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 stay in, or live in, the unit under the Owner Usage Policy. 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 book short stays or live in the unit yourself, and the right to transfer the lease or pass it to your heirs. Only 4 of the 20 units are offered 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 or four. It is a one-time payment for the full term. 50% is due within 7 working days of signing. The other 50% is due within 7 working days of our written notice that the main concrete structure is complete, expected in October or November 2026. Payouts and residence rights start once both payments are made. Payments go into the company's dedicated project account, which needs two authorised signatories for withdrawals.

Four. The resort has 20 studios, and the unit lease scheme is limited to 4 of them. 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. Indonesian withholding tax is deducted where it applies. A short stay in your own unit reduces that quarter's payout, and a longer residence pauses payouts until the unit 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. Short stays are booked under the Owner Usage Policy while your unit stays in the pool. To live there, give 60 days' notice for a stay of at least 3 months. 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 January 2027. Construction is underway in Kuta and is run by The Habitat Group, the team that delivered The Habitat 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 that needs two signatories. 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.
