Senggigi Art Market to Become Lombok’s Sydney Harbour

Revitalisation Project Overview

The West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) provincial government has officially announced a major revitalisation project for the iconic Senggigi Art Market. Backed by an IDR 81 billion budget from the Ministry of Public Works, construction is scheduled to begin in 2027.

Governor Lalu Muhamad Iqbal revealed that the ambitious masterplan aims to transform the rundown area into a world-class tourism hub. The redesigned space will feature modern open-air retail concepts inspired by global waterfront destinations, earning it the title of Lombok’s Sydney Harbour.

What to Expect from the New Senggigi Art Market

Modern Open Air Concept: Outdated and worn structures will be replaced with contemporary spaces, blending local Sasak culture with modern open-air shopping malls.
Empowering Local SMEs: The revitalised area will provide upgraded, premium spaces for local artisans, traditional craftsmen, and culinary vendors.
Eco-Friendly Design: Architectural plans incorporate green spaces and lightweight, sustainable materials like bamboo to maintain environmental harmony along the coastline.
