...Bingin and Uluwatu Lead Bali’s Villa Rental Yields...

Bingin and Uluwatu have emerged as the top areas for estimated villa rental yields in Bali, outperforming established property investment destinations such as Canggu and Seminyak, according to a new analysis by property data platform Brixfox. The analysis, released on October 14, 2026, examined 6,212 villas listed for sale across Bali and Lombok, comparing property prices with estimated rental income based on nearby Airbnb listings.

Bingin recorded the highest estimated median annual net rental yield at 7.7%, followed by Uluwatu at 7.3%. Canggu, one of Bali’s most popular villa investment destinations, ranked fifth at 6.0%. Three of the four highest-ranked locations, Bingin, Uluwatu, and Ungasan, are situated on Bali’s Bukit Peninsula, where lower median asking prices and relatively strong estimated rental occupancy contributed to higher projected returns.

The findings suggest that some areas of southern Bali may offer stronger potential rental income relative to acquisition costs, although actual investment performance can vary depending on individual properties and operating conditions. Brixfox’s analysis also highlighted the prevalence of leasehold arrangements across Bali’s villa market, with between 72% and 95% of villas listed for sale in the ten highest-ranked areas being offered under leasehold agreements.

“Most foreign buyers look at Canggu first, but the Bukit earns more for less money,” said Rogier de Groot, co-founder of Brixfox. “Just as important: on Bali you are usually buying time, not land. Check how many years are left on the lease before you compare yields.”

Brixfox cautioned that the figures represent modelled estimates rather than guaranteed returns, with actual rental performance depending on property characteristics, management, licensing, and individual owner.
