COMPANY HISTORY
Since 1992, BALI.com Ltd (formerly PRIVATE VILLAS LTD) has been arranging the rental of privately owned villas in Bali for foreign visitors. In 1995 the company launched "Balivillas.com" on the Internet, and its web site features details on about 30 comfortable, fully staffed villas in various price categories and located in different parts of the island.
Balivillas.com has become well-known as the top source for renting the most beautiful villas in Bali. You'll find in its portfolio only carefully selected high-quality villas which meet the standards of the most discriminating travelers. All villas have a private swimming pool and are serviced around the clock by trained and trustworthy house staff.
Balivillas.com is (in cooperation with its associates) the only company to actually manage and operate most of the villas offered. By guaranteeing the villa owners a regular income year-round, Balivillas.com can offer rental rates far below any other source. Its villas and services are comparable to 5-star hotel accommodation.
As a result, Balivillas.com's exclusive "SUPER VALUE Rates" and "LAST MINUTE Offers" provide savings of 10% to 20% and (when combined) around 40% compared to rental rates offered by others for similar accommodation. Long-term rental and management contracts allow Balivillas.com to invest in up-grading its villas to provide exclusive guest amenities, and the company's 150+ full-time butlers, chefs, maids, house boys, gardeners, spa therapists etc. guarantee standards of service comparable to 5-star hotels.
A local company was contracted in 1996 to open a Reservation & Service Center in Bali to facilitate the immediate confirmation of villa reservation requests and to further improve the management of villas and services provided to the growing number of guests. Villa guests enjoy the free use of an air-conditioned car with a reliable English-speaking driver during their whole stay, and the local Guest Service staff can handle any special arrangement which may be required by guests.
General Manager of the Bali Reservation & Service Center is Ms. Endris Juliawati who speaks English, German and Indonesian. Michael Heriyono is responsible for Program Development, and Wayan Budiasa ("Mr. Budi") handles Guest Reservations with widely acknowledged efficiency. All domestic staff working in the villas is trained and supervised by the Villa Management Department headed by Mr. Nyoman Sudiarna. A number of multi-lingual guest service staff and reliable drivers are on hand to provide personal assistance from the time you arrive at the airport to your departure.
Ms. Endris, Mr. Michael, Mr. Budi, and several of the supporting staff have been with the company since the opening of the Bali Service Center in 1996 and are well-known to regular guests.

Other Services Provided by BALI.com Ltd
To help visitors to Bali who prefer to stay at a hotel or resort rather than at a villa, the company launched in 1996 a hotel reservation service (at wholesale rates) and subsequently the Baliresorts.com web site. The BALI HOTEL BARGAIN FINDER service offers individual travellers access to the GUARANTEED lowest rates at a wide range of hotels in the 2-star to 5-star categories including both Four Seasons Resorts, the Ritz Carlton, Grand Hyatt, Bali Hilton, Inter-Continental, The Oberoi, Bali Imperial, etc. With its continually increasing number of bookings the company managed to negotiate very favorable contract rates with all major suppliers – passing on the benefits of its increasing buying power to its clients.
The next addition to the BALI.com program were Cruises & Yacht Charters from Bali. From the Balicruises.com web site visitors to Indonesia can book several scheduled cruises to see fierce dragons who have survived the Jurassic age on Komodo island, and to visit some of the ancient tribes and cultures of Indonesia. The more adventurous can even charter a state-of-the-art fishing vessel, a modern sailing ketch, or a traditional Buginese schooner with 3 to 18 cabins and experienced crew to visit more remote islands under their own schedule.
Since early 2001, Balivacations.com offers attractive vacation packages including top hotels, luxurious villas, cruises and boat charters, and return flights with SINGAPORE AIRLINES from the US. Clients from Europe are offered assistance to obtain the lowest priced air fares to Bali in all classes with a choice of popular airlines through Bali.com Ltd's European air fare specialists.
As early as 1995 BALI.com has been assisting investors Purchase Their Own Villa in Bali. Continually up-dated information is provided on the Baliproperties.com web site. By co-operating with international and local architects and developers the company helps investors find and purchase an outstanding villa in a good location as a second home or an attractive investment. Management Services are also offered for these villas, as well as Lease-Back Arrangements and the arrangement of short-term rentals to visitors to generate a regular return on the buyers investment if this is what he/she would like to achieve.
With its experience in villa improvements and property development on the island, Bali.com Ltd opened in 2003 a local representative office for the International Promotion of Balinese and Indonesian Products for home and hotel decoration, headed by Peter Rieger.
Non-Commercial Services of BALI.com Ltd
To assist all visitors to Bali and promote the island and its products in the international marketplace, BALI.com's Baliguide.com web site features "BALI TODAY – an Insider's Guide" which provides a wide range of continually up-dated, non-commercial information on what's happening in Bali. Another free service, BALI.com's "BALI travel FORUM" web site (Balitravelforum.com), is accessed since early 1997 by many thousands of actual and potential Bali visitors every month searching for other people's ideas and opinions on all that's going on. In July 2000, Balinews.com was launched, a web site pulling in real-time reports from hundreds of reputable international news sources and information services.
The Bali.com web site is a continually growing portal to the island with direct links to other web sites providing useful and up-to-date information on Bali, its background, history & culture, and to commercial web sites of local hotels, restaurants, museums & art galleries, operators of tourist attractions, newspapers, banks, hospitals, schools, charities, businesses & shops, etc.
Bali.com's Charity Program
Since the Year 2000 the company had been supporting several programs to help poor people in remote areas of Bali contributing between US$1,300 and US$1,800 every month. Regrettably, these programs had to be terminated after 9/11/2001. In early 2005 Bali.com Ltd started to support the "KEMBALI – Return to School" Program to help underpriviledged Balinese children to continue their school eduction.
