The island of Bali is a preferred vacation destination not only for residents of Indonesia but also for tourists from all over the world.

On the island you can enjoy a variety of exotic plants, volcanic landscapes, endless rice fields, as well as visit cozy bars and cafes with local flavor, enjoy stunning views of the sea and mountains. 

The tourist season on the island lasts all year round, attracting half a million people every month. The occupancy rate of tourist facilities is 70-80%.

After the pandemic, the region quickly rebounded with 6.3 million visitors during 2023.

Infrastructure development on the island 

The development of the island of Bali continues year after year.

The reconstruction of the port in Sanur was completed in 2022, and the Bali International Hospital is scheduled to open in 2024.

Also planned for 2024 is the reconstruction of Bali's transportation system, including the construction of the Gilimanuk - Mengwi highway, which will connect the island to Jakarta. 

With the upgraded port in Gilimanuk, which is the main transportation hub between Bali and Java, the island's annual visitor traffic is expected to increase to 14 million people.

In addition, Paramount Theme Park Bali is scheduled to open on the island in 2025.

High level of profitability 

Investing in real estate in Bali is considered to be profitable, as every year the rental value of real estate on the island increases by 15%. 

The average return on investment in real estate in Bali is from 12 to 20% per year, which allows investors to recoup their investment in 5 years.

The possibility of equity investment

International developer ANTA Group offers exclusive equity investment in premium apartments in the most popular area of Bali - Changgu, in the complex ANTA Residence Canggu.

Equity investment in real estate - one of the most profitable forms of investment, because it is available to a wider range of people.

The investor acquires a certain share of real estate, which gives him the right to manage this part and receive income from the investment. Each participant has his share, proportional to the size of his investment.

This is especially relevant for young investors who have a small starting capital, but can receive income from this type of investment.

Advantages of investing in a share of real estate: 

- Affordability: Investing in a share allows you to invest less money, which is especially relevant for young investors. 

- Portfolio diversification: The possibility of acquiring shares in several properties allows you to reduce risks and ensure a stable income. 

- Professional management: Cooperation with management companies makes it easier to rent, maintain and manage properties.

 

Special government programs

Bali is ranked as the fourth most attractive investment destination in the world. 

The Indonesian government is actively working to create a favorable environment for foreign investors, constantly improving investment conditions at the legislative level. 

Structural reforms to improve the country's business environment and a variety of tax incentives will continue to be introduced and expand opportunities for foreign workers, opening up more job opportunities.

Changgu's infrastructure is on par with world capitals, while property and rental prices in the area are the highest on the island.

It is the capital of yoga and meditation, the center of cultural life, where most of the performances of different artists take place.

Seminyak

The Seminyak district, located in the southwest of the island, is considered a trendy center for nightlife and shopping. Here you can find clubs, bars, restaurants and luxury villas.

A few years ago, Seminyak was the leading neighborhood until Changgu took its place. However, it still has many restaurants and famous beach clubs. 

The beaches of Seminyak have gray sand due to its volcanic nature. 

The area is easy to navigate on foot and there is no need to look for a vehicle. The area attracts those who appreciate comfort, developed infrastructure and prefer to stay in their neighborhood.
