Top 5 Questions People Ask About Investing in Bali
Bali continues to attract investors from around the world, not just for its lifestyle appeal, but for its strong rental demand and long-term growth potential. With a wide range of opportunities available, it’s natural to have questions before taking the next step. In this guide, we answer the five most common questions people ask about investing in Bali, from costs and returns to the best locations and how the buying process works.
Is Bali a safe place to invest?
Bali continues to be one of the strongest lifestyle-investment markets in Southeast Asia. With consistent tourism demand, clear leasehold structures, and strong ROI potential, it remains both a safe and exciting option for investors.
Most buyers opt for 25–35 year leaseholds, which offer a lower entry price and attractive returns, particularly in key hotspots. As with any investment, it’s essential to work with a trusted, licensed agency and well-established notaries to ensure a smooth and secure transaction.
How much does it cost to buy a villa?
Boutique, high-quality one-bedroom villas typically start from around $89,000–$200,000 USD, while luxury two- to three-bedroom villas range from $200,000 to $450,000+ USD, depending on location and level of finish. Areas such as Bingin, Canggu, Uluwatu, and Pererenan remain in high demand, offering some of the strongest rental performance on the island.
What ROI can I expect?
Most clients achieve 12–15% net ROI, with some projects performing even higher during peak seasons. Key factors include thoughtful design, premium amenities (such as saunas, jacuzzis, and cold plunges), professional property management, and, most importantly, the right location. Bali’s year-round tourism supports consistent occupancy and strong passive income potential.
How does the buying process work?
