villa | USD 189 | Lombok (excluding the Gilis), 2024 |
| Villa occupancy | 59% | Lombok (excluding the Gilis), 2024 |
These averages mix every type of listing, from guesthouse rooms to villas with a pool. A well-located, well-managed villa rents for more than the average; a poorly maintained or poorly presented one, for less.
The seasons
South Lombok runs on the dry season. Revenue per listing peaks in July and August and is lowest in February and November.
| Season | Months | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Peak season | July – August | Driest months (39 mm of rain in August) and European summer holidays: best rates and occupancy |
| Dry season | May – October | Settled weather, surf season; the Mandalika MotoGP (9–11 October 2026) creates a one-off spike |
| Rainy season | November – April | Frequent rain, January is the wettest month (299 mm); February and November are the weakest months |
How to read these figures for your project
Gross revenue is not yield. You need to deduct platform commissions, management fees, cleaning, maintenance, running costs and taxes. That is why we always work in net income, villa by villa.
The market moves fast: depending on the source, the number of listings rose sharply and then adjusted over the past two years. The quality of the property, its location and its management make more difference than ever.
