Land plots on the cliff above Kelingking Beach in Nusa Penida have begun appearing in property advertisements, even as the controversy surrounding the Bali glass elevator project remains unresolved.
Listings on several online marketplaces promote parcels of land overlooking the beach, marketed as suitable for villas, resorts, or restaurants with ocean and sunset views. Some posts state that the plots have already been sold.
The advertisements describe a range of specifications. One listing promotes a 561-square-metre plot priced at IDR 1.7 billion under the name “Project 9 Kelingking Beach View”.
It states that the land has a freehold certificate (SHM), an existing terrace, an eight-metre asphalt access road, and electricity infrastructure. The listing also highlights nearby diving locations and travel times: five minutes to Kelingking Beach, 35 minutes to Manta Point and Toyapakeh Pier, and 45 minutes to the district centre.
Klungkung Regency Confirms Sale Activity
Klungkung Regent I Made Satria confirmed that a cliff-top area in Bunga Mekar Village, Nusa Penida District, has entered the property market. He also stated that the Bali Regional People’s Representative Council (DPRD) Special Committee for Spatial Planning, Assets, and Permits (Pansus TRAP) is monitoring the situation.
“The location is next to Kelingking Beach. If I’m not mistaken, it has been purchased by a third party, divided into plots, and put on the market. This location has also been under the scrutiny of the Bali DPRD’s Special Committee for TRAP,” Satria said.

He emphasised that the focus of the authorities is the condition of the cliff rather than the sale itself.
“In my opinion, the issue isn’t the sale of the property. It’s the environmental destruction caused by the cliff demolition. This demolition has been underway for a long time. I will immediately summon the owner to ask for an explanation as to whether they have obtained a permit for the cliff demolition,” he stated.
The rising number of listings appears as the Bali Provincial Government continues to enforce an earlier order concerning the Kelingking Beach glass elevator project.
Bali Governor Wayan Koster previously instructed the investors to dismantle all structures associated with the IDR 200 billion development after identifying regulatory violations.
The provincial authorities have scheduled a series of three warning letters to ensure compliance. If the investors do not complete the demolition within six months, the provincial government and the Klungkung Regency Government will take over the process.
Governor Koster has also required the developer to restore the site’s spatial and environmental condition once the structures have been removed. The deadline for restoration is three months after the demolition is completed.
