Bali is changing and growing fast and steadily: only 30 years ago, rice fields were endless, and today, at the same spot, there are hundreds of brand-new developments and luxury villas peppered across.
The property market has gained popularity and trust among the leading world’s economies, attracting more foreign investments. It is now time to hunt for houses for sale in Bali to secure the best market price and enter one of the world’s most profitable real estate.
HOW MUCH DOES A HOUSE IN BALI COST?
A middle-class one-bedroom villa in Bali with a pool not too far from the beach in popular locations will cost USD 200 000 – 300 000. Luxury villas prices start from USD 500 000 – 700 000 and go up to several million. Resort property pricing starts from 2-3 million dollars.
If you are purchasing a house for sale in Bali long-term under your name (leasehold) or the name of your company (freehold), the price will not only include the price of the house but the lease of the land for 25 or more years.
The average plot size is 2-3 are (200-300 sq m). In central and tourist locations, the leasehold price per 100 sqm is from USD 6100 per year. The freehold prices will vary, but usually, leasehold is 10% of the freehold price, ex. 1 sq m of freehold land in Canggu costs USD 1500. By buying the freehold, you don’t have to calculate the price per year, you pay for the whole period of owning the property, and that period is most likely to be up to 80 years of legal ownership.
12 HOTSPOTS TO FIND HOUSES FOR SALE IN BALI
We have a list of 12 hotspots to find houses for sale in Bali which can be a reference for research and information related to areas for those of you who need it.
1. CANGGU
Canggu is the number one destination in Bali both for tourism and real estate. It is known for its 24/7 buzzing atmosphere, as well as its beaches and surfing. There are several villas and apartment developments available for purchase or rent in Canggu, making it a desirable destination for expats and the younger generation. The area is also home to several restaurants, cafes, beach clubs, nightclubs, and bars, making it a great place to live for those who enjoy a night out on the town.
The property market in Canggu is highly competitive and extremely profitable, affecting the pricing. The houses for sale are expensive, and it is recommended for buyers with a smaller budget to either buy off-plan or choose neighbouring areas.
2. PERERENAN
Pererenan is a village located next to Canggu. It is known for its beautiful beach, trendy cafes, and new coworking area. Pererenan is tranquil and secluded, making it the perfect place to relax and get away from it all, and yet it is just a few minutes’ drives from Canggu’s active life.
There are many houses for sale in this area, which is becoming increasingly popular with expats and tourists alike. Some off-plan options are available here, offering a unique and very affordable opportunity to live next to Canggu or to rent a house.
3. WEST COAST
Right after Pererenan the endless beach of the West Coast starts and extends to the Gilimanuk port connecting Bali and Java. Seseh and Cemagi are the closest beaches already discovered and well-loved by tourists and expats. The further we go north, the more untouched beaches and landscapes we see. The West coast is stunning, lush, and comfortable for a remote low-key lifestyle. It also has some significant surf breaks!
4. SEMINYAK
Seminyak is one of the oldest tourism hubs on the island, and today, it is one of the most expensive markets for houses for sale in Bali. It’s known for its stylish restaurants, trendy shops, and beautiful beaches. If you’re looking for a luxurious and vibrant lifestyle, Seminyak is the place for you.
The values of property for sale in Bali, especially Seminyak and the market is extremely competitive: here you can find the perfect apartments, resorts, and houses for sale prices starting from around USD 100 000 depending on their state, the number of bedrooms, years of lease left, and the exact location.
5. KEROBOKAN
Kerobokan is a residential area bordering Denpasar, Canggu and Seminyak. It doesn’t have direct access to the beach, yet you can find houses for sale in this part of Bali with rice paddies views or beautiful designs and landscaped gardens.
The area is popular among families as there are a few international schools here, including French and Australian schools. Expats on a budget also love this location for the housing choice, prices, and access to local markets.
Yet there are a few luxury villas here for those who prefer a relaxed lifestyle far from the hectic Canggu buzz. Harcourts Bali curates more than 50+ houses for sale in Kerobokan.
6. JIMBARAN
Jimbaran is a prime area for houses for sale in Bali, from simple studios to extravagant cliff-top mansions. It is located on the Bukit Peninsula, which offers some of the best views over the ocean and panoramic views of the island.
The beaches here are famous for their white sand, beautiful sunsets, and surfing. There are also a lot of great restaurants and bars in the area, making it a popular spot for locals and tourists.
The Jimbaran property market is diverse and offers traditional Joglos or Balinese-style houses to luxurious hilltop villas. The area gained popularity, and more developers and big investors are looking to invest in villas and homes in Bali.
7. ULUWATU
Uluwatu is known for its world-class surfing, and beautiful cliff-surrounded beaches. It’s also a popular spot for expats and retirees, so plenty of amenities and services are available, including beach clubs, restaurants, and shops.
Bingin and the Uluwatu cliff have lately become more buzzing with cliff-top bars, clubs, resorts, and activities.
8. NUSA DUA AND SANUR
Nusa Dua and Sanur are beautiful suburbs with long sandy beaches and 5-star resorts. It is perfect for those who want to enjoy the sun and the sea, escape the city life’s hustle and bustle, and enjoy a smaller village’s slower pace.
It is one of the top choices for families and retirees. This area is about a 40-min drive from Canggu.
Plenty of houses are for sale in Sanur and Nusa Dua, so you’re sure to find one that’s perfect for you. Yet we have to admit, the property prices in this area are high due to the premium development of the suburb and proximity to the beaches and facilities.
9. AMED AND CANDIDASA
Amed and Candidasa are becoming increasingly popular for hilltop houses for sale. This area is known for its beautiful beaches and relaxed atmosphere. Amed is also an excellent location for diving and snorkelling, making it attractive for tourists. If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful place to live, Amed is worth considering.
10. UBUD
Ubud is a beautiful and serene suburb located in the island’s central highlands. It’s known for its lush jungles, rice paddies, spiritual atmosphere, and traditional Balinese villages. Ubud was historically the royal residence.
There are plenty of things to do in Ubud, from shopping and dining to exploring the countryside. And despite the fact it’s such a popular destination, houses for sale are still relatively affordable.
11. NUSA LEMBONGAN AND NUSA PENIDA
The closest to Bali islands – Nusa Lembongan with Nusa Ceningan bonded together and Nusa Penida – are little lush waterfront paradises with great snorkelling, diving and plenty of unspoiled natural beauties to see around the islands, including the famous T Rex-shaped rocks in Penida.
The demand in these property markets is relatively high, yet you can still find magnificent houses for sale with ocean views. The waters are pristine here and the white-sanded beaches are very welcoming. If you surf, Nusa Lembongan has some spots for advanced surfers too!
Harcourts team is experienced in working with Nusa islands properties as one of our offices is located at Panorama Point in Nusa Lembongan. We live and work in the area and care about both the local community and the success of our clients.
12. GILIS AND LOMBOK
Imagine a quiet morning when only waves, rhythmic music, and birds wake you up. When you are looking from your doorstep or balcony over turquoise, crystal-clear water, maybe you spot a turtle swimming around. On the other side, mighty volcanoes and hills surround nearby islands.
Both Gilis and Lombok are the second most popular tourism, and relocation destinations in Indonesia among foreigners and the property market has been climbing at an impressive pace. The infrastructure here is also developing with an international airport, Mandalika village project, and MotoGP circuit – the area is today one of the top-3 priorities for the Indonesian government.
The real estate in Lombok is booming yet the prices are reasonable and welcome all levels of buyers and investors to invest in Bali. Bali is a beautiful island with plenty of amazing locations to find houses and villas for sale. Whether you’re looking for a quiet and peaceful beach town, or a more luxurious area to live in, there’s definitely something for everyone in Bali.

Siti Purba and Eugene Shivnan are my trusted Property Agents in Bali/Indonesia. Since I started acquiring Villas in 2011. I have turned to them not only for purchasing properties. But many times simply for advice, or a friendly ear. They remain at the pinnacle of their game, and will provide factual information and data. Even if it means a deal not come their way from it! This impartially makes them special in an industry not known for it. I recommend them as individuals and Real Estate Professionals, without hesitation.
