5 Bali Property Management Services Who Let Me Earn While I Chill
I figured out early on that having multiple sources of income is the way to financial freedom. At the tender age of 11, I started selling half of my school lunch, trading seashells with tourists, and helping out at a family guesthouse. A true hustler, I know!
Surprisingly, I liked the guesthouse gig the most because I met many nice people who made this job a breeze. I even promised myself that one day, I’d own a lovely villa that would bring in passive income so I could travel whenever, wherever. And I did!
I’m super proud of my villa. But here’s the kicker—finding property management in Bali was harder than I thought, especially whenever I’m overseas! Thankfully, my parents hooked me up with some great recommendations. Here are the best ones I’ve tried.
How much do property management services cost in Bali?
Property management services in Bali typically charge around 10 to 20% of your monthly rental income for cleaning, repairs, and guest handling services.
1. Nagisa Bali Villa Management and Marketing
Address: Jl. Nakula No.5p, Pemecutan Klod, Kec. Denpasar Bar., Kota Denpasar
Contact Details: +62 361 490165, [email protected]
Operating Hours: Monday – Friday: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Nagisa Bali Villa Management and Marketing is a one-stop shop for property management in Bali, but it mainly manages luxury private villas. It’s been in the industry since 2006, so I believe it has ample experience in real estate.
I also find it handy that this company does all the work like maintenance and cleaning, as well as 24/7 guest communications, check-ins, and activities to keep your hands free from all the trouble.
It spent over 1.5 decades of experience catering to Asian, Australian, and European clients as well! I reckon this gives the managers ample international flair to manage properties with a broader, more adaptable perspective.
Plus, I appreciate how diligent the team is in documenting all transactions. The property owners are provided with comprehensive monthly financial reports so they won’t be kept in the dark about their investments.
Nevertheless, one renter told me about a mix-up with staff over surprise charges for a baby bed. While this could be a rare scenario, I think the team should improve its communication skills to avoid similar concerns in the future.
Wonderful Service
“We stayed in the Jonsu villa in uluwatu for 3 nights. This is an absolutely beautiful property and the staff are wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to anyone.

2. Optimum Bali
Address: Jl. Umalas Lestari Gg. Kolibri No.3, Kerobokan Kelod, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung
Contact Details: +62 853 3800 2448, [email protected]
Operating Hours: Open 24 hours
Optimum Bali is a real estate management team that mostly handles exotic and modern properties with a private swimming pool. Basically, it helps with renting and selling villas, as well as selling land.
Right off the bat, I love that this company is transparent and informative about its 2 major contract offerings.
The first package provides fixed monthly fees for staff management, maintenance, and bill payments. I like this one since there’s no need to repeatedly compute how much you’ll pay next time!
On the other hand, the second pick involves the managers getting commissions. This is based on the revenue from the villa for marketing and client care. And the good thing about commissions is that you only pay when you actually earn.
More info is presented on the company website, so I bet potential clients can easily understand what they need before reaching out.
Not only that but, it’s also helpful for me that the company is in charge of filing tax returns and paying them on behalf of the property owner—hassle-free services all the way!
That said, there are limits to what the staff can do. A past renter shared his frustration with me about experiencing electricity shortcuts in his accommodation.
While this is a thing that happens in Bali from time to time, I think it would help the company if it could find alternatives, like generators, to keep the renters happy.
Very Helpful & Responsive
“I am amazed with the service. Very helpful and responsive. Would recommend”

3. Sanur Bali Property
Address: Jl. Tukad Balian, Renon, Denpasar Selatan, Kota Denpasar
Contact Details: +62 813 3720 2045, [email protected]
Operating Hours: Monday – Saturday: 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Sunday: Closed
Sanur Bali Property is one of the most seasoned property management agencies in Bali. On top of working in real estate, I appreciate that its team is experienced in hospitality and customer service.
This company’s mission is to help people find their dream homes, so I bet you can find plenty of listings here that are beautifully well-maintained.
If you need to see for yourself, I find it incredible that the company website showcases over 1,000 listings! These are mainly exclusive villas for rent and sale.
Considering there are numerous options, I reckon this means the managers can find potential renters a villa in the shortest time possible.
I noticed that a lot of them are beachside properties too! So if you own a coastal estate or are looking for one, I believe this company has a lot of know-how in this arena.
However, a client I talked to had a hard time reaching the staff. For me, it’s probably because the company is juggling so many listings. I say give it an hour or two before following up. Otherwise, you can explore other property managers here.
High-Quality & Professional Work
“I am very grateful to Ibu Ari and her team represented by Ni Made for their high-quality and professional work in finding a villa in the shortest possible time. They knows almost everything about real estate. Feel free to trust!”

4. Bali Management Villas
Address: Jl. Raya Kerobokan No.5x, Kerobokan Kelod, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung
Contact Details: +62 878 6185 4989, [email protected]
Operating Hours: Monday – Sunday: 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM
With more than 10 years of experience in the Bali villa market, Bali Management Villas become among the most recognised villa agencies in the city. It offers full property management services for mid to high-end villas and resorts.
I also think it’s incredible that the company has over 200 well-trained staff to inspect and maintain villas up to the highest standards. The services involve monthly profit and loss reports, digital marketing strategy, web development, photoshoots, and so on.
It’s convenient for me that the company doesn’t charge any monthly fees too—except for the 18% from the published rate.
That means the company is only making money when you, the villa owners, do when your property is rented out! In my opinion, this motivates the property managers to do better and makes it a win-win situation for low-risk takers.
Still, I suggest being wary of some managers here who promote extra services to a fault. It’s best to clarify your needs and set boundaries from the get-go to make each property management discussion shorter and more productive.
Definitely Trustworthy
“BMV has been managing our villa for one year now. We are more than positive about their work. They keep on over delivering and stay professional towards our villa guests. A major benefit working together with them is all the insights they share with you as a villa owner for example a monthly in depth financial report. The possibilities are endless with BMV. Definitely a party to trust your properties with.”
-Mr. Thap Van Der Veen, Google Review
Amazing Team
“What an amazing team ! They really on top of all the needs I have as a villa owner, they have all the answers and solutions ready ! Special thanks to Mr G !”

5. Balitecture
Address: Jl. Pemelisan Agung, Tibubeneng, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung
Contact Details: +62 813 3978 3231, [email protected]
Operating Hours: Monday – Friday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Saturday – Sunday: Closed
Balitecture is an Australian-owned real estate development company in Bali experienced in property design, construction, and property management.
I’m confident about its capabilities because of its diverse experience. It provides end-to-end property development and management services on the island, as well as architectural services globally!
This is also why I think its managers can cater to both small and big clients, whether it’s a 1-bedroom hut villa or a 5-star resort you want to invest in.
The company has also been featured in several popular media outlets, like Forbes, TheJakartaPost, and Design Boom, which I believe adds to its credibility.
Plus, I appreciate its user-friendly booking system via Calendly (a free online appointment scheduling software) which makes it seamless for anyone, regardless of age or tech skills to reach the staff.
Yet, a former client told me that while the offerings looked promising in general, his discussion with the property manager didn’t give him any new or useful info beyond what was on the website.
The way I see it, the company needs to train their team to have better communication skills and product knowledge to avoid situations like this in the future.
Completely Smooth Process
“Working with Balitecture has been a completely smooth process. In particular James has been an outstanding support throughout the process. He has been extremely supportive, answering all of my questions (of which I had many!) and helping me make sure I understood everything about buying my first house in Bali. Looking forward to completing the project over the coming year and highly recommend this team if you’re looking to buy or invest in Bali.”
