Set high within the hills between Dreamland and Bingin, this contemporary five-bedroom residence has been conceived around one defining element: the Indian Ocean. Arranged across three levels and extending to approximately 560 square metres, the villa rises above its compact 240-square-metre site to create a sequence of increasingly elevated living spaces, culminating in a rooftop swimming pool with exceptional 280-degree ocean views. Sculpted white architectural forms, generous openings and warm natural finishes give the residence a distinctly contemporary character. The interiors are restrained rather than decorative, with soft neutral tones, timber detailing and floor-to-ceiling glazing creating a quiet backdrop to the landscape beyond. With five bedrooms, six bathrooms, two kitchens and two separate living areas, the property has the scale and flexibility of a substantial private home while retaining the functionality required for premium hospitality. ARCHITECTURE SHAPED BY THE VIEW The residence has been designed vertically, allowing its principal spaces to respond to the hillside rather than compete with it. Across three storeys, the architecture gradually opens toward the ocean, using elevation to draw greater light and wider views into the home. Clean rendered surfaces are softened by natural timber, landscaped planting and gently curved architectural details. Full-height glazing connects the interior with garden spaces at the lower levels, while the upper floors become progressively more outward-looking. The result is a home that feels private at ground level and increasingly expansive as it rises. Rather than treating the ocean as a distant outlook, the architecture uses it as an organising principle. THE ROOFTOP The defining space is found at the highest point of the residence. Here, the rooftop swimming pool is framed by a broad opening toward the Indian Ocean, creating an uninterrupted visual connection between water, sky and horizon. From this elevated position, views extend through approximately 280 degrees, transforming the rooftop into the principal destination within the home. The setting lends itself naturally to long afternoons by the pool, private entertaining and sunset gatherings, while the simplicity of the architecture allows the landscape to remain dominant. It is a space conceived less as an amenity than as the culmination of the residence. GENEROUSLY PROPORTIONED INTERIORS The villa provides approximately 560 square metres of built area across its three levels. Five bedrooms create generous private accommodation, complemented by six bathrooms finished in a calm contemporary palette of stone, timber and soft neutral surfaces. Two separate living rooms allow the home to accommodate different rhythms simultaneously: formal entertaining, family life or quieter private retreat. Two fully equipped kitchens add further flexibility, particularly for larger households, extended stays or professionally managed hospitality. Additional service areas include a dedicated laundry and security room, while private parking accommodates two vehicles. The residence will be delivered fully furnished, allowing the interiors and architecture to read as a complete composition from the outset. DREAMLAND & BINGIN The location places the property within one of the Bukit Peninsula's most established coastal enclaves. Dreamland Beach lies approximately 500 metres from the villa, while Bingin Beach is approximately 1.5 kilometres away and Padang Padang approximately 2.9 kilometres farther along the coast. This stretch of the Bukit has evolved around some of Bali's most recognised surf beaches, yet its appeal now extends well beyond the water. Contemporary restaurants, beach clubs, fitness and wellness destinations, golf and boutique hospitality have established the Dreamland–Bingin corridor as a destination in its own right. For owners, this creates a particular balance: the villa occupies an elevated residential position above the coastline while remaining closely connected to the experiences that define life on the western Bukit. A RESIDENCE FOR PRIVATE LIFE OR HOSPITALITY The scale and configuration of the property allow it to function naturally in more than one way. As a private residence, five bedrooms and multiple living spaces provide sufficient separation for family, guests and extended stays. As a professionally operated villa, the rooftop pool, ocean outlook, bedroom count and proximity to Dreamland and Bingin create the attributes typically associated with the upper tier of Bali's holiday-rental market. Importantly, the residence does not need to compromise its identity in order to accommodate either use. Its architecture remains residential first. AN ESTABLISHED INVESTMENT CASE For buyers considering managed hospitality use, the current financial model assumes an average nightly rate of approximately USD 900 and annual occupancy of approximately 70%. On those assumptions, the developer projects net annual income of approximately USD 137,970, equivalent to an estimated 12% net rental yield and an indicative payback period of approximately 8.4 years. These figures are projections rather than guaranteed returns and remain dependent on rates, occupancy, operating costs, management and wider market conditions. For JamesEdition, I would keep these figures secondary to the residence itself. They strengthen the proposition, but the reason to engage with the property should remain its location, architecture and extraordinary rooftop setting. A LONGER-TERM POSITION IN BINGIN The property is offered with an initial 30-year lease together with a guaranteed 25-year extension option, providing an intended tenure of 55 years in total. The villa sits within Pink Zone designation and is being developed as a fully furnished residence. Construction is currently reported at approximately 40% complete, with completion scheduled for May 2027. For buyers entering before completion, this offers the opportunity to secure a substantial ocean-view residence within an increasingly established part of the Bukit while the property is still under construction. A HOUSE ABOVE THE COAST There are larger villas in Bali, and there are residences closer to the water. What distinguishes this property is the way its architecture uses elevation. Across three levels, the home moves gradually from private gardens and enclosed interiors toward an increasingly open relationship with the ocean, ending at a rooftop pool where the horizon becomes the dominant feature. Within the Dreamland–Bingin hillside, that creates a residence with a clear identity. Contemporary, restrained and built around one of the Bukit's most enduring assets: the view.
