Claim #1 for$0

$1 = 1 square foot, yours for 75 years. Nobody can take what you claim. Rank only decides who picks first. Real land in Sumba, Indonesia, facing Komodo National Park across the water.

What you get, and when

  • Your claim, confirmed the same day. When the payment clears we email you a written record of your square feet and your position. Nothing you claim is ever reopened by a later claim.
  • Claim again and it adds up. Use the same email and the square feet are added to the same total. Your position moves with them.
  • The leasehold is signed when the board closes. Plots are allocated in order, and PT Eco Beach City then issues your 75 year leasehold with the plot number and coordinates written into it. It is the same contract for everybody, and you can read it in full before you pay.
Build unlocks

Every square foot is yours from day one.
The more you claim, the more you unlock.

From your very first claim the land is assigned to your name for 75 years. Nothing about that changes as you grow. What changes is what you are allowed to put on it.

Level 01
2 sq ft

Your space is assigned

Your square feet are held in your name for 75 years and your name, or your company and its link, goes on the map and on the board. You can visit and you can camp on your land.

From $2
Level 02
3,000 sq ft

Studio Cabin unlocked

About 279 m². A real plot with room for a cabin, setbacks and a garden. You choose a located plot and you may build on it.

Claim $3,000 · cabin from $32,000 VAT included, optional
Level 03
11,000 sq ft

Private Villa unlocked

About 1,022 m². Large enough for a full villa with a pool and a private garden, built to the estate standard.

* What the asterisk means. Building is only unlocked at 3,000 sq ft for a cabin and 11,000 sq ft for a villa. Below those numbers the land is still yours for the full 75 years, you can come whenever you want and you can camp on it, but you cannot put up a building on it. Building is optional and always separate from your claim. Nothing obliges you to build at all.
What you get

It is yours for 75 years.
Here is what you can actually do with it.

Whatever you claim is held in your name from two square feet upwards, and written into a 75 year leasehold with PT Eco Beach City when the board closes. Here are the four things you can do with it, and you choose.

01

Plant your flag on it

A flag made of recycled plastic, with your message, your name or your company logo, standing on your own square feet of a real beach. We plant it, we photograph it, and we send you the picture. The flag is paid separately and the price depends on the size of your plot, because a bigger plot takes a bigger flag. You can bring your own or we can have it made for you, with your logo or your company on it.

02

Sleep on it

Come whenever you want and camp on your land. From two square feet upwards it is yours for 75 years, and nobody needs to give you permission to sit on it.

03

Sell it to whoever you want

Transfer your leasehold to a third party whenever you decide, under the terms of the agreement. We make no promise about what it will be worth. Nobody honest would.

04

Build on it

Studio Cabin from 3,000 sq ft, Private Villa from 11,000 sq ft. Choose your located plot and build. Optional, always.

And come to the events. We are putting together the first ones on the estate now: music on the sand, the padel and tennis courts, and the nights at the beach club when it opens. Claimants hear about them first and walk in on their own land.
The land

Bought, mapped, and already under construction.

This is not a plan on paper or an option on somebody else's ground. Move around the real map, open the zones, look at the photos. Then read the land title before you pay us anything.

For the sceptics, and there should be some

Why nothing here depends on trusting us.

If you have read this far and you are still waiting for the catch, good. Here is every reason we can give you that is a fact rather than a promise.

We own the land.

Not an option on it, not a brokerage agreement, not a letter of intent with a third party who owns it. PT Eco Beach City holds the title, paid in full, and the document is published on this page. We are not selling you access to somebody else's ground.

You have the land from the moment you pay.

There is no waiting list and no delivery date to wait for. Your square feet are assigned to you the second the payment clears, because you took part in the ranking. The contract formalises what you already have, it does not create it later.

The place has been under construction for two years.

This is not a launch. There are people working on the estate today, there is a padel court in use, a coworking, a restaurant terrace and finished houses. You can fly there this month and walk into all of it.

Other holders are already here.

People took land here before you, built their houses and live in or rent them. We are telling you this plainly instead of pretending you would be first. The land in this rush is a defined area, separate from what has already been sold, so nothing you claim takes anything from them and nothing they own takes anything from you.

If you build, you pay the builder, in instalments.

Building is optional and it is never bundled into your claim. When you decide to do it, you pay the construction company directly and in stages, against work done. Every payment you make gets you something standing on the ground.

There is something physical at the end of it.

This is not a leaderboard of website visits, and it is not a slot you rent until somebody outbids you. When the counter moves here, a piece of a real beach changes hands. We think that makes ours the better board, although we would say that.

And if you still have doubts, come and see it. Write to us, fly to Sumba and stay with us on the estate for a few days. Walk the land, talk to the people who live here, and decide afterwards whether you want to be part of this. Nobody should put money into something like this from a screen.

The people

Meet some of the members of our team who are on site.

They live in Sumba, they are on the estate every day, and they are the ones building it. If you fly out there, these are the people who will show you around.

The island

Sumba is the one nobody found yet.

An hour east of Bali by plane, about the same size, with a small fraction of the visitors. Wild horses on empty beaches, megalithic villages still lived in, and a dry savannah coast that looks nothing like the rest of Indonesia.

Sumba, about an hour from Bali

Everyone says they would have bought in Bali before Bali happened. This is that island, and it is one hour away by plane. Empty beaches, wild horses, villages that have been standing for centuries, and a coastline almost nobody has built on. CNN Travel put Sumba first in the world for 2024, the New York Times, National Geographic and Conde Nast Traveler have all written about it in the last two years, and the airport is still small enough that you walk off the plane onto the tarmac. The estate holds roughly two kilometres of that coast, and it is being handed out on this page, in order, right now.

Ranked number one on CNN Travel's list of the best places to go in 2024. Out of 24 destinations worldwide, Sumba was placed first.
1 hour from BaliDirect flights daily. Then about an hour and a half by road to the estate.
Facing KomodoKomodo National Park sits across the water to the north, a normal trip from here.
2 km of coastlineThe estate holds roughly two kilometres of beach on the northern shore.
Still earlySumba receives a tiny share of Indonesia's tourism. That is the whole point of arriving now.

You do not have to take our word for the island.

Who takes your money, who owes you the land

Two companies. We tell you exactly what each one does.

Payments only

Eco Beach City LTD

Processes the payments on this site through Stripe, and nothing else. It is the merchant of record for your card or transfer, and it shows on your statement as RANKING LAND. It does not own the land and it does not sign your contract. Its only job is to receive the money for your claim.

Owner of the land

PT Eco Beach City

The Indonesian company that owns the land, and is its sole owner. Your reservation, your plot and your 75 year leasehold contract are all with PT Eco Beach City. It is the company that signs, and the company you can hold to it. The title is paid in full and published above.

In one sentence. Eco Beach City LTD collects the payment because it is the entity connected to Stripe. PT Eco Beach City owns the land and is the party to your contract. If you want your lawyer to read something before you claim, send them this section and the two documents above.
How it works

Your place is fixed the day you claim. The contract is signed when the board closes.

Paying records your square feet and your position, confirmed to you in writing the same day, and nothing later can reopen it. The leasehold itself is signed at the close, because that is when plots are allocated and a contract can name the one that is yours. The full text is published, blank, before you pay.

01

You claim

One dollar, one square foot, from $2. Your total decides your position. We confirm your square feet and your place in writing the same day, and claiming again with the same email adds to the same total. Nothing you claim is ever lost, whoever passes you.

02

The clock runs

The rush closes on whichever of these happens first: every square foot is claimed, ten days go by with no new claim at all, or 31 December 2026 arrives. Until then the board stays open and you can keep climbing.

03

Plots are assigned

The board freezes. The ten largest claims take a beachfront plot each. Everyone from 3,000 sq ft upwards then chooses a located plot, in rank order.

04

The final contract

Every holder signs a 75 year leasehold with PT Eco Beach City, with the plot number and the coordinates written into it. Every contract is created at this point, and it is the same text for everybody. Read it before you pay →

Questions

Everything people ask before they pay.

What can I actually do with the land?

Four things, and it is yours by leasehold from the moment the contract is signed. Plant a flag on it with your name or your company logo. Sleep on it, camping whenever you like. Sell it to a third party under the terms of the agreement. Or build on it, once you unlock the level.

What do I unlock, and when?

From 2 sq ft your space is assigned to your name for 75 years and you appear on the map and the board with your name or your company link. From 3,000 sq ft you unlock the Studio Cabin, from $32,000. From 11,000 sq ft you unlock the Private Villa, from $340,000. Both prices include VAT.

Below 3,000 sq ft the land is still yours and you can camp on it, you simply cannot put up a building. Building is optional and paid separately, only if you decide to build.

How does this become legally mine?

In two stages, and we keep them clearly apart. First you claim in the ranking. That fixes your square feet and your position. Then, when the ranking closes, we formalise a 75 year leasehold by individual contract with our Indonesian company, with your plot number and coordinates written into it.

Indonesia does not allow foreigners to hold freehold title. Nobody can offer you freehold there, ourselves included, and we will never use the word ownership to describe what you get.

How do I know this is not a scam?

Come and see it before you claim anything. Write to us, fly to Sumba, and you can stay with us on the estate and walk the land yourself. Nobody should trust a website with this. We own the land and the title is published on this page. The estate has been under construction for two years, so you can fly to Sumba this month and walk into the padel court, the coworking and the finished houses. And other holders took land here before you and already built, so there are people on site who have nothing to do with this page and can tell you what they think.

What you should not do is take a promise from anybody, us included. Read the documents, open the live map, watch the aerial pass, and come and stay with us before you claim.

How long do I wait to get my land?

You do not wait. Your square feet are assigned to you the moment the payment clears, because you took part in the ranking. There is no delivery date and no queue.

What you get the same day is a written record of your square feet and your position, and nothing later can reopen it. The leasehold itself is signed once the board closes, because that is the moment plots are allocated in order and a contract can name the plot that is yours. Every contract is created then, and it is the same text for everybody. We publish it, blank, so you can read it before you pay.

Who do I pay for the construction?

The construction company, directly, and in instalments against work done. It never goes into your claim and we never take it as a lump sum up front. That is deliberate: it means every payment you make has something standing on the ground behind it.

And building is optional at every level. You can hold your square feet for 75 years and never build anything.

There are already other holders. Does that affect me?

No, and we would rather say it out loud than have you find out later. People took land here before you, built their houses, and live in or rent them.

The land in this rush is a defined area, separate from what has already been sold. Nothing you claim comes out of what somebody else owns, and nothing they own comes out of what is on this board.

Can somebody take what I have claimed?

No. Nothing you claim goes back into the pool and no higher ranked claim can displace you. A higher rank lets you pick earlier from what is still free. It never moves somebody who is already placed.

When does the rush end?

It closes on whichever of these three comes first: every square foot is claimed (18,000,000 of them), ten days pass without a single new claim, or the calendar reaches 31 December 2026. Any new claim restarts the ten days. Once it closes the ranking is frozen for good, and plots are picked in that order. Eco Beach City keeps the right to sell other land in other areas of the estate or elsewhere, but never through this ranking and never taking a plot away from anyone already on the board.

How do I get there?

Fly to Bali, then roughly one hour on to Sumba. From the airport it is about one hour thirty by road to the estate. We are also working on direct flights to Singapore and Australia, which are only about two hours away. Komodo National Park is across the water to the north and is a normal trip from here.

You are welcome to come and see it. We would rather you did, and we will film you standing on the ground you claimed.

What is actually built today?

The land is bought, roads are going in, and there are people working on site. Most of the estate is still open ground. We are not going to dress that up. Open the live map above, watch the aerial pass, and come and see it in person if you want to be sure.

Are there ongoing costs?

Not until you build. If you simply hold your square feet there is no annual fee, no service charge and nothing to pay. Ever.

If you decide to build a house on your land, from that point there is a community fee of $95 a month. It covers the upkeep and your access to the shared facilities: padel, tennis, football, basketball, the beach club, the coworking, and estate security.

And if you want us to rent your house out, we handle it and keep 25% of the net rental income. Renting on the estate is done through us. This is a service, not a return: we make no forecast, no guarantee and no promise about what your house will or will not earn.

Is the house furnished?

No, furniture is not included and it is optional. Our furniture packages start at $5,000, plus shipping and installation.

You are free to furnish it yourself if you prefer. There is a short list of minimum conditions to keep the estate consistent and safe, and in that case installation is still done by our team, for safety reasons and because of how the houses are built.

How do I pay?

By card for small amounts and by bank transfer for large ones. Minimum claim is $2. There is no wallet and no stored balance, so there is nothing sitting in an account for you to chase later. You pay for the square feet you claim, at the moment you claim them.

Who are you?

Eco Beach City. We bought this site in Sumba, we hold it through our Indonesian company, and we are building on it. The title and the company registration are linked above, and you should read all of it before you pay us anything. If you want to talk to a person, that is @mrstartups.
