The Best Areas to Invest in Bali Real Estate 2024

The Best Areas to Invest in Bali Real Estate 2024

  • What are the best areas in Bali to invest in?
  • How do we decide what's hot and what's not?
  • Is investing in Bali complicated?

These are the three most popular questions when it comes to investing in Bali real estate. And as one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, it's no wonder that there’s so much interest around the local property market.

Gone are the days of shaky property prices brought on by pandemic-led global uncertainty. Now, Bali's reputation as an investment hotspot has not only rebounded, but grown exponentially. As of 2024, property prices are on the rise. But that doesn't mean you can drop your hard earned cash anywhere and expect results.

Investing in Bali's most beautiful areas is easier than ever, and with relaxed foreign ownership laws and long-term visas, now is the time to strike.

Here are our top picks for the best areas to invest in Bali real estate.

Why invest in Bali real estate?

We've had the privilege of working with clients interested in Bali real estate for years now. 

During this time, we've seen the property market shift and transform. Now more than ever, investing in Bali real estate is the right call. 

Here are a few reasons why you should buy real estate in Bali.

1) Strong rental yields

With the rise of tourism in Bali, there’s a constant demand for short-term rentals. This means high occupancy rates and strong rental returns for property owners.

2) Affordable prices

Compared to other popular tourist destinations around the world, Bali's property prices are still relatively affordable. This presents a great opportunity for investors looking to enter the market who don’t hold a lot of pre-existing capital.

3) Relaxed foreign ownership laws

Around 2020/2021, Indonesia relaxed its foreign ownership laws, making it easier for foreigners to invest in Bali's real estate market.

4) Long-term visas

In response to the pandemic and its impact on tourism, the Indonesian government has implemented long-term visa options for foreign investors looking to stay in the country longer than the typical tourist visa allows.

How do we determine a Bali investment hotspot?

We have a confession. Your local team at Yolla Realty are total property data nerds.

We examine extensive rental property data from platforms like Airbnb and look at review ratings, prices, occupancy rates and potential rankings to gauge the popularity of various locations. Why do we do this?

Because having data is essential in such an emotionally charged property market.

The last thing you want is to be swept up in the hype of a particular suburb or area before establishing if it offers genuine potential for long-term capital growth and short-term rental returns.

What is the process for buying real estate in Bali?

Investing in your own country can be nerve-racking.

Investing in another country where you don't speak the language and aren't familiar with the laws and regulations can be downright terrifying. But as the saying goes, everything you ever wanted is on the other side of fear. Don't let it hold you back!

We've created a detailed 5-step breakdown on how to invest in Bali property, so you can feel confident and informed before making any decisions.

Check it out here and know that investing in Bali hotspots isn't as difficult as you may think... so long as you have a trustworthy team on the ground to help you out.

Top investment areas in Bali / updated July 2024

After consulting the data, talking with local and international property developers and closely watching the market, we've come up with our top picks for the best investment areas in Bali as of July 2024.

Uluwatu

Uluwatu is located on the Bukit Peninsula, which is known for its stunning ocean views, world-class surf breaks and high-end luxury resorts.

Uluwatu has been on the radar of surfers for literal decades, but it's now catching the eye of travellers and investors alike. There are some seriously big projects currently going on in Uluwatu, which is testament to the area's growth and potential.

Consider yourself a patient and discerning investor? We're tipping Uluwatu to become the new Canggu or Seminyak in terms of popularity and investment potential. 

From villas to land, off the plan apartments and trendy new eateries and bars, we're confident in saying that Uluwatu will be our most requested investment area in the next 5 years.

Bingin

Bingin Beach in Bali is emerging as a premier investment hotspot, particularly for those targeting the lucrative tourism and rental markets.

Renowned as an A+ surf and relaxation spot, Bingin attracts a diverse crowd of surfers, wellness enthusiasts and relaxation seekers from across the globe. Situated on the western coastline of the Bukit Peninsula in South Bali, it enjoys a strategic location between Balangan Beach and Padang Padang Beach.

But the area's appeal extends beyond surfing. There are a variety of activities and dining options that draw tourists year-round. This consistent influx of visitors drives the rising demand for rental properties, making Bingin a smart choice for property investors.

Given its natural attractions and well-developed amenities, Bingin is poised for sustained growth in property value, presenting a compelling opportunity for those looking to capitalise on Bali’s thriving tourism industry.

Nyang Nyang

Ever heard of Nyang Nyang Beach? It might just be the next big market on Bali’s Bukit Peninsula.

It’s a pristine 1.5-km stretch of untouched white sand that's perfect for those seeking tranquillity away from the crowds. Experienced surfers will relish its uncrowded waves, while beach and nature lovers can enjoy serene walks along the stunning coastline or along its picturesque cliffs.

With its secluded charm, natural beauty and crystal-clear waters, Nyang Nyang is poised to become the ultimate escape for travellers seeking an untouched version of Bali. Get in quick or risk missing out on this hidden gem that while still rugged has heaps of potential.

We can't wait to show the beautiful properties on offer there!

Canggu

If you've heard of Bali then you've most certainly heard of Canggu. This is one of, if not the trendiest area in Bali. It's practically become synonymous with digital nomads, surfers and all-round cool kids.

It's also earned a reputation as a solid investment area in Bali. Multi-villa properties and exclusive listings are popping up left, right and centre. And with the addition of new coworking spaces, cafes and restaurants catering to the growing number of expats and tourists, Canggu is proving to be a popular choice for investors looking to tap into the upscale rental market.

If we were to nominate the safest investment option in Bali, then Canggu would probably be it. The area has already established itself as a popular tourist destination with high-end clientele, and the demand for luxury accommodations continue to grow.

Ubud

The Ubud property market is booming, driven by its recent designation as a National Tourism Strategic Area.

This has spurred plenty of investment and development, making 2024 an ideal time for investors. Key opportunities lie in eco-friendly and sustainable properties that cater to the rising interest in eco-tourism and wellness, while unique accommodations like bamboo villas and treehouses are some of the property types gaining popularity.

We've seen steady growth in interest for these properties, highlighting their revenue potential. 

In saying all this, don't expect Ubud to reach the same investment levels as Canggu or Uluwatu, but for a more laidback and serene atmosphere, Ubud is definitely worth considering.

Seminyak

Until recently, Seminyak was the most popular place to invest in Bali, outshining other regions with its upscale appeal and comprehensive amenities.

Known for its premium shopping, dining and entertainment options, Seminyak has long been a top destination for tourists. While Canggu has recently taken over the crown as the "most popular" spot, Seminyak remains in high demand and is considered a safe and lucrative investment.

The area is bustling both day and night with plenty of activities catering to tourists. Given that Seminyak is often the first stop for many visitors to Bali, the demand for villas and homes here is consistently high and continues to rise.

Property values in Seminyak are among the most expensive in Bali, reflecting its enduring appeal. However, there are still plenty of options available that can meet various investment objectives.

Bali investment areas to keep an eye on...

In addition to the investment zones above, there are a few fringe areas that we believe are worth keeping an eye on for future investment potential. These include:

  • Sanur - Thinking about buying a house in Bali? Sanur, the island's original tourist destination, is experiencing a rejuvenation with new developments, upscale restaurants and cafes, and a growing number of expats.
  • Cemagi - Heralded as the new Canggu, Cemagi is a tranquil seaside area that's attracting investors looking for properties with breathtaking views.
  • Mengwi - This area offers affordable land and property prices, making it an ideal option for those on a budget or seeking to enter the market at a lower cost.
  • Nyani - Relatively untouched and still fairly undiscovered, Nyani offers a unique opportunity for investors looking to capitalise on the untouched beauty of Bali. With its stunning views and potential for eco-tourism development, this area is definitely one to watch.
