Cemagi

Cemagi is a village in the Mengwi district of Badung Regency, on Bali's south-west coast. It lies about 10 km along the shore west of Canggu, past Pererenan and Seseh, and it is the last Badung village before Beraban in Tabanan, home of Nyanyi Beach, Nuanu and Tanah Lot temple. Seseh and Mengening are two of its twelve hamlets.

Yes, but not as freehold. Hak Milik, Indonesia's freehold title, is for Indonesian citizens only. A foreign buyer either takes a lease (Hak Sewa), a contract with the Indonesian landowner made as a notarial deed, or a Hak Pakai (right to use) title, which is registered at the land office; notaries usually ask the buyer to hold a stay permit. Arrangements where an Indonesian holds land in name for a foreigner are void under Indonesian law, and since February 2026 a Bali provincial regulation bans them outright. Use an independent notary (PPAT) for checks and signing.

Leases in Bali are set by contract, not by statute. Terms of 25 to 30 years are common, and an extension exists only if it is written into the contract, with its price or formula. Predmet.Cemagi, for example, is sold on a lease the developer gives as 27 + 15 years. When the lease ends, the land and the building go back to the landowner unless an extension was agreed, so read the extension clause and the resale and inheritance terms before signing.

Canggu is about 15 minutes east by car and Nuanu about 10 minutes west. Tanah Lot temple is around 20 minutes away. Ngurah Rai International Airport is about 25 km, which with traffic through Canggu usually means around an hour. Bali has no rail, so everything goes by road.

Not really. The beach is black volcanic sand facing the open Indian Ocean, the waves are strong and there are rocks along the shore. Experienced surfers use it, and it is a fine place to walk and watch the sunset, especially at Mengening below the Batu Ngaus temple. For calm water most residents use a pool.

Holiday letting is a licensed business in Indonesia. The property needs a business identification number (NIB) under the right business code, and foreign owners usually let through a licensed Indonesian operator or through their own PT PMA company. In 2026 the Tourism Ministry had hundreds of unlicensed listings removed from Airbnb, Booking.com and other booking sites, and a direct check between the booking sites and government licence records is planned from June 2027.

Quiet. The village follows the Balinese calendar of temple ceremonies, fishing boats are pulled up on the sand and the rice fields reach the edge of the houses. There are warungs and small shops, but for supermarkets, cafés, gyms and most services people drive to Pererenan or Canggu. ProEd Global School's Nuanu campus and Luna Beach Club are about ten minutes away.
