Mirah Investment & Development Achieves Key Milestone with the Soft Launch of Kuara Resort in Southern Lombok.
LOMBOK, INDONESIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 June 2025 – Mirah Investment & Development is proud to announce the soft launch of Kuara Resort , a boutique beachfront retreat on the southern coast of Lombok, Indonesia.
With just 16 thoughtfully designed villas, Kuara offers an intimate, slow-paced escape rooted in the natural beauty, cultural heritage, and warm hospitality of the Southern Lombok region. The launch marks a significant milestone in Mirah's ongoing long-term strategic expansion.
As the third full-scale resort delivered within an 18-month span, Kuara represents yet another successful chapter in Mirah's commitment to building a diverse, high-performing portfolio across Indonesia's most promising destinations.

Following the success of Secana Beachtown in Berawa and Cocana Resort on Gili Trawangan — which recently earned a Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice Award placing it within the top 10% of hotels worldwide — the addition of Kuara further cements the company's position as a leader in luxury real estate and hospitality development.
'Kuara is a special project for us. It brings together our passion for meaningful hospitality and our ability to identify emerging destinations with exceptional potential,' said Scott Matson, Chief Operating Officer at Mirah Investment & Development. 'The soft launch marks more than the opening of a resort — it represents a key moment in our company's evolution and our growing footprint across Indonesia.'
Kuara's one- to three-bedroom villas offer modern amenities and refined comfort while preserving an authentic sense of place. Designed by award-winning designer Alexia Dubus, the villas draw inspiration from traditional craftsmanship and local materials, creating spaces that feel both elevated and grounded. Select villas feature direct beachfront access, private swimming pools, or open-air fire pits.
Mirah Investment & Development's expanding portfolio now includes luxury serviced residences, villa estates, hotels, resorts, restaurants, gym clubs, and beach clubs — each designed to meet the evolving expectations of modern travellers and investors alike. The soft launch of Kuara signals continued confidence in Indonesia's tourism growth and in Mirah's ability to deliver high-performing assets.
'It's an exciting time for our team and partners as we continue scaling across the region,' added Scott Matson. 'With upcoming projects in Uluwatu, Bingin [Amali Luxury Residence & SOMOSHOTELS] and our landmark partnership with FINNS Bali, one of Indonesia's most iconic lifestyle brands [FINNS Bali Resort], we're building not just resorts, but a future-facing ecosystem of world-class destinations.'
Kuara is the latest resort from Mirah Investment & Development, whose previous project—Cocana Resort in Gili Trawangan—earned a Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Award and placed in the top 10% of hotels worldwide. With such recognition setting the standard, expectations are high for Kuara, which brings Mirah's signature blend of refined design, immersive experiences, and elevated hospitality to one of Lombok's most pristine coastal locations.
The launch of Kuara underscores Mirah's consistent commitment to innovation, excellence, and long-term value creation.

African Development Bank awards $1 million grant to support green skills development for South Africans, with focus on youth
The African Development Bank ( through the Fund for African Private Sector Assistance (FAPA), has awarded a $1 million grant to South Africa's National Business Initiative (NBI) to strengthen efforts to build a dynamic, demand-led skills ecosystem that enables South Africans, particularly young people, to access emerging job opportunities in the green economy. South Africa continues to face significant challenges in youth employment, with StatisticsSA ( reporting that 46.1% of young people aged 15 to 34 were unemployed in the first quarter of 2025. The funding will support the country's Just Energy Transition Skilling for Employment Programme (JET SEP), led by the National Business Initiative in partnership with the management consultancy Boston Consulting Group. The initiative coordinates private sector efforts to prepare the workforce for the energy transition, in tandem with the government's JET Skilling Implementation Plan, focused on inclusive workforce development and sustainable job creation. Specifically, the grant will finance the programme's first phase, including feasibility studies for the design of skills development zones and capacity building within the public technical and vocational education and training system. Skills development zones will anchor the delivery of inclusive skills and foster local economic growth during the country's just-energy transition. Launched in 2024 and endorsed by the JET Project Management Unit under the presidency of the Government of South Africa, JET SEP has garnered support from over 30 influential South African CEOs, public sector leaders, and civil society leaders in the past year. Of the grant, Kennedy Mbekeani, African Development Bank Director General for Southern Africa, said: "By linking a strong private sector coalition – the engine for job creation – with government, academia, and NGOs, the FAPA grant will play a catalytic role to support informed policy decisions in skills development and labour market programmes. It will also strengthen skills development efforts for the growth of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and the creation of jobs for youth in South Africa's green economy." The grant builds on the African Development Bank's significant investment in South Africa's energy sector. Since 2007, the Bank has invested $3.4 billion to support energy infrastructure, including renewable energy. The current grant will support the government's efforts to identify the skills needed for the sector, with a particular focus on renewable energy. Shameela Soobramoney, CEO of the National Business Initiative, said: 'This grant from the African Development Bank is a critical step toward turning vision into action, strengthening the national skills system, and ensuring that all South Africans are equipped to seize new opportunities in the green economy. We are proud to continue working alongside our partners and stakeholders to build an inclusive future-ready workforce and to stimulate local economies in a way that leaves no one behind.'

South Africa: Communications Committee Puts Conditions to the Approval of Government Communications and Information Systems (GCIS) Budget
The Portfolio Committee on Communications and Digital Technologies has put conditions on the adoption of its budget vote report on the Government Communications and Information Systems (GCIS). The committee's conditions have been forwarded to the Standing Committee on Appropriations in terms of section 10(5) of the Money Bills Amendment Procedure and Related Matters Act 9 of 2009. This decision was taken on the basis that the committee felt that the 2025-2030 strategic and 2025/26 annual performance plans of the GCIS as well as the Media Development and Diversity Agency (MDDA) lacked clarity and measurable targets. The committee also believes that the GCIS' five-year strategic plan is misaligned to the government's Medium-Term Development Priorities. The strategy refers to the need to move to evidence-based communication without outlining what impact it will have on the country's drive for inclusive economic growth and job creation, and how such will be measured. The committee stands against a spray-and-pray approach to development communication which has no attendant measurable targets and cogent monitoring and evaluation framework. As part of its conditions to the Minister in the Presidency, the committee wants GCIS to, among others, come up with a policy or legislative instrument that is going to ensure alignment, coherence and results-based measurement framework within government communication system. The Chairperson of the committee, Ms Khusela Sangoni Diko, said: 'The committee is recommending approval of this budget with a proviso that within the course of twelve months there is legislative reform to ensure that there is a policy instrument that guides government communications.' Ms Diko further said that GCIS needs to fast-track reform on the laws that govern MDDA, Brand South Africa and government media spent. The committee also wants GCIS to provide quarterly performance reports on the implementation of the government communication policy framework. These conditions extend to GCIS' entity, the MDDA, which must provide clarity on how the it is going to be moving community radio stations to self-transmission. The committee also called on MDDA to provide a fundraising strategy with clear measurable targets. The GCIS budget will be debated under vote 4 on Friday, 4 July 2025, in a mini plenary of the National Assembly at the Good Hope Chamber from 13:00 to 15:00 Distributed by APO Group on behalf of Republic of South Africa: The Parliament.
