Now deskbound dreams of escape to this celebrated tropical island can become a reality. Property in Bali has become much easier to acquire and maintain, thanks to many new real estate agents and management companies that have sprung up.
The Balinese are Hindu-Buddhists who have created a peaceful culture that was sadly rocked by a terrorist bomb that exploded outside a Kuta Beach nightclub in 2002. But they have rebounded. Hotels are now filled to capacity, especially during the summer vacation season in August. And the island was unscathed by the region’s recent tsunami and earthquakes.
Bali has been a holiday destination for nearly 30 years, yet it is still possible to find your own oasis, either by the beach or in the cooler mountain regions near Ubud. The second home market draws a wide range of vacationers, including Indonesians from Jakarta, Americans based in Asia as well as Australians.
