Indonesia's InJourney Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) has launched integrated travel packages for the 2026 Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia at Mandalika, the state-owned developer announced in Jakarta on 1 September 2026. The Mandalika MotoGP 2026 travel packages bundle race tickets, hotel accommodation, flights, airport hospitality and ground logistics into a single purchase to give domestic and international fans a seamless trip to Lombok.
Details published by ANTARA on 2 September 2026 confirm the structure: four domestic package options have been on sale since 5 August 2026, starting at around Rp5 million per person (about US$282), while international options include a four-day, three-night itinerary with hotel, daily breakfast, Regular Grandstand ticket, airport transfers and handling. ITDC Operations Director and chairman of the 2026 race Troy Warokka said MotoGP is not just sport but an economic driver that lifts arrivals, extends length of stay and boosts spending in Mandalika and across Lombok.
What is included in the Mandalika MotoGP 2026 packages?
The bundling concept was built to solve the main pain point for fly-in fans: fragmented booking. Instead of buying a ticket, then hunting for a hotel, then arranging transport from Lombok International Airport, buyers pick a tier and everything is stitched together.
- Race ticket (Regular Grandstand in the published international example) with transport to and from the Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit.
- Hotel accommodation in the Mandalika zone or greater Lombok, with daily breakfast on the 4D3N international option.
- Flights and airport hospitality, plus luggage and crowd-management logistics for race days.
- Ground logistics between airport, hotel and circuit, coordinated for peak egress after the race.
The domestic tiers vary by hotel class and grandstand location, but the entry point remains Rp5 million per person. International tiers price higher due to longer stays and higher room categories, yet the bundled rate undercuts buying each element separately during an event week.
When and where is the 2026 race?
The Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia runs inside the Mandalika Special Economic Zone in Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. The 4.301 km, 17-turn circuit sits on Lombok's south coast and opened on 12 November 2021 to bring MotoGP back to Indonesia after the Sentul rounds of 1996-1997. While the 2026 calendar date will be confirmed by Dorna, ITDC's package launch signals that sales and hotel contracting are already underway more than a year out.
That matters because Lombok's capacity is still tight relative to Bali. In July 2026, Bali hotel occupancy topped Indonesia at 67.29%, and demand spillover into Lombok rises during major events. Integrated flight-plus-hotel bundles help guarantee rooms and transfers that would otherwise sell out in fragmented channels.
Why does ITDC bundle MotoGP as an integrated tourism product?
Warokka framed the race as a demand generator for the whole island. Bundles keep visitors longer and push spend beyond the gate into hotels, restaurants and tours. They also simplify arrivals for first-time visitors who may not know Lombok's geography. For the destination, the effect is similar to what Indonesia targeting 6,600 potential tourists at ITB India 2026 aims to do for the India market — convert event interest into multi-night stays.
There is also an infrastructure story. The island's connectivity has improved, but ground transport from airport to the south coast still needs coordination on race weekends. The recent Bali airport to Canggu battery tram plan shows the wider push for airport-to-resort links in the region; Mandalika's solution for now is managed shuttles within the package rather than fixed rail.
How do 2026 packages compare to previous Mandalika editions?
| Feature | 2026 integrated packages | Earlier fragmented booking |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price (domestic) | Rp5 million (~US$282) pp | Ticket only, hotel and flight separate and often surged |
| International option | 4D3N with hotel, breakfast, Grandstand, transfers | Self-assembled, risk of mismatched dates |
| Logistics | Airport hospitality + circuit shuttles included | On-arrival taxis, ad-hoc arrangements |
| Availability | On sale since 5 August 2026 | Late hotel release, price spikes closer to race |
For travellers weighing Lombok against other event destinations, packages also simplify visa and payment steps. Visitors can reference our Indonesia visa guide for Indian travellers 2026 and cost comparisons such as is Bali expensive for Indian tourists in 2026 when budgeting.
What should fans book next?
- Lock the package first, then add leave and onward travel — hotel inventory in the Mandalika zone is limited.
- Check Grandstand versus hospitality tiers if you want covered seating and catering for Lombok's heat.
- Arrive a day early to clear airport queues and enjoy southern Lombok beaches before the crowds.
- Keep the confirmation with you for shuttle boarding; race-day roads around the circuit are controlled.
