Bali is themost popular tourist island in the Indonesian archipelago. In addition to its natural beauty, its central position in Southeast Asia gives it a key advantage in attracting large numbers of tourists all year round. The island's economy is booming, and foreign investors can take advantage of this by investing inrental property.
Indonesia is Southeast Asia's leading economy and one of the most promising emerging markets. With a GDP of IDR 22,139 trillion in 2024 and stable growth of around 5%, the country is attracting more and more investors. The government is keeping its budget under control, with a deficit limited to 2.29% of GDP, and continues to encourage a business-friendly environment. Inflation is under control (2.5% in 2024) and the Central Bank adjusts its monetary policy in line with market stability.
Thanks to its sustained growth, booming markets and attractiveness for real estate investment, Indonesia represents a unique opportunity to diversify one's wealth in a high-potential destination.
Since October 2024, Indonesia has been ruled by President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, who was elected in the first round with a record 96.2 million votes. However, his party, Gerindra, took only 13.2% of the legislative seats, making way for a diverse political coalition.
Despite elections marked by changes, the political climate remains stable, ensuring a favorable framework for investors. The country maintains its policy of non-alignment between the USA and China, while maintaining close economic relations with Beijing. This political stability, coupled with sustained economic growth and openness to foreign investment, makes Indonesia a key destination for property investment and asset diversification.
In Bali, foreigners are not allowed to own property outright(freehold). However, there are several legal solutions for investing in Bali. A long-term leasehold (Hak Pakai) allows you to rent a property for up to 80 years, with the possibility of renewal. Leaseholds, often concluded for 25 to 30 years and renewable, are another common option.
Investors can also set up a local company (PT PMA), enabling them to purchase property under certain conditions. Buying via an Indonesian nominee is sometimes practiced, but presents legal risks.
To ensure the security of your purchase, it is essential to structure your investment properly, and to be accompanied by a local expert in real estate law.
Bali is an island where travel is mainly by scooter, car or cab, with little public transport. Traffic can be heavy, especially in tourist areas such as Kuta, Seminyak and Ubud. To modernize its network, Bali has launched the construction of its first metro line, designed to relieve congestion on the main roads and facilitate mobility for residents and tourists alike. This ambitious project, scheduled for 2027, will link Ngurah Rai International Airport to key tourist centers, reducing travel times.
In the meantime, apps like Gojek and Grab are popular solutions for getting around easily. Investors need to consider accessibility and future infrastructure developments to maximize the profitability of their properties.
Bali is an island paradise renowned for its beaches, rice terraces and unique biodiversity. However, booming tourism and rapid urbanization have created major environmental challenges, including waste management, plastic pollution and pressure on water resources. In response, the Balinese government has introduced initiatives such as a ban on single-use plastics, recycling programs and the promotion of renewable energies.
In addition, projects to restore coral reefs and preserve tropical forests are underway to protect the island's fragile ecosystem. Investors need to integrate these issues into their projects, giving priority to sustainable and eco-responsible construction, a major asset for the long-term value of real estate in Bali.
