Top-5 Locations to Hunt for a Villa for Sale in Bali in 2022

How much does a villa in Bali cost to buy?

A villa in Bali costs on average from $250,000 to a few million depending on location, number of bedrooms, amenities, quality of the build, and for how many years you will own it. A 2 or 3-bedroom villa for sale in Canggu, Seminyak, Uluwatu, or other popular areas will be around $400,000-$800,000 for 25 to 35 years.

Can foreigners buy a villa in Bali?

Foreign home buyers and investors can legally buy a villa in Bali and own it for up to 80 years under a leasehold agreement (Hak Sewa) with the owner or under a freehold agreement (Hak Pakai or HGB) via a foreign-owned company in Bali (PT PMA) that requires larger investments in pre-paid capital (around $700,000). 

The company setup process takes time and patience and requires the assistance of a competent agent as the Indonesian legal system and ownership titles are complex and unfamiliar to westerners. Buying a villa in Bali with Ilot Property, you sign a leasehold contract and step into a stress- and hassle-free process as we can guarantee the safety and legality of the property.

#1 Buy a Villa for sale in Canggu and Umalas for Best ROI

Canggu real estate offers plenty of villas, apartments, and commercial properties for sale. The Canggu area is perfect for young active people loving to socialize, shop, surf, and live in the middle of the buzz. It is also quite expensive to rent or buy a villa for sale and this is why increasingly families and ex-pats are moving to Umalas.

Umalas still retains its village-like charm. Rice field views, peace, and tranquility merge with modern villas and the buzz of life on the fringe of Canggu. Umalas has great appeal for families, ex-pats, and young professionals alike, and has the facilities to perfectly cater to this market. Cafe culture and restaurants are thriving amongst the co-working spaces, a tennis centre, and childcare facilities, to name a few.
