— THE PROPERTY

Villa Mercure is one of three villas Black Sand Group has built from raw land to handover. It has been rented, maintained and accounted for by our own team since delivery, which means the operating history you are buying is documented, not estimated.

The villa sits in Bunutan, in the Abang district on Bali's quiet north-east coast, five minutes from the beach and five from the centre of Amed. This is a working fishing village rather than a resort strip: the sand is volcanic black, the shore diving is a few minutes away, and the jungle comes right up to the property line.

Two en-suite bedrooms, both king, two bathrooms, four guests. Living, dining and kitchen share a single open volume that gives onto the pool deck; the pool is private and has its own lounge area. Dedicated workspace, wifi and free parking — it has been booked as often by people who stay and work as by people who stay a week.

It has been rented under our management for two years. On this listing: 4.86 out of 5 across 35 reviews. What guests write about most, in order, is the pool, the welcome, and the fact that somebody is on site.

One thing we disclose on the rental listing and will not bury here: there is construction on a neighbouring plot, weekdays 8am to 5pm, expected to run through summer 2026. We have discounted the nightly rate for it, which means the trailing revenue below is depressed rather than flattering. Ask us what the villa did before the works started and what we expect after & we will send both.
