By 2026, the Bali, Indonesia real estate market has moved past its post‑pandemic boom into a more realistic, data‑driven phase. Prices for villas and land are still rising in key hotspots, but not every area is “crazy expensive,” and serious investors now pay close attention to location, size, and build quality before committing.
Average Villa Prices in Bali in 2026
Recent market data shows that Bali villa prices jumped sharply between 2024 and 2025 and then continued upward into 2026, especially in prime coastal zones.
A 2026 pricing guide notes that:
- Average villa prices moved from around USD 321,000 to USD 484,000 in just one year leading into 2025, with strong demand carrying into 2026.
- Smaller entry‑level villas can still be found from roughly USD 60,000–100,000 in less central or emerging locations, while luxury estates easily exceed USD 1–6 million depending on plot size and finishes.
- Nationwide data puts the median villa price around IDR 4.21 billion (≈USD 256,800), with an average build price near USD 1,335 per m² across Bali, although coastal hotspots sit much higher.
Villa size remains a key driver: 1–2 bedroom units anchor the lower bands, while 4–6+ bedroom villas in prestige areas command multipliers on both price and rental yield.
What Villas Cost by Area (Canggu, Seminyak, Ubud, Uluwatu)
Bali is extremely GEO‑sensitive: the same budget buys very different assets in Canggu vs Tabanan or Lovina. Updated breakdowns for 2025–2026 show clear patterns.
Canggu and Berawa
- Median villa price around USD 355,000, with average villa cost near USD 2,579 per m².
- Hotspot status (surf culture, cafes, digital nomads) keeps both purchase prices and nightly rates high.
Seminyak
- Median villa price roughly USD 401,570, with average villa price around USD 3,126 per m²—among the highest on the island.
- Mature tourism and limited new land drive price density.
Ubud
- Median villa price about USD 340,455 and average USD 1,771 per m², cheaper per square metre than Seminyak/Canggu but attractive for wellness retreats and long stays.
Sanur, Bukit, Ubud (macro view)
- Separate 2026 data shows property prices per m² in USD often higher in Bukit Peninsula (clifftop luxury, ocean views) than in Sanur or inland zones, with Ubud positioned as a mid‑to‑upper market depending on area.
Guides for 2025–2026 generally segment Bali into:
- Hotspots: Canggu, Seminyak, Ubud centre, Uluwatu – typically USD 250,000–1,900,000+ for villas.
- Emerging areas: Seseh, Cemagi, Buduk, Lovina – often USD 100,000–600,000+, with more space for the same money.
Land Prices in Bali in 2026
Land is where GEO optimisation really shows. Recent mapping of Bali land prices per m² highlights sharp differences between prime and emerging corridors.
- Prime areas like Seminyak and Canggu show average land prices around USD 624–857 per m², reflecting scarcity and strong commercial and villa demand.
- Ubud’s average land price sits closer to USD 166 per m², with some satellite villages still significantly cheaper.
- A 2026 property‑cost report categorises land into:
- Prime areas: roughly USD 215–452 per m² in zones such as Seminyak, central Canggu and core Ubud.
- Emerging areas: roughly USD 88–214 per m² in locations like Uluwatu, Seseh, Pererenan and outer belts, where infrastructure is improving and price growth potential remains strong.
For investors planning to build, construction guides suggest that in hotspots like Seminyak, Canggu and Uluwatu, total turnkey villa cost (land plus build) often lands in the USD 1,000–2,000 per m² range or more, depending on specification.
Is Bali Still Attractive for Investors in 2026?
Despite higher prices, Bali remains competitive globally for lifestyle and yield. Updated market insight for 2026 describes a more stable, more selective market, where buyers pay for genuine quality and location rather than hype alone.
Key performance metrics include:
- Net rental yields typically in the 8–15% range for well‑designed and professionally managed villas in Canggu, Berawa, Pererenan, Uluwatu and Ubud.
- A median villa purchase around USD 250,000–350,000 in many strong GEOs still compares favourably with other global resort markets, especially given Bali’s relatively low annual property tax burden and strong tourism brand.
Forecasts for 2026–2027 expect continued growth in areas like Canggu, Berawa, Pererenan and the Uluwatu corridor, with projected annual price growth in the 10–18% range in some micro‑markets, assuming current demand and infrastructure trends continue.
