Two of the most sought-after regions in Bali are Uluwatu and Canggu. Both perform strongly, but they attract a different type of investor. In this article we set out the differences so you can make a well-founded choice.
Uluwatu and Bingin: maximum return and growth
Uluwatu, and Bingin specifically, currently delivers the highest returns in Bali. Scarcity of cliff-front land and strong demand for premium resorts push prices and rental rates upward. Average market net returns sit between 10 and 14 percent, and land trades at around 1,800 to 2,800 dollars per square metre of leasehold.
This region suits investors who prioritise 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. Our flagship project Nova Ocean Resort is located here.
Canggu and Berawa: predictable and high occupancy
Canggu and Berawa form a mature market with stable returns and very high occupancy. The entry price is higher, typically from 350,000 dollars for a 2-bedroom villa, and average market net returns sit between 8 and 11 percent. The market has risen sharply in recent years and offers many amenities.
This region suits investors who prioritise predictability and want a directly rentable product in a proven environment.
How to choose
If you are after growth and willing to accept a slightly less mature market for a higher return, Uluwatu is the logical choice. If you mainly want predictability and high occupancy in a mature market, Canggu fits better. Many investors ultimately spread across both regions for a balanced portfolio. We are happy to think along with you about which split suits your goals.
