Introduction: Why Nusa Dua Attracts Investors
Nusa Dua isn't just Bali's premium resort with white sand beaches and five-star hotels. For investors, it represents one of the island's most stable and predictable rental real estate markets. High demand from affluent tourists, concentration of global hotel infrastructure (Ritz-Carlton, Kempinski, St. Regis), and limited supply make it particularly attractive for investment.
In this article, based on data from Mirra Centre's analytical platform, we examine a real investment case study and analyze the factors that enable a 5-year return on investment.
To assess the attractiveness of any opportunity, it must be compared against market realities. Our analytics, based on research of 42 two-bedroom villas in Nusa Dua, reveal the following competitive advantages:
| Parameter | Analyzed Project | Nusa Dua Market Average | Investor Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Villa Area | 127 m² | 97 m² | +31% usable area |
| Price per unit | IDR 4.72B ($295,000) | IDR 5.57B ($348,000) | 15% below market |
| Price per m² | IDR 37.2M ($2,323) | IDR 57.4M ($3,588) | 35% discount |
Conclusion: The investor gets a larger property at a significantly lower price per square meter, creating a reliable "safety margin" and potential for capital growth.
Let's examine a detailed 5-year forecast that includes one year of construction and four full years of rental operation. Based on conservative 85% occupancy rate confirmed by property management data.
| Parameter | Value | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Acquisition cost | IDR 4.72B ($295,000) | Direct developer price |
| Projected value upon completion | IDR 5.66B ($354,000) | 20% capitalization |
| Rental income (annual) | IDR 660.8M ($41,300) | 14% annual yield |
| Resale value after 5 years | IDR 6.61B ($413,000) | 40% capital gain |
| Total return over 5 years | IDR 4.53B ($283,200) | 96% return on investment |
Total return calculation: rental income over 4 years plus resale profit.
This case study demonstrates that Nusa Dua continues to offer quality investment opportunities. The key success factors aren't just the premium location, but also selecting the right property — one that offers the best price-to-quality ratio on the market.
A 5-year return on investment is an achievable goal when combining three factors: entry price below market average, unique product appealing to tenants, and professional management. Opportunities meeting all these criteria make Nusa Dua worthy of serious consideration for investors targeting medium-term horizons with resale potential.
