Curated real estate · Bali

Bali has a lot of villas. Not all of them are worth your time.

Where we work

Six areas, and they are not interchangeable.

Each area has its own pace, buyer and rental pattern. The right one depends on what you want the property to do.

Why Indonesia

Bali does not have an off-season. It has a quieter one.

Unlike seasonal destinations such as Ibiza or Mykonos, Bali generates rental demand all year round.

A market worth taking seriously.

Indonesia, and particularly Bali, is one of the strongest-performing real estate markets in the world for foreign investors. The short version of the case is on the right — open any of them for the longer one.

Foreign nationals can legally acquire property through leasehold agreements, a framework fully recognised under Indonesian law. Terms typically run 25 to 30 years, extendable only where the extension is written into the original contract, never automatic. No local partner or intermediary is required, and the transaction is formalised before a notary.

Buying at construction stage means entering before prices reflect the finished asset. Appreciation of roughly 20–30% by completion has been observed on well-located projects — a directional market norm, not a guaranteed return. Payments are staged against construction milestones, typically across a 9 to 18-month build.

A Second Home Visa route, from a bank deposit of around $130K, can pair a purchase with multi-year Indonesian residency. It is a separate process to the property transaction and we will connect you with the licensed professionals who handle it.
