Anantara Dragon

A dragon-shaped building on Bali's volcanic coastline

Anantara Dragon stretches along Seseh beach in the shape of a mythical reptile, visible from aerial views. British architect John Dawes designed this distinctive silhouette, a first for residential resorts in Bali. The project delivers more than 200 units ranging from 52.5 to 160 square meters, all facing the Indian Ocean. Completion is scheduled for Q2 2027. Taryan Development offers the properties under leasehold tenure, the standard structure for foreign buyers in Indonesia.

Black sand beach, 15 minutes from Canggu

The complex sits directly on Seseh's volcanic black sand beach, known for consistent surf breaks and dramatic sunsets. Canggu, with its cafes, coworking spaces and nightlife, is a 15-minute ride away. Ngurah Rai International Airport takes roughly one hour by car, placing the project within an established tourism corridor. Bali's west coast attracts long-stay visitors who split time between beach activities and remote work. This location offers both seclusion and easy access to the island's most active districts.

Cocoon architecture with local materials

John Dawes describes his approach as "cocoon" design, blending organic curves with Indonesian natural materials. Interiors feature local wood, volcanic stone and handwoven textiles that reference Balinese craft traditions. Units are oriented to capture natural light while minimizing heat gain from the tropical sun. Balconies and terraces provide unobstructed views of both sunrise and sunset over the ocean. This hybrid aesthetic targets buyers seeking contemporary comfort without generic resort finishes.

Three infinity pools and Anantara spa facilities

The resort includes three infinity pools positioned to merge visually with the Indian Ocean horizon. An Anantara spa offers treatments rooted in Balinese wellness traditions, supported by a fully equipped fitness center and dedicated yoga and meditation studios. A beach lounge provides direct sand access, while an on-site surf school caters to beginners and experienced riders. Two all-day restaurants and two bars handle dining needs without leaving the property. A private helipad allows arrivals from Denpasar or neighboring islands for guests who prefer to skip road traffic.

Coworking spaces for digital nomads

The project integrates coworking areas and conference rooms, a configuration aimed at remote workers and entrepreneurs based in Bali. This demographic has grown significantly since 2020, seeking properties that combine residential comfort with professional infrastructure. The workspaces are air-conditioned and fiber-connected, addressing a gap common in traditional beach resorts. For investors, this expands the tenant pool beyond short-term holiday guests. The inclusion of business facilities positions Anantara Dragon as a hybrid product in a market increasingly shaped by location-independent professionals.

Buyer profile and leasehold structure

Leasehold tenure is standard for foreign buyers in Bali, where freehold ownership requires a local legal entity. Prices start around AED 1.1 million for compact units and reach AED 4.1 million for 160 sqm residences. This range targets European, Australian and Middle Eastern investors familiar with resort property markets. Anantara's hotel management offers a rental program with integrated services, simplifying operations for absentee owners. Lease duration and renewal terms should be verified directly with Taryan Development before committing to a purchase.
