The last two years have been tough both financially and morally: we went through a global pandemic and a lot of businesses went bankrupt. However, this year is a good one to start investing in Bali’s real estate property. Here we have our select list of the best places in bali for villa investment.
It is expected that there will be a high rise in the housing market this year, compared to the year before, especially in Bali. Housing prices are rising which proves that the ROI (Return On Investment) in Bali’s real estate market is growing as well: the property that you purchased is becoming more and more expensive every single year.
More to it, this island is beautiful in every way: it has beautiful nature, flora, beaches, amazing food, and a highly spiritual local culture. However, there are specific regions that are more popular among investors for several reasons. Also, as the popularity of Bali’s island is pretty recent, the real estate demand has increased as well, thus you will find a wide selection of new villa development in the area.
Best Areas For Investment in Bali:
Canggu
Canggu is definitely the most popular neighbourhood for investment on the island of Bali. In recent years, the real estate property value here has increased significantly and has been growing ever since. More to it, in this area, you will find a rich mix of culture and lifestyle.
Another benefit of Canggu is that it is the southernmost destination, therefore, it attracts most of the tourists and investors as well. Also, recently some very successful amenities and establishments have been developed in the area, such as Finns Recreation Club and Finns Beach Club.
Pererenan
Pretty close to Echo Beach, the area of Pererenan attracts people who prefer peace and silence over loud neighbours and active nightlife close to home. It also has fewer amenities and attraction points than Canggu does, but a silent neighbourhood has its clientele who prefer it that way.
Most real estate objects here are villas, with only a few hotels in the area. More to it, this neighbourhood still has a lot of land that is not covered by buildings, thus there is quite a lot of space for future real estate object development.
Seminyak
Seminyak is the oldest resort town of Bali and has gained a reputation for being a sophisticated area, thus it is also one of the most expensive neighbourhoods on the island as well that attracts a more wealthy and luxurious crowd.
Here you will find a very active nightlife and streets filled with cafes, restaurants, bakeries, and luxurious shops. However, even though Seminyak is famous for its liveliness, most villas are located in smaller, more distant streets that isolate the houses from any noise. The area is highly popular among tourists because it can offer a lot of high-end amenities.
Bukit/Uluwatu
Bukit/Uluwatu area has been developing very fast, reaching almost the same level of popularity as Canggu. The biggest charm of this location is that it is basically a surfer’s paradise. As the development of the area improves over time, it gets more and more popular between tourists and investors.
Bukit/Uluwatu has the most beautiful beaches and will astonish you with its local flora and fauna. One of the greatest benefits of investing in a villa in this location – is that it often comes with the ocean view that increases the property value, which is very important if you are planning to rent out the property for vacationers.
Ubud
Ubud is famous because of its spirituality and big cultural heritage, thus it attracts a lot of people who are interested in living mindfulness-enriched life: art lovers, practitioners of yoga and meditation, vegetarians, and vegans.
Ubud has a strong international community, as a lot of vacationers, tourists, or digital nomads came here, simply fell in love with the location, and haven’t left since. The area is a famous honeymoon destination as well, especially in the Tegallalang where the villas have a lot of privacy because of the jungle that is surrounding them.
Sanur
The area of Sanur is beloved by families that have children because the location is just perfect for a vacation, investment, or residence. Although Sanur is not as sophisticated as Seminyak, it still offers a pretty mature atmosphere and a chance to enjoy a bit calmer but still active nightlife of Bali.
One of the biggest pros of the area is that it is one of the not many destinations on the island and gives you the opportunity to reach the beach by foot, which makes it quite popular among vacationers. It is also a popular crossing point for those travelling to Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan.
Seseh
Even though Seseh is very close to Canggu, its stage of development is far from advanced, thus this area is much more quiet. Here you’ll see uncountable rice fields with no buildings on them, thus the area is good for an early bird investment, as it is very close-by to one of the most visited areas of Bali.
The beachfront does not have a lot of cafes and restaurants, yet it still has a lot of free space for future real estate development, which is a huge plus for those thinking of a villa investment in Bali.
