Magic Story

About

Seven villas a few steps from Bingin beach on the Bukit. Brick facades, double‑height glazing, terraces over the garden. Sold out in three months. The project ran late; the reasons, the decisions and what changed on La Casa Española II because of it are in Insights. Keys were handed to the first owner in August 2026, on video.

Seven villas a short walk from Bingin beach, built to hold the spirit of the place rather than to impress a camera: surf breaks either side, cafés and the evening crowd within walking distance. One and two bedrooms, each with its own pool.

Most villas here are handed over as an empty structure, and the months that follow — sourcing furniture, waiting on appliances, chasing installers — are the cost nobody quotes you. This one is finished.

• Furniture crafted and installed
• Bedding, linens and soft furnishings in place
• Appliances fitted and tested
• Kitchenware stocked
• Decor curated and greenery positioned
• Internet and smart systems installed

Handover day is the beginning of it, not the start of a to-do list. The same standard on every project since Tropical Loft.

Magic Story is the project we talk about most, because it is the one that did not go to plan. A contractor change and the movement of land prices in Bingin pushed handover past the promised date. Rather than wait for a journalist to find that out, the founder gave a public interview about it and we published the causes, the decisions and the changes carried into La Casa Española II: a named QC lead with a dated log, certified structural steel, and a payment schedule tied to build milestones instead of calendar dates. The first keys were handed over on 7 August 2026; the video is on the founder's Instagram.

Location

Bingin, Uluwatu, a few steps from the beach path. The plot sits outside the coastal green belt where 48 structures were removed in July 2025; the classification with map and date is on the Documents tab.
