Unit lease FAQ: price, payouts, residence and risks

A unit lease gives you the long-term income and personal-use rights to one specific studio. You receive that studio's share of the resort's net distributable profit and can live in the unit yourself. The agreement is with the operating company, PT Habitat Coliving Kuta, and runs for the term of the project's 30-year land lease. In practice you get three things: a quarterly payout while your unit is in the rental pool, the right to live in the unit yourself for a month or more, and the right to transfer the lease or pass it to your heirs. Three of the 20 units are still available this way.

USD 54,000 for one unit, USD 52,000 per unit if you lease two, and USD 50,000 per unit if you lease three. It is a one-time payment for the full term. You reserve with a USD 3,000 deposit, refundable if you withdraw in writing within 15 days. Within 7 working days of signing the Unit Lease Agreement you pay USD 25,000, less the deposit. The balance is paid in two equal payments, each within 7 working days of our written notice: when the structure is certified complete, and when your unit is certified finished and ready to move in. Payouts and residence rights start once the full price is paid. Payments go into the company's dedicated project account, where every withdrawal goes through a three-step authorisation.

Three. The resort has 20 studios, four of them were offered as unit leases and one is now taken. The other 16 stay with the operating company and are rented out as part of the same pool.

Quarterly, within 30 days of each quarter's accounts being completed. Each participating unit receives an equal share of net distributable profit: 5% per unit while all 20 units are in the pool. Every quarter you also get a report on occupancy, average rate, revenue, costs, reserve fund and payouts, plus annual financial statements. Payouts follow how the resort performs. If you live in your unit, payouts pause until it returns to the pool.

Revenue from all participating units is pooled. Operating costs (land rent, utilities, insurance, staff, management, marketing and maintenance) and reserve fund contributions of up to 5% of gross revenue are deducted. What remains is net distributable profit, split equally per participating unit. The returns calculator on this site shows an illustrative version of that calculation, with adjustable rate and occupancy.

PT Habitat Coliving Kuta operates all 20 units as one hospitality business, with one brand, one reservation system and one management team. Bookings, cleaning, maintenance and staff are handled for you. Units aren't rented out or listed individually, which keeps the whole resort consistent for guests.

Yes, you can live in it yourself. Give 60 days' notice for a stay of at least 1 month. Short holiday stays aren't offered. While you're in residence your unit leaves the pool, so payouts pause and you pay a monthly residence charge: your 1/20 share of shared running costs plus your unit's metered utilities. You can return the unit to the pool on 30 days' notice.

Foreign individuals generally can't hold freehold land title in Indonesia, so hospitality projects in Lombok are commonly built on long-term land leases. The company holds a 30-year land lease, and your unit lease runs alongside it. What you hold is a defined, transferable right to one unit and its share of the profit.

No. You sign the Unit Lease Agreement as an individual. Because a unit lease is a contract rather than a shareholding or land title, you don't need a PT PMA to hold it. How the income is taxed depends on where you live.

Opening is scheduled for Q1 2027. Construction is underway in Kuta and is run by The Habitat Group, the team that delivered Habitat Forest and Habitat Garden. Timelines on any build can shift a little, and progress photos on this site are updated as the work moves forward.

Your unit lease runs for the full 30 years of the project's land lease and ends with it. The business plan is built on those 30 years and doesn't rely on an extension.

Like any property project, a unit lease carries some risk. The main ones are construction delays or cost overruns, lower occupancy or rates than modelled, a drop in travel demand, and changes in Indonesian law or tax. The project is set up to keep those risks small: construction is run by the team that delivered and sold out two developments in Kuta, each build stage is signed off before it is paid, and your payments sit in a dedicated project account with a three-step authorisation on every withdrawal. Payouts follow how the resort performs and are not guaranteed.

Yes. You can transfer your unit lease to a new holder with the company's written consent, which won't be unreasonably withheld, for a USD 500 transfer fee. The buyer takes over the same agreement. The lease also passes to your heirs.
