Investing in Uluwatu & Bingin

Uluwatu, and Bingin in particular, is performing at the highest level in all of Bali in 2025 and 2026. For investors looking for growth and an early-mover advantage, this is the most promising region on the island.

The area

Scarcity that drives prices and rates up

Three factors make this area unique. First, the scarcity of cliff-front land: there is simply a limited amount of first-class coastline, and it is running out. Second, there is strong and sustained demand for premium resorts and boutique villas from an international, high-spending audience.

Finally, new infrastructure such as roads and utilities is opening up the area without diluting its luxury appeal. That combination of scarcity, demand and improving accessibility structurally pushes both land prices and rental rates upward.

Sub-region

Bingin in particular

Bingin is the sharpest expression of the Uluwatu trend: cliff-front and within walking distance of Dreamland Beach and Bingin Beach, two of the best-known surf and lifestyle beaches in Bali. That position structurally commands a higher average daily rate than inland projects.

This is also home to our flagship project, Nova Ocean Resort: 109 luxury apartments with MĀUA by Swiss-Belhotel as the operator. The combination of an international operator and a cliff-front location reduces operational risk and increases occupancy.

Price development and rental demand

Land prices in Bingin and the surrounding area have risen sharply in recent years, yet still sit substantially below established prime locations such as Seminyak, while the expected price growth of 8 to 10 percent per year up to 2028 is among the highest on the island.

On the rental side, Uluwatu benefits from an international, high-spending audience that pays a premium for cliff-front and design. The average daily rate here is structurally higher than inland, which makes the region exceptionally well suited to high-return luxury rentals.

Who Uluwatu suits

Uluwatu suits investors who prioritise maximum returns and capital growth and are willing to enter a market that has not yet fully matured. With a horizon of seven to ten years, you reap the rewards of both rental income and the expected appreciation.

If you are mainly looking for immediate, predictable occupancy in a fully mature market, Canggu may be a more logical starting point. Many of our investors combine both regions for a balanced portfolio.

What our investors say

5.0 · 40+ reviews
We first came across Bali Estate Group through the Lotgenoten podcast, where Roy talked about Bali's property market. He immediately came across as trustworthy, knowledgeable and transparent: he not only highlighted the opportunities, but also spoke honestly about zoning, building materials and possible pitfalls. In our conversation with Pierre, virtually all our questions were answered before we even had to ask them, and there was an instant personal click. The Dutch point of contact and short lines of communication are a big plus, and their involvement does not stop once the sale is done: newsletters with professionally edited videos let you follow the construction closely. We wholeheartedly recommend Bali Estate Group to anyone considering investing in real estate in Bali.

Bali Estate Group appealed to me right away: the no-nonsense mentality of Roy and Koen, no sales talk, but projects with real character. After an info evening in Delft I bought my first 2 units, with perfect financial guidance through a contact of Roy's. Now 6 units further: tidy and well organised on the construction site, and the after-sales on location is top notch.

After I sold my home in the Netherlands, I knew I wanted to do something with my equity. Through Danny I ended up at the Nova Ocean Resort project. I am very happy with my purchase and with the communication from the Bali Estate Group team. I look forward to the future!

We have been investing in real estate for several years, looking for a high return combined with a beautiful country to spend our holidays. Originally we wanted to do this in Spain, but due to licensing restrictions there we moved on to other countries. During our search we came into contact with Bali Estate Group. From day one we had pleasant and intensive contact. We had more than a thousand questions and Bali Estate Group always helped us neatly, quickly and professionally.

By early 2022 I was already busy putting my money to good use in real estate for a high ROI. However, this job was bigger than I thought. I came into contact with various parties, but it was all 'almost right'. Until I got in touch with Bali Estate Group at the end of 2024. The people gave me good advice and were able to fulfil all my wishes, and recommended investing in Bali with a high return. The person I am in contact with helps me with everything like a true professional investor. I am very satisfied with how everything is going and will certainly keep doing business in the future.

The purchase of Nova Oasis Villa in Canggu in early 2025 was initially a bit sluggish, but everything visibly improved along the way. The team is professional and skilled, and the reports are clear and complete. We have now stayed in the villa and will go again this year; it really feels like our second home.

The scarcity of cliff-front land drives prices and rental rates up, there is strong demand for premium resorts and boutique villas, and infrastructure development is opening up the area without diluting its luxury appeal.
How are land prices developing in Uluwatu?
Land prices in Bingin and the surrounding area have risen sharply compared to five years ago, but still sit substantially below prime locations in Canggu or Seminyak. Market analysts expect 8 to 10 percent annual price growth up to 2028, among the highest on the island.
Which type of investor suits Uluwatu?
Investors who prefer maximum ROI over absolute certainty, with a horizon of 7 to 10 years, and who are willing to enter a market that has not yet fully matured but has plenty of growth potential.
Which projects does Bali Estate Group have in Uluwatu?
Nova Ocean Resort is our flagship project in Bingin, Uluwatu: 109 luxury apartments, MĀUA by Swiss-Belhotel as the operator and a cliff-front position.
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 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.
