BUILDING IN BALI
FAQS

Building in Bali is cheaper than most western countries when comparing like-for-like properties. Prices are calculated per square metre of build area, with a typical villa costing $500-$1,000 (USD) per square metre. The quality of materials will influence the cost, but most builds fall within this price bracket.

As the cost of building in Bali directly relates to the size of the villa, calculating the cost of a build will depend on the size required. Larger villas will cost more than smaller villas.

Purchasing land is another cost that most clients need to consider. Land prices vary throughout the island, with the plots in popular areas or near to beaches attracting the highest prices. Find out more about leasehold, freehold and the cost of buying land in Bali here.

When calculating the total cost of building in Bali, it is important to also consider furnishing. Larger villas require more furniture, which increases the overall construction cost. The average cost of furnishings normally ranges from $10,000 to $40,000 USD.

Our popular hut style villas start at just $170,000 USD. You can find more information about villa prices on our development page, which has a range of different build sizes from 100 sqm to 370 sqm.  Our architects can also build unique villa based on your specific requirements.

Generally, when comparing similar build sizes and materials, it is cheaper to build in Bali then in most western countries. However, prices in other South East Asian countries, such as Thailand, or even other areas of Indonesia can be cheaper than Bali, but typically have a less profitable return on investment.

Land prices vary greatly throughout the island. The cheapest properties can be found along the north of the island and in rural areas, whilst popular locations such as Canggu, Seminyak and Uluwatu cost more. Beachfront villas also attract premium prices.

Yes, foreigners can buy property in Bali, but there are rules and regulations that need to be followed. Within Indonesia, foreigners can only purchase a villa under a leasehold agreement, whereas Indonesian citizens can buy freehold. 

What is the difference between leasehold and freehold villas?

  • Freehold: You own the rights to the land indefinitely. As a freehold owner, you can lease the property.
  • Leasehold: You do not own the property, but lease it from the owner for a period of time. A lease typically lasts 25-30 years, with the option to extend.

For professional advice on the latest rules for buying and investing in Bali, we can put you in touch with local legal professionals.

We have a collection of designs and builds on our portfolio page, which provide an overview of some our past projects.

You can find a case study of a recent build called Aura Villas. This page provides a great overview of the building process, from the initial land acquisition, various stages of construction, and professional villa management to ensure the villa has high returns for our client.

There are many areas in Bali that can deliver exceptional returns on investment, with each area offering its own unique attractions and benefits. Some of the most popular areas in Bali for our clients include:

  • Pererenan
  • Canggu
  • Berawa
  • Nyanyi
  • Seminyak
  • Uluwatu
  • Ubud 

Areas with popular attractions nearby, such as beach clubs and restaurants, tend to attract high numbers of tourists, which is ideal for holiday rentals. For advice on popular locations to buy land in Bali, get in touch.

The average time to build a villa typically ranges from 6 months to 1 year. The size of a build and number of levels are primary factors in build time. Smaller builds, such as our popular hut design, can be completed in as little as 3 – 5 months.

  1. Land Purchase 
  2. Architectural Design

Bali is a popular location for property investors. The tropical island has been named as the best travel destination in the world on several occasions, resulting in millions of holidaymakers arriving every year.

Whilst there are hotels available, most travellers opt for the benefits of a villa, with a private pool, tropical garden and ample space to relax. It is these short term rentals that make Bali a very lucrative location to invest in property. 

Our villa management services make it easy for international buyers to invest in Bali property and minimise the workload of dealing with client communication, check-ins, laundry and property maintenance.

We have included a ROI estimation on each of our development pages, which will provide a greater insight into the expected financial returns based on different levels of occupancy. For example, The Luxe villa can achieve an annual ROI of 21% with a high level of occupancy.

The villa size you choose is influenced by a clients budget, requirements and land size. 

Bigger budgets can afford a larger villa. Generally, 3 and 4 bedroom villas perform better than smaller villas as short term holiday rentals, and can result in the highest return on investment.

Not all villas are for investment purposes, as many clients build a villa as their main residence. In this case, each individual client is likely to have their own preference, whether that is more space dedicated to the master bedroom, or larger entertainment/relaxation areas.

The size of land available to build a new villa is one of the main restrictions when building a villa. Generally, villas in Bali are no more than 3 levels high, and a pool is highly recommended in the tropical heat. Our architects are experts at maximising space, and can create the perfect design for your plot.
