As the 2025 high season approaches, discerning travelers are no longer just booking villas — they’re buying them. The line between travel and lifestyle has blurred, giving rise to a new wave of global citizens seeking ownership in the world’s most captivating islands.
These destinations aren’t just beautiful — they’re investment opportunities disguised as daydreams. And at the center of it all? Bali — not just a vacation, but a vision waiting to be realized.
1. Bali, Indonesia – The Crown Jewel of the Tropics
Bali is more than a destination; it’s a lifestyle. From sunrise yoga on jungle decks to barefoot fine dining at sunset, Bali seduces at every turn. But behind the beauty lies a booming market — one built on growing infrastructure, digital nomad visa programs, and a shift toward high-end sustainable living.
Why People Are Buying in Bali:
- Properties in hotspots like Canggu, Bingin, and Ubud are experiencing year-on-year ROI increases of 12–18%.
- Bali’s 2025 property demand is fueled by returning global travelers and a rising tide of remote professionals.
- The government is rolling out digital nomad-friendly visa initiatives and expat-targeted tax incentives.
What Makes It Different:
Unlike other destinations where foreign ownership is limited to condos or timeshares, Bali offers long-term leasehold structures with full villa control — and through PT PMA setups, full ownership under your company is also an option.
Insider Insight:
Areas like Tumbak Bayuh and Pererenan are emerging as the “next Canggu” — offering style, space, and serenity with better entry points.
➡️ If you’re serious about claiming your piece of Bali, Amerta Bali Realty has exclusive access to listings not found online. These are the properties that never make it to public market — the true gems reserved for those in the know.
2. Tulum, Mexico – Where Bohemian Spirit Meets Investment Gold
Tulum has grown from a backpacker secret to a global phenomenon. Developers are responding with jungle-inspired villas, underground spas, and open-air residences tailored to the spiritual investor.
Why People Are Buying:
- International airport completed in 2024 has boosted access and tourism.
- Property values have doubled in five years.
- Sustainable development is rewarded — green-certified homes see higher booking rates and resale values.
3. Ibiza, Spain – The Mediterranean’s Most Sophisticated Playground
Beyond the beach clubs and sunset DJs lies a real estate market rooted in prestige. Think hilltop fincas, sea-view estates, and reformed 18th-century villas tucked between olive groves.
Why It’s Appealing:
- EU property laws provide security for international buyers.
- Prime short-term rental market during high season.
- Consistent demand from the European elite and remote entrepreneurs.
4. Mauritius – The Smart Expat’s Secret
Mauritius offers luxury with a side of strategy. Buyers gain residency, tax incentives, and a peaceful island life insulated from political or environmental instability.
Why It’s Worth Watching:
- Property purchase = long-term residency.
- Stable, English-speaking, investment-friendly.
- Designed for remote work and low taxes.
5. The Greek Islands – Mykonos, Paros, and Beyond
The Greek Isles represent heritage, hospitality, and high rental demand. Whether it’s a cliffside home on Santorini or a modern build on Paros, Greece invites you to live mythically.
So Why Bali, and Why Now?
Because unlike anywhere else on this list, Bali is still accessible. There’s still room to grow, still deals to be made, still land available in emerging areas before they explode.
You’re not just investing in a property — you’re investing in a future lifestyle, passive income, and possibly even a legacy.
