1 The Double View Mansions Bali

This compound of 44 apartments, slotted into four three-level buildings in a 3,000-square metre plot near Pantai Lima Beach, offers some of the best investment opportunities in Canggu. The residences managed by Italian expats Valerio Tocci and Luca Simioni are available to own on a leasehold term of 45 years—longer than the 25-30 year arrangement common in the island. As holiday homes, The Double View Mansions more than hold up their end of the bargain. The units, which range up to 205 square metres in size, overlook scenic rice fields on one side and the Indian Ocean on the other, with amenities like an open-air restaurant, breakfast bar, spa, gym, and 20-metre swimming pool.

2 COMO Uma Canggu

Opened earlier this year, the 119-unit, 2.2-acre resort development fronts some of Bali’s best surf breaks. The property, styled by interior designers Koichiro Ikebuchi and Paola Navone, includes 55 serviced residences and 12 three bedroom duplex penthouses boasting luxe beds and private rooftop pools. Residents and guests can take part in surfing lessons by Tropicsurf or confer with yogis at the COMO Shambhala Retreat. The COMO Beach Club is a contemporary twist on the surf shack: encompassing a restaurant that serves wood-fired seafood dishes; a 25-metre lap pool; and bar with sunset views, sound-tracked by live acoustic music or DJ sets.
