Trend 3: Gated Residences for Digital Nomads
Buying a villa in Bali as an investment offers real benefits due to the anticipated price growth. Gated residences, another trend for 2025 aimed at digital nomads, are part of this.
The demand for premium coworking spaces, such as those with Starlink internet, is growing.
The most expensive areas in Bali and simultaneously trendy locations include Pererenan and Umalas.
Residential projects for digital nomads offer convenient conditions for both work and relaxation. They provide all the necessary amenities for remote work, including high-speed internet, comfortable workspaces, and also integrate socialization and relaxation elements.
Here are a few examples of such residences in Bali:
Hubud is one of the first and most famous coworking spaces in Bali, located in Ubud. It’s not just a coworking space but a whole eco-social center for digital nomads, where you can rent working spaces and comfortable living spaces.
Services provided: High-speed internet, conference rooms, coworking areas, relaxation zones, gym, 24/7 access, and events for networking and professional development.
Location: Ubud is a popular area among digital nomads, known for its nature and culture.
Dojo Bali is a coworking and residential space aimed at digital nomads, with flexible living and working zones. Dojo offers coworking spaces, shared living arrangements, and private villas.

Location: Canggu, one of the most popular areas among digital nomads, known for its vibrant cultural life, beaches, and relaxed atmosphere.
Trend 4: Villa Art Galleries
Villa art galleries deserve special attention, as they are emerging thanks to collaborations with local artists. One such example is interiors with murals from Ubud. Many dream of living in such a unique setting, especially by the ocean.
In a mansion in Seminyak, every item is part of an installation.
Villas with art galleries offer guests not only comfort and seclusion but also a cultural experience. Many tourists are looking for unique experiences in Bali, not just a place to stay, and renting such properties is an ideal option for art lovers.
Many guests come to Bali to restore their energy and get inspired by nature and art. Villas with galleries create an atmosphere where art and nature merge, promoting meditation and personal development.
Such properties can also be used to host cultural events, such as exhibitions, workshops, lectures, and parties, attracting both local and international guests.
One of the main advantages is the potential for increased income. Villas that include an art gallery can gain fame due to their unique style. This offers owners the opportunity to attract wealthy and cultured tourists who are willing to pay for unusual and luxurious living conditions.
Trend 5: Investment in "Experience Real Estate"
Another trend is purchasing properties under the management of luxury hotel chains (Four Seasons, COMO).
Return on investment: 8-12% per year in USD.
This provides an additional opportunity for rental income. The key point is that foreigners cannot directly own land in Indonesia, but they can lease real estate for long-term periods (25–70 years) through Hak Sewa (leasehold rights) or use a special structure through a company (for example, PT PMA — a foreign investment company), which has the right to own land.
In the case of Hak Pakai (use rights) and other rights, the property can be transferred to the management of a hotel chain, but this must be agreed upon with lawyers in advance.
For foreign investors, the most suitable option is to create a foreign investment company (PT PMA), which can own property in Indonesia. In this case, the company will use leasehold rights for land.
After creating PT PMA, you can enter into a contract with a luxury hotel chain to manage your property. The terms of the agreement can involve a revenue share from rent or another form of cooperation, with the hotel network handling management, marketing, cleaning, and other aspects of the business.
One of the main advantages of working with a luxury hotel chain is branding the property under a prestigious network. This allows you to attract higher-paying clients.
Many hotel chains offer guaranteed income, usually in the form of a percentage of the profit or a fixed rental amount.
Hotel chains often have large customer bases, ensuring a constant flow of tourists, and thus a high level of profitability.
"How to Fit into the Trends?"
It’s quite easy to fit into the trends:
- “Choose properties with LEED or Green Mark certificates.”
- “Request profitability reports for the last 3 years.”
- “Look for villas for rent with a 'wow' effect (e.g., underwater windows in the pool).”
