Week in review: Jun 8 to Jun 14, 2026

Key stories

• Bali makes waste sorting mandatory from 1 July 2026
  Since July 2026 sorting is an obligation for rental villas too. Check that the property has separate bins for organic and other waste and that the manager knows the local banjar rules. Ask whether your hauler still accepts unsorted waste and whether fees will rise. We suggest writing these duties into the management agreement.
• Bali investment rises 17.85% to Rp 42.82 trillion in 2025
  Capital concentrated in the south means tougher competition among rental villas there. Areas such as Ubud and Gianyar attract a smaller share, so supply grows more slowly, though infrastructure also moves at a different pace. Compare occupancy and average nightly rates in your specific area and check which projects in the official catalogue actually affect your plot.
• Badung borrows Rp 2.9 trillion for new roads to Berawa and Uluwatu
  A new link from Berawa into Denpasar could shorten guest trips to the city and airport, if they open on time. A one-way scheme can change access to individual villas. Owners in Canggu and on the Bukit should watch the opening dates and check in advance how the route to their property will change.
• Bali ranks 38th worldwide for ICCA association meetings
  Business events create demand outside the tourist peaks, but mostly in Nusa Dua and the south, where the convention venues are. For a villa in Ubud the effect is indirect, through delegates who extend their trips. Do not build MICE into a yield estimate until you see occupancy data for the dates of major events.
