Key points

  • Bali's hotel inventory stood at about 62,000 rooms in Q2 2026.
  • 197 rooms opened in the quarter, while Six Senses Bali closed 103 rooms for renovation.
  • Kuta still holds about 35% of the island's hotel stock.

What Colliers measured

Property consultancy Colliers reviewed Bali's hotel market for the second quarter of 2026. The island's total inventory is estimated at roughly 62,000 rooms. Over those three months, 197 new rooms entered the market.

Some supply also went offline for a while. Six Senses Bali took 103 rooms out of service for renovation. The Colliers figures were published by Real Estate Asia on 21 July 2026.

A bet on the top end

Colliers projects that about 1,700 luxury rooms will open on the island from the second half of 2026 through 2029. Investors are targeting affluent international travellers. These guests look for nature, wellness and quiet premium leisure rather than mass-market packages.

According to the analysts, this demand now shapes what gets built in Bali and where. Mass-market product is taking a back seat in the new pipeline.

The map is moving away from Kuta

Kuta has long been the centre of Bali's hotel market and holds around 35% of all rooms. New projects, however, increasingly choose Ubud, Canggu, Jimbaran, Uluwatu and Nusa Penida.

Marriott International alone runs at least 25 hotels on the island. Among notable deals, Colliers points to the acquisition of Cross Hotels & Resorts by SONO Hotels & Resorts.

What it means for the market

The Colliers figures show that new supply is coming mainly at the top end. New rooms are appearing in the same areas where private rental villas are concentrated, namely Ubud, Canggu and the Bukit.

Competition for affluent guests in these areas is therefore set to intensify. The report does not forecast prices. It describes the volume and location of future supply.

What it means for investors

For a villa owner in Ubud, the main effect is more competition at the upper end of the market. New branded hotels will chase the same guest who wants nature and privacy. Before a purchase we look at which hotels are being built nearby, and yield models should use average annual occupancy, not peak months.
