This research explores tropical villa design approaches in Bali, focusing on space efficiency, thermal comfort, and the application of local wisdom within Indonesia’s tropical climate. Between 2020 and 2025, the growth of tourism and property industries in Bali has significantly increased, often leading to villa designs that overlook local sustainability principles. This study uses a qualitative approach through case studies and literature review of tropical villas that successfully integrate these principles. Data was collected through field observations, interviews, and document analysis. The findings show that design approaches emphasizing space efficiency, local materials, and Balinese architectural elements can enhance thermal comfort while reinforcing local identity in tropical villa design.
