Living in a beautiful joglo will really complete your luxe-island experience, wouldn’t you agree?   If you didn’t already know, a joglo is a traditional Javanese wooden house with a distinctly shaped and elaborately carved roof. These are no normal huts - Joglos are usually associated with aristocracy. The higher the roof, the more the carvings, the more important the family living inside!   Joglo houses are beautifully intricate - both interiors and exteriors are handcrafted with stunning carvings depicting Indonesia’s rich nature and culture. Made from the most precious Indonesian wood, these would gleam in the light and give any home a sense of unbeatable luxury.   One amazing joglo-style villa that you would absolutely love would be Joglo Aubrey.   Located in the thriving Batu Bolong, Joglo Aubrey is a magnificent home, beautifully designed to embrace its tropical surroundings. The architect used only the most premium natural materials; in addition to hardwood, there is marble and natural stones, for a truly ‘at one with nature’ feel.   Sprawled on 373 m2 of land, the villa comes with 2 bright and well-appointed bedrooms. Spacious, romantic, and cosy, each bedroom is decorated in soothing natural tones and comes with its own luxurious semi-outdoor bathroom, air-conditioning, and gorgeous original handmade wood and rattan furniture.   The living and dining area sits within its own joglo structure – open-sided to the elements so you can enjoy the fresh air and the island breeze while overlooking the garden and pool. The tiered wooden ceiling above adds an exotic touch to a bright and breezy room. In the kitchen, you’ll find everything you need to create delicious wholesome meals for you and your loved ones.   Joglo Aubrey is your perfect island hideaway in the heart of Batu Bolong. It is the ideal home for those who love to spend time in quiet contemplation in their own luxurious hideaway but still be just minutes away from all of the most popular restaurants, shops, cafes, and conveniences as well as the beach.   Available now for yearly rental or for sale.   Ready to have a look at Joglo Aubrey?

So you’ve made the decision to invest in a villa here in Bali. Congratulations on such a big step! Before the sale is final, you’ll need to decide on a few things, and the location of your new villa will be one of the top 3 most important decisions to make.   As you know, location is everything. It is a very personal choice and would really depend on what you’re looking for. Every town and area in Bali is incredibly unique with something special to offer, and its own special vibe and atmosphere.   Let’s take a look at the best places in Bali for a villa investment!   Seminyak / Petitenget / Umalas   Seminyak and its sister neighbourhoods of Petitenget and Umalas would be the number 1 preferred location for investors as it is the favourite neighbourhood for holidaymakers, expats, and travellers. It is Bali’s most fashionable seaside town with all of the hottest cafes, restaurants, hotels, spas, clubs, beach clubs, and shopping all within minutes away from each other. Seminyak and nearby give off a luxurious, up-market feel, a vibe that many villa homeowners lust after. This would be the ideal choice for those who love excitement and entertainment.   Canggu   If you’re looking for a more modern, hip, energetic vibe in a cool, boho-chic seaside town, then Canggu’s your best bet! It’s South Bali’s fastest-growing area with a healthy mix of residents comprising digital nomads, yoga and health enthusiasts, artists, business people, and locals. The villas here are more modern and aesthetically pleasing. Villas are newer, with more garden space and better views. Instead of rooftops and walls, you can actually wake up to rice field views and amazing sunrises!   Sanur   Another favourite with expats and investors, Sanur has everything you need for a luxurious island lifestyle. There are gorgeous villas here and the trendiest cafes, restaurants, spas, and shopping. The beach is a glorious stretch of soft golden sand all connected to each other with a wide stone walkway lined with lovely eateries, warungs, and shops. The water here is calm and safe for small children, plus, there are actual sidewalks on the main streets! Sanur is great for families and is definitely more peaceful, greener, and less crowded than Seminyak and Canggu. If it’s a nice, quiet, and tranquil lifestyle that you’re after, then Sanur is perfect for you!   Ubud   Fantastic location for those who love nature and want to really embrace the feelings of peace and oneness with the island. Ubud is Bali’s cultural, spiritual, and creative centre and has been attracting healers, yogis, artists, and those who love the lush, green vibe of the town for decades. There are plenty of art galleries, museums, and workshops that you can attend like wood carving and mask making. In central Ubud, you can enjoy a delicious meal at any of the trendy restaurants and cafes or drive out for a few minutes to the outskirts for unending rice fields and jungle views.   These are just some of the more popular locations in Bali for a villa investment. Of course, you can also explore Bali’s Bukit Peninsula area – Uluwatu, Bingin, Jimbaran, and Pecatu or go north to Lovina, or to East Bali and West Bali if you like.   The possibilities are endless!

How much does it cost to buy a property in Bali? Well, the answer would depend on a number of factors such as property type (whether villa, office, or land), size, location, building type, permits, road access, amenities, facilities, and more.   It would be tricky for anyone to be able to give you a solid number as all of these things would have to be considered. After some extensive research, you would most likely discover that you’d need at least USD 50,000 just to lease the land.   Remember that foreigners aren’t allowed to own land or property in Bali so you’d have to resort to a long-term lease which can go anywhere from 2-100 years. Most people opt for 25 years. Land prices would vary from location to location so if you’re leasing in say, Tabanan, it would vary greatly to the cost of property in Canggu’s Berawa and Batu Bolong or Seminyak, Petitenget, and Umalas. Price would be per “are” or per square metre.   For example, a beautiful and luxurious 2-bedroom villa in Uluwatu would cost you approximately USD 120,000 to purchase while a prime land in Canggu would be priced at approximately USD 35,000 per 100 sqm.   Before the pandemic, land and villas in Bali were notoriously overpriced. Fortunately or unfortunately, asking prices are now between 30 - 50% below pre-Covid-19 asking prices. Prices for villas have also been slashed by as much as 85%!   This means that now is the right time for you to take advantage of lower prices and low-interest rates. There would also be fewer people competing for each property so you can take your time to find the perfect villa that suits all your preferences.   Here are some other important figures that you should consider when it comes to buying and owning property in Bali.   Average building cost per sqm: USD 500-1000. This is not inclusive of finishing, decoration, furniture, amenities, etc. Be smart and squirrel away some extra funds for when construction costs increase, as they usually do for any number of reasons. Average utility costs per month: USD 150-200. You’ll have to pay for electricity, water, WIFI, cable TV, cleaning fees, garbage pickup fees, Banjar fees, etc. Bear in mind that the electricity bill will increase if you have a pool and use the AC constantly.   Minimum monthly staff salary: USD 150. This would obviously vary depending on roles and years of experience. For example, the Villa Manager’s salary would cost more than the gardeners. Regardless, it is a wonderful way to help the local economy by providing employment.   Do set aside some money for your marketing and sales efforts too, if you’re planning to rent out your villa while you’re away. You’ll also need to set aside cash for applications, permits, licenses, and the like.

Renting a villa in Bali on a long-term basis is a smart and practical move. There are plenty of villas available for sale, buy or rent here on the island but if you’re planning to stay for more than just a few weeks or months, then a yearly long-term villa would be ideal.   First and foremost, you’ll save money because renting on a yearly basis is much more economical than renting on a monthly basis, and secondly, you’ll have the peace and mind and security of knowing that you will have the place all to yourself and your family for an entire year.   Long-term rents are also more ideal as all fees are usually included except for electricity. These would include water bills, Banjar fees, trash pickup, pool cleaning, night security, internet, maintenance, and upkeep. If you’re worried about furniture, don’t worry! There are plenty of long-term villas available for rent that come with gorgeous furniture and interiors.   Let’s take a look at two of our most favourite ones!   Zen Garden Villa Zen means “tranquillity and peace” and that is exactly what you’ll get when you step through the gates here at Zen Garden Villa. A large and lovely 2-bedroom villa in the heart of Ubud, it is surrounded by a lush tropical garden that sprawls across 750 sqm of land. In true Ubud style, this modern villa is all about embracing nature, with large floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors that let the sunshine in. The villa is built around the pool and the garden is filled with winding stone paths and cosy quiet nooks. Beyond that, lush foliage - think of it as your own private mini forest. There are plenty of spaces to relax and unwind, whether it’s in the semi-outdoor living area or in the bright and airy modern kitchen & adjoining dining area. Both bedrooms come with their own semi-open ensuite and lovely views of the outdoors and the pool.

Thinking of renting out your home or property here in Bali? Putting your property on the market is easy enough - all you need to do is figure out whether you would like to rent it out on a short-term or a long-term basis. Your decision should be based on a few factors including location, type of property, supply, and demand, among others.   Let’s take a look. Long Term Rent Cash Flow With long-term tenants who pay right on time, you can be sure of a predictable and stable cash flow. You won’t have to follow up with them every single month for payments as they would be making large yearly or twice yearly payments. Additionally, you can be sure that they won’t up and run in the middle of the night, leaving you high and dry. Even if they do, you won’t have to worry as payment has been made up-front, so all you need to do is find a different tenant to take over! On-Going Maintenance Long-term tenants tend to care more about the home or property that they are staying in. Whether it is furnished or unfurnished, long-term tenants would invest more time and energy turning your property into a home, a place that they would love and feel safe, cosy, and comfortable. Utility Bills & Damages Long-term tenants would have to foot the utility bills. Here in Bali, this would usually mean electricity bills, cable TV, and anything else that aren’t included in the agreement. WIFI is usually included but if they were to break or damage anything on purpose, they would have to pay to replace and repair any and all damages. You could also ask for a security deposit if you’re worried about rogue tenants causing trouble anytime throughout their stay. This applies to both long and short-term rentals. Short Term Rentals More Rental Income Renting out your property on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis can really increase your earnings. This is especially true during the high season when prices would be adjusted to meet market demand. You can enjoy full occupancy for months on end. But do keep in mind that with daily and weekly rentals, and some monthly rentals, you will need to foot all utility bills including electricity, WIFI, and water.   Unfortunately with short-term rentals, the cost of maintenance and upkeep would be higher. With every new check-ins and check-outs, there would be laundry, linen change, and general cleaning. The cost would be even higher if you have a pool and a garden, which needs to be maintained every few days. As holidaymakers are looking for beautiful, clean, and aesthetically pleasing places, you would need to make sure that your place is sparkling clean, shiny, and bright. Marketing & Advertising To get tenants, you’ll need to constantly promote your property whether through social media or property agents. It will consume time and energy but without these, you run the risk of leaving your property empty for extended periods of time! Ready to put your property on the market? Contact us now.

Thinking of owning property in Bali? Before signing on the dotted line and putting in any money on the property that you’ve been eyeing, there are a few important things that you must know. One of them is the types of ownership that are available in Bali and Indonesia. This is very important especially if you’re a foreigner. Let’s take a look. Hak Milik / Freehold There are different titles for both land and property in Bali and each title connotes a different meaning. The “freehold” title or “Hak Milik” means that only Indonesian citizens can hold this title. If you’re a foreigner and you’re tempting to hold a freehold land, it will automatically be deemed void, and therefore, the land will automatically belong to the government. Hak Pakai / Right Of Use 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. 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. Hak Guna Bangunan / Right To Build 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. The good news is that there are no restrictions for a foreign PT PMA owning such a company 100% as long as it is a 4-star and up. Remember that you must also obtain your accommodation license and Ijin Mendirikan Bangunan (IMB). All of this may sound confusing, not to mention stressful, especially if this is your first time navigating the Indonesian property landscape. Doing it by yourself can be quite a challenge. It will also take up a lot of your time.   Why not engage the services of a trusted, reliable, and credible property agent here in Bali?
