Tabanan

Yes, but not freehold. Hak Milik, Indonesian freehold, is for Indonesian citizens only. Most foreign buyers in Bali take a leasehold: a contract with the Indonesian landowner, usually for 25 to 30 years, signed as a notarial deed, with an extension only if the contract provides for it. The other route is Hak Pakai, a registered right of use that a foreign individual with valid immigration documents can hold. On privately owned land it runs for up to 30 years and is renewed only by a new deed the owner agrees to, and in Bali the minimum price for a foreign buyer is IDR 5 billion for a house and IDR 2 billion for an apartment. Never put land in an Indonesian nominee's name: such arrangements are void, and a 2026 Bali regulation bans them.

West of Badung, on Bali's south-west coast. Tabanan town is about 30 km by road from Ngurah Rai airport, around an hour in normal traffic. The south of the regency borders the Canggu coast: Kaba-Kaba, for example, is about 13 minutes from Seseh Beach. Tanah Lot lies about 13 km south of Tabanan town and 20 km north-west of Denpasar.

Only where the zoning allows. Tabanan is Bali's main rice regency and its subak landscape is UNESCO listed. The regency limits star-rated hotels to protect farmland, Bali's governor halted commercial building on productive land and water catchments in September 2025, and a provincial regulation signed in February 2026 limits farmland conversion. Land in an agricultural zone cannot lawfully take a villa. For any project, check the zoning, the building approval (PBG) issued before construction and, once finished, the certificate of function (SLF).

Quieter and more rural than Canggu. Villages keep their temples, ceremonies and rice fields, and the coast is black sand with surf at Nyanyi and Kedungu. Tabanan town has markets, shops and the regency's state hospital. For cafés, supermarkets, international schools and private hospitals most residents of the south drive into Canggu, Kuta or Denpasar. In the north, Jatiluwih and Bedugul are cooler hill country of terraces and lakes.

Only through a licensed business. Short stays count as an accommodation business that needs a business number (NIB) with the right activity code through the national OSS system, plus a tax number, and guests pay a regional hotel tax of up to 10%. A foreign owner usually lets through a licensed Indonesian operator or through their own foreign-owned company (PT PMA). From August 2026 unlicensed listings have been removed from the large booking platforms, so ask the developer how the property will be licensed.

No. Indonesia grants no visa for buying a villa on a leasehold. The Second Home Visa asks for at least US$130,000 held in a state-owned Indonesian bank or, on the official terms, the purchase of an apartment worth at least US$1 million, and gives a stay permit of up to five years, extendable to ten.

Predmet.Cascade by Predmet, a complex of 16 villas in Kaba-Kaba whose terraced design takes its cue from the rice fields around it. It is about 13 minutes from Seseh Beach and next to the developer's Predmet.Kabakaba resort, whose bar, restaurant and infinity pool residents can use. Palmera also lists projects in Kedungu and Nyanyi, which have their own area pages. Current prices and terms are on each project page.
