Real Estate Advising in Sanur for Developers, Brokers, and Resort Operators

Why Sanur is a high-value yet regulated coastal market

Sanur, located on Bali’s southeastern coast, is one of the island’s original resort zones. Unlike the dynamic and often chaotic west coast areas like Canggu or Seminyak, Sanur offers calm waters, regulated development, and a more mature real estate market. Its beachfront, traditional atmosphere, and proximity to Denpasar make it highly attractive to resort operators, wellness brands, and lifestyle investors.

However, Sanur’s legal environment is tightly regulated — with strict coastal building restrictions, government-led infrastructure projects (including the new marina), and layered title histories. Developers, agents, and brokers entering Sanur’s market must structure their projects carefully to comply with coastal zoning, title verification, tourism licensing, and spatial planning laws.

Coastal zoning and setback enforcement

Sanur’s location within Bali’s regulated shoreline buffer zone brings added scrutiny to any construction or renovation near the beachfront. Properties must comply with setback requirements, which vary depending on their location relative to the high tide line. Building closer than 100 meters to the sea often requires Ministry-level approvals and environmental reviews.

VelesClub Int. performs geospatial analysis, reviews local Perda and RTRW plans, and determines the legal boundaries for your development zone. We help resort and villa investors plan within coastal limits, avoiding fines, permit denials, or future relocation orders.

TDUP licensing and operational legality

Operating a resort, boutique hotel, or short-term villa rental in Sanur requires a valid TDUP (Tourism Business License). In some subdistricts of Sanur, the number of tourism licenses is capped or delayed, pending infrastructure upgrades or regional tourism planning quotas.

VelesClub Int. assesses TDUP feasibility by location, project size, and existing tourism saturation. We prepare full application documentation, align your project with local tourism zoning, and coordinate inspections with provincial tourism boards. We help you enter legally and operate without risk of closure.

IMB and PBG transition challenges

Indonesia replaced the traditional IMB (Izin Mendirikan Bangunan) permit system with the PBG (Persetujuan Bangunan Gedung). While intended to streamline approvals, this transition has caused delays, inconsistencies, and administrative bottlenecks — especially in Bali where local governments are still adapting.

Sanur projects require PBG for any new construction or renovation. Coastal proximity adds complexity due to additional documentation. VelesClub Int. manages the full PBG process: architectural plans, zoning conformity, community engagement, and online application submission through the OSS system. We reduce delays and ensure legally valid construction status.

Land title complexity near the marina

Sanur’s new marina and port expansion has triggered rapid real estate interest in adjacent zones. However, many plots near the project are held under a mix of titles — including Hak Milik (freehold), Wakaf (religious land), Hak Guna Bangunan (HGB), and even government-owned leases.

VelesClub Int. audits title history, verifies validity with the National Land Agency (BPN), and checks for encumbrances, overlapping claims, or religious restrictions. We ensure that developers acquire only secure and transferable assets.

Leasehold structuring and PT PMA setup

Foreign investors cannot hold Hak Milik land directly. Sanur’s foreign-friendly market often uses leasehold (Hak Sewa) or PT PMA company structures. Choosing the wrong format may lead to operational risks, tax inefficiencies, or inheritance problems.

VelesClub Int. establishes PT PMAs, drafts lease agreements with legal enforceability, and ensures that your investment structure is compatible with your use case — residential, commercial, or mixed-use.

Environmental approvals for eco-projects

Sanur’s east-facing beaches and quiet neighborhoods are ideal for eco-villas, yoga centers, and wellness retreats. Yet, any non-traditional construction — including bamboo architecture, solar grids, or water filtration — must pass local environmental board reviews (UKL/UPL or AMDAL depending on scale).

We assess environmental requirements early in the design process, secure expert certifications, and present full environmental impact documents. VelesClub Int. helps your wellness project meet legal and ecological standards simultaneously.

SPPL and waste management compliance

Small and mid-size real estate projects in Sanur must still submit a Surat Pernyataan Pengelolaan Lingkungan (SPPL) — a letter of commitment to basic environmental responsibility. Without this document, building permits may be denied or revoked.

We prepare the SPPL, outline your waste management protocols, coordinate with village authorities (banjar), and ensure compliance with sanitation law. This ensures continuity between development, local expectations, and legal frameworks.

Banjar consent and local harmony

In Sanur, banjar (village council) consent is often required even if the project is fully legal under national and provincial law. For projects that may affect traffic, water access, or religious ceremonies, obtaining community support is vital.

VelesClub Int. engages with banjar representatives, explains project goals, and resolves concerns before construction. Our mediation preserves local support and minimizes informal resistance.

Land subdivision and villa clusters

Creating small villa clusters from a larger land parcel requires subdivision approval and updated spatial use registration. Without this, the National Land Agency may reject title updates or refuse Hak Pakai issuance for foreign investors.

We manage land splits, submit to the local Cadastral Office, and coordinate with surveyors. We also register each villa’s legal status so that future resale or lease becomes streamlined and compliant.

Broker mandates and agency protections

Real estate agents in Sanur are often left out of closing commissions due to informal arrangements or developer bypassing. Without enforceable mandates, brokers risk revenue loss even after years of client nurturing.

VelesClub Int. drafts formal agency mandates, aligns contracts with Indonesian civil law, and provides commission enforcement support. We help brokers work with legal clarity and fee security.

Tax planning and cross-border strategy

Resort operators and villa investors receiving income from Sanur must comply with local tax laws. Without proactive structuring, owners may face double taxation or issues repatriating profits.

We register SPVs for taxation, align with PPh final tax rates, and optimize post-tax distributions. VelesClub Int. ensures that foreign investors benefit legally and transparently from Bali’s rental demand.

Resale planning and investment exit

Sanur properties tend to retain long-term value. However, resale of leasehold or company-held assets must be planned. Legal documentation, tax clearance, and updated licenses are often needed to satisfy future buyers.

We help clients prepare for resale from day one — with scalable contracts, renewable licenses, and financial reporting aligned with Indonesian standards. Our exit advisory protects your capital and speeds up future divestment.
