Bali Villa Rentals or Aster Apartment? Choose Your Unit Type
If you have been scanning Bali villa rentals as an investment, you know the trade-off. A private pool and garden come with private upkeep. A furnished apartment at Aster Apartment in Canggu shifts much of that upkeep to a managed building. This decision guide helps you pick the unit: choose the one that suits the tenant you want to serve, then test its price against a fixed leasehold term.
Unit-type fit starts with the tenant
Unit size decides who rents your unit. The tenant decides how long they stay and how fast you can re-let. Canggu draws digital nomads, remote workers and couples. Aster positions its mezzanine units for solo travelers, couples and remote workers, and aims its three-bedroom suite at families and groups.
Compact units can turn over more often, but they may also find the next tenant faster. Larger units draw families and shared households, a narrower group that may stay longer and may take longer to replace. Ask the sales team what occupancy data exists for each type.
Renter profile matching across the three Aster unit types
Match each type to the renter it suits.
| Unit type | Size | Layout | Natural tenant | Investor trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type 1 and Type 2 | About 48.5 m² (522.6 sq ft) | Two levels, one bedroom on the mezzanine | Solo renter or couple | Lower entry ticket, broader tenant pool |
| Type 3 | About 108 m² (1,162 sq ft) | Three bedrooms over two floors | Family or group | Higher ticket, narrower tenant pool |
Every unit is fully furnished with premium appliances, and Aster lists Wi-Fi in its units, so a tenant can arrive with a suitcase.
How the mezzanine layout changes a rental
A mezzanine puts the bedroom on an upper level above the living area. At Aster, the lower level holds the living room and kitchen. The upper level holds the bedroom and private bathroom. That layout suits one person or a couple, but two unrelated adults sharing one bedroom will struggle for privacy.
Heat can also collect on the upper level. That may affect air-conditioning use and tenant feedback, so ask what cooling each unit has.
If you target a shared rental, Type 3 gives each tenant a private room. Aster’s three-bedroom suite puts the master bedroom with its own bathroom on the first floor. Two more bedrooms, a bathroom and a seating area sit on the second.
Leasehold duration and remaining term value
Aster Apartment units are sold as leasehold, listed at 29 years on the property page. Confirm the years remaining on your specific unit, because a leasehold loses value with every year that passes. That makes price per remaining year a better comparison than price alone.
The same logic applies at exit. Foreign buyers often cannot use Indonesian mortgages, so resale usually depends on cash buyers. A smaller ticket is easier for those buyers to fund.
Entry-level investment or a 3 bedroom unit?
Types 1 and 2 work as an entry-level investment. They need a lower capital outlay and target a broader tenant pool. The 3 bedroom unit needs more capital and serves families and shared households. It puts more money to work against the same leasehold clock.
The rental income logic differs by type. Ask the sales team for the purchase price per sq ft and the rent per sq ft of every type. Do not assume that bigger or smaller units earn more per sq ft. Then benchmark both figures against comparable listings in Berawa and Pererenan, including Bali villa rentals and other Bali long term rentals. Tenants compare you with those.
Five questions to ask before you choose
- How many leasehold years remain on this exact unit, and what are the extension terms in writing?
- Who manages tenants, maintenance and cleaning, and what fees apply?
- What happens if occupancy runs below projection, and how does the management structure protect you?
- If someone quotes a yield, what is the range, the source and the date? Treat a bare percentage with caution.
- Who pays to replace furnishings as they wear, and how does management handle owner use alongside rentals?
