Villa management in Umalas and Kerobokan

What we take over

Villa management in Umalas and Kerobokan: everything under one roof

For owners in Umalas and Kerobokan we run the whole villa: marketing and listings on every channel, seasonal pricing, guest messaging around the clock, check-in, housekeeping, maintenance and pool care, staff, licence checks and one monthly statement with the payout. One 20% commission on the revenue the villa actually makes, nothing fixed.

The market, honestly

The Umalas and Kerobokan rental market for owners

Guests choose Umalas for quiet: couples, small families and long-stay remote workers who want a pool, a kitchen and a ten-minute scooter ride to Seminyak or Berawa. Stays are longer than in Canggu, and monthly demand is strong from expats settling in the area.

Umalas 1 and Umalas 2, the Bumbak lanes and the Kerobokan Kelod side towards Seminyak rent best. Semer and the streets towards the Canggu shortcut work for longer stays. Traffic on Jalan Umalas at peak hours is a real factor and guests read reviews about it, so honest listing copy matters.

Two of our Umalas homes are townhouses in a small complex, which is typical for the area: shared rules, a service charge, a gate and neighbours. That changes how a villa is priced and run, and we handle those specifics daily.

Which villas rent best in Umalas and Kerobokan

  • Two- and three-bedroom townhouses with a private pool: the sweet spot for couples and long stays.
  • Four-bedroom family villas on quiet lanes in Umalas 2 and Bumbak.
  • Villas with a desk, fast Wi-Fi and a covered parking space: remote workers stay for weeks.
  • Before launch we check the complex rules, the service charge and the noise from the main road.

How it runs

A villa in Umalas and Kerobokan, day to day

A local housekeeping crew on changeover days, a maintenance and pool round every week, a guest line staffed 24/7 and a named villa manager who visits the villa and answers your WhatsApp. Repairs above your monthly budget are quoted with photos and approved by you first. See housekeeping, maintenance and reporting for the detail.

Specific to the area

Townhouses and gated complexes in Umalas

A townhouse in a complex has a landlord, a set of rules and shared facilities. We work within them: guest registration where the complex requires it, quiet hours, parking rules and the service charge shown in your report. Pricing is set against the other units in the same complex as much as against stand-alone villas.

Premier Umalas 16 and 17 are run on this model and serve as our reference for what a well-managed townhouse in Umalas looks like.

As pessoas que nos apoiaram durante a estadia da Villa eram mto atenciosas. A Villa correspondia as fotos. Só o projeto de um dos banheiros, especificamente no espaço disponível para banho era muito pequeno, tipo pareceu erro de projeto, pois o outro banheiro era maior a área. Então, esse era um momento que, com a pouca saída de água do chuveiro (que já precisa de manutenção) e o pouco espaço, se tornavam mais travad…
