Find an older villa, lease it from a local owner, renovate at low cost β and start earning. No developer risk, no building permits, no zoning headaches.
Building a villa from scratch in Bali means navigating developers, permits (SLF, IMB), zoning laws, and contractors who might disappear with your money. We offer a different path.
Together with you β or on your behalf β we find an older villa from a local owner. Good location, solid structure, cheap lease. Then we transform it into a modern, rentable property at a fraction of what a new build would cost.
The result? You have a "new" villa with zero construction risk. The permits exist. The zoning is settled. You skip the entire nightmare of building from scratch.
What we typically do:
Fix humidity and waterproofing issues. Repaint the roof. Close open living spaces (guests want air-conditioned rooms). Budget-friendly interior design using wholesale suppliers. Build an affordable pool if needed. Upgrade bathrooms and kitchen.
Everything is done by our in-house team β no outsourced contractors, no middlemen markups. We've done this 15+ times. We know what works.
No one's going to disappear with your money. The villa already exists. We renovate β we don't build from scratch.
SLF, IMB, PBG β the villa already has them. We're doing renovation work, not new construction. Zero paperwork headaches.
Wrong zone? Wrong land certificate? Not our problem. The villa has been standing and operating. The zoning is settled.
We give you a clear budget upfront. Our in-house team means no middlemen, no inflated quotes. What we quote is what you pay.
Together or on your behalf, we scout older villas. Good location, solid structure, no major defects. We know what to look for.
We negotiate a long-term lease with the local owner β typically 5+ years. Example: 250M IDR for 5 years in a prime area.
Our team transforms the villa: waterproofing, painting, interiors, pool, closing open spaces. Budget design from wholesale β quality without the markup.
List on Airbnb/Booking or find a long-term tenant. Extend the lease as you go. Optionally, we manage it for you.
If you want, Bantu takes over the day-to-day. Management, maintenance, reporting β the full package at our standard rates.
Depending on scope β from basic refresh to full transformation. We'll give you an exact quote after the initial villa assessment.
Varies by location and property size. We negotiate directly with local owners to get the best possible terms.
Let's talk. We'll walk you through the whole process.
