Ileboli – small settlement on Lembata Island, East Nusa Tenggara Province
Ileboli is an Indonesian village belonging to Kecamatan Naga Wutung district, within the administrative unit of Kabupaten Lembata, in Nusa Tenggara Timur (East Nusa Tenggara) Province. Geographically it falls within the Bali and Lesser Sunda Islands macroregion, and by its coordinates is located on Lembata Island. The available source material contains data directly only at the regency level—that is, for Kabupaten Lembata as a whole—therefore in the following, any statement is clearly marked if it refers to the broader administrative unit or the island, rather than exclusively to Ileboli village itself.
General overview
Ileboli is a poorly documented, small-sized settlement whose name does not appear as an independent entry in broad tourist and real estate market registries. It is located within Kecamatan Naga Wutung district, which forms part of Kabupaten Lembata. Lembata itself is an island belonging to the Lesser Sunda Islands group and is recorded as one of the kabupatens of Indonesia's Nusa Tenggara Timur Province. The island and its associated administrative unit are characteristically rural, with relatively low population density in the region. Based on available sources, Kabupaten Lembata itself can be distinguished both as an island (Pulau Lembata) and as an administrative unit (Kabupaten Lembata). Ileboli, by virtue of its location, is likely home to an agricultural or fishing community, as is generally characteristic of rural villages in the Lesser Sunda Islands, though verified, settlement-level data on this is not available.
Real estate and investment
No independent, verifiable real estate market data is available for Ileboli. Looking at the broader context—namely the real estate market of Kabupaten Lembata and Nusa Tenggara Timur Province—it can be said that this region falls among the less developed, less tourism-burdened areas on Indonesia's real estate investment map. Compared to Bali and Lombok's dynamically growing property markets, Lembata Island and its surroundings are far less integrated into international investment demand, which translates into both lower price levels and more limited liquidity and development infrastructure. Foreign nationals cannot acquire direct land ownership under the generally applicable Indonesian land ownership regulatory framework; according to relevant national legislation, foreign individuals typically acquire property usage rights through long-term lease constructions (Hak Sewa) or through Indonesian-owned business entities (PT PMA). This general legal framework applies also to the territory of Ileboli and Kabupaten Lembata.
Safety and security
No independent, verified statistical or other source data is available regarding safety and security in Ileboli, therefore the following observations relate to the broader region, Nusa Tenggara Timur Province. Rural, small-population settlements in the Lesser Sunda Islands are generally characterized by low crime levels, influenced partly by tight community bonds and traditional social structures. Nusa Tenggara Timur Province as a whole belongs among Indonesia's less urbanized regions, where urban crime problems experienced in major cities are present to a lesser degree. However, since settlement-level security statistics are not available, no specific conclusion can be drawn regarding Ileboli village; local conditions can be understood more precisely by travelers through personal inquiry.
Tourist attractions
The available source material does not contain named tourist attractions directly linked to Ileboli village, therefore no specific site can be listed in connection with the settlement. However, Kabupaten Lembata and Lembata Island are known as one of the less explored areas of the Lesser Sunda Islands, where the natural environment characteristic of the island world and local traditions provide the main attractions. The broader region—Nusa Tenggara Timur Province—offers numerous natural and cultural assets supported by sources, and by virtue of Lembata's proximity, the Kelimutu volcano on Flores Island with its three-colored crater lakes may be mentioned, representing one of the most-documented natural attractions in the province. Ileboli itself is located within Naga Wutung district, possibly in the interior or coastal areas of the island, though the precise natural environment cannot be described in greater detail due to the absence of verified sources.
Summary
Ileboli is a small, poorly documented Indonesian settlement on Lembata Island, within Kecamatan Naga Wutung district and Kabupaten Lembata, in Nusa Tenggara Timur Province. The available source material covers only the regency-level general context, therefore independently verified factual data about the village is currently available in limited form. The broader region is rural and not heavily touristed in character, the real estate market is not considered developed in terms of international investment demand, and reliable sources specific to Ileboli regarding public safety and local attractions are not currently known.
