Studio in Berawa

Compare the two studio formats room by room

The linked unit records describe one bedroom, one bathroom and no private pool in both formats. The smaller unit records 32 m²; the larger records 50 m² and a pool view. Those headline areas should be reconciled with the plan and sale agreement: ask whether balconies, walls, service shafts or shared circulation are included, then check actual furniture clearances and storage.

Inspect the chosen unit rather than relying on a generic floor plan. In 32 m², test whether two people can cook, work, store luggage and move around the bed comfortably. In 50 m², identify what the extra area actually buys: a better sitting zone, circulation, wardrobe capacity or simply a larger terrace. A bigger unit is not automatically better value if its recurring charges are calculated by area.

Location: verify daily access in Berawa, Canggu

The recorded address is Jalan Pantai Berawa in Tibubeneng, within Berawa’s Canggu corridor. Nearby data places Archive Coffee • Parkcafe at about 120 m, Starbucks Canggu Square at 130 m, Canggu Station Restaurant and Warung Martin at 180 m, Synergy BJJ MMA Academy and Hydro Medical Clinic Canggu at 220 m, Sunset Pilates Berawa at 230 m and Canggu Community School at 270 m. Pantai Berawa is listed at roughly 850 m, while Perancak Beach is about 1.1 km away.

Treat those figures as orientation, not a promise of walking time. Test the route to the beach and main road in daylight, after dark and during rain. Note footpaths, drainage, traffic, ride-hailing pickup, noise and the final public beach entrance. The area’s café, school, fitness and medical services support short and longer stays, but they also create busy periods that may affect access and quiet.

Separate the apartment from the resort operation

The project record lists a beach club, restaurant, spa, yoga area, gym, swimming pool, beach access, kids club and concierge. The masterplan also shows reception, retail, several pools, a kids’ waterpark, dining areas and an event villa. These amenities can strengthen the guest proposition, but their mere presence on a plan does not define an owner’s rights.

Request the management agreement, community rules and current service-charge schedule. Establish which facilities are completed and operating, which legal entity controls them, whether owners and guests have included access, and what may be charged separately. Review housekeeping, utilities, insurance, maintenance, reserve funds, furniture replacement and major-repair responsibility. If rental management is mandatory, examine commission, booking channels, rate-setting, owner-stay rules, reporting, payment timing, termination and replacement rights.

Read the 30-year lease from its dates

A 30-year leasehold is recorded for the property, but the usable term can only be calculated from the signed commencement and expiry dates. An independent Indonesian lawyer should verify the land right, registered owner, contracting parties, authority of signatories and the lease applicable to the exact unit. The agreement also needs clear provisions for transfer, inheritance, access, utilities, building use, tax, default and dispute resolution.

No extension should be assumed unless a written clause defines it. Compare any option by notice period, pricing formula, taxes, required cooperation and remedies. Anteya’s explanation of leasehold and freehold in Bali gives context; the executed documents determine the rights purchased.

Inspect a completed unit before committing

Completion reduces construction-stage uncertainty, but it does not replace technical inspection. Test water pressure, hot water, electrical capacity, air conditioning, drainage, waterproofing, doors, glazing, appliances, internet provision and acoustic separation. Reconcile the delivered furniture and equipment with a signed inventory and photograph defects.

Ask for the occupancy or operating approvals relevant to the building, handover record, warranties, maintenance history and evidence of current insurance. Then model a conservative annual cost rather than adopting a sales projection. Include management commission, service charges, utilities, cleaning, linen, maintenance, replacement reserves, insurance, tax, vacancy and transaction costs. Compare net scenarios at different occupancy and nightly-rate assumptions.

Which format is better for personal use?

The 50 m² plan may offer more separation and storage, but only an inspection can show how efficiently the extra area is used and how costs scale with size.

Does resort access come with the apartment?

Do not assume it. Confirm each facility, access right, guest rule and fee in the management and sale documents.

What should be checked first?

Match the exact unit to its contract plan, calculate the remaining lease term from signed dates, inspect the completed condition and obtain the full recurring-cost schedule.
