Uluwatu Cliff House
A five-bedroom cliff-edge estate that we relaunched with new photography, premium pricing, and a direct-booking channel.
What the owner walked in with.
When the owner came to us in early 2022, the villa was listed on a single marketplace at a flat nightly rate that hadn't moved in two years. Photography was iPhone snaps from the prior manager. Occupancy hovered around 48% in high season.
The property itself (a clifftop five-bedroom on the Bukit) was being underpriced by roughly 30% versus comparable villas in Uluwatu. Reviews were strong but mostly buried under listings two pages deep on Airbnb.
How we rebuilt the operation.
We started with a four-day reset: full architectural photography at sunrise and dusk, restaging of the master suite with new linen and curated objects, and a copywriting pass that finally told the right story for a clifftop villa.
Then we relaunched on six channels (Airbnb, Booking, Vrbo, Agoda, Marriott Homes & Villas, and a direct site) with synced pricing tied to a dynamic engine. We rebuilt the rate card around peak, shoulder, and off-peak windows.
Operationally we put a dedicated villa manager on-site, replaced the housekeeping rotation with a four-person in-house team, and instituted the 42-point turnover checklist. Guests started rebooking, and more than thirty percent of stays now come from repeat or referral guests.

From relaunch investment to break-even
We used to dread guest changeovers from Amsterdam. Saka took it over and our occupancy jumped 38% in six months, and we stopped hearing about broken air-cons at 11pm. The monthly report is the first one I've ever read all the way through.
