AWWA Hotel

AWWA Hotel is a completed, fully operational boutique hotel developed by Big Waves Development in Canggu, Bali, offering three one-bedroom furnished apartments priced at AED 543,530 each.

# The building and its position in Canggu

Canggu occupies the southwestern coastline of Bali and has, over the past decade, become the island's most commercially active district for short-stay hospitality. The area draws a consistent mix of leisure travellers, remote workers and long-stay guests, which gives income-generating hotel assets here a reliable demand base through most of the calendar year.

AWWA Hotel is a single building, commissioned in the third quarter of 2025 and delivered at 100 per cent completion. The project adopts an adults-only format, which distinguishes it from the broader Canggu hotel market and positions it toward a guest profile that values quiet, design-conscious accommodation over family-resort scale. The building's signature feature is a 25-metre swimming pool, which serves as both the architectural centrepiece and the social anchor of the property. Artwork by Shira Barzilay, the Israeli artist known professionally as Koketit, is integrated into the complex.

# Residences: layout, finish and furnishing

Each of the three units is a one-bedroom apartment of 355 square feet, fully furnished and delivered ready for immediate occupancy or immediate income generation. The footprint is compact by conventional residential standards, reflecting a hotel-room logic: the layout prioritises guest comfort within a fixed floor plate rather than domestic storage or secondary living zones.

Interiors include a kitchenette, private bathroom, work desk and dining area. Large windows frame views of either the pool or the surrounding tropical landscape. All furnishing is included in the purchase price, with no fitout or specification decisions left to the buyer.

# Amenities and the guest experience on site

The amenities list is short and intentional. A pool deck and designated seating areas frame the 25-metre pool. A yoga area and lush green zones address the wellness orientation that Canggu's guest demographic expects. The rooftop cinema offers outdoor screenings. An on-site bar provides a social space without the operational complexity of a full-service restaurant.

Beach and water sports access completes the offering, appropriate given the property's coastal district location.

The hotel runs with professional in-house management, including 24-hour concierge, maintenance and operational reporting through a dedicated CRM system. For investors purchasing remotely, that infrastructure matters as much as the amenities themselves.

# Connectivity and the Canggu market context

Canggu's draw rests on a combination of surf beaches, an established café and restaurant culture, and proximity to wellness studios and beach clubs that have built global reputations. The district sits within easy reach of Seminyak to the south and the broader Badung regency's road network. Ngurah Rai International Airport connects the area to direct flights across Asia, Australia and the Middle East.

Occupancy projections cited by the developer start at approximately 80 per cent, with projected returns of up to 12 per cent annually. Those figures carry the usual caveats of any forward-looking hospitality estimate, but the underlying demand in Canggu for quality short-stay accommodation is well documented.

# Who this asset suits

At AED 543,530, AWWA Hotel sits at an entry price that places Bali hospitality investment within reach of buyers who would typically be researching Dubai's off-plan market in the AED 500,000 to AED 800,000 bracket. The comparison is relevant: buyers at this price point in Dubai often accept longer completion timelines and construction risk, whereas AWWA is already built, already operational and already generating revenue.

The target buyer is less the lifestyle purchaser and more the income-focused investor: someone seeking a managed asset in a high-tourism market, with no residency expectation attached to the purchase. The fully furnished, fully managed format removes the post-handover decisions that add cost and delay to conventional property investment.
