Costs, timelines, permits and what turnkey renovation actually covers.
How much does a villa renovation cost in Bali?
A cosmetic refresh of a 2-bedroom villa typically runs IDR 300–480 million, a mid-level renovation IDR 600 million–1.1 billion, and a full gut-and-rebuild IDR 1.45 billion and up depending on finishes. Bathrooms start around IDR 60 million and kitchens around IDR 70 million. See our pricing page for detailed ranges.
How long does a villa renovation take in Bali?
A single bathroom is 2–4 weeks, a kitchen 3–5 weeks, and a full villa renovation usually 3–6 months including design, permits and the build. Tropical drying times for waterproofing and screed add a week or two that cannot be rushed.
Do you handle permits (IMB / PBG) and design?
Yes. We work with local architects and handle the PBG building approval where structural changes or extensions are involved. For like-for-like remodels inside the existing footprint, no permit is usually needed and we advise you honestly which case yours is.
Can you renovate a villa while it is still rented out?
Often yes — we phase the work room by room, seal off active zones with dust barriers, and schedule the loudest tasks around guest check-out gaps. For full renovations we recommend a vacant period, but partial remodels can run around a managed booking calendar.
What is included in a bathroom renovation?
Strip-out, fresh two-coat membrane waterproofing with flood testing, screed, full retiling, new plumbing rough-in, fixtures, vanity, glass and ventilation. We waterproof every wet area properly because Bali humidity punishes shortcuts within a year.
Do you provide a guarantee on renovation work?
Yes — 12 months on workmanship across all trades, and a separate 5-year warranty on bathroom and roof waterproofing systems. If a waterproofed area leaks within that period, we reopen and re-do it at no charge.
How do I get a renovation quote?
Send photos or a video walkthrough of the villa on WhatsApp with a rough scope, or use Quick Booking on this page. We reply with a ballpark the same day and arrange a free on-site measure within 48 hours.
Do you supply materials or do I buy them?
Either way. Most clients take our turnkey package where we supply everything to an agreed specification; others prefer to source their own tiles and fixtures while we supply labour and structural materials. Both are quoted transparently.
Is the rainy season a good time to renovate a villa in Bali?
For indoor work — genuinely yes. Bathrooms, kitchens and interior remodelling are unaffected by rain once the roof is sound, and the low season often means an empty villa and a calmer booking calendar. The only parts we schedule around the weather are exterior painting and any stage that opens the roof; everything else runs to a normal programme.
Which renovations should wait for the 2027 dry season?
Anything that opens the building to the sky or depends on dry ground: roof replacement, large terrace rebuilds, pool surrounds and exterior repainting. If your wishlist mixes indoor and outdoor items, we split it — indoor scope through the wet months, weather-exposed scope booked for the first dry weeks — so the villa is back earning sooner.
