Lyvin Melasti in Ungasan, Bali

Lyvin Melasti is a hillside villa resort by Lyvin Properties in Ungasan, at the southern end of Bali. The site covers 3.2 hectares, with a canyon on one side and tropical forest on the other, and the developer picked it for the view of the ocean. The first villas on the hill are already open and an apartment building completes the master plan. The new villas follow in two stages: those beside the lobby are due in June 2027, the rest in Q4 2028.

The villas

Every villa is handed over fully equipped, with a private infinity pool on its terrace. The one-bedroom villas measure 151 m², of which 68 m² is pool and terrace. The bedroom has its own bathroom and a work area, and the living room opens onto the kitchen and a lounge. The two-bedroom villas measure 191 to 195 m², and each bedroom gets an en-suite bathroom and a desk. In the villas due in 2028, 105 m² is built space and 90 m² is pool and terrace. Interiors are Japandi, Japanese minimalism with Scandinavian function and warmth, and Lyvin keeps plastic in the fit-out to a minimum.

Amenities and location

The complex has its own Middle Eastern restaurant, a bar with a view, a 25-metre pool, a gym and a spa, with hotel service run under one brand. Ungasan sits on the Bukit Peninsula in Badung regency. Lyvin describes the plot as a quiet hilltop with no neighbours, five minutes by car from the main road, and Melasti Beach is a seven-minute drive away. The Bulgari, Alila, Six Senses and Karma Kandara resorts are close and open their restaurants and beach clubs to visitors, and the Savaya club is nearby. Golf courses, surf spots, paragliding, a helipad, yoga studios, saunas and biohacking centres are all within 15 minutes' drive.

Lease and payment plan

The villas stand on leased land. The lease runs for 37 years, with a priority right to extend it by another 50, which makes 87 years in total. The payment plan takes 30% on booking, and the remaining 70% is paid during construction.
