Where we focus

Uluwatu & Canggu

Uluwatu

Clifftop living for the serious builder

The fastest-growing area in Bali for founders and investors. Ocean-view villas, a tight-knit community, and a pace that lets you actually think.

  • Breathtaking ocean views
  • Lower density than Canggu
  • Growing founder and investor community
  • Strong appreciation trajectory

Canggu

The hub of the Bali business ecosystem

Where deals happen at dinner tables. The highest density of founders, operators, and connectors anywhere in Southeast Asia.

  • Prime networking access
  • Established infrastructure
  • High rental yield potential
  • Global brand presence

What you get

This is not a real estate agency

Curated introductions

Access to vetted sellers, developers, and land owners, not the open market.

Ground-level intelligence

Marina has been inside the Bali property market for years. You get honest, unfiltered context.

Community due diligence

What other founders in the network have bought, what they'd do differently, and what to watch out for.

A trusted management partner

Once you buy, Marina connects you with a trusted local villa management company for day-to-day oversight, rental, and maintenance. She's vetted them. You don't have to.

Recent introductions

What villa ownership actually looks like

“I didn't build a real estate business. I built a network of people who trust each other. The property introductions are a natural extension of that trust, for the right people, at the right time.”

Common questions

What founders ask before their first call

Can foreigners buy property in Bali?

Yes, with the right structure. Foreigners typically use a PMA (foreign-owned company), leasehold agreements, or a notarised structure. Each has different implications. Marina's network includes trusted Bali property lawyers who will walk you through the options specific to your situation.

What is the minimum investment?

It varies significantly by area and property type. Uluwatu land from $80k–$300k+ USD. Villas from $250k to several million. Canggu commands a premium. Marina's consultations start with your budget and goals, not a generic listing.

How is this different from working with a real estate agent?

Agents sell what's listed. Marina makes introductions inside a network she's spent years building trust in — properties, people, and context you won't find on the open market.

Is this open to everyone?

Marina works with a small number of buyers at any given time. Introductions are curated, not every enquiry will be the right fit. The consultation is the starting point.
