5 Things You Should Check Monthly in Your Villa Property

Owning a villa is a valuable investment—whether it's a personal getaway or a luxury rental property. But to ensure the property maintains its quality, safety, and value, consistent maintenance is essential. One of the most important steps in villa management is conducting monthly inspections.

In this article, we’ll walk you through 5 key things you should check every month in your villa to keep it in top shape and guest-ready at all times.


1. Water System & Plumbing

Plumbing issues are some of the most common and costly problems in any property. That's why checking your water system every month should be at the top of your list. Inspect faucets, pipes, showers, drains, and water heaters.

Why it matters:
Even a small leak can lead to serious structural damage, mold growth, and inflated water bills. In tropical climates like Bali or Lombok, high humidity can make plumbing issues worse over time.

What to check:

  • Ensure water pressure is normal and stable
  • Look under sinks and toilets for hidden leaks
  • Clean showerheads and faucet filters from scale buildup
  • Check septic tank systems (every 3–6 months)

2. Electrical System & Lighting

A reliable electrical system is essential for comfort and safety. Each month, inspect your MCB panel, light switches, outlets, and lighting fixtures—both inside and outside the villa.

Why it matters:
Faulty wiring or broken lighting can lead to safety hazards and guest complaints. Plus, good outdoor lighting is key for guest experience and nighttime security.

What to check:

  • Test the main MCB and breakers to avoid overload
  • Replace any non-functional lights, especially around entrances
  • Inspect for loose wires, damaged sockets, or exposed cables
  • Check major appliances like AC units and water pumps

3. Furniture & Interior Condition

The condition of your villa’s interior directly affects how guests feel during their stay. Monthly inspections help keep your furniture clean, damage-free, and visually appealing.

Why it matters:
Worn-out furniture, musty odors, or dusty surfaces can damage your reputation—especially in the age of online reviews. High-quality interiors also raise your property’s rental value.

What to check:

  • Look for signs of termites or rot on wooden furniture
  • Clean sofas, beds, and cushions to prevent mold and dust
  • Replace worn linens and upholstery
  • Touch up chipped paint or damaged decorative elements

4. Garden & Outdoor Areas

Your villa’s exterior is the first thing guests see—and often what makes the strongest impression. Regular outdoor maintenance helps preserve both aesthetics and function.

Why it matters:
Overgrown plants, slippery walkways, or dirty pools can make your villa seem neglected. Outdoor areas in tropical climates are also prone to becoming mosquito breeding grounds.

What to check:

  • Trim lawns and remove weeds or dead plants
  • Clear leaves and debris from pathways and drains
  • Test pool water quality, pH levels, and filtration systems
  • Apply eco-friendly pest control to prevent mosquito buildup

5. Security Systems

Security should never be overlooked, especially in premium properties. Make sure your villa’s safety features are fully functional and regularly reviewed.

Why it matters:
A secure property protects both your investment and your guests. Broken cameras or faulty locks can quickly lead to bad reviews or worse—real incidents.

What to check:

  • Ensure CCTV cameras are recording properly
  • Inspect locks and keys on all doors and windows
  • Test alarm systems, motion sensors, or gate automation
  • Regularly review security footage for anything unusual

Bonus Tip: Document Everything

It’s not just about checking—it’s about tracking.

Use a simple spreadsheet or a property management app to document your monthly inspections. This is especially useful if your villa is managed remotely or by a third-party team.
