Element Residences

Element Residences is a boutique low-rise development by Wahi Group, located in Canggu on the island of Bali, offering 33 residences across a single building with prices ranging from AED 615,000 to AED 2.3 million. Completion is scheduled for May 2027.

# A single building in one of Bali's most-watched coastal corridors

Canggu has moved, over the past decade, from a surf village footnote to one of Southeast Asia's most closely followed lifestyle addresses. International buyers, long-term residents and hospitality operators have all staked positions here, drawn by the coastal setting, the relatively relaxed planning environment and a steady influx of design-minded development.

Element Residences sits within that context: a single building, 33 units in total, positioned as a considered response to the area's appetite for residences that carry a resort sensibility without the scale of a large-block scheme. The project draws architectural inspiration from natural elements, expressed through organic materials, earthy tones and the interplay of light and structure.

Small scale, in Canggu, is a deliberate choice. Boutique developments in this corridor tend to hold their value differently from larger complexes, partly because supply is finite from the outset.

# Residences: formats, sizes and specification

# From studios to duplex penthouses

The 33 residences span a broad footprint range, from 441 square feet to 1,819 square feet, which reflects the variety of formats on offer. Entry-level units are compact studios; at the upper end sit duplex penthouses, some with private rooftop pools and double-height ceilings.

Duplex garden residences sit between those two poles, typically offering direct access to landscaped outdoor space. Open-plan layouts are standard across formats, paired with floor-to-ceiling glazing and private balconies designed to push the boundary between interior and exterior living. Natural materials and earthy finishes run throughout, keeping the interiors consistent with the broader architectural language of the building. Selected units carry ocean views.

For buyers purchasing at the lower end of the price range, the studio format represents a straightforward entry into Bali freehold property. Those targeting the duplex penthouses are buying something closer to a private villa with shared amenities.

# Amenities and communal facilities

The building includes a main pool with lounge areas, a rooftop restaurant, a gym, and wellness facilities covering sauna and ice bath treatments. Retail and dining spaces are incorporated into the development, reducing reliance on the surrounding street for daily needs. Landscaped communal areas extend the outdoor provision beyond the pool deck.

Shared parking is included.

# Canggu's position on Bali and what surrounds the site

Canggu's appeal rests on proximity to multiple reference points. Batu Bolong and Berawa beaches are among the better-known surf breaks on this stretch of coast, and both draw an international crowd year-round. Seminyak lies to the south, accessible without significant travel time, offering a denser concentration of restaurants and retail. Co-working infrastructure in Canggu itself is among the most developed on the island, which partly explains the sustained demand from remote workers and long-stay residents.

The broader Canggu corridor continues to attract hospitality and residential investment, and the area's road connections to Denpasar and Ngurah Rai International Airport place it within reasonable distance of the island's main transit hub.

# Who this project suits and where it sits in the Bali market

At 33 units, Element Residences is aimed at buyers who want limited supply built into the asset from day one. The AED price range, roughly AED 615,000 at entry and AED 2.3 million at the top, translates to a relatively accessible floor for international buyers already active in Dubai, London or Singapore property markets, where those figures represent a fraction of equivalent residential costs.

The buyer profile most likely to engage here is one of two types: an investor looking for a managed asset with rental upside in a high-occupancy tourist corridor, or an end-user building a second-home position in Southeast Asia ahead of the 2027 completion date. The hospitality-grade service model built into the development addresses both use cases without requiring either to compromise.

Bali is not a straightforward market. Foreign ownership structures require careful legal navigation, and Canggu specifically carries some infrastructure constraints that larger developments have not fully resolved. Buyers considering Element Residences should conduct independent due diligence on title structure and local planning conditions. The project's credentials, its boutique scale and Wahi Group's positioning, make it worth that scrutiny.
