Gili Islands · expanding across Bali
Own a piece of the Indonesian archipelago.
We help international investors acquire, build and manage island real estate — starting in the Gili Islands and expanding across Bali. Real projects, transparent numbers, full local execution.
Why islands, why now
A real asset, in a market people actually want to visit.
Tourism demand, a workable structure for foreign investors, and land that still prices below comparable destinations. We're honest about the risks too — that's the point.
Demand you can see
The Gili Islands and Bali run some of the highest short-stay occupancy rates in Southeast Asia. We underwrite every project to conservative occupancy, not best-case.
A structure that works
Foreigners invest via long-term leasehold (typically 25–30 years) with contractual renewal — legally sound and notarised. We explain exactly how title, tax and repatriation work.
No guarantees, real numbers
We never promise "guaranteed returns." You get modelled projections and the exact assumptions behind them — and as projects complete, we publish performance data you can verify.
How it works
Four steps, fully managed.
From first call to rental income — you can be as hands-off as you like. Our team is based on the islands, not in a call centre.
Discover
We match you to a project or design one from the ground up — off-plan, co-investment, or turnkey — to your budget and goals.
Structure
Notarised leasehold, due diligence, zoning and permits handled locally. You see every document and every cost, itemised.
Build / acquire
Construction and delivery with our on-site team and vetted contractors — quality-controlled, on a fixed timeline.
Earn & manage
We run the property — listings, guests, maintenance, reporting — and pay out net income with transparent statements.
What we offer
Three ways in.
Whether you want a whole villa or a stake in something larger, there's a route sized to you.
Buy off-plan
Acquire an existing project below finished value and ride the appreciation to completion. We navigate the bureaucracy end-to-end.
See current projects →Co-invest
Take an equity stake in a larger development without funding the whole thing. Diversify across projects and islands from a lower entry point.
Explore stakes →Build turnkey
Have a vision? We deliver it — land, design, permits, construction and management — and hand you the keys and the income.

Projects, with the numbers attached.
Every card shows an estimated range, not a slogan and not a promise. Actual returns vary with occupancy, the unit you buy and the price you pay.

Seraphina Isles Villa is our live flagship project. Selene Lofts and Villa Senja are concept projects in planning, shown to illustrate the co-investment and turnkey routes; their figures are preliminary models. *Published yields are estimated ranges — estimates, not forecasts and not guarantees. The figures beside them are the calculator's inputs, not the derivation of the range; the range is modelled on a different investment basis, so ask us for that basis in writing. Property values and rental income can fall as well as rise.
Model it yourself
Rental yield calculator.
Move the sliders to see how nightly rate, occupancy and costs shape your return. Fully transparent — the maths is yours to check.
Before tax. This calculator does NOT deduct Indonesia's 10% final withholding tax on rental income — on these inputs that is roughly 10% of gross rent. Illustrative only: straight-line, no financing, no tax. Not investment advice; returns are not guaranteed.
The roadmap
Starting in the Gili Islands. Building across Bali.
We began where demand is dense and land is scarce — Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, Gili Meno. As we deliver, we're extending the same playbook to Bali's highest-appreciation zones. Get in while the archipelago is still early.

Track record
Proof over promises.
We publish what is true today — no invented track record. Trawaya is a young company with one flagship project on Gili Trawangan; as projects complete, verified occupancy and payout data will be published here.
Every figure here describes the flagship Seraphina Isles Villa collection as it stands today. Ask us on WhatsApp for the current unit-by-unit status — we'll show you the numbers before you commit a euro.

The honest bit
Leasehold, risk & the fine print.
The questions serious investors actually ask. Straight answers — no hype.
Can foreigners own property in Indonesia?
Not freehold. Foreign investors typically use a long-term leasehold (25–30 years) with a contractually agreed renewal, or a properly structured PT PMA company. We arrange everything through a licensed notary and show you the full chain of title before you commit.
Are the yields guaranteed?
No — and be wary of anyone who says they are. We publish an estimated yield range — an estimate, not a forecast. The figures beside it (nightly rate, occupancy, costs) are the inputs to the calculator above, so you can model your own investment amount; they are not how the published range was derived, so your result will differ from it. That range is modelled on a different investment basis — ask us for it in writing before you commit. Property values and rental income can go down as well as up.
What happens at the end of the leasehold?
Your agreement includes a pre-negotiated renewal option at defined terms. We walk you through the renewal mechanics and the exit scenarios (resale of the remaining lease) up front, in writing.
Who manages the property and how do I get paid?
Our island-based team handles listings, guests, maintenance and reporting. You receive net income with itemised monthly statements — you always see gross revenue, costs, and your payout.
What are the real risks?
Regulatory change, construction delay, occupancy shortfall, currency movement, and liquidity (leasehold resale takes time). We underwrite conservatively and disclose each risk per project. This page is information, not financial advice.
