Thinking about living, retiring or buying property in Bali? Here’s everything I’ve learned from researching the market, exploring the different areas and understanding what it’s really like to make Bali your home.

- Pros & Cons of Living in Bali: Bali has plenty going for it, from its warm climate and relatively affordable cost of living to its strong expat communities and beautiful surroundings. But living here isn’t perfect. Traffic, bureaucracy, limited healthcare and other practical issues are all part of daily life and should be considered before you make the move.

LIVING & RESIDENCY
- Cost of Living: How much does it really cost to live in Bali? Your budget will depend heavily on where you live and the lifestyle you choose. I’ll look at accommodation, food, transport, healthcare and the other everyday costs you’ll need to consider when planning a move to Bali.
- Healthcare: Healthcare is an important consideration when moving abroad, particularly if you’re planning to retire in Bali. The island has hospitals and clinics that cater to expats, but the quality and availability of care can vary. I’ll look at healthcare options, insurance and what to consider before choosing where to live.
- Safety: Safety is one of the first things to consider when choosing somewhere to live abroad. Bali is generally considered a safe place to live, but there are still things to be aware of, including petty theft, traffic and the differences between busy tourist areas and quieter parts of the island.
- Expat Community: One of Bali’s biggest attractions is its international community. From long-term expats and retirees to digital nomads and families, you’ll find established communities across the island. I’ll look at where expats tend to live, how to meet people and what life is really like once you settle in.
