At just 1 acre in size, Looyong South Islet defies conventional island valuation metrics. This is not a land-led proposition; it is a water-led luxury resort opportunity. The islet is encircled by expansive, calm shallows that form a natural lagoon—an ideal foundation for an oversized overwater villa resort where the primary room inventory, amenities, and guest experience sit gracefully above water rather than competing for limited land.

The surrounding protected waters unlock scale without density. Long villa jetties, generous villa spacing, and floating lifestyle assets can be developed efficiently, delivering premium privacy, and uninterrupted views. These low-energy seas support year-round water activities and simplified marine engineering, improving capex efficiency while enabling immersive living for guests.

Adding long-term strategic value, neighbouring islands are zoned for forestry, permanently safeguarding sightlines and acoustic privacy. This zoning creates a natural exclusivity moat that future developments cannot dilute. Looyong South Islet is the archetypal “ugly duckling”: a small land footprint transformed into a high-yield, low-competition luxury destination by leveraging the large, calm waters and surrounding rainforests.
