Here at Bali Coconut Living, many of our villas are beautiful retreats in the Bali countryside with gorgeous tropical gardens and stunning bedrooms overlooking ricefields and with an unimpeded view of the Bali horizon.   But today we’d like to tell you a little bit about Villa Mirabella, which is a little bit different.   A medium-sized villa built in the heart of thriving Seminyak, this one-of-a-kind holiday home is nestled on 209 sqm of lush green land. A longtime member of the upmarket Seminyak neighborhood, Villa Mirabella shares a private entrance with other villas that are within the same compound.   A stunning 3-bedroom villa, it is now available for sale at a fantastic price of IDR 3.900.000.000 (as of January 2021). It is available for permanent ownership with a freehold title, which brings great value both in terms of financial security and returns.   The villa has several impressive features that you will find interesting:   A pool in a private corner   Villa Mirabella comes with a small, yet inviting swimming pool, with great potential to be turned into a large-size jacuzzi, perfect for those who love to soak in warm water under the magnificent Bali sky.   A twin-bed room   Villa Mirabella was designed for weekly and monthly rentals. However, once the villa is yours, and you’ve moved in with your family, this room will be ideal for young children. Otherwise, the twin beds can be replaced with a queen-size bed to accommodate an older child or even guests!   Great location in the center of Seminyak   Jalan Petitenget is one of the most famous roads leading towards Seminyak. It is home to plenty of exciting cafes, bars, shopping, spas, and restaurants. If you’re looking to live in the thriving heart of this extremely popular area, then you’re in luck. Located within a private Gang (alley) just off this lively road, you can simply walk to some of the best restaurants, bars, and cafes in both Seminyak and Petitenget. Walking a little further to the west gets you to Petitenget’s ancient megastructure, the Masceti Temple, and also Petitenget Beach.   Interested in Villa Mirabella? We can show you around.

Ever been inside an art museum? Have you ever wished that your living space brings you the same feelings as that in your favorite art museum?   Villa Javelin may be the villa that could offer you a place where you can not only live and work but also feel inspired by the many Balinese paintings and ornaments that adorn almost every corner of the villa.   Villa Javelin, the freehold villa unlike any other   The previous owner of the house has collected these artworks for years, traveling through different Balinese Art Markets, and even in places, you may not have heard of. The revered masterpieces are proudly displayed within the house, enhanced and complemented by the spectacular interior design.   You will not find a jumbled collection of paintings and crafts, but a well-curated placement of artworks that tell a story as you walk through the hallways and traverse from one room to the other.   The name of the villa — Villa Javelin — was simply the name registered in our listing. The story behind it is probably something of a mystery. Art enthusiasts may think differently from us ordinary folks.   The essentialist’s home   The exterior design is simple, straightforward, even minimalistic. But the interior is far from minimalistic, with an essentialistic approach employed by the designer. You could agree that there is a story behind every piece of furniture and decoration. These are what make the Villa Javelin the villa that it is today — inspiring, artistic, modern; remaining true to its essence.   This is a home for a family; with three spacious bedrooms, it is nestled in a quiet and peaceful area of Tumbak Bayuh. A rare gem, this property lies on a generous 385 square meters of land. The swimming pool lines up along the side of the building, with plenty of shade from the frangipani trees that surround it.   Visit Villa Javelin, an inspiring freehold villa in Canggu. Call us at +62-361-847-6727 and we’ll give you a tour.

Seminyak is a town that enjoys an exquisite reputation, having received thousands of upmarket visitors every year for decades. It’s also a zone of fierce competition among fine establishments, such as 5-star hotels, luxury villas and apartments, beachfront restaurants and clubs, and world-renowned local brand shops.   This, of course, has driven land prices to a record high and anyone wishing to invest in a holiday rental to make a steady income stream off this tourism destination will have to be prepared to pay in cash.   How much does it cost to own a luxury villa in Seminyak?   Let us start with a few benchmarks on what a luxury villa in Seminyak would look like. A basic feature of a luxurious home is that there is a private swimming pool and also plenty of room around the margins between your building and the neighbors’. There should be enough space for a patch of garden or a tree to grow.   Based on the above descriptions of a Seminyak luxury villa, we’ve sampled seven different villas and their freehold prices below: Villa Name: Villa Tanya Land Size: 150 m2 Number of Bedrooms:  1 Freehold Price: IDR 3,800,000,000 Villa Name: Villa Puriti Land Size: 200 m2 Number of Bedrooms: 2 Freehold Price: IDR 4,600,000,000 Villa Name:Villa Kifa Land Size: 200 m2 Number of Bedrooms: 2 Freehold Price: IDR 4,725,000,000 Villa Name: Villa Romeo Land Size: 300 m2 Number of Bedrooms: 4 Freehold Price: IDR 6,300,000,000 Villa Name: Villa Valencia Land Size: 190 m2 Number of Bedrooms: 3 Freehold Price: IDR 6,900,000,000 Villa Name: Villa Rofa Land Size: 620 m2 Number of Bedrooms: 8 Freehold Price: IDR 13,000,000,000 Villa Name: Villa Boston Land Size: 850 m2 Number of Bedrooms: 8 Freehold Price:IDR 20,000,000,000   The price of each square meter for each property varies between IDR 20 million to IDR 25 million, with the highest being IDR 36 million per square meter. It is important to note that this number is just an estimate, and may not reflect the value or price of any specific property in Seminyak.   There are also other factors at play that contribute to the price of each property. For example, Villa Valencia is located at the beachfront, and guests are able to simply walk to the beach. The interior of Villa Tanya uses some of the best decorative materials and advanced lighting techniques have been implemented here by the architect.   If you want to make comparisons between more properties, simply head over to the homepage of Bali Coconut Living and use the Find Property filter.

Apartments in Bali don’t typically look like the high-rise apartments in large metropolitan areas. For one, a Bali apartment consists of at least two building units, back-to-back, that are typically two stories tall. The buildings share a small private driveway and walkway, and the more luxurious of the apartments have a shared swimming pool and cleaning services.   In this article, we feature Leo Apartment, a luxury apartment in Kerobokan, North Kuta, that offers you a 4-star hotel experience for one whole month at a fraction of the price. Of course, you can extend your stay as this apartment is also suitable for long-term stays. It’s a perfect option for longer-term stays or frequent visitors, but without the commitment to own a villa in Bali.   Perfect location   If you are staying long term, you shouldn’t choose a property that is directly near the beach, unless you absolutely love seeing the beach every single day of your stay in Bali. Kuta and Seminyak beaches, while beautiful in many respects, are high-traffic tourist zones, meaning getting in and out of your residential area will be more challenging due to traffic the closer you are to the beach.   Leo Apartment is located around 10-20 minutes from the buzzing seaside destinations, and its location offers you a chance to explore other parts of Bali that are equally beautiful but less traveled, such as Tabanan, Karangasem, and Bedugul.   Added value at every detail   The management at Leo Apartment has dedicated long hours to preparing the best experiences possible for its residents. From the chosen furnishings to the cleaning and maintenance service that are fully responsible for keeping the apartment rooms and surroundings in tip-top shape.   Choosing an apartment in Bali for long-term rental may pay off in the long run. You don’t have to buy any furniture, appliances or kitchen utensils in order to live a comfortable and normal lifestyle. You also don’t have to spend hours maintaining every facet of your property. Finally, you are also not tied to one single location, giving you ultimate freedom.   Should you have any questions, our friendly representatives here at Bali Coconut Living can help you out.

Locations may not be the only thing that makes a Balli villa profitable, but it has an effect on your market and the occupancy rate. Here are some great locations! Location may not be the only thing that makes a Balli villa profitable, but it has an effect on 1) the type of market and 2) the potential occupancy rate.   This is based on the fact that different locations offer varying degrees of destination attractiveness. The more attractive a destination, the higher the ‘traffic’ and therefore, the greater your potential occupancy rate. However, the type of market will also determine the style, pricing, and initial investment of your villa. Here are some great locations to have a Bali villa business.   1. Seminyak   The chic queen of south Bali tourism, Seminyak’s visitors are often wealthy and prefer a glamorous holiday rental with the necessary luxuries. The Seminyak area is also very close to the airport, making it a prime destination. Given its accessibility and attractiveness, buyers should expect a higher capital initial investment. However, given the funds and the creative will to help your guests impress their friends, your establishment could be in a prime location.   2. Canggu   Slightly less tourism and generally enjoyed by younger tourists, Canggu is the go-to place for surfing and affordable villas for digital nomads. A hostel or app-based daily rental can help you bring in quick revenue, but the real prize lies in the steadily increasing land price as Canggu will become highly developed in 10 to 20 year’s time, especially given the fact that there are construction plans for a highway across Southwest Bali.   3. Sanur   Although Sanur’s land price is steadily increasing, it remains to be the prime quiet suburban neighborhood of the sunrise-facing shorelines. The beach area is increasingly occupied by hotels and villas, but across the Bypass, affordable accommodation and long-term rentals are sought-after prizes. This is where you could consider building homes for long-term visitors, families, or retirees.   4. Nusa Dua   An increasingly popular place with a rare combination of wealthy tourists and affordable prices. Nusa Dua is rapidly increasing in value, and any investor who is willing to catch up with the price climb is in for a great ride. Many options will be open for you if you want to explore opportunities in Nusa Dua.   Pick your safe haven at Bali Coconut Living   Bali Coconut Living is a property agent, management, and consultant. Our family business is professional yet human, as we do not hesitate to use our empathy to help our clients every step of the way — from being an absolute beginner of property investment to being a successful owner of a villa.   Have a look at some of the best Bali villas for sale on our site.

Excited to browse our range of properties to choose from? Here are some useful tips to know before you choose your favorite villa. Bali yearly rentals offer a lot of value for those who come to Bali to work, play, and rest. After all, the island is a bustling marketplace for remote-working creative professionals, and it is a great idea to make one of the many beautiful and affordable villas your home — a temporary home it seems, but a home nevertheless.   Excited to browse our range of properties? Here are some useful tips to know before you choose your favorite villa.   1. Bali yearly rental access is sometimes better than distance   It is true that location is the most important factor, but how do you determine which location is right for you? Do you first consider the distance to the beach, or a favorite hotspot, or to your favorite Bali destination? You may not want to live in a remote location away from the excitement, but you also do not want to live where you play — the novelty and excitement of your favorite place is diminished once you are accustomed to it.   Therefore, pick a location where it is easy to access not just your favorite places, but also the rest of Bali. This makes it easy to pursue a change of pace at a whim.   2. Consider each villa’s facilities and surroundings   As you will live in the villa for at least a year, it is important to get comfortable by taking advantage of the conveniences that our villas have to offer. Gardener, housemaid, and rubbish collection are extra value additions that you can easily outsource with our help. Check for the rates on the internet connection as well as its signal strength and reliability.   Other than that, consider your surroundings. Do you have access to the grocery store or restaurants for a good meal? Is the villa private enough that you can enjoy a quiet evening in peace?   3. Ask about subletting policies for your Bali yearly rental   Each landlord has different rules about subletting (leasing to a subtenant). After living here for quite some time, you may consider renting one of your rooms to a holiday tourist. In case this is your plan, please have a thorough discussion with the landlord. In general, subletting is most likely possible with a leasehold title. It is inadvisable to sublet a villa regularly without the appropriate license.   Check out our villas at Bali Coconut Living, a property agent that can help you find your long term villa rental in Bali. We are also a villa management service to help landlords manage their villas for them.

Villa Nevada 6 is available for yearly rent, offering a strategic home base at Batu Belig Road and great stay experiences to enjoy once the villa is yours. Villa Nevada 6 isn’t your average 3-bedroom medium-sized villa. For a villa of this size and caliber, it surely can accommodate high quality living for a family of four with two children, or even a group of nomadic digital talents wanting to tap into the elusive Balinese market.   Villa Nevada 6 is available for yearly rental in Bali at a decent price, offering a great location at Batu Belig Road as well as great stay experiences that can be enjoyed once the villa is yours.

Reclining on a daybed in the garden next to a pool while working or relaxing, is an ideal picture of the Bali lifestyle.   Most of the villas we feature in Bali Coconut Living put an emphasis on being close to nature. After all, Bali is an island that is blessed with natural beauty, and residents of a villa should be exposed to it as much as possible.   The garden features many tropical plants with large leaves, which offers pleasant sights and fresh air. Some plants are flowering plants that are simple to maintain; all you need to do is to water them a little bit during the dry season, but you can let nature do the rest during the monsoon season.   The interior of Villa Nevada 6   If there is one word to describe this Bali yearly villa, it is home. It is a noun, not an adjective, for many reasons. Any villa can be cozy, homey, and welcoming, but not any villa can be a home.   Villa Nevada 6 in particular is a home to many people who have rented it before. The villa is simple, minimalistic, with traditional charms mixed with contemporary arts and decorative features. It is the feeling that you can find in most people’s homes — a little bit of something new from the home depot, mixed in with family heirlooms and objects of sentiment.   The interior design of Villa Nevada 6 is familiar yet refreshing.

Starting from 3.3 billion rupiah and no more than 4 billion rupiah, you can make your dream starter house with these Bali villas for sale in Seminyak.   In this article, we feature these two houses as excellent starter houses in Seminyak. Firstly, what is a starter house? Many would define a starter house as the first house that a person can afford to buy. However, we want to think a little outside the box. After all, Seminyak is an undeniable expensive neighborhood and first-time homeowners aren’t likely to buy villas for sale in Seminyak.   How about the first house you buy when you move into Bali after having spent many years abroad? This starter house may not seem like many of the holiday villas which you see taking up the majority of our listings. However, it’s a start — starting from 3.3 billion rupiah and no more than 4 billion rupiah, you can choose to live in these ideal living spaces in the Seminyak neighborhood, and then lease them for passive income when you’re ready to live someplace else.   Rumah Elsa   At an ideal distance to Seminyak’s bustling city center, Rumah Elsa sits in a pleasantly quiet Seminyak residential area. The neighborhood is friendly, and you may even find hundreds of communities around this Seminyak area that you can look out for. The house is set on a 150 square meter land size but is able to accommodate 3 large bedrooms with 3 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and private parking spaces.   If you prefer, you can install a swimming pool at the backside of the house, or alternatively, you can add Balinese soil, plant grass, and make a flourishing garden. The space is yours, and it’s wide open for possibilities.   With more interior space while still providing extra exterior space, you can truly design a home that offers everything that you can find outside. Do you love coffee? Install your own cafe design and coffee kitchen. Enjoy going to the cinema? You can easily create your own personal entertainment room. It’s the perfect home for creative people.   Start your Bali life   Bali Coconut Living is happy to show you around the hundreds of houses available in Seminyak, Canggu, and surrounding areas. If you are happy with your new home, we will be happy with our work; Bali Coconut Living is more than just a property agent. We are advisors, with a villa management service.

Will you be one of the freehold owners of a home near Uluwatu Temple? Here are two Bali villas for sale, freehold and freshly built.   For many years, Bali Coconut Living has offered to assist in selling or leasing villas — some aged and rustic, while others modern and minimalistic. We are now expanding to offer more value by helping developers sell the best and latest living spaces, freshly developed in the quiet side of Bali, and with great prices!   In this article, we’ll take a brief look at Villa Zumba — that is, they are not just one villa, but two villas in the neighboring vicinity. These are modern houses designed not just to look good, but to convey a subtle clue of the owners’ lifestyle and living experience. Millions of praises go to the architects and engineers who had built them.   Villa Zumba 2B and 3B are both new and complete constructions. Will you be the first to experience these wonderful houses?   Villa Zumba 2B   Villa Zumba 2B (2B meaning 2-bedroom) sits in a pleasant residential area of Ungasan, occupying a grand total of 186 square meters of land, on which you will live in a 234 square-meter house. It is the ideal home for the modern family, as it includes two large en-suite bedrooms, a wide-open swimming pool, and a generous parking area.   The price is now very affordable, which makes a good long-term investment at the center of tourism and cultural hotspot. The south of Bali is the home of a few cultural icons, such as the Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue, and Uluwatu temple and its enchanting Kecak dance performers. What used to be a barren rocky peninsula is now up for grabs for residential home builders as the Ungasan area is becoming a more beautiful place to live.   Villa Zumba 3B   The older sister of Villa Zumba 2B, the three-bedroom counterpart is slightly larger, occupying a 216 square-meter land space, on which a 253 square-meter building stands. The extra addition of an en-suite bedroom is perfect for a large family. The architectural styling is similar to that of Villa Zumba 2B, and the marginal cost is simply attributed to the extra land space that you would obtain for a great benefit.   It would still make an absolutely fine addition to your property investment portfolio. Many domestic buyers have large families who prefer to live in one of the most prestigious residential areas in Bali. A large land to own in what will become a more expensive real estate center in five years’ time is a great asset to have.
