Someone told me there are 2,000 villa construction projects currently going on in Bali. Who knows for sure how many there are, but in my area, Seminyak and the surrounding areas, there is certainly no shortage of existing villas, and new projects.
Seems to me there are more people moving to Bali / Indonesia as expats. I don’t know about other people who live here, but I seem to be always running into people, who have ‘just moved to Bali a year ago’. With that in mind, I thought it might be useful to list some websites to help the other half of humanity, who still haven’t moved here.
Chatting with a friend last night I learned there are 2 new resorts being built on the Bukit Peninsula. Apparently there will be a golf course too. My friend said they have dumped soil to build the bunkers and its all go.
It would be perfect to have quake resistant buildings and houses throughout the archipelago of Indonesia and in doing so it would dramatically lessen the damage costs and loss of life.
Okay Baliblog worldwide audience, who wants to run their very own guest house in Bali? Bingin is one of the choice surf spots in Bali, located close to Dreamland on the Bukit peninsula. Here’s how you can get that guest house.
Bali is a desirable place to live for many people. Within that broad statement, there are certain desirable spots to place that dream house, or villa.
Many people dream of moving to Bali and finding a job. Legally and realistically its not hard. You can get hold of any type of visa you like simply by hiring an immigration consultant and the government does not come sniffing around individuals for tax purposes. The main problem for new arrivals is what do you do. I get emails from people on a regular basis who ask me, ‘do you know how I can make money?’, ‘what is your suggestion for me?’ My suggestion is that you figure out how to make money at home, then when you come to Bali you will know what direction to go in. The expat newspaper, The Bali Advertiser, carries ads offering jobs and requesting jobs. I see the same requests month after month.
Visiting Bali in 1993, I had the opportunity of visiting a lady who owned a house at Batubelig beach in Seminyak. The house was a lovely western style bungalow, bamboo / alang alang roof, with 3 bedrooms, living room, kitchen etc.
Late last year I was down on the Bukit Peninsula with some Balinese friends of mine having a look around. I was eager to check out Pura Uluwatu to see if any changes had occurred as I had not been there for a while.
Villas, villas, villas. That’s becoming Bali’s best crop. Move over rice farmers (figuratively and literally), that field close to town is worth money. Just the other day Ika and I were riding around in Umalas and Canggu checking out the landscape. The land is being divided into blocks and sectioned off with high brick walls. Villa construction is going on rapid fire.
