It was a humid morning in Uluwatu when I realised something: Bali isn’t just a holiday destination anymore — it’s a lifestyle investment.
I’d just left a beachfront villa viewing (think infinity pool, jungle views, and a coconut in hand) and was sipping strong Balinese coffee, when it hit me. This little island, long loved by backpackers and yogis, has quietly matured into one of the most exciting property markets in Southeast Asia. And here’s why it’s still top of my list in 2025.
From Canggu’s creative cafés and surf scene to Ubud’s tranquil rice terraces and healing retreats, Bali offers more than just palm trees and pretty sunsets. It’s a lifestyle destination — for remote workers, entrepreneurs, retirees, and anyone craving a slower, sunnier pace of life.
And people aren’t just visiting anymore — they’re staying.
That means demand for mid- to high-end rental properties is rising fast. Especially for stylish villas, well-managed condos, and short-term lets near hotspots.
Bali’s rental market remains one of the strongest in the region.
In 2025, well-located villas in areas like Berawa, Pererenan, and Bingin are still delivering 6–10% gross yields, with some luxury Airbnbs hitting even higher returns.
Entry prices are still relatively affordable:
🏡 2-bed villa (leasehold): Approx $120,000–$250,000
While Canggu is getting crowded, the new frontier is Uluwatu — home to clifftop beach clubs, five-star resorts, and a wave of luxury eco-villas now being snapped up by investors.
Here’s the deal: foreigners can’t own freehold land in Indonesia directly.
BUT — and it’s a big but — there are safe and legal structures to invest with confidence:
✅ Leasehold titles (30+20 year options)
✅ PMA company setup for business/investment use
✅ Nominee ownership (only with bulletproof contracts and legal guidance)
At IPA, we only work with trusted developers and lawyers to ensure everything’s above board. If you’re not sure where to start, just reach out — We have the best team to guide you through it.
Canggu and Seminyak are well-established, but if I were buying in 2025?
I’d be looking at:
These areas still have room for appreciation — and less competition for high-end rentals.
This isn’t just an investment — it’s a potential lifestyle upgrade.
Living in Bali means:
You don’t just buy bricks here — you buy freedom.
I’ve personally toured dozens of developments and work with on-the-ground experts to make sure our clients get the real deal — not the risky stuff. Whether you’re looking for a profitable Airbnb villa, a holiday home, or a place to retire, we’ve got options.
