The ROI plan
Same resort, same operating model, one variable: occupancy. The pessimistic case is our planning anchor: every number we commit to works at the floor. Rental income only; capital gains on the land come on top.
| Pessimistic50% occupancy | Realistic60% occupancy | Optimistic70% occupancy | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average weekly rate | €1,850 | €1,850 | €1,850 |
| Revenue per year | €781,068 | €935,282 | €1,089,495 |
| Operating expenses (40%) | €312,427 | €374,113 | €435,798 |
| Operating net | €468,641 | €561,169 | €653,697 |
| Return (pre-tax) | 23.4% | 28.1% | 32.7% |
| Distributed return | 16.5% | 20.1% | 23.7% |
| Net after withholding | 14.0% | 17.1% | 20.2% |
| Capital back in | ≈ 7.1 yrs | ≈ 5.9 yrs | ≈ 5.0 yrs |
Year-one snapshot at today's rates, no annual growth assumed. Distributed return is what the company pays out after 22% Indonesian corporate tax. Net after withholding applies the 15% dividend withholding rate the Indonesia–Netherlands treaty sets for a portfolio holding (5% for a company holding 25%+, 20% without a certificate of domicile), before any personal tax in your country of residence. The plan applies from phase 2 onward, see the rollout below. Indicative, not guaranteed.
Three exits, per €50,000
Hold ten years

Sell at three years

Early exit, one year
+45%€65,297 stake value at 8× the year-1 pool, plus €7,008 net payout. +77% at a 10× re-rating.
Entry is priced at ≈6.1× year-one investor cash flow; comparable boutique hospitality assets change hands at 8–12×. Payouts shown net of withholding; sale values before any tax on the gain. Shares are private: fellow investors hold a right of first refusal and finding a buyer is your own responsibility. Indicative, not guaranteed.

Observation 01 · The Polymath



Plate 01 / 03 · Three observations, filed over years of studying the polymath. Slide between them. Together they point to one conclusion.
The concept
The concept is what sets this project apart from every other villa on the island: not just a stay, an interactive stay. Our guests do not travel to switch off, they travel to get better at something. They pick a skill they always wanted to learn, or one they want to take seriously, and for one or two weeks that becomes the whole point of the trip. The resort's job is clearing the way for focus.
The skill studio
The heart of the resort. Once a month a coach, local or international, runs a skill-hacking program: one week to learn a skill, two to master it. Chess, guitar, photography, the skill rotates every cycle, and every cycle draws a new crowd.
Built for focus
Rooms tucked into nature, a café serving whole unprocessed food, a quiet co-work, a recovery centre with sauna and cold plunge, a gym with a fight zone. Day passes open the whole environment to visitors who do not stay the night.
The gap
Every premium Bali property sells relaxation. None sell focus, none filter on ambition, none have built a community around skill acquisition. That gap is Polymath.
We're not building a resort with wellness, but wellness with a resort
Travellers used to fly somewhere to switch off. Now they fly to become better. Wellness is the fastest-growing reason people travel, and nowhere shows it more clearly than Bali: wellness travellers book longer stays, 5–7 nights against 3–4 for standard leisure, and spend more across more touchpoints while they are there. The question is no longer whether to invest, but how deeply.

We don't expect 50% from day one
Even the pessimistic case assumes a resort people already know exists. We do not expect to hit 50% occupancy straight out of the gate, and the plan does not need us to: the resort opens in two deliberate phases.
Phase 01 · The proving ground · first six months
- Doors open with nightly rates cut in half
- Every stay builds the case: reviews, content, followers, a filled feed
- No monthly skill programs yet, the foundation gets optimised first
- Return during this window: ≈ 8.2%
Phase 02 · Full potential
- The full concept switches on: monthly skill-hacking programs, full rates
- Launches on six months of live social proof, not promises
- Maximum quality from day one: team run in, machine tested
- The opening itself is a marketing moment, a second grand launch
During phase 1, nightly rates run at half the full level, which puts the return at roughly 8.2%, half the pessimistic 16.5%, over those first six months. The ROI plan applies from phase 2 onward.
