DOMA Ubud Villa Index
A quarterly composite index of Ubud's villa market: entry price, rental economics, net yield and supply — in one number. The only Bali index built on operating data from real villas.
Index composition
Four sub-indices
P · Entry price
100.0Median 2BR leasehold villa in Ubud: $220,000. Off-plan lowers the entry to $139,000.
R · RevPAR
100.0ADR × occupancy. Market: $165 × 63% ≈ $104/night. DOMA-managed villas: $144.
Y · Yield
100.0Market net yield 6–13% (midpoint 9.5%). DOMA actual — 12.8%.
S · Supply
100.05,711 active villa listings. Wide choice for buyers; counted on an inverse scale.
Q3 2026 is the base quarter: all sub-indices equal 100. From the next issue this page will show quarter-on-quarter dynamics.
Section 1
Entry prices: Ubud and other Bali locations
1–2BR villas, leasehold, from
Off-plan in Ubud is the most accessible entry into an investment villa in Bali, and the price growth to completion stays with the buyer.
Land, $/m²
Land in Ubud costs 2–4× less than coastal locations — the main source of Ubud's price advantage.
Section 2
Rentals: rate, occupancy, RevPAR
Occupancy, annual
A 20+ p.p. gap between the average and a managed villa: rating, dynamic pricing and response speed matter more than location.
RevPAR = ADR × occupancy, 2BR
RevPAR is more honest than the nightly rate: it counts both the price and the empty dates. It is what drives a villa's annual revenue.
Section 3
Yield and supply
Villa yields, annual
Net runs 3–5 p.p. below gross: platform fees, management, tax, upkeep. Methodology — in the ROI calculator.
Supply (active villa listings)
Choice is wide right now — a good moment for buyers. Ubud looks the most resilient: retreat and long-stay demand is stable year round.
Methodology
DUVI = 0.35·P + 0.30·R + 0.20·Y + 0.15·S

Base: Q3 2026 = 100. Cadence: monthly data collection, quarterly publication. Collection: automated monitoring of Bali's 20 largest platforms and developers + operating data from 30+ DOMA villas (4,000+ Airbnb reviews). Revisions: when data is refined, past values are recalculated and flagged in the issue.
Scope: 1–3BR leasehold villas in Ubud and aggregated listing data, not closed transaction prices; issue 1 is the base — dynamics appear from issue 2.
