The area

A market with its own rhythm

Ubud is the cultural and spiritual heart of Bali, surrounded by rice fields and jungle. The audience differs fundamentally from the coast: wellness travellers, yoga practitioners and expats who stay longer and value calm and authenticity.

Occupancy is lower than on the coast, but room rates are higher and stays are longer. That makes Ubud scalable as a boutique hotel or villa complex and well suited to investors looking for a distinctive, wellness-focused product.

A high-quality, wellness-focused product

Ubud attracts an audience that stays longer and is willing to pay for authenticity, calm and wellness. Yoga retreats, detox programmes and long-staying remote workers create a different return profile than the coast: occupancy is more evenly spread and the average length of stay is higher.

That makes Ubud particularly suited to concepts with a clear signature, such as a boutique villa complex or a wellness resort, where the experience determines the value.

Who Ubud suits

Ubud suits investors who want to distinguish themselves with a specialised, wellness- and culture-focused product, rather than competing on the coast-driven rental model. It is a choice for character and margin over volume.

What our investors say

5.0 · 40+ reviews

“We zijn al enkele jaren bezig om te investeren in vastgoed, waarbij we zochten naar een hoog rendement in combinatie met een mooi land om vakantie te vieren. Oorsprokelijk wilde we dit in Spanje gaan doen, maar door licentie beperkingen daar zijn we uitgeweken naar andere landen. Tijdens de zoektocht zijn wij in aanraking gekomen met Bali Estate Group. Vanaf dag 1 hadden wij fijn en intensief contact. We hadden meer dan duizend vragen en Bali Estate Group heeft altijd netjes, snel en professioneel geholpen.”

FAQ

Questions about Ubud

What characterises Ubud as an investment area?

A wellness and yoga audience with longer stays. Lower occupancy than the coast, but higher room rates, scalable as a boutique hotel or villa complex.

Who is Ubud suited to?

To investors looking for a distinctive, wellness-focused product rather than a coast-driven rental model.

Does Bali Estate Group already have projects here?

We are exploring projects in this region. Leave your details to be the first to be informed.

Can I, as a foreigner, simply buy real estate here?

Yes. The common route for foreign investors is leasehold (Hak Sewa), direct and without a residency requirement. Hak Pakai and PT PMA are alternatives for those who have residency rights or an investment company. We guide all three routes and explain what is appropriate for each situation.

How long is my leasehold term?

The market standard in Bali is 30 years. For our projects we have negotiated extension options up to 80 years, which at the time of writing is unique in the market. We record the exact term in writing per project before you commit.

How are rental and management handled?

We take care of everything from A to Z: a professional operator or our own local team handles reservations, guest service, cleaning and maintenance. Each quarter you receive a transparent report on revenue, occupancy and net return.

What is a realistic investment horizon?

We advise at least 7 to 10 years for a healthy combination of rental return and appreciation. Selling your leasehold position in the meantime is possible; the negotiated long term increases its saleability.

What about tax?

Through the tax treaty between the Netherlands and Indonesia, Dutch investors pay no tax in the Netherlands on the value or rental income of Indonesian real estate. Indonesian withholding tax remains applicable: typically a final levy of around 10 percent on rental income from property. Always consult a tax adviser for your situation.
