Indonesia, 12th Nov 2025 — In a major leadership shift, Adrian Campbell, head of the Kinnara Real Estate Platform, has officially resigned from his role in the Marina Bay City development in South Lombok, marking his complete exit from the multi-billion-dollar coastal city project. The move follows the full buyout of Kinnara’s stake by Lux Bali Projects, the development arm of Australian entrepreneur and political commentator Jamie McIntyre, founder of the Australian National Review.

With the acquisition finalized, Lux Bali Projects now holds 100% ownership and strategic authority over Marina Bay City, paving the way for accelerated progress on what is intended to become Indonesia’s first properly planned coastal city.

Leadership Transition and Strategic Refocus

Sources close to the project confirmed that the buyout and subsequent restructuring occurred amicably. Kinnara will now concentrate on its primary expertise in real estate technology, stepping away from direct property development initiatives.

Campbell’s departure represents a broader strategic shift by the leadership — one that places Lux Bali Projects in full command of the vision, delivery, and governance of Marina Bay City. Under McIntyre’s direction, the development is being positioned as a model of sustainable planning, integrating smart infrastructure, environmentally conscious design, and modern lifestyle standards.

Accelerating Indonesia’s First Properly Planned City

Situated on Lombok’s pristine white-sand coastline, Marina Bay City is planned as a Freedom and Wellness City, blending sustainable urban design with tourism, residential living, and business innovation.

Key development initiatives now being fast-tracked include:

• A world-class convention centre to host international summits, conferences, and wellness events.
• A 10,000-seat sports stadium capable of hosting AFL, NRL, soccer, athletics, and community sporting events.
• A sports and recreation precinct, international school, and the upcoming medical and wellness centre, with plans leading toward a future international hospital.

These elements are aimed at boosting Lombok’s tourism economy and positioning the region as a premier international destination.

Building Connectivity and Coastal Luxury

Lux Bali Projects is advancing its plans for a super-yacht marina and a modern ferry terminal, with services linking Bali → Marina Bay City → Kuta Lombok expected to begin by June 2026.

This new transport link will reduce travel time to approximately 90 minutes, making Marina Bay City one of the most accessible luxury coastal destinations in the region.

A Unified Vision for the Future

With full control now consolidated, Lux Bali Projects is moving forward under a unified leadership model to ensure transparency, quality standards, and sustainable long-term growth.

McIntyre noted that the transition enables the city to be delivered “as originally envisioned — a model of freedom, wellness, and innovation for Indonesia’s future.”

Indonesia, 12th Nov 2025 — Following the completion of the buyout of Kinnara, a regional real estate platform, Lux Bali Projects has officially taken full control of the multi-billion-dollar Marina Bay City development in South Lombok — marking the beginning of a bold new chapter for Indonesia’s most ambitious coastal city project.

The acquisition ends Kinnara’s brief involvement in property development. The company has since decided to refocus its operations exclusively on its core strength as a real estate technology and IT platform, leaving behind its short venture into direct property development to concentrate on digital solutions for the real estate industry.

With Lux Bali Projects now fully in charge, Marina Bay City is poised to become the first properly planned city ever built in Indonesia, featuring a unified vision that blends sustainability, wellness, and innovation.

A City with Vision and Purpose

Set along Lombok’s pristine white-sand coastline, Marina Bay City is being designed as a model for intelligent, sustainable, and community-driven urban growth. The new leadership has announced an accelerated rollout of key infrastructure projects that will establish Marina Bay City as one of Southeast Asia’s leading lifestyle, tourism, and investment destinations.

Among the headline projects is a world-class convention centre, designed to attract international conferences, global events, and wellness summits — a move expected to significantly boost Lombok’s tourism profile and diversify its economy beyond traditional resort tourism.

Sports, Education, and Wellness at the Core

Plans for a 10,000-seat multi-purpose stadium are already underway, capable of hosting national and international sporting events, including the potential for annual NRL or AFL exhibition matches, as well as soccer, athletics, and U.S. football.

The city will also feature a sports and wellness precinct, complete with training facilities, community sports fields, and an international school to cater to both local and expatriate families.

In addition, Marina Bay City’s first medical and wellness centre is scheduled to open next year — forming the foundation for a future international hospital, further enhancing the city’s position as a hub for wellness tourism and preventive healthcare.

Connectivity and Coastal Lifestyle

Marina Bay City’s new management team has also confirmed plans for a super-yacht marina and an integrated ferry terminal linking Bali directly to Marina Bay City, with services expected to begin by June next year.

Discussions are currently underway with ferry operators to establish a daily route connecting Bali, Marina Bay City, and Kuta Lombok, before returning via Marina Bay City. The new connection will reduce travel time to just 90 minutes by fast ferry, compared to the current 45-minute drive from Lombok International Airport or a 20-minute flight from Bali.

Indonesia’s New Model for Smart and Sustainable Growth

The unified management under Lux Bali Projects is expected to accelerate development, ensuring all projects meet high environmental, architectural, and community standards.

Marina Bay City aims to become a Freedom and Wellness City — a living example of how modern urban design, tourism, and sustainability can coexist in harmony.

The city’s masterplan includes partnerships with global hospitality and wellness brands, as well as leading international schools and medical groups, to create a vibrant, future-ready community.

About Marina Bay City

Designed around principles of sustainability, wellness, and modern living, the city will include luxury villas, resorts, wellness retreats, a convention centre, a sports stadium, an international school, and a world-class marina.

Cheongji-si, Chungcheongbuk-do, Korea South, 12th Nov 2025 – Korea’s central province of Chungbuk is emerging as the nation’s newest wellness destination, unveiling a series of nature-based healing and recreation programs under the campaign theme “Wellness Begins Where Nature Breathes.”

Just a few hours from Seoul, the region offers a tranquil escape from urban life, a landscape where forests, lakes, and mineral springs merge to create experiences that blend Korean tradition with modern wellness. From forest meditation houses and natural hot springs to colorful healing centers and lakeside resorts, Chungbuk’s initiative aims to attract both domestic and international travelers seeking rejuvenation through nature.

Meditate and Reconnect with Nature at Jwagusan Natural Recreation Forest

Perched at 657 meters above sea level, the Jwagusan Natural Recreation Forest Meditation House in Jeungpyeong offers a sanctuary for those seeking quiet restoration. Guests can join guided programs featuring flower tea ceremonies, warm foot baths, and meditative singing bowl sessions, each designed to harmonize body and mind.

As birdsong ripples through the forest and pine-scented air fills the lungs, every step along the wooded path becomes an act of release. Leisure sports and recreation activities are also available for families, alongside personalized wellness consultations for international guests. The retreat’s core message: to “take a moment to pause and meet your true self”, resonates deeply in an age of constant motion.

Beyond tea, visitors can try dandelion embroidery, threading calm into every stitch, a slow art that embodies mindfulness itself. To better serve international guests, the village is developing a multilingual guidance system with English and Chinese QR-coded materials for lodging, programs, and lunchbox information. A unique “video + QR embroidery kit” will also allow visitors to enjoy the craft independently, transcending language barriers.

Where Modern Wellness Meets Ancient Wisdom

At the very center of Korea, where forest meets lake and ancient springs breathe beneath the soil, Chungbuk offers more than a destination; it offers transformation.

Here, modern wellness merges seamlessly with centuries of Korean tradition, integrating natural therapies, meditation, and Korean medicine into one harmonious experience. From the quiet mountains of Jeungpyeong to the thermal springs of Cheongju, visitors are invited to listen, breathe, move, and heal in perfect rhythm with nature itself.
