Bali Villa Investment ROI: What Returns Can You Expect?

Bali is one of the best places to invest in a villa. Many tourists visit the island every year, and many of them prefer staying in private villas. Because of this, many owners want to know: How much ROI (Return on Investment) can a villa in Bali make?

The answer is different for every villa. Your yearly income depends on many factors. In this blog, we will explain the most important ones.

1. Location of the Villa

Location is the number one factor for income.

Popular high-demand areas:

• Canggu

• Seminyak

• Ubud

• Uluwatu

• Berawa

• Pererenan

Villas in these areas usually have higher occupancy and higher nightly rates. Villas far from tourist areas usually earn less.

2. Design and Building Quality

Guests love villas that:

• Are clean

• Look modern

• Have nice interiors

• Have a private pool

• Feel bright and comfortable

Good design = good photos = more bookings. Old or poorly maintained villas usually earn less.

3. Number of Bedrooms

More bedrooms can mean more income.

Examples:

• 1-bedroom villa → good for couples

• 2–3 bedroom villa → great for families

• 4+ bedrooms → best for groups

The most stable income usually comes from 2–3 bedroom villas because many guests look for this size.

4. Occupancy Rate

Occupancy rate means how often your villa is booked. This changes across the year:

High season: June–August, December–January Low season: February–April

A well-managed villa can reach 70–90% occupancy per year. A poorly managed villa may only reach 30–50% occupancy.

5. Nightly Price

Your nightly rate depends on:

• Location

• Design and style

• Professional photos

• Facilities

• Reviews

• Season (high or low)

Many management companies use dynamic pricing, which adjusts prices daily to increase income.

6. Villa Management Quality

Good management can make a big difference.

A professional team will:

• Reply to guests fast

• Handle check-in and check-out

• Manage staff

• Keep the villa clean

• Maintain the property

• Optimize your listing on Airbnb and Booking.com

Good management can increase income by 15–40%.

7. Guest Reviews and Ratings

Reviews are very important for online bookings.

If your villa has:

• High ratings (4.8 and above)

• Many good reviews

• Great photos

• Happy guests

You can:

• Charge a higher price

• Get more bookings

• Rank higher in search results

Bad reviews will quickly reduce your income.

8. Extra Facilities

Guests pay more for villas with:

• A nice big pool

• Bathtub

• Full kitchen

• Fast Wi-Fi

• Daily cleaning

• Breakfast service

• Smart TV

• Working desk

Better facilities = higher income.

9. Operational Costs

To calculate real ROI, you must also consider the monthly expenses:

• Staff salaries

• Electricity and water

• Internet

• Laundry

• Pool & garden maintenance

• Repairs

• Management fee

• Taxes

High costs will reduce your final profit.

Not all villas in Bali make the same ROI. But with good location, nice design, proper management, and regular maintenance, many villas can earn 8–15% ROI per year, sometimes even more.

The keys to high ROI are:

1. Choose a good location

2. Build or renovate with strong design

3. Use professional management

4. Optimize pricing and occupancy
