Pt. Avilla, the developers behind Le Jardin Boutique Villas have recently launched Kokonut Suites, a selection of quality suites aimed at all sectors of the market who want quality at an affordable price. Nothing unique in that, except now, buyers can pay in easy monthly installments over 18 months: Interest Free! (from just US$2,500 per month).
With a strong track record in sales and marketing and completed projects with high occupancy levels, potential investors may view this development as a “win – win” scenario.
Located in fashionable Seminyak, there is easy access to the vibrant eateries and bars that abound the area.
Kokonut Suites is designed in a modern tropical style with a delightfully Balinese backdrop of ricefields and ( as the name suggests ) coconut trees. Owners may relax and enjoy the full hotel services provided, whether lounging by the 160 m2 pool, chilling at the spa or working out at the gym.
Henry Setiono, spokesman for the project comments that the company are so confident of the quality on offer that they are prepared to offer interested parties a free two night stay at Le Jardin Boutique Villas to personally experience the professionalism and service, AVILLA provides.
With prices starting at USD 50,000 for a one bed- room suite and project completion slated for Spring 2008, Kokonut Suites are sure to sell out quickly.
THE DYNAMIC THAT IS BALI REAL ESTATE IS CONTINUOUSLY AIMING TO OFFER ITS MARKET EVER MORE CREATIVE WAYS TO ACQUIRE A SLICE.
