Crews are working on two. We track where each one stands in September 2026 and how much of it we'd pay for in the price of a villa.

We count a project as real when there's a signed contract and machinery on site. Everything else in the table is an announcement, however official it sounds. Dates change often in Bali, so each row carries its source.

Land on the islands east of Bali costs a fraction of Badung prices, and buyers ask us about it every month. What each one offers in 2026 is real. So is what it lacks, and the holding period runs longer than in Bali.

The only reliable growth signal on these islands is the airport. Nobody publishes land deals, and hotel statistics are patchy. So we compare them on access, demand, entry price and how easily you could sell. Every price below is an asking price from agency listings, not a recorded sale.

The single person rents a scooter and eats at warungs. The couple cooks at home and eats out a few times a week, with a part-time cleaner. The family adds a housekeeper, a second helmet and school fees, and tuition outweighs everything else.

A couple spends about twice what one person does, not three times. A family with a child in school spends six times as much, and more than half of that is tuition. Add housing from the next section, then check it against a real week on the island.

Each skipped step costs money.

Start with how long you plan to stay. A visa on arrival covers 30 days and one 30-day extension, at Rp 500,000 each time. That's enough to scout the island. It isn't enough to live here, and a long-stay permit is a separate application with its own paperwork.

For a year or more you'll want a <a href="/glossary/#kitas">KITAS</a>, and the type depends on where your money comes from. Remote workers with clients abroad take the <a href="/glossary/#e33g">E33G</a>. People who invest through their own Indonesian company take the <a href="/glossary/#e28a">E28A</a>. Spouses and children of a permit holder go on a family KITAS, and retirees have their own route. Our <a href="/guides/indonesia-long-stay-visas/">long-stay visa guide</a> compares them, and the <a href="/guides/indonesia-golden-visa/">Golden Visa guide</a> covers the five- and ten-year investor track.

Indonesian law doesn't care where your laptop is. It cares whom you work for. The Immigration Law 6/2011 treats doing something other than the purpose you entered for as misuse of your permit. Article 122 allows a sentence of up to five years and a fine as high as Rp 500 million, and the same article applies to anyone who employs you.

Selling services to people in Bali is local work, even if the clients come from your home country and pay into a foreign account. A yoga class, a photo shoot, a consulting session for a villa owner: all of it needs a work permit. Answering emails for a company in Sydney doesn't, as long as you hold the right visa for it.

Decide first whether the villa earns, houses your family or waits for your holidays, and the island shrinks to two or three names.

Most buyers pick the area where they enjoyed their last holiday. That works for a two-week stay, when a beach 100 meters away matters most. It fails for a family that needs a school run of 20 minutes rather than 45 in traffic.

Owners who lived here for a couple of years tend to move inland. In our client base since 2023, people who started in Canggu usually ended up in Umalas, Sanur or Pererenan and kept Canggu for work and dinners. If you're buying to live, you can skip that first year of trial and error.

Villas in both areas now ask almost the same money, so the choice comes down to noise, surf and how much new supply you're willing to compete with.

Pererenan starts just north-west of Canggu, across a small river, in the Mengwi district of Badung regency. Echo Beach is about ten minutes away, and the airport 40–60 minutes depending on traffic. Plenty of "Canggu" villas sit on the Mengwi side. Read the address.

The difference shows at night. Canggu runs on beach clubs, gyms and coworking spaces packed into a few streets. Pererenan has the same third-wave cafés, but rice fields still separate them, and the main road empties after dinner.

The school, the beach club and the footpaths opened before most of the houses, which is the reverse of how Bali usually grows.

Nuanu sits on the south-west coast in Beraban village, Kediri district, part of Tabanan regency. It lies between Seseh and the Tanah Lot temple. Pererenan is about ten minutes down the coast road, central Canggu 15–30 minutes depending on traffic, and the airport roughly an hour away.

The beach is black volcanic sand with a strong shore break, so it's for watching sunsets and surfing, not for swimming. There's no public transport. Residents get around by scooter, car or ride-hailing apps.

We rebuilt it from official statistics, with a number and a date for each point, so you can weigh it against the upside.

Most people who leave Bali don't leave because of crime or earthquakes. They leave because of traffic, visa admin and a medical scare that showed them the limits of local care. The upside is just as concrete: a household can run on less than at home, private clinics see you the same day, and there's always someone who has solved your problem before.

Both columns fit on one screen. Each point then gets its own section, with the figure and its source.

We took the 2026–27 fee sheets of Bali's main international schools line by line and added the charges that sit outside the tuition column.

Start with what the schools publish themselves, not the ranges on review sites. All three post a full fee sheet. Canggu Community School runs from early years to the IB Diploma. Bali Island School sits in Sanur, and Green School teaches in bamboo buildings in the jungle south of Ubud.

The spread is wide even inside one school. At Canggu Community School, the final IB year costs more than twice the early years. Green School's early-years class for five-year-olds costs more than a senior year at some other schools.

Indonesia doesn't demand cover at the border, so many skip it until the first serious bill.

Most foreigners use private hospitals and clinics in the south. BIMC runs hospitals in Kuta and Nusa Dua, and Siloam Hospitals Bali operates a full hospital with maternity and neonatal intensive care, according to family guides. Smaller clinics in Canggu, Seminyak, Ubud and Uluwatu handle everyday cases and refer on.

Two public anchors complete the map. Ngoerah General Hospital in Denpasar, called Sanglah until 2022, is the island's main referral hospital. Bali International Hospital opened in April 2025 inside the Sanur Special Economic Zone. It logged 14,950 patient visits up to the first quarter of 2026, and 60% of patients came from abroad, according to Indonesia's economic affairs ministry.
