In recent years, abandoned and unfinished villas have begun appearing across South Bali, from Ungasan and Uluwatu to Jimbaran and Pererenan.

Through customary law—awig-awig and pararem—these communities are now actively influencing which investments proceed and which do not. This article explores why desa adat are pushing back, how customary law operates in practice, and what this shift means for investors and developers seeking long-term success in Bali.
