About Des Res Bali
Des Res Bali is a Three Word Agency publication dedicated to showcasing the island’s most distinctive homes, hotels, and hideaways.
We don’t just list properties—we frame them. Through cinematic films, editorial photography, and sharp, well-crafted writing, Des Res Bali approaches real estate the way a magazine would: less catalogue, more culture. Each space is more than walls and square footage. It’s design thinking, architecture, and atmosphere—the details that make it remarkable.
A Fresh, Editorial Perspective on Bali Real Estate
Bali’s property market is on fire at the moment, but the way it’s presented hasn’t always done justice to the island’s design culture. Cookie-cutter villa listings and lifestyle influencer fluff miss the bigger picture: Bali is a design destination in its own right, with architecture and interiors as diverse and evolving as anywhere in the world.
Des Res Bali was created to capture the market through a new lens. We curate the properties that feel unique, refined, and design-driven, while giving them the storytelling treatment they deserve. Our platform blends property listings with editorial journalism and visual culture—a hybrid of real estate, design magazine, and cultural archive.
Our Background
Behind Des Res Bali is Three Word Agency, a British-American-led creative studio based in Bali. Our team brings decades of experience across film, publishing, advertising, and branding, honed in cities like London, Manchester, San Francisco, and Hollywood. We’ve worked in television, editorial, copywriting, and design—and we’ve brought that expertise to Bali to reimagine how real estate can look and feel.
We live here. We know the island. And we believe Bali deserves better than the ordinary.
What We’re Not
- We’re not agents. No commissions, no hard sell.
- We’re not lifestyle influencers.
- We’re not interested in every villa with an infinity pool (don’t get us wrong, infinity pools are great, but they don’t make a great space on their own.)
What We Are
We’re a curated hub: part property platform, part editorial journal, part design archive. We work with property owners, real estate agents, architects, and buyers who value quality, creativity, and a sense of place.
At Des Res Bali, a property is never “just another listing.” It’s a chance to tell a story about architecture, interiors, and life in Bali.
Our Launch Phase
Right now, we’re offering complimentary listing spots for property owners who want to showcase distinctive, design-forward homes. If your villa or project feels like it’s got that special something that makes it magic, we’d love to hear from you!
