Hi, I’m Jason, a Business Journalist at Bukit Vista, and in this article, I’m diving into insights from our latest feature on Bali Business Review. We’re putting the spotlight on Kerobokan — a region quietly ascending the growth ladder and now ranked #5 among emerging areas in Bali’s dynamic short-term rental market.
Why Kerobokan Bali Is the Next Big Thing for Short-Term Rentals
Sitting gracefully between the bustling streets of Seminyak and the hip, surf-friendly energy of Canggu, Kerobokan has carved out a unique identity. It is the sweet spot where serenity meets access. While visitors can indulge in Canggu’s beach clubs, cafes, and nightlife or enjoy the stylish ambiance of Seminyak just minutes away, they return to the calm, residential vibe of Kerobokan — a milieu perfect for both guests and investors seeking balance.
This geography doesn’t just offer convenience — it unlocks immense potential for short-term rentals. Properties in Kerobokan benefit from a spillover effect: high tourist traffic from neighboring hotspots, without the infrastructure strains and crowding those locations often face.
Kerobokan doesn’t try to outshine its neighbors; instead, it complements them. This harmony encourages developments rooted in sustainability and long-stay offerings. From eco-conscious villa designs to boutique stays that avoid over-tourism, the neighborhood appeals deeply to today’s conscious traveler.
Investors are taking note. High booking acceptance and above-average performance per listing demonstrate solid demand. Tourists and digital nomads are increasingly drawn to authentic, peaceful communities within easy reach of the island’s main action — exactly what Kerobokan delivers.
In an era where conscious travel is on the rise and over-touristed neighborhoods are losing appeal, Kerobokan stands out as a value-driven, forward-thinking region. It’s ready for responsible development and tailored hospitality experiences that deliver meaningful returns for investors and delightful stays for visitors.
We invite you to watch our in-depth analysis video to get expert perspectives, learn what other stakeholders think, and see how this ranking was determined. Whether you’re a hospitality operator, property investor, or curious traveler, Kerobokan could very well be your next best move in Bali.
