How To Reach Our Concierge

To maintain discretion and ensure every enquiry is directed to the appropriate specialist, we prioritise initial contact through email or secure messaging. This allows us to review the preliminary details of your request, whether for a multi-generational family rental or a complex acquisition portfolio, and assign the best-suited senior advisor from the outset.

For detailed briefs, including investment criteria, specific dates, or comprehensive itineraries, email is the preferred medium. For more immediate yet simple enquiries, such as preliminary availability, our WhatsApp channel is monitored by our client relations team. Following an initial exchange, a private, scheduled call can be arranged at your convenience. Ministry of Tourism

Response Time & Process

We acknowledge all incoming enquiries within four business hours. A detailed, considered response from a senior team member will follow within 24 business hours. Our commitment is not to speed, but to substance; we take the time to properly assess your requirements before replying.

Our internal process involves a careful review of your brief, followed by allocation to a regional specialist. An advisor with deep, first-hand experience in the Anambas, for example, will handle a nautical enquiry for that area, while a Mentawai specialist will manage a surf-focused island request. This ensures the intelligence you receive is both accurate and genuinely insightful.

Languages We Operate In

English is the primary language for all international client communication, legal documentation, and contractual matters. Our team is composed of native and fluent English speakers with extensive experience in the global luxury market.

Our entire on-the-ground operational team in Indonesia is fluent in Bahasa Indonesia. This is critical for effective local negotiations, logistical management, and navigating the nuances of regional administration, providing a seamless bridge between international expectations and local execution.

Office Hours & Time Zones

Our core administrative office operates from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Central Indonesia Time (WITA, UTC+8), Monday through Friday. This time zone positions us effectively to liaise with partners across the archipelago, from Sumatra to West Papua.

We understand our clientele is global. Our client-facing advisors work across multiple time zones, and communications are monitored outside of standard hours to service clients based in Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. We ensure that your timeline, not ours, dictates the pace of our conversation.

Visiting Indonesia (national: Mentawai / Anambas / Spice Islands / Komodo) — Logistics

Accessing your chosen private island Indonesia is an integral part of the experience. International arrivals typically route through Jakarta (CGK) or Bali (DPS), where we can arrange VIP customs clearance and seamless transfers. From these hubs, the final leg of the journey is a precisely choreographed sequence of travel.

This may involve a private jet to a regional airport like Labuan Bajo (LBJ) for Komodo, a chartered seaplane to the Anambas, or a private expedition yacht awaiting your arrival in Ambon (AMQ) to cruise the Spice Islands. For the Mentawai, a luxury fast boat from Padang is the classic approach. We manage every detail, ensuring your transit is as flawless as your stay.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you ensure client privacy and discretion?

Discretion is paramount. We operate with strict non-disclosure protocols and use secure communication channels. Our team is trained to handle sensitive information for UHNW individuals and family offices. We never publicly disclose client names or details of their stays, and all on-island staff are bound by confidentiality agreements. Your privacy is structurally integrated into our entire operational framework.

How are islands vetted for your portfolio?

Our vetting process is rigorous and multi-faceted, going far beyond aesthetics. We conduct on-site inspections to assess infrastructure, service standards, and safety protocols. We also perform due diligence on legal titles for acquisition, verify environmental credentials, and ensure the local community dynamic is positive. Only islands that meet our stringent editorial and operational standards are accepted into our portfolio.

What is the difference between freehold and leasehold in Indonesia?

In Indonesia, direct foreign ownership of freehold (Hak Milik) land is restricted. Foreign investors typically use a long-term leasehold (Hak Sewa) structure, often for 25-30 years with extensions, or establish a foreign-owned company (PMA) which can hold certain land titles like the Right to Build (Hak Guna Bangunan). We work with expert legal counsel to advise on the most secure and appropriate structure for your acquisition goals.

What is typically included in a private island rental?

An all-inclusive rental typically covers exclusive use of the island and its facilities, all meals and non-alcoholic beverages, a full complement of staff (manager, chef, housekeeping), and use of standard water sports equipment. Inclusions can be customised; fine wines, specialist guides, spa treatments, and complex transfers like helicopter or seaplane charters are usually arranged at an additional cost.

Can you arrange for private security services?

Yes. We have established relationships with professional, discreet security firms in the region, including personnel with backgrounds in special forces. We can arrange for everything from a single close protection officer to a full security detail for the duration of your stay, integrated seamlessly with the island’s own security team to ensure comprehensive and unobtrusive protection.

What are the logistics for provisioning a remote island?

Our logistics teams are experts in provisioning remote locations. We source high-quality produce, meats, and seafood from trusted suppliers in Bali, Jakarta, and even Singapore or Australia for specific requests. Using a combination of scheduled supply boats and chartered air freight, we ensure that even the most remote island kitchen is fully stocked to meet the demands of a Michelin-level private chef.

What level of staffing can be expected on an island?

Staffing levels are tailored to the island and your preferences but are always comprehensive. A typical configuration includes a General Manager, a private chef and culinary team, butlers or hosts, housekeeping, groundskeepers, and a boat crew. The staff-to-guest ratio is exceptionally high, ensuring service is intuitive, personal, and ever-present yet discreet. Additional staff, such as nannies or wellness practitioners, can be arranged.

Can you accommodate specific dietary or medical requirements?

Absolutely. Prior to your arrival, we gather detailed preference sheets covering all dietary needs, from specific allergies to vegan, kosher, or halal requirements. Our chefs are highly experienced in creating bespoke menus. We also plan for medical contingencies, ensuring first-aid capabilities on-site and clear protocols for emergency evacuation to the nearest reputable medical facility, which we identify in advance.

How do you approach sustainability and eco-luxury?

True luxury is inseparable from sustainability. We prioritise islands that demonstrate a genuine commitment to ecological stewardship. This includes renewable energy sources like solar, advanced water treatment and waste management systems, coral reef protection programmes, and meaningful engagement with local communities. We believe the ultimate privilege is to enjoy these pristine environments while helping to preserve them for the future.

What is the process for viewing an island for potential acquisition?

An inspection visit is a critical step. After initial qualification and discussion, we arrange a private and confidential viewing trip. This is a fully managed itinerary, including all transfers, accommodation, and meetings with relevant parties on the ground. The visit is designed to give you a complete operational and atmospheric sense of the asset, far beyond what a prospectus can offer.
