Meaningful Guests. Lasting Connections.

WHY BLACKGATES HILLTOP?
We’re building something different in Sumbawa, and we’re looking for people who want to help bring it to life.
BlackGates Hilltop will be the premium property on Sumbawa, Indonesia, from the outset. It will be deliberately small: an intimate luxury property surrounded by a working tropical orchard, created for international guests seeking an experience beyond the increasingly familiar Bali destination.
Sumbawa is not Bali.
That is precisely the point.
For the right hospitality professional, this is an opportunity to build something rather than simply join something.
NATURE. PEOPLE. EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCES.
