1BR Villa near Melasti

Start with the 55 m² plan, not the rendering

The linked unit record describes one bedroom, one bathroom, 55 m² of building area and a 100 m² plot. Those numbers should be traced through the reservation form, approved drawings, survey and final agreement. Ask how enclosed rooms, covered terraces, service areas and walls are measured. A compact plan can work well for two occupants, but only if circulation, storage, ventilation and technical access have been resolved.

Mark the exact unit on the masterplan and inspect its orientation, neighbouring walls, pedestrian route and service access. Confirm that the unit schedule attached to the contract matches the plot shown by the sales team. Materials, appliances, sanitaryware, lighting and landscaping need a dated specification; visual references alone do not define the delivered product.

Location: test the Melasti corridor as a guest would

The recorded address is in Pecatu, South Kuta, with coordinates in the Ungasan–Melasti corridor. Nearby mapping places OMNIA Bali at about 400 m, Savaya Bali at 430 m, Warung Bu Iluh and CIRE at roughly 570 m, Uluwatu School at 680 m and Alila Uluwatu Beach at 780 m. Coco Mart Pura Masuka and Circle K Jalan Pura Masuka are each listed around 1.4 km away.

These distances help describe the immediate catchment, but the route matters more than the straight-line number. Walk and drive the approach in daylight and after dark. Check gradients, road width, lighting, drainage, turning space, ride-hailing pickup and the final public entrance to the coast. Repeat the trip during busy beach-club hours and rain. A property near Melasti is not automatically beachfront and does not automatically carry beach-access rights.

Compare the wider selection of villas in Melasti and all Melasti property listings by real access, initial lease term, plot usability and recurring costs—not by map pins alone.

Tie construction payments to evidence

Because the property is under construction, the agreement should define the specific unit, approved design, specification, completion test and handover process. Progress payments are safest when linked to measurable milestones verified by an independent technical professional. Request dated site reports, permits, contractor details, insurance information and a clear procedure for changes.

Before handover, test water supply and pressure, electrical capacity, air conditioning, drainage, waterproofing and wastewater arrangements. Inspect roofs, external walls, wet areas, doors, glazing and built-in furniture. Record defects with photographs, deadlines and responsibility for repair. The final payment, keys, manuals, warranties and inventory should follow the agreed acceptance process rather than a marketing timetable.

Read leasehold and extension clauses separately

The project is offered as leasehold. Confirm the land right, registered owner, contracting parties, start and end dates, transfer rights and remaining term for the selected plot with an independent Indonesian lawyer. The contract should also explain access, utilities, building use, taxes, default, dispute resolution and the authority of every signatory.

Marketing materials refer to future extensions. Treat each extension as a separate right: examine notice periods, pricing or valuation method, taxes, required cooperation and remedies if the landowner does not perform. Do not add an optional future period to the current term when comparing properties. Anteya’s guide to leasehold and freehold in Bali provides background, but the signed documents control this purchase.

Model the operation before assuming rental simplicity

Restaurant, spa and swimming-pool facilities appear in the project record. Establish which components belong to the common property, when they are due to operate, who pays for them and whether owners and guests have contractual access. Request community rules, service-charge calculations, reserve policy, insurance and responsibility for major repairs.

If a manager will operate the villa, review commission, owner-stay rules, booking channels, repair approvals, reporting, payment timing, termination and replacement rights. Build a conservative annual budget for utilities, cleaning, maintenance, linen, security, insurance, taxes, platform charges, vacancy and furniture replacement. A compact format can be efficient, but only when its legal access, delivered condition and full cost structure are clear.

Is this a beachfront villa?

No conclusion should be drawn from the area name or a map distance. Verify the plot boundary, public coastal entrance and usable route on foot.

What matters most in the leasehold review?

The signed start and end dates, remaining term, transfer rights and extension mechanism for the exact plot—not a combined marketing horizon.

What should happen before the final payment?

Independent legal review, milestone verification, technical inspection, defect schedule, plan and inventory reconciliation, and confirmation of access and facility obligations.
