Bali is the most visited island in the Indonesian archipelago. Beyond its natural beauty, its central position in Southeast Asia gives it a decisive edge in drawing large numbers of tourists all year round. Its fast-growing economy offers foreign investors a real opportunity through rental property.
Indonesia is the largest economy in Southeast Asia. With a GDP of 22,139 trillion IDR in 2024 and steady growth of around 5%, the country is drawing an ever-growing number of investors, a momentum fuelled by booming tourism, rapid urbanisation and rising investment (+4.61% in 2024, a six-year high). The government keeps its budget in balance (deficit contained at 2.29% of GDP), inflation is under control (2.5% in 2024) and the central bank adjusts its monetary policy in line with market stability. A unique opportunity to diversify your assets in a destination with strong potential.
PoliticsA stable climate, favourable to investors
Since October 2024, Indonesia has been led by President Prabowo Subianto and his Vice-President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, elected in the first round with a record 96.2 million votes. His party, Gerindra, nonetheless secured only 13.2% of the legislative seats, giving way to a diverse political coalition. Despite elections marked by change, the political climate remains stable, ensuring a favourable environment for investors. The country maintains its policy of non-alignment between the United States and China, while preserving close economic ties with Beijing. This stability, coupled with sustained growth and an openness to foreign investment, makes Indonesia a key destination.
LegislationSecure legal solutions
In Bali, foreigners cannot directly own a property in full ownership (freehold). Several legal solutions exist: the long-term right of use (Hak Pakai) allows leasing for up to 80 renewable years; the leasehold, often concluded for 25 to 30 renewable years; or the creation of a local company (PT PMA) to purchase under certain conditions. Buying through an Indonesian nominee is sometimes practised but carries legal risks. It is essential to structure your investment carefully and to be guided by a local expert in property law.
TransportA network undergoing full modernisation
Getting around is done mainly by scooter, car or taxi, as public transport is not well developed. Traffic can be heavy, particularly in tourist areas such as Kuta, Seminyak and Ubud. To modernise its network, Bali has begun building its first metro line, scheduled for 2027, which will connect Ngurah Rai International Airport to key tourist hubs and cut travel times. In the meantime, apps such as Gojek and Grab are popular options. Investors should factor in accessibility and future infrastructure developments to maximise the returns on their properties.
EnvironmentA fragile ecosystem to preserve
Bali is renowned for its beaches, its terraced rice paddies and its unique biodiversity. The rise of tourism and urbanisation has brought challenges (waste, plastic pollution, pressure on water). The Balinese government has introduced a ban on single-use plastics, recycling programmes, the promotion of renewable energy, as well as coral reef restoration and forest preservation projects. Investors favour sustainable and eco-responsible construction, a major asset for the long-term value of properties.
Bali is an island of exceptional natural heritage, with beaches, tropical forests and UNESCO-listed rice terraces. The rapid growth of tourism and urban development has heightened environmental challenges: plastic pollution, waste management and pressure on water resources.
Real estate development must now incorporate these concerns by favouring sustainable construction, ecological materials and water management solutions, essential to preserving the natural setting and ensuring a lasting investment.
In response to these challenges, Bali has developed recycling and beach-cleaning initiatives and is investing in renewable energy, solar and hydro farms, to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels.
