How to Invest in Real Estate in Bali in 2025 — Step by Step Guide

Why Real Estate in Bali is a Promising Investment in 2025

Bali continues to attract investors due to its steady flow of tourists, growing infrastructure, and the opportunity to earn passive income in USD.

1. Year-Round Tourist Flow
Bali is visited throughout the year — both during high and low seasons. The most popular rental areas:

• Canggu
• Uluwatu
• Ubud
• Berawa

2. Rising Property Prices
Over the past 5 years, real estate prices in some areas have increased by 20–40%. The highest growth is seen in areas with well-developed infrastructure.
Expert tip: Consider investing in developing areas before infrastructure projects are completed — this increases potential property value.

3. Favorable Terms for Foreigners
Foreigners can purchase property through leasehold agreements (long-term lease for 25–30 years with extension rights). This is a legally approved form of ownership.

Step 1. Define Your Investment Goal

Before buying real estate in Bali, it’s important to understand your goal:

• Earning passive income through rental
• Personal use/residence
• Capital growth through future resale

Step 2. Choose a Reliable Developer and Project

Choosing a developer is a key step that determines not only the quality of the property but also your future profitability. In 2025, over 100 developers operate in Bali — only a few deserve investor trust.

What to look for in a project:

• Stage of completion (advantage — final stage)
• Availability of permits: IMB/PBG/SLF
• Ownership type: leasehold or PMA (for business use)
• Forecasted occupancy and payback period
• Management terms and partnerships with booking platforms

Step 3. Calculate Your Potential ROI

Before buying, evaluate:

• Average occupancy rates
• Average rental prices in the area
• Annual ROI
• Operating expenses

Example Calculation:
An investment of $160,000 brings about $16,000 per year (10% annually). The management company handles all operations.

Step 4. Ensure Legal Transparency

Real estate in Bali means investing in a foreign jurisdiction with its own rules. To avoid legal risks, it’s important to thoroughly review the property and all documents before signing.

Be sure to check:

• Building permits (IMB, PBG, or SLF) — confirm the legality of the structure
• Leasehold agreement — standard term is 25–30 years with a clearly stated right to extend
• Land category — allowed: residential or pariwisata; prohibited: green zone, agricultural
• Due diligence — independent property check to avoid double sales or legal disputes
• Collaboration format — ideally a tripartite agreement (landowner – developer – investor)

How top developers handle legal matters:

• PGD Aparthotel — provides a full document package before signing, ensures transparency and optional third-party legal review
• Mirah Development — has its own legal department, partners with international consulting firms
• Bali Villa Invest — processes leasehold via notary and supports the client throughout the deal
• BREIG (Oasis III) — openly shares deal structure, but early-stage contracts may involve pre-agreements, which require extra caution
• Alex Villas Group — offers a full cycle: from land verification to notarized lease and management

Step 5. Choose a Convenient Payment Option

Reliable developers offer:

• Full payment
• Installments for 1–2 years with a minimum 40–50% down payment
• 10% annual return on the first payment in long-term installment plans

Step 6. Transfer the Property to Management

A professional management company ensures:

• Guest check-in and service
• Booking and marketing
• Maintenance and repairs
• Financial reporting

Important: This turns your property into a source of passive income.
