Leasehold Villas across Indonesia’s Islands beyond Bali
Bali Home Immo’s leasehold villa listings across Indonesia’s islands beyond Bali reach from Gili Trawangan and Gili Meno, off the northwest coast of Lombok, to the wider island market around them. Each villa is offered on a Hak Sewa (leasehold) basis, a notarial lease that gives you the right to use the land and the villa for an agreed number of years. Hak Sewa carries no citizenship restriction, so international buyers can hold it in their own name. The legal framework is the same from one island to the next. What changes is the setting: beachfront and car-free lanes on the Gili Islands, and a larger island coastline on Lombok. Bali Home Immo has listed property since 2009, its agents are AREBI-certified, and its team works in English, French, German and Indonesian, so buyers can be guided in their own language.
Island Life without Cars: Boats, Bikes, and Sunset Beaches
The Gili Islands lie off the northwest coast of Lombok. Cars and motorbikes are not permitted, so residents get around by bicycle, on foot or by cidomo, the island’s horse-drawn cart. The result is a quiet pace of life, with the beach never far from any villa.
Gili Meno lies between Gili Trawangan and Gili Air, and the three islands are a short boat ride apart. From Bali, fast boats reach Gili Trawangan in about an hour and a half from Padangbai. From Lombok, a boat from Bangsal harbour takes about 45 minutes. Buyers can base themselves on one island and reach the others easily.
What an Island Lease Lets You Do
A Hak Sewa lease gives you the right to use the land and the villa for the term written in the notarial deed. You can live in the villa, rent it out where the deed and the villa’s permits allow, and make changes to the building with the landowner’s consent. The remaining term can be passed to a new buyer on the terms the lease sets, and extension terms can be agreed in the deed from the start, as the BHI guide on lease extension in Bali explains. A licensed notary (PPAT) registers the deed and checks it against the land certificate, so every right is documented from day one.
What Leasehold Villas Cost on the Gili Islands
One-bedroom leasehold villas on Gili Trawangan average around IDR 4.6 billion, whilst on Gili Meno the focus shifts to space, with four-bedroom beachfront villas at around IDR 6.1 billion. Both islands sit within a short boat ride of Lombok.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get from Bali to Gili Trawangan?
Fast boats run from Bali to Gili Trawangan. The crossing from Padangbai takes about an hour and a half, and from Serangan or Sanur it takes about two and a half hours. Buyers coming through Lombok can take a boat from Bangsal harbour, which takes about 45 minutes. Timetables change with the season and the sea conditions, so check the operator before travelling.
Are there cars or motorbikes on the Gili Islands, and how do people get around?
No. Cars and motorbikes are not permitted on the Gili Islands. Residents and visitors move around by bicycle, on foot, or by cidomo, a horse-drawn cart. A cidomo ride around Gili Trawangan takes about half an hour.
Is there a hospital or clinic on Gili Trawangan?
Gili Trawangan has a small medical clinic near the pier that provides basic care. For serious cases, patients are taken by boat to Mataram on Lombok or to Bali. Buyers planning to live on the island full-time should arrange health insurance that covers medical transfers.
Where does the water and electricity on Gili Trawangan come from?
There is no spring water on the island, so water is either shipped in or drawn from bore wells. Bore water is slightly salty, and many villas use filtration or treatment for drinking and washing. Electricity is supplied by PLN.
What should I check about the land before leasing a villa on the Gili Islands?
Ask a licensed notary (PPAT) to trace the land right behind the lease, confirm that the lessor can grant it, and check that the lease deed is registered. Compare the lease term, extension rights and permits in the deed with what you were told, and read the end-of-lease terms before you sign.
