Government Team tour Teanjah Anjah

Ocean Blue Resorts Indonesia and members of the Lombok Government visited Teanjah Anjah to tour the new village site.

With so much activity now taking place it was an ideal opportunity for everyone involved in the relocation programme to see first hand the great work Team Sunut is doing. CEO, Mr Martin, flew in his team from Singapore and Jakarta for the occasion. Pictured here from left to right are:

Pak Yasin ( Head of Tourism).

‘I am very grateful to Pak Muhasin and Pak Yasin for helping to organise this event. We are close to completing Stage One of our Community Action Plan, so it’s an ideal time for the team to regroup on Gili Sunut to discuss the next phase of our resorts project,’ said Mr Martin. ‘With the village finished and the community moved into to Teanjah Anjah, we will then start building Indonesia’s first six star private island resort,’ he added.

Two weeks is a long time in Lombok!

There has been great progress at Teanjah Anjah. Now buzzing with activity, supplies arriving and builders on site, the 109 houses now start to look like a village.

The red terracotta roofs stretch into the distance, as the exteriors of more homes get completed. Still without windows, we are eagerly waiting for the delivery of doors and windows to weatherproof each house.

But as our photos show, the site now starts to look like a village.

A couple of impatient families have moved in, so we are careful to remind everyone that the site is not finished and they need to be ready to move as we assign the correct house to the right family.

It was great to hear from some of the villagers on Sunut and one family’s story of what it meant to move to Teanjah Anjah.

One young couple have been living with their family since marrying as they are unable to afford their own home.

But now thanks to the construction of the new village, they will be getting their own home and have space to start a family.
