Tourism recovery, remote work and geopolitical shifts have widened Bali’s appeal beyond its traditional base of holidaymakers, drawing a broader mix of foreign investors seeking both lifestyle and returns, said Zaq Qureshi, vice president at Bali-based brokerage Ayla Property.
“It’s not only digital nomads anymore and it’s not only Australians. We’re seeing high-net-worth investors looking at Bali as well,” Qureshi told The Jakarta Post on Monday.

Bali has emerged as a “relatively lower-cost” investment destination with fewer barriers to entry as some global investors reassessed markets such as Dubai and Thailand, while developers increasingly tailored products to foreign demand through designs, rental management and investment-focused offerings.
