Today we want to discuss construction in Bali, for some this can be a sore point as most people think building here in Bali is as simple as 1,2,3 but lets discuss it a bit further.    If you have recently travelled to the Island of Gods, you may have noticed the significant development surge the island is experiencing, from the beautiful hills and cliff side spots in Uluwatu to the volcanic shored of Tabanan – let’s not forget everything in between. The property market has been soaring since the pandemic and more and more people are looking for sustainable lifestyle changes. More and More new designs are on offer all over the island Bali is well known to travellers; tourism is at a high and has dubbed the island as one of the best destinations to visit in the world. We all love the island for all its natural landscapes and rich cultural heritage, from the majestic waterwalls, to Sprawling rice fields, White sandy shores and so much more. As the island is expanding rapidly, construction activities are mostly done by local and international developers. Some with a fantastic understanding of the island and its building regulations and some that don’t pay much mind. Let’s talk about those who do care, shall we? Key regulations encompass limits on building height, design and style mandates, earthquake resistance measures, materials guidelines, and fire safety provisions, all of which are in place to ensure the safety of all structures in Bali. Let’s look at some of the regulations     1) Building Height Regulation  Now, lets be real, not many of them listen.  Having protected views have become increasingly more difficult to obtain or keep for that matter. In real estate, when asked the first thing we tell clients, properties might have views now, but we cannot guarantee that these views will be there forever.   The government has some strict regulations that they try enforce to maintain the unique Bali identity in all the tourist areas. In saying that building hight restrictions vary from Commercial to residential (Tourist / non tourist) areas in Bali. For tourist areas it is 15 meters and non-tourist areas you can go as high as 18 meters. Now when land is situated close to or next to temples or cultural sites there will be stricter limits imposed.     2) Building Designs  In Bali you can find many uniquely designed properties offering an experience from each corner of the globe, but still offering that Bali touch However, when it comes to designs, upon application you do need to stick to the local building codes to protect and preserve Balis heritage. Buildings must comply with cultural and aesthetic traditions while meeting safety requirements, ensuring that new constructions blend harmoniously with the island's traditional designs. After all, we are in Bali.   3) Earthquakes and Other Nature disaster  We all know Bali is situated within the “Ring of fire” and experience small to medium size quakes all year round. When it comes buildings codes in Bali, it mandates the implementation of earthquake-resistant and other natural disaster-resilient design measures, including but not limited to:   1) Building and structural designs are vital in the contraction phases. Ensuring that buildings are designed with a robust framework, that can withstand earthquakes. Reinforced concrete, steel or other materials that distributes and absorbs the force throughout the structure. Building foundations are key here, such as piling or caissons, that helps ensuring the stability of the building during any earthquake.     2) Construction processes must adhere to methods and techniques to ensure durability. This includes solid and secure connections between structural elements and proper reinforcement in concrete structures.   3) Bali strongly emphasize using environmentally friendly and sustainable materials.   4) Building codes prioritize fire safety, encompassing comprehensive regulations to ensure that buildings can effectively handle emergencies.   5) Additionally, regulations address water absorption to prevent flooding. These provisions ensure that buildings are equipped with proper drainage and water management systems to handle heavy rains and to avoid water from pooling, thus protecting the structures and their occupants from the potential dangers of flooding.   In Bali, these regulations are overseen by the Balinese and Indonesian governments. Buildings must be constructed to withstand frequent earthquakes, high wind speeds, and so on. Moreover, the regulations mandate that buildings maintain the island's aesthetic and cultural heritage, thus preserving its distinct character.   Compliance with these regulations ensures legal adherence and is paramount in safeguarding the island's natural allure for future generations.   So if you are considering building, take a second to really do some homework on the construction Team you employ, the designs you considering and if ultimately you would buy from yourself.  

So, you’ve secured your investment or home in Bali—but have you thought about protecting that asset? Let’s talk about the importance of property insurance. Bali is famous for its stunning beaches, lush green landscapes, and vibrant culture. However, the “Island of the Gods” also faces risks such as natural disasters, theft, and other unexpected factors that could threaten your property or place of residence.  The Risk of Natural Disasters According to BMKG (Badan Meteorologi, Klimatologi, dan Geofisika), Bali experiences around 99 earthquakes per year, some of which can cause significant structural damage. Given the region’s geological characteristics, earthquakes can strike without warning. Then there’s the rainy season—if you’ve spent time in Bali, you’ve probably experienced it firsthand. While the island enjoys some of the best weather in the world, heavy rains can cause flooding, especially in areas with poor drainage and infrastructure. This can lead to water damage, affecting both the structure and the contents of your villa. A reliable property insurance policy can help protect you from the financial impact of these natural seasonal risks, ensuring that your investment remains secure and you can recover quickly from unexpected events. Fire Hazards in Bali Villas Fire protection is another crucial aspect of property insurance, especially given Bali’s unique architectural styles. Many villas incorporate traditional materials such as bamboo, wood, and other natural elements that enhance their aesthetic appeal. However, these materials also come with inherent fire risks. Bamboo and wooden structures, while beautiful and sustainable, are more vulnerable to fire hazards. Bamboo contains natural oils, and wood has high cellulose content—both of which are flammable, especially during the dry season or if a nearby fire spreads. Having a solid insurance policy ensures that, in the event of a fire, your investment is covered for repairs or rebuilding, giving you financial security and peace of mind. Theft Protection – A Necessary Precaution No one likes to think about theft, but it’s a reality that property owners must consider. Bali villas are often designed to maximize airflow, natural light, and open spaces, creating an incredible living experience. However, these design elements can also present security vulnerabilities. During peak tourist seasons, opportunistic thieves may take advantage of unsecured entry points. Investing in additional security measures—such as alarm systems, smart locks, and reinforced doors—can help minimize risk. Moreover, including theft protection in your property insurance policy provides peace of mind, not just for you as the owner but also for guests renting your villa. Simplifying Your Insurance Journey Getting property insurance in Bali is straightforward, but it requires some preparation. To start, you’ll need to provide basic information to your insurer. Here’s what you’ll need: 1) A photo of your villa or an Airbnb listing link2) The exact address or Google Maps location 3) Estimated building value (in IDR)4) Estimated contents value (in IDR) 5) Desired liability coverage (typically between IDR 500 million and 2.5 billion) A quick Google search can help you find a trusted insurance provider, or you can seek assistance from your real estate agent. Protect Your Investment – Be Smart We hope this guide has helped you understand the importance of protecting your Bali property with the right insurance coverage.

Knowing where you would like to be based, for primary property is important, what you want to be surrounded by and the kind of lifestyle you would like to have. For investment its more common to consider what “potential renters” would want when visiting the island. Proximity to popular attractions, beaches, and amenities for holiday makers is very important, but for primary residential owners it may be a quieter tranquil location. Seminyak, Sanur, Umalas and some locations like Balangan offer a mix of both, ensuring a perfect blend for a comfortable living experience.

Secure Financing If you’re not paying for the villa outright, securing financing is the next step.

Complete the Purchase Process Once you’ve settled on the perfect villa, it’s time to complete the purchase. This process involves signing the sale agreement, transferring the deposit, and completing all necessary paperwork.   It’s highly recommended to work with a lawyer during this stage to ensure that all contracts and documents are legitimate and meet local requirements.   In conclusion, villa in Bali present an incredible investment opportunity with high returns.
