Why build from zero
when you can renovate?

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.

The Smart Way

A new villa for a fraction of the price.

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.

Zero Construction Risk

Everything that scares people about
building in Bali? Not our problem.

βœ• No developer risk

No one's going to disappear with your money. The villa already exists. We renovate β€” we don't build from scratch.

βœ• No building permits needed

SLF, IMB, PBG β€” the villa already has them. We're doing renovation work, not new construction. Zero paperwork headaches.

βœ• No zoning issues

Wrong zone? Wrong land certificate? Not our problem. The villa has been standing and operating. The zoning is settled.

βœ• No surprise costs

We give you a clear budget upfront. Our in-house team means no middlemen, no inflated quotes. What we quote is what you pay.

How It Works

From old villa to income property.

01
Find the Villa

Together or on your behalf, we scout older villas. Good location, solid structure, no major defects. We know what to look for.

02
Secure the Lease

We negotiate a long-term lease with the local owner β€” typically 5+ years. Example: 250M IDR for 5 years in a prime area.

03
Renovate

Our team transforms the villa: waterproofing, painting, interiors, pool, closing open spaces. Budget design from wholesale β€” quality without the markup.

04
Start Earning

List on Airbnb/Booking or find a long-term tenant. Extend the lease as you go. Optionally, we manage it for you.

05
Ongoing Management

If you want, Bantu takes over the day-to-day. Management, maintenance, reporting β€” the full package at our standard rates.

FAQ

Common questions.

How long does a renovation take?
Typically 2–3 months depending on scope. A basic refresh (paint, furniture, minor fixes) can be done in 4–6 weeks. Full transformation with pool and structural work takes closer to 3 months.
Do I need to be in Bali during the renovation?
Not at all. We handle everything on-site and send you weekly photo reports with updates. Many of our clients are based in Europe and manage the entire process remotely.
What happens when the lease expires?
You negotiate an extension with the local owner β€” which is usually straightforward if you've been a good tenant. We help with the negotiation to get favorable terms.
Can you manage the villa after renovation?
Absolutely β€” that's what we do best. Short-term at 15% or long-term at 8%. Full service, in-house team, monthly reporting.
