Operational continuity, not a paper transfer
Operational continuity, not a paper transfer. Most Bali listings claim the OTA account transfers — contractually it does not. What actually transfers here: the on-site team, the SOP playbook, supplier contracts, the guest-review history under the same property name, and a supervised 60-day handover with the current manager. That is the part that produces revenue, and it is the part you can enforce.
FAQ
Is a leasehold hotel a safe structure for a foreign buyer in Bali?
Foreigners cannot hold Indonesian freehold (hak milik) but can acquire via leasehold assignment (akta sewa), closing in their personal name or their own Indonesian PT. This resort's leasehold has 27 years remaining as of August 2026 plus a fixed-price 20-year extension option. Confirm structure with Indonesian counsel under NDA.
