Most of Cemagi is protected green belt where villas are not allowed. Only a small share of land is zoned for building, and that is what keeps the rice-field views open.
Cemagi sits on Bali's southwest coast, between Canggu and Tanah Lot, about ten minutes from Canggu. It is quieter than its neighbours, and a large part of the reason is zoning. ## Green zone and yellow zone Bali's regional planning divides land into zones. In Cemagi, most land is **green zone**: protected agricultural land, mainly rice fields, where villa development is not permitted. Only a small share is **yellow zone**, the classification that allows residential building. By our estimate, roughly 85 percent of Cemagi is green zone and roughly 15 percent is buildable. ## What that means for a villa owner **The view stays.** The Cemagi Collection is built on yellow-zone land that backs onto protected green belt. The rice fields and sunsets behind the villas cannot be built over, because the land behind them is not zoned for it. **Supply stays tight.** When most of an area cannot be developed, the number of villas that can ever be built there is limited. Demand from long-stay guests and buyers keeps rising, but the supply of buildable plots does not. **The area keeps its character.** Cemagi's appeal is the mix of beach, rice fields and space. Zoning protects that mix, which is what guests pay for. ## Always check the zoning If you are looking at any plot in Bali, confirm its zoning before anything else. Building on land that is not zoned for it can stop a project entirely. The Cemagi Collection sits on land zoned for residential use and is already under construction.
