The capital of the country is currently the city of Jakarta, but in the coming years the state plan to move the capital of the country to the island of Kalimantan to the city of Nusantara will be implemented. Administratively, the territory of Indonesia is divided into 38 units, the vast majority of which are provinces, and two are special districts.
The Republic of Indonesia is a member of a large number of international organizations: the United Nations, the G20, BRICS, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, as well as other organizations. The Indonesian climate is equatorial and subequatorial with high humidity (an average of 80%).
The country has a developed economy, a dynamic real estate market, in which thousands of Indonesian developers work, as well as hundreds of thousands of real estate agencies and individual real estate agents specializing in real estate in the country.
The main locations for international investors are the islands of Bali, Lombok, Gili, as well as the capital of the state - the city of Jakarta.
The country has a rich variety of apartments in new and resale residential complexes, as well as many individual residential construction projects, mainly villas. Indonesia also has a huge number of commercial real estate objects: warehouses and retail facilities, industrial premises, office buildings.
Indonesia, especially the island of Bali, is an attractive destination for real estate investment. The mild climate, steady growth of tourist flow and a wide choice of housing attract buyers from all over the world. However, the process of acquiring real estate in Indonesia requires careful preparation and understanding of local legislation. Real estate investors from all over the world are interested in Indonesian real estate, as it increases in value every year and has significant rental demand, which is not seasonal. Foreigners are only allowed to purchase real estate through a long-term leasehold or "right to use" (Hak Pakai), as full ownership is available only to Indonesian citizens.
There are several ratings of developers in Indonesia that help potential buyers determine the reliability of a company. Such ratings are often based on customer experience, the quality of completed projects and the level of service. On our website you can find reviews of the largest construction companies in the world. Some of the well-known developers in Indonesia include Ciputra Group, Agung Podomoro, and Bali Realty.
Next, we will continue to describe the possible route of tourists and investors in Indonesia, scheduled by day. You can read the previous parts on the page about Indonesia and about real estate developers in Indonesia.
The seven Sekumpul waterfalls in northern Bali are considered the highest and most beautiful on the island. The water falls from a height of 80 meters. The path to the waterfalls runs through the jungle, along the way you will find several viewing platforms with a view of the cascading water. The waterfalls are fed by different sources and are quite full-flowing. The water in them is cool, you can plunge into some of the waterfalls. In sunny weather, many rainbows appear near the falling streams. For a safe and complete walk to the waterfalls, we recommend that you take a guide.
After lunch, you will reach the Jatiluwih rice terraces. These terraces are a real monument to human labor. In 2012, the terraces were included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. There are hiking and cycling routes on the Jatiluwih rice terraces, there are signs, so it is difficult to get lost. Along the paths there are observation platforms, restaurants and hotels.
Jatiluwih is more than three hundred hectares of rice fields, where almost 400 people work. Only in Bali can you see a complex irrigation system known as “Subak” - a carefully designed network of canals through which water from mountain rivers provides irrigation of rice fields. Thanks to this system, the harvest is collected three to four times a year.
In the morning we headed to the Bayan Ancient Tree, which is located near the Jatiluwih rice terraces. It is believed that this tree is about 500-700 years old, and its height is more than 80 meters. Next to the tree is a temple and rice terraces, not far away there is a good cafe with a view of this giant.
After that we went to the Alas Kedaton Monkey Forest Nature Park. Its total area is 12 hectares, it has many tropical plants, paths, alleys, playgrounds and buildings. In Alas Kedaton, animals roam freely around the territory. Here you can meet Javan long-tailed macaques and flying foxes. Visitors, with the help of an accompanying park ranger, can feed the monkeys, as well as take pictures with kalongs. In addition to meeting the monkeys, you can visit the local sanctuary and buy souvenirs as a keepsake.
In the evening, return to Ubud and visit the Amare Villas complex.
One of the places that impressed us most was the Setia Darma House of Mask and Puppets - a museum of masks and puppet theater. It was founded in 2006 by businessman Hadi Sunyoto, who collected masks and dolls from different regions of Indonesia. The museum's collection contains more than 7,000 exhibits, including 1,300 masks and 5,700 puppets from around the world.
Puppet theater is an integral part of the life of every Balinese. Only a priest can be a puppeteer, and only in his temple. Performances are not only entertaining, but also educational, they are shown on religious holidays, at weddings, at the birth of children, even when someone from the locals changes their name and for state propaganda.
During the walk, you can explore the museum's garden or relax in its cafe. We recommend using the services of a guide - this way you can get a lot of interesting information about the traditions, history and culture of the Balinese.
The next stop is Goa Gajah - the temple of the elephant cave. The temple complex is located in a small gorge, its main object is the elephant cave (Elephant Cave), carved into the rock massif. The entrance to the cave is framed with bas-reliefs and ornaments. Fifteen niches for meditation and offerings are carved inside. In front of the cave there is a spring with baths for ablutions.
In the adjacent territory there are pavilions, temples, statues. You can walk along forest paths to the Pura Petapan temple, a pond with lilies, a waterfall and the Pankung River. In the park you will find huge bas-reliefs carved into the rocks, as well as the cave of the giants Goa Raksasa.
Next, go to the Antonio Blanco Museum in Ubud, it is located in the villa where the artist lived and worked. Blanco is known for his paintings glorifying female beauty and human vices, complemented by the author's frames. The exhibition also includes unfinished works of the master, and there is an observation deck on the roof. The inner courtyard of the museum invites you to leisurely walks and relaxation.
On this day we visited the Citadel by PARQ villa complex. The complex is located in a cliff, just 7 minutes drive from the most beautiful beach on the island of Bali - Melasti.
Security here is at the highest level: the guards are armed, and the entire territory is under constant video surveillance. Entry is by biometric data. The complex has a separate room with safe deposit boxes, and each house has a panic button. If necessary, you can add any security elements. Seismic resistance, fire department and insect protection requirements are also taken into account.
The paved artist's trail - Campuhan Ridge Walk Ubud - on the mountain range of Campuhan, stretches from the small temple of Pura Gunung Lebah to the entrance to the village of Bangkian Sidem. The length of the trail is two kilometers.
Along the way, you can enjoy views of the jungle and houses along the banks of the Wos and Campuhan rivers. After the walk, you can go to see the residential complex Kiara Ocean Place and stop by the biosphere reserve Monkey Forest Ubud in the village of Padangtegal. About seven hundred long-tailed macaques live here. In the central part of the forest there is a square with a fountain, from which an alley with statues of mythical creatures and animals begins.
Further, the trail will take you to a bridge with stone monitor lizards over a stream, and then to a local temple with a small pond. There is an exhibition hall, an open stage, and a cafe on the territory of the reserve. Local residents often hold religious ceremonies in the reserve.
While walking around the park, follow the recommendations of the rangers when interacting with the monkeys.
On this day, plan to visit three temples and take a break from viewing. Start with Gunung Kawi Temple, then visit Pura Mengening - one of the six most important temples in Bali with healing springs. And end the day with a visit to Tirta Empul Temple, famous for its sacred baths.
Gunung Kawi Temple is a tomb of kings in the village of Tampaksiring. Here you will find tombs, a Hindu temple, prayer caves, rice terraces. On the territory there are ten tombs about 8 meters high, dedicated to the king and his family. In the rocks under the tombs are caves for Buddhist monks to pray. Nearby is a waterfall, bathing in which is considered beneficial. The temple complex is located in the gorge of the Tukad Pakerisan River and you will have to overcome 300 steps to see it.
Pura Mengening is one of the six most important temples in Bali, famous for its architecture and cultural significance. It is located away from tourist routes, in a secluded green place. Pura Mengening was built in the 17th century to protect against evil spirits and ensure a good harvest, it is dedicated to the god of water, so it is believed that the water in the springs has healing properties and is able to cleanse both the body and soul.
Tirta Empul Holy Water Temple is located in the village of Tampaksiring, the temple was built in 962 in honor of the god Vishnu. It is believed that the water from the local source heals diseases and cleanses the body and soul. There are three fonts for ablutions, as well as temple buildings, a pond with carp and statues on the temple grounds. Nearby on the hill there is a villa where famous people stayed, including Barack Obama. If you wish and make a large financial investment, you can stay there too.
At the end of your trip, it's time to shop for souvenirs. Craftsmen's Street is perfect for this. It is almost 14 kilometers long, it is located parallel to Petulu Street and runs from the center of Ubud to the north and south. The southern part of the street mainly presents furniture, teak products and stone statues, and the northern part - dishes, glassware, shells, wood, wickerwork, carpets, textiles, ceramics, jewelry and much more. Here you can not only look at handicrafts, but also see the work of craftsmen.
It will take several days to go around all the workshops and shops on Craftsmen's Street. Day 21. Yoga, massage and SPA
On the day of departure, take a break from traveling, attend yoga classes and go for a massage. In Ubud you will find a huge number of SPA salons, massage rooms, offers for back alignment, yoga and meditation. Prices for these services do not vary much.
To sum up the trip, I would like to once again highlight 4 complexes that will make the most pleasant impression on you:
Each complex is unique in its own way and worthy of attention.
The islands of Indonesia are not intended for a quiet holiday, especially with small children. For this, it is better to choose familiar destinations. Bali is an island for travel and adventure. It is for those who want to be on the move. If you are attentive and try to be careful, you will definitely get a unique experience from a trip to Indonesia.
According to Indonesian law, foreign citizens do not have the right to purchase land plots, they can only have a long-term lease of land (up to 80 years) and the right to use the real estate located on it;
It is most profitable to purchase real estate at the early stages of construction, often the developer can provide payment by installments.
It is impossible to see everything in Bali in one vacation. We decided for ourselves that we will come back here again.
