Published on: January 27th, 2021 Author: Karolis
Choosing the the right Bali villa location to build your villa is one of the most important things to consider. The cost of building and the ROI% differ. Bali is gorgeous tropical island with an area of 5,780 square kilometers, full of jungles, 4 volcanoes, beautiful lakes, wooded valleys, black sand and white sand beaches, cliffs, turquoise water and most importantly warm cultural people. It is all very special.
Your priorities should determine your Bali villa location. Do you prefer soothing beautiful calm nature or city life, with shops and schools? Are you planning to live here and if you are, do you have kids? Do you wish to make a great investment and rent out a holiday villa to someone for some passive income?
The main cities around Bali are Seminyak, Kerobokan and Canggu, all of these are close the international airport, picturesque beaches with amazing sunsets, great restaurants, luxurious shops, beach clubs, night clubs and various activities for the whole family to enjoy. This southern part of the island hosts 80% of all tourists in Bali. It is also the starting point of all tourist excursions for this gorgeous island making it a great place for real estate investments.
Prices of land and property vary greatly depending on the area you are looking into. Tourist areas like Seminyak, Canggu and Ubud tend to be expensive. Move away from the center a little bit and you’ll see prices drop. Canggu, for example, has seen massive growth in the last decade and the tourist area is expanding and expanding which gives great options to invest in a property that is not in the tourist center of Canggu but just outside. However, you must always choose your location wisely! If you are planning to rent out your property, make sure the property is not too far from the beach or other hotspots or you’ll face difficulties in getting bookings. Always remember, tourists will love your Bali villa location for the same reason you will love it.
