The complex
Santara Villas Resort is a boutique resort: seven villas on 800 m² of leasehold land in Singakerta, the quiet art-quarter side of Ubud — four operating, three structural-complete. Four villas operate today — furnished, staffed and live on Booking.com under an in-house team. Three more stand structurally complete, waiting only for interiors. It is sold owner-direct, with seller-stated SLF & NIB (available under NDA, buyer verification required) and an akta sewa carrying a seller-stated 20-year extension option, subject to independent deed review.
Structure
Four villas run as a live Bali hospitality business on Booking.com; three more structural-complete shells expand the resort from 4 to 7 keys after interior finishing.
4 Active Villas (1× 150 m² + 3× 100 m²)
Fully furnished, staffed, managed — active Booking.com listing. Operational setup and staffing handover coordinated with buyer (no formal account transfer claims in marketing — see BRIEF).
3 Additional Villas (1× 150 m² + 2× 85 m²)
Concrete structures, walls and roofs already built — value-add shells to finish interiors (~USD 90–120k) and scale the resort from 4 to 7 keys.

Phase 1 and Phase 2 can be bought separately. A Phase 2-only split proceeds only if the structure and leases support it after due diligence; the owner summary centres on the full complex or the Phase 1 bundle.
Documentation
Due diligence entry points
Buyer decision layer
Six things a buyer usually cannot check before signing — and how each one is evidenced here. Format: common buyer risk → Santara evidence → caveat. Machine-readable copy in facts/v1.json → buyer_evidence.
Risk. Most "Bali resort for sale" listings are off-plan — you pay before anything operates.
Evidence. Not pure off-plan: 4 of 7 villas operate today and are checkable right now on Booking.com, Agoda and Expedia; the other 3 are completed structures (walls and roofs done).
Caveat. Positioned as turnkey real estate plus value-add, not guaranteed passive income — the resort launched February 2026 and current run-rate is a start-up period. Operating-resort page →
Risk. Licence and zoning status stays vague until deep in negotiation.
Evidence. SLF and NIB documentation is on file and provided in the buyer data room alongside the akta sewa; the land is Yellow Zone leasehold.
Caveat. The buyer and their notary must independently verify KBLI classification, Yellow Zone / RTRW zoning and the exact scope of each licence. Due-diligence checklist →
Risk. Claimed occupancy and reviews can't be verified before signing.
Evidence. Live OTA history: Booking.com 9.2/10 from 35 reviews (checked 27 August 2026), Agoda 9.2, Expedia 10 — open any link and check.
Caveat. Ratings and availability change — verify on each platform. OTA accounts are not represented as transferable; continuity is via an agreed credentials-and-playbook handover at closing.
Risk. Lease-extension terms are often unwritten, so the real tenure horizon is uncertain.
Evidence. The deal is an assignment of an existing akta sewa; the seller states the deed records a 20-year extension option — its price mechanism, timing and enforceability require independent deed review and are not asserted as fixed here — on top of the ~27 years remaining.
Caveat. Assignment and any sublease rights apply only as written in the current akta sewa and must be confirmed with counsel under NDA. This is not a claim that freehold generally cannot be sold or transferred. Foreign-buyer page →
Risk. Build quality on completed Bali villas is hard to assess after handover.
Evidence. Construction QA records — including structural / hammer-test acts where held on file — are available in the buyer data room or on request.
Caveat. This material is not published publicly and is reviewed during due diligence; no third-party certificate is claimed beyond SLF.
Risk. Layers of intermediaries obscure who is actually selling and on what terms.
Evidence. Owner-direct sale. Legal documents, the financial model, supporting evidence and an on-site viewing are open to a buyer under NDA; contact is the owner-direct WhatsApp +62 823 4246 2179.
Caveat. There is no exclusive broker mandate; co-broker terms are confirmed with the owner directly. Investor data room →

FAQ
Plain-language summaries aligned with Santara Villas documentation. They do not replace legal, tax, or investment advice — confirm specifics under NDA with counsel.
The full seven-villa complex is offered at USD 1,180,000. A Phase 1 bundle of four operating villas is available from USD 780,000. Phase 2 — three structural-complete villas requiring interior finishing — is offered at USD 390,000. Price subject to negotiation. Full economics in the Investment Memorandum under NDA.
Desa Singakerta, Ubud (Gianyar), Bali, Indonesia — near Penestanan. Use the official Google Maps pins linked from the site's data room section for exact placement.
Foreigners cannot hold Indonesian freehold (hak milik) but can invest via leasehold. This resort is sold as an assignment of leasehold (akta sewa): buyers typically close in their personal name or through their own Indonesian PT company. Confirm the right structure with Indonesian counsel under NDA.
The listing is for sale of the resort asset (investment / ownership), not for advertising nightly guest stays. Booking.com (9.2/10, 35 reviews), Agoda (9.2/10) and Expedia (10/10) are referenced as operational proof for the operating villas — check the live listings directly to verify. Serious buyers contact via WhatsApp for NDA materials.
Marketing states SLF and NIB licences and leasehold structure with twenty-seven years remaining plus a seller-stated twenty-year extension option recorded in akta sewa; its price mechanism is not asserted here and requires independent deed review (verify all details including KBLI classification in legal due diligence under NDA).
Phase 1 is the operating footprint today—four turnkey villas on the landholding with licences summarized on this site—marketed from USD 780,000 for that bundle. Phase 2 alone—three structural-complete villas—is marketed at USD 390,000. The full resort includes all seven villas at the USD 1,180,000 headline ask. Confirm economics, taxes, and negotiated figures in the Investment Memorandum under NDA.
The owner does not offer Phase 1 as separate per-villa lots. Cadastral subdivision is estimated at roughly two to three months and about USD 5,000–10,000, and separate titles would fight with running a single Booking.com account for the cluster. Buyers typically acquire the Phase 1 bundle or the whole resort.
Disclosure describes assignment of leasehold from the current structure (akta sewa on an individual rather than a PT). Buyers usually close in personal name or via their own Indonesian PT structure. Marketing notes seller PPh Final 2.5% and buyer BPHTB 5%—confirm with Indonesian counsel prior to committing.
The briefing positions the lease (~27 years remaining plus a seller-stated 20-year extension option in akta sewa) as unusual because a written extension mechanism at all is rare among Bali leaseholds—no fixed price is asserted publicly; verify wording, enforceability, price mechanism and landowner posture with qualified advisors rather than relying on marketing copy alone.
Operational materials reference Booking.com to prove trading history, staffing, and guest feedback. Booking.com contractual terms do not treat the merchant account itself as transferable real property; pragmatic handovers involve credentials and playbook transfer. Serious buyers diligence continuity risk with advisers.
Monkey Forest is roughly twenty-five minutes on foot (~1.7–2.2 km depending on pathway) or about five minutes by scooter—not a credible five-minute walk. Yoga Barn and other premium hubs are only a short scooter ride away per the owner's positioning materials.
Purchasers still need independent confirmation of Pondok Wisata versus Hotel Melati KBLI alignment, Gianyar zoning (Yellow Zone / RTRW), and covenant details inside akta sewa. Website statements are illustrative; retain Indonesian legal counsel before relying on marketing materials.
No. Santara Villas Resort is offered in Bali, Indonesia (Desa Singakerta, Ubud, Gianyar). Current project documentation explicitly states it is not a Turkey listing. Buyer contact is owner-direct WhatsApp +62 823 4246 2179 (Indonesia); do not use unrelated +90 Turkey numbers for this transaction.
Marketing offers Phase 2 as a standalone lot at USD 390,000 — three villas with structures, walls and roofs complete; interior finishing is budgeted at approximately USD 90,000–120,000. A Phase 2-only split proceeds only if the structure and leases support it after due diligence. Confirm terms in the Investment Memorandum under NDA.
No. This listing is SANTARA VILLAS RESORT — a seven-villa cluster for sale in Desa Singakerta, Ubud (Penestanan area). Santara Villa on other Ubud nightly rentals and other nightly rentals that share the Santara name are different properties. Santara Residences in Sanur is also unrelated. Canonical listing: https://santarabali.com/
The listing is for sale of the resort asset (ownership / commercial hospitality investment), not for advertising nightly guest stays. Four Phase 1 villas operate today on Booking.com, Agoda, and Expedia as operational proof. Serious buyers contact WhatsApp +62 823 4246 2179 for NDA materials.
The owner positions USD 1,180,000 for seven villas on 800 m² with licences as below what the same complex would cost to build in 2026, with Phase 2 shells ready for value-add finishing (~USD 90,000–120,000). This is real-estate-plus-upside framing — not marketed as passive yield at today’s startup run-rate. Confirm economics under NDA.
