Bali is a must-visit, at least once in your life. The island is unique in all the world, with its own culture, traditions, religion and Balinese people. It also goes without saying that Bali is one of the most beautiful holiday destinations with breathtaking nature that is so varied and unique to each district and area. It’s also family-friendly and great for travelers of all ages including solo travelers, sun-seekers, thrill-seekers and group excursions. Many people don’t know this, but Bali is a large island – it could take weeks, if not months to truly discover what the island has to offer. You could take your time to explore the island, including the south, the center, north, east and west, not to mention the sister islands, Nusa Lembongan, Ceningan and Penida. Here are some exciting things to do while you’re here in Bali: Beautiful Beaches Bali’s beaches offer unique attractions that are all so different. If you want a “castaway” experience, head to Green Bowl Beach and Padang-Padang in Pecatu, an area much loved by surfers for its challenging waves. For something trendy, head to Seminyak Beach or Echo Beach in Canggu. Petitenget Beach is great for quiet sunsets and calming walks without any distracting beach shacks and loud music. Nusa Dua Beach and Sanur Beach are perfect for families thanks to their calm and shallow waters. For a good seafood meal with a view, head to Jimbaran Beach. Incredible Parties & Nightlife You’ll never run out of a trendy beach club or a cocktail bar while you’re in Bali. There are beach clubs, day clubs, night clubs, bars, speakeasies and lifestyle centers like the brand-new Atlas in Canggu. The food in these venues is outstanding, with incredible cocktails, ice-cold beer and a plethora of drinks to choose from. Of course, the music in these venues is world-class, so get ready to groove to killer tunes by world-renowned international DJs and artists. Ancient Temples On your holiday, take the opportunity to visit some of the more popular Balinese temples. Pura Lempuyang, Pura Tanah Lot, Pura Saraswati, Pura Luhur Besakih and Pura Ulun Danu Beratan are just some of the more popular temples that are also amazing Instagram spots with breathtaking backdrops that will blow up your feed. Don’t forget to add Pura Luhur Uluwatu to your list, for magical cliff-top views and an out-of-this-world kecak performance at sunset! Bali is also great for shopping, dining, spa sessions and for snorkeling and diving. Those who love trekking and hiking can go mountain climbing or cycle through villages and rice fields. Thrill-seekers can go ATV racing, white-water rafting and zip-lining. To do all of this and more, why not make the island your home away from home? You could rent a beautiful tropical villa monthly and make that your base while you explore. The first thing you need to do is pick a location. Places in South Bali that are popular with tourists include Seminyak, Kuta, Legian, Canggu, Sanur, Jimbaran and Uluwatu. You could also get out into the countryside and head to Ubud, Lovina, Amed or Candidasa if you so wish. Ready to begin your Bali adventure?

It’s a well-known fact that Australians love Bali! Just take a walk through any of the tourist towns of Seminyak, Kuta and Legian and you’ll see an Aussie at every corner. Aussies love Bali so much that they return year after year, many of whom first step foot on the island as a child, and eventually return to the island with their own families in tow. Bali is the perfect place to own villa property for Australians, but many of them didn’t know how to buy villas in Bali. Australians have a special relationship with the locals. The Balinese are wonderfully kind and polite, while Australians are naturally friendly and fun. This goes together well, and many returning tourists would develop wonderful friendships with the locals, whom they consider their “Balinese family”. Balinese are always happy to welcome their jolly and friendly friends Without the Aussies, Bali just wouldn’t be the same and the Balinese are always happy to welcome their jolly and friendly friends from down under every time. In fact, many Australians have set down roots here, making the island their semi-permanent home. With many stunning villas available for long-term lease or rent here in Bali, it’s easy enough to pack up and move. So the question is, can Australians buy villas in Bali? One of the most important things to understand before you purchase anything is the legalities and the Indonesian property law, which clearly states that foreigners aren’t legally allowed to own land or property in Indonesia. But don’t worry, all is not lost. There are 3 main types of property ownership in Indonesia - Hak Milik / Freehold; Hak Pakai / Right Of Use; and Hak Guna Bangunan / Right To Build. The second option – Hak Pakai / Right Of Use – would be the best option for an Australian person who wishes to buy a villa in Bali. It lets you “purchase” a leasehold Bali property. Simply put, a “lease” means a long-term rent of a property – you “own” the property for a number of years whether 25 or 70 years, depending on your agreement with the owner. This does not include the land that the property stands on. With a built-in extension of 25 years, the title comes with renewal after 20 years with only a small tax implication. Plus, there is no mention anywhere in Indonesian law that these extensions or renewals cannot be continued as long as it is done on state-owned land. Some restrictions to this title would include the size of land and property and that you must hold a valid permit to stay in Indonesia such as a KITAP or a KITAS. If you’re planning to build a villa from scratch, remember that you must also obtain an accommodation license and a permit to build, known as Ijin Mendirikan Bangunan (IMB). Ready to buy a beautiful Bali villa or build your very own? You’ll need to engage the services of a trusted, reliable, and credible property agent here in Bali. If this is your first time navigating the Indonesian property landscape, trust us when we say that doing it by yourself can be quite a challenge. It will also take up a lot of your time. Partner with Bali Coconut Living, a leading Seminyak-based villa property agent  We are ready to assist you in buying, selling, and villa maintenance.

Bali is without a doubt one of the most beautiful places in the world. Millions of tourists and travelers love Bali for its undeniably unique vibrations, beautiful nature and friendly locals. Unfortunately, the island seems to be struggling under the weight of pollution due to mass consumerism and mass tourism. This is clearly showcased through the piles of trash and plastic that suffocates its rivers, beaches and waterways. It’s not news that the island has a plastic and trash problem, but the good news is that there is always something that can be done, and it all starts with us. If you’re here because you’re sincerely looking for ways to give back and support this beautiful island, then we’ve got great news for you. There are actually plenty of ways to make a difference through various fun activities - from volunteering to shopping and participating in tours! Here are some ideas : Sungai Watch One of the most renowned and successful environmental organizations registered in both Bali and the USA. Its members are on a mission to stop plastic from going into the ocean. Every day, these river warriors clean hundreds of tons of plastic and other non-organic materials from Bali’s waterways. Cleaning up one river can take weeks, but the end result is amazing. They put up barriers along the mouths of rivers that collect rubbish, which is then collected and recycled. Rivers that were once polluted and uninhabited by any form of wildlife or marine life, would become clean and pristine once again thanks to the volunteers and members of Sungai Watch. Follow them on Instagram to learn more: @sungaiwatch. Trash Hero Canggu If you’ve been to Bali during the rainy season, you would have seen the amount of trash that gets washed up on the beach. It may be shocking but someone somewhere needs to do something and that’s the volunteers at Trash Hero. Established in 2018, Trash Hero is a movement that holds weekly meet-ups along the beaches of Canggu to pick up trash and keep paradise clean.  Every Sunday, its members meet and strive to clean, educate and create change among both local and international communities on the island. In addition to picking up trash and cleaning beaches, Trash Hero also runs community-led programs such as a water bottle refill program and environmental education for kids. Learn how you too can participate at https://trashhero.org Sustainable Tours and Activities In addition to volunteering, you can always participate in tours and activities that would benefit the local community, independent sellers and farmers without harming the environment. For example, you could go on a rice field tour with a local tour guide, participate in a local cooking class that uses organic greens from the surrounding areas, explore the natural wonders of Bali by bicycle, go on a Jukung boat ride, and attend local workshops run by local Balinese craftsmen and women. Choose from painting and wood carving to making your own coconut oil, soaps, jamu, and more. Shop Mindfully Another way to support environmental sustainability in Bali is to shop mindfully. There are shops here that sell only locally produced organic products that were made by local Balinese farmers such as jams and spreads, dried fruits, tea and coffee, incense sticks, essential oils, and so much more. Check out Samadi Bali, Kou, Sensatia Botanicals and Soil Food Temple. These shops sell all of the above and more, plus, you won’t see any plastic in the store! You could also shop at the local market or traditional market. Remember to bring a reusable bag with you  We hope the above is helpful to help giving you an idea of how you could give back to the local Balinese community in an efficient, eco-friendly way.

So you’ve taken the plunge and have decided to go ahead and buy land in Bali! Congratulations, this is going to be an exciting time for you. Being a landowner in Bali means that you’re investing in one of the most wanted locations in the world –your investment will only yield high returns as time goes by. Additionally, buying land in Bali is one of the surest and safest ways to park your money and grow your asset portfolio. Even if you’re not developing the land yet, you can just leave the land there with little to no risks. Unlike properties, land does not require maintenance, electricity, or security. All you have to do is just make sure no one is squatting or illegally building on your land. But before you sign on the dotted line, let’s take a look at some common mistakes that people make when buying land in Bali and what you can do to avoid them. Skipping out on background checks Before any transaction takes place, it would be wise to do your due diligence and find out more about the land that you’re looking to purchase. Make sure that you’re dealing directly with the owner or a trusted and accredited real estate firm with direct ties to the owner. It’s unfortunate that in many cases, there are “middlemen” involved which could cause you problems in the long term. It might be tempting to just skip all the red tape and put your trust in the friendly salesman, but remember that you’re putting a lot at risk. The best way to check if the land and owner are “clean” would be to enlist the services of a property lawyer and a notary. No Understanding Of Indonesia’s Property Laws At this stage, it’s important to understand that only Indonesians can purchase or own land/property in the country. No foreigners are allowed to do so and if someone is telling you that you can, that is a huge red flag. Make sure you understand the basic land/property types which comprise the following: The “freehold” title or “Hak Milik” means that only Indonesian citizens can hold this title. If you’re a foreigner and you’re tempted to hold a freehold land, it will automatically be deemed void, and therefore, the land will automatically belong to the government. A secondary title, known as “Right of Use” or “Hak Pakai” is the best option for a foreigner. With a built-in extension of 25 years, the title comes with renewal after 20 years with only a small tax implication. Restrictions include the size of land and property and you must hold a valid permit to stay in Indonesia such as a KITAP or a KITAS. The third title is a commercial title; “Hak Guna Bangunan”, which means “right to build”. This title is compulsory for both foreign and Indonesian companies buying, selling, or managing villas for commercial purposes. Remember to also speak to your lawyers and notary about property tax and other taxation involved when buying land in Bali. No Understanding Of Zoning Laws and Regulations Understanding zoning laws is extremely important as it will tell you what you can and cannot do with your land. Some areas are zoned for tourism which is great for villas, guesthouses and hotels. Certain zones are slated for residential, forestry, conservation, green, industrial and trade and service. Some properties may not even have road access, which will be expensive for you to undertake. Be sure to speak to your lawyer or notary to understand which zone the land that you’re planning to buy falls under and if you’re even allowed to build on that land at all. No understanding of the local culture or “adat” It’s very important to understand the neighbourhood where your land is located in. Every village in Bali is governed by a “banjar” - a council of village leaders with their own sets of rules, guidelines and regulations. Spend some time understanding the local neighbourhood laws, important cultural practices and religious days. There might be fees that you’d need to pay the Banjar every now and then, which would go back into the village. Speak to other foreigners in the area who might be willing to share their experiences with you so you can be mentally prepared. Ready to buy land in Bali?
