Bali produces some of the strongest short-let returns in Asia for well-run villas — provided the structure and land title are handled correctly from the start.
- Where we look
- Canggu · Uluwatu · Ubud · Seminyak
- Entry level
- USD 350k for a managed villa
- Rental yield
- 8–12% gross on professionally managed short-let villas
- Foreign ownership
- Foreigners use leasehold or a right-to-build structure, not direct freehold
- Residency
- Long-stay and investor visa options available separately from property
- Taxes
- Rental income taxed locally; management fees materially affect net yield
- Watch out for
- Title and lease term are everything — legal diligence is non-negotiable.
