Why Investing in Bali Villas Can Deliver Up to 25% ROI

The word “Bali” often sparks images of tropical escapes and sunset cocktails — but for savvy investors, it also represents one of the most promising property markets in the world.

In the past decade, Bali has evolved from a tourism hotspot into a serious investment destination, attracting those looking for lifestyle and long-term financial returns.

At Bali Spaces, we’ve seen it first-hand: more Australians and international investors are recognising that the same island they visit for a getaway is also capable of delivering annual returns of up to 25% through smart, fully managed villa investments.

1. A Market Built on Global Demand

Bali isn’t just a holiday destination; it’s a global brand. In 2024, the island welcomed more than 7 million tourists, and forecasts predict that number could surpass 10 million by 2026.

That steady inflow of visitors fuels ongoing demand for private villa accommodation. While hotels cater to tourists, villas attract travellers — people seeking privacy, design, and connection.

This shift from hotels to villas underpins Bali’s strong ROI potential. High occupancy rates, strong nightly returns, and repeat visitors have turned villas into high-performing, cash-flowing assets.

2. How ROI Reaches 20–25% — The Numbers That Matter

When investors hear “25% ROI,” it sounds almost too good to be true. But in Bali, those numbers are driven by fundamentals — not hype.
‍

For example, a $155,000 USD villa can generate $38,000–$40,000 USD NET per year, delivering a 22–25% ROI — all while appreciating in value.

3. The Turnkey Advantage: Build, Manage, Earn

At Bali Spaces, we operate on a developer + operator model, meaning we handle every stage — from design and build to management and reporting.

Our investors enjoy hands-free income through:

1. Design + Build: Luxury villas built to market demand
   
   
2. Furnishing + Styling: Ready-to-rent presentation
   
   
3. Marketing + Operations: Professional guest management and listings
   
   
4. Ongoing Maintenance: Consistent performance, minimal hassle
   
   

It’s the smart way to build a property portfolio abroad — and enjoy it personally when you choose.

4. Infrastructure Boom = Growth

Massive infrastructure upgrades are fuelling long-term appreciation. The $2.5 billion airport expansion and planned urban rail project will connect Denpasar to new investment zones like Uluwatu and Pererenan.

As accessibility improves, property values follow. These developments are already driving villa appreciation at 13% year-on-year, creating the perfect storm of yield and growth.

5. Where the Smart Money Is Going

Not all areas perform equally.

• Pererenan: High design standards, premium rates, 75–85% occupancy.
  
  
• Uluwatu: Ocean-view luxury, limited land, 20–23% ROI potential.
  
  
• Padang Padang: Boutique charm and consistent yield from wellness tourism.
  
  

Our developments focus on these prime areas — balancing lifestyle appeal with financial performance.

6. Real Investor Example

One of our clients purchased a 2-bedroom villa in Uluwatu for $145,000 USD. Within 12 months, it produced $36,000 USD NET income, equating to a 25% ROI.

Their villa operates year-round — and doubles as a personal retreat when they visit.

Final Thoughts

Bali continues to outperform expectations, combining affordability, yield, and global appeal.

Whether you’re a first-time investor or expanding your portfolio, the opportunity is clear:
A fully managed villa in Bali can deliver consistent, high returns — all while aligning with a lifestyle worth investing in.
