Foreign buyers usually cannot hold freehold (Hak Milik). The practical path for a hospitality villa or small resort is **leasehold assignment** (akta sewa), sometimes Hak Pakai or a PT PMA for larger commercial setups.

## What “buy a villa in Bali” usually means

1. **Single villa** — lifestyle or one Airbnb key (often USD 180k–600k)
2. **Small villa complex** — 3–7 keys with shared ops (USD 700k–1.5M+)
3. **Value-add shells** — unfinished structures you finish (under USD 500k possible)

If your goal is **investing in an operating hospitality asset** (staff, licences, Booking history) — compare clusters, not only single units.

## Budget tiers (2026)

| Budget | Typical market | Fit for this listing |
|--------|----------------|----------------------|
| Under USD 350k | Single villa / off-plan | Not offered as a single unit |
| **USD 350k–500k** | Value-add shells | **Phase 2 — USD 390,000** (3 shells, Singakerta Ubud) |
| **USD 700k–900k** | Operating small cluster | **Phase 1 — from USD 780,000** (4 live villas) |
| **USD 950k–1.2M** | Boutique resort | **Full complex — USD 1,180,000** (7 villas) |

## Leasehold checklist before you pay

- Remaining years on the lease and **written extension terms**
- Licences that match hospitality use (here: **SLF + NIB** cited — verify under NDA)
- Whether you buy **1 key** or a **bundled cluster** (ops and Booking accounts differ)
- Taxes: seller PPh Final 2.5%, buyer BPHTB 5% on this deal structure

## Ubud for hospitality investment

Ubud (incl. Singakerta / Penestanan) targets wellness and longer stays vs beach nightlife in Canggu/Seminyak. Land entry can be lower than prime coast for a multi-villa footprint.
