The areas
I only work on the Bukit. Here's how the four areas differ, and which of my homes are in each.
Quiet lanes, real neighbourhood
Pecatu is the village that covers much of the western Bukit. Away from the cliff-front, it's residential streets, local warungs and family compounds, a few minutes from Nyang Nyang and central Uluwatu.
You get more house for your money here, and it's where most of my one- and two-bedroom villas are.
Best for: longer stays, remote workers, couples who want calm.

Cliffs, views and space
The clifftop around Uluwatu Temple has dramatic ocean views, some of the best sunsets on the island, and bigger villas with more land around them.
It's more spread out than Bingin, so you'll ride more, but you get space and the view.
Best for: families, bigger groups, people who want views.
My homes here
The village with the surf
Bingin is the Bukit's most characterful neighbourhood: a proper village with good cafés and warungs, independent shops and a world-class wave at the bottom of the cliff.
The roads are narrow and the beach is a lot of stairs, but for surfers and anyone who wants local life, it's hard to beat.
Best for: surfers, walkers, people who want a village feel.

The middle ground
Padang Padang sits between Bingin and Uluwatu in both location and feel. It has one of the easier beaches to reach on the Bukit and a growing café scene, without the resort feel of the clifftop.
Best for: families, beach swimmers.
My homes here
The good ones on the Bukit rarely make it to the Facebook groups. They go to whoever's already on my list.
One email when something opens up. That's it.When a home comes free, you'll hear from me first. If you're after something specific, WhatsApp me and tell me what it is.
