Why Investing in This Property

There are three things on this land that rarely occur together, and one of them decides the whole project.

The first is the site itself. Eleven thousand three hundred square metres forming its own hill, with nothing above you and a full circle of view: the Batur caldera, the lake, the valley. In hotel terms that means every room can have the view. On a normal sloping site you get one good aspect and a lot of rooms looking at each other; on a knoll you can orient outward in every direction. That single geometric fact is worth more to a hotel design than almost any other feature of a piece of land.

The second is the zoning. Pink is tourism: a hotel, a spa, a retreat centre and the licences that go with them sit inside the designation rather than requiring a change of use. In a region where a great deal of land is agricultural or protected, that is a large part of what you are paying for.

The third is the hot spring, and it is the heart of the proposition.

Geothermal water rising on your own land, at altitude, in a region already known for hot springs, is the foundation of a product that cannot be copied down the road. A spa resort with its own source has a permanent cost advantage — no heating bill for the main attraction — and a permanent marketing advantage, because guests can tell the difference between a heated pool and a spring. Kintamani already draws visitors to its existing hot spring destinations; owning the water rather than queueing for it is a different business entirely.

Kintamani's climate shapes the entire product.

This is the rim of an active volcanic caldera at around thirteen to fifteen hundred metres. Nights fall to fifteen or eighteen degrees. Mist comes in. Rain is heavier and more frequent than on the coast. That is the reason people come, and it is why Kintamani sells to a completely different guest from the south: the product is a mountain hotel, with heating rather than air conditioning, fireplaces, proper insulation, heavier textiles, serious roof detailing and drainage built for mountain rain. The hot spring is the perfect centrepiece for exactly that: at fifteen degrees outside, thermal water is not a facility, it is the entire reason for the stay.

This is less a hotel with a spa than a thermal destination with rooms attached. The water is the product, the view is the setting, and Kintamani's day-visitor traffic — which is already substantial and already comes for hot springs — is a second revenue line that most mountain hotels do not have.
