Dubai built its fame on speed — massive construction, quick flips, and tax incentives. Thailand offered accessibility and affordability.
Bali, however, is maturing differently. Its investment ecosystem is moving away from speculative building toward high-yield operational assets — think branded villas, boutique resorts, and co-living developments tied to tourism and digital nomads.
What this means:
Instead of buying off-plan to flip, investors are now buying cashflow-generating villas managed by experienced operators — with yields of 10–15% still possible in the right pockets (Canggu, Pererenan, Uluwatu).
