About Sabawa

Each villa is designed to feel authentic, visually striking, and deeply connected to nature, while offering high-quality interiors suited for a luxurious yet relaxed lifestyle. The resort features a carefully curated set of shared amenities, including a café and restaurant, coworking space, volleyball courts, pool area, farmhouse, yoga shala, and recreational zones that naturally encourage community, wellbeing, and leisure.
Sabawa is more than a place to stay—it is a destination for those seeking harmony between elevated comfort and the raw, untouched beauty of Nusa Penida’s jungle landscape.

Why Invest in Nusa Penida
Indonesia and Bali tourism are on a strong multi-year growth trajectory, supported by government initiatives, expanded airline routes, and increasingly diversified visitor profiles. Nusa Penida, in particular, is experiencing demand growth significantly faster than the development of quality accommodation supply.
Early-stage investors in island markets historically benefit from the strongest capital appreciation, and Nusa Penida remains at this early growth phase. Bali’s tourism numbers are already above pre-COVID levels and continue to rise, while land scarcity—especially flat, accessible plots near Crystal Bay—is becoming increasingly real.
Professionally managed villa resorts consistently outperform standalone villas in occupancy rates, average daily rates (ADR), and guest satisfaction. At the same time, overnight visitor numbers on Nusa Penida are increasing as day-trippers choose to stay longer on the island.
With limited quality villa stock, ongoing infrastructure improvements (ports, roads, utilities), and ADRs on Bali’s satellite islands exceeding average Bali rates, Nusa Penida presents a compelling investment environment with strong long-term fundamentals.
Location
Sabawa is located just three minutes from Crystal Bay Beach—one of Nusa Penida’s most iconic and scenic coastal destinations. Slightly elevated above the shoreline, the site enjoys sweeping ocean and jungle valley views, cooler breezes, and a peaceful atmosphere just above the island’s main beach area
Nearby attractions include Broken Beach, Kelingking Beach, Manta Point, Atuh Beach, Puncak Mundi viewpoint, and Toya Pakeh Harbour, ensuring excellent connectivity while maintaining a sense of seclusion.
This balance—close to Crystal Bay yet elevated above it—makes Sabawa ideally suited for a resort and residential concept, offering easy beach access, panoramic views, and a calm retreat away from crowds.
