How We Determine the Best Areas to Invest in Bali
Our team of data scientists and analysts collects and analyzes thousands of rental property data points from OTAs (e.g., Airbnb) to determine the popularity of a location relative to all other potential properties in the area that a guest or homeowner might consider. This includes review ratings, counts, prices, occupancy, and potential ranking. We then plot this data on a heat map to identify specific grade areas based on our analysis.
Uluwatu: Riding the Wave of Property Development
Over the past semester, I recognized the growing interest in Ubud as a prime area for property investment. The lush landscapes and cultural richness create a unique selling point for investors looking to cater to a market seeking solace in the heart of Bali. Whether it’s boutique resorts or eco-friendly accommodations, Ubud offers a canvas for diverse investment opportunities.
The data from the heat map also underscores Ubud’s strong performance with a dense cluster of numerous large green bubbles near Ubud, it is a strong indicator of areas with a solid track record of both high occupancy and high guest satisfaction, key factors for a successful real estate investment, especially for those looking into short-term rental markets.
However it is worth noting also the high concentration of listings also implies that the market is competitive. To succeed, investors will need to find ways to differentiate their properties through unique offerings, exceptional service, or targeting niche traveler segments.
Bingin, a gem on the Bukit Peninsula in Bali, is renowned for its laid-back atmosphere and picturesque coastline. Known particularly for its world-class surf break, Bingin Beach offers consistent waves that attract surf enthusiasts from across the globe.Â
Bingin is also experiencing a phase of development, signaling a ripe opportunity for investment. Our offline canvasser reports a notable uptick in construction projects, with new villas, boutique resorts, and infrastructure enhancements emerging near the area. This uptick is a testament to Bingin’s growing appeal as a destination, aligning with the increasing demand for luxury accommodations and amenities that cater to discerning travelers.Â
Bingin’s real estate market, as represented by the heat map, shows promise for both short-term and long-term investment strategies. The presence of highly rated properties suggests a market that can yield good returns. However, the mixed levels of ratings also highlight the importance of investing in quality services and amenities to ensure high guest satisfaction.Â
The fact that Mengwi is not as densely populated with rental properties as some of the more saturated areas implies there is room for growth. The presence of more affordable options, relative to Canggu and Uluwatu, could be particularly appealing to investors looking to enter the market without the premium costs associated with more established areas.
Mengwi’s emerging status as an attractive destination is underscored by its potential for growth. As an area that is not yet oversaturated, investors have the opportunity to capitalize on lower property prices and the growing tourism interest. With strategic development and marketing, properties in Mengwi can attract tourists who are looking for new experiences outside the well-trodden paths of Bali’s popular areas.
