Bali Property Advisory
Private advisory for luxury villas, resorts, and hospitality assets across Bali.
Bali is our home market. We advise owners, buyers, and investors on luxury villas, resort assets, hospitality projects, and retreat developments across the island — including a significant share of opportunities that never reach the open market.
What we cover in Bali
Luxury villa acquisitions and sales. Resort and boutique hotel mandates. Retreat property development. Hospitality consulting for new and underperforming assets. FF&E procurement and refurbishment. Investment review for buyers entering the market for the first time.
Where we operate on the island
Uluwatu and the Bukit peninsula. Canggu, Berawa, and Pererenan. Ubud and the central highlands. Seminyak and Petitenget. Sanur and the east coast. Selective work on the north coast and the Gili Islands.
How investing in Bali property actually works
Most foreign ownership in Bali is structured through leasehold, PMA (foreign-owned company) freehold, or Hak Pakai. Each structure has a different cost, risk and exit profile. We work alongside Indonesian counsel to make sure the structure matches the asset and the holding period — not the other way around.
Why owners and buyers engage Banksia in Bali
We say no to most mandates. The ones we take are run privately, with a small qualified counterparty list and clear protection on both sides of the table. That keeps the register quality high and the transactions cleaner than the open Bali villa market.
Costs, fees and timeline
Acquisition advisory: success fee or retainer plus success, agreed in writing. Hospitality consulting: scoped per asset. Typical sale processes close in sixty to one hundred and twenty days once both sides are aligned.
Common questions
Can foreigners own property in Bali?
Not freehold directly. Foreign owners typically use leasehold (Hak Sewa), foreign-owned company freehold (PT PMA with Hak Guna Bangunan), or Hak Pakai. Each has different cost, risk, and exit implications.
What returns do Bali villas actually generate?
Net yields of 6–12% are realistic for well-located, well-operated villas. Returns drop quickly with poor location, weak operator, or oversupplied micro-markets — which is why due diligence on the operator matters as much as on the asset.
How do off-market property opportunities work in Bali?
Owners who don't want public exposure ask us to introduce the asset to a small qualified buyer list. Buyers who want first look on quality stock register their mandate with us. Both sides sign a confidentiality agreement before details are shared.
How do I get on the private register?
