A Website for Your Bali Villa That Brings In Direct Bookings

Why your villa needs its own website

Platforms like Booking.com and Airbnb usually take a commission or service fee of around 15% per reservation. For a villa that charges IDR 1,500,000 a night, that's about IDR 225,000 a night that never reaches you.

A website doesn't replace the OTAs. Many new guests will still find you there. But a website gives you a place for:

• Returning guests. Guests who stayed and loved it can book again directly, without going through a platform.
• Guests who already found you, through Instagram, Google Maps or a friend's recommendation, and are looking for a way to book direct.
• Trust. Many travellers search for a villa's name on Google before they book. An official website shows them your villa is a real, well-run business.

What we build into a villa website

• Written for international guests. Most villa guests in Bali come from abroad, so the English version comes first. An Indonesian version for domestic guests can be added.
• Photo galleries that load fast. Photos are the main reason people book. We compress and arrange them so they stay sharp without slowing the page down on mobile data.
• A page for each unit or room type, with its capacity, facilities and photos.
• Booking on WhatsApp. A button that opens a chat with you, with the unit and the guest's dates already filled in. It's simple, and it matches how most villas in Bali already work.
• A location map and directions, including the distance to the airport, the beach, or the centre of Ubud or Canggu.
• Google Business Profile. So your villa shows up on Google Maps when people search for a place to stay near you.

See an example

We built one fictional villa, Alang Villas Ubud, in three package versions. The content and photos are the same, so you can compare what you get at each price:

• Starter version ↗ (IDR 500,000): one page with villa cards showing prices per night, facilities, a photo gallery, the location and a contact form that sends straight to WhatsApp.
• Business version ↗ (IDR 2,500,000): five pages (home, all villas with photos and facilities, experiences, gallery, and booking & contact), seasonal rates, a booking request form with dates, an FAQ and Google Maps.
• Custom version ↗: eight pages, with a page and floor plan for each villa, an availability calendar with a price calculator, four currencies, dark mode and a video on the home page. It also includes a monthly report showing your visitors, where they came from and how many booking requests you got.

The package we recommend

For villas, we usually recommend the Business package (IDR 2,500,000). It has room for up to 6 pages, which is enough for a home page, unit pages, a gallery, the location and contact. It also includes a business email address and a Google Business Profile setup. If you also want an Indonesian version, add the bilingual option (from IDR 400,000).

If you have a single unit and want to start small, the Starter package (IDR 500,000) works too: one page with photos, facilities, the location and a WhatsApp booking button. All packages are listed on our pricing section.

What you need to prepare

1. Your best villa photos. Professional photos are ideal, but phone photos taken in daylight with natural light can look good too.
2. A list of your units, their capacity and facilities.
3. Your address and Google Maps pin.
4. The WhatsApp number that will receive bookings.

We can also write or polish your villa descriptions with our content writing service, from IDR 300,000.
