Why Bali — and Why Ubud — Right Now
Bali is currently ranked #1 as the world's best wellness destination (Business Insider), #1 best island in the world (BBC Travel), and #1 best winter destination (Airbnb). The island welcomed 16.1 million tourists in 2025, with foreign arrivals climbing from 2.2M in 2022 to 6.9M in 2025 — a structural, post-pandemic re-rating rather than a cyclical spike.
Indonesia has posted ~5% GDP growth annually for the last 50 years, with inflation around 2% and only marginal USD volatility, giving Bali the profile of a mature emerging market with a hard-currency-adjacent property market.
Within Bali, Ubud is the cultural capital and the epicenter of wellness tourism: 108 yoga and meditation studios, 76 temples and holy places, 46 waterfalls, 100+ restaurants and cafes, and 1 sacred volcano within reach. Every fourth tourist coming to Bali travels specifically for wellness — and Ubud is where that traveler stays. Average daily rental rates (ADR) on Bali have grown +115% over 4 years (from $95 in 2021 to a projected $245 in 2026), while average property prices in Ubud have risen +46% over 4 years (from $2,150/m² to $3,650/m²). Global wellness tourism itself is forecast to grow from $1.0T in 2023 to $2.1T by 2030, with wellness real estate expanding at a 20.5% CAGR.

Location — In the Heart of Ubud, Between Two Oceans
AURA is set on sanctified royal land in Ubud, giving the project a unique cultural anchor and long-term protective value.

The immediate surroundings offer everything within a short walk — Ubud town center, cafes, boutique shops, yoga studios and holistic centers — while the resort itself is enveloped by rice fields, jungle and panoramic mountain views.

The Resort — A Wellness Sanctuary Designed as an Asset
AURA is a fully integrated wellness resort designed around calm, ritual and long-stay comfort — not a generic condo-hotel. The masterplan combines apartment blocks and standalone villas across 9,620 m² of land, with 1,150 m² of shared wellness and lifestyle infrastructure, including a signature 160 m² infinity pool, wellness gardens, quiet meditation areas, a sauna & hammam circuit, an ice-bath area, treatment rooms, yoga shalas, restaurants, co-working spaces and an evening gathering space designed for stargazing.
The interior design concept — a harmonious blend of cream, sand, natural wood and warm ochre — brings tranquility in spaces and stays true to contemporary Balinese architecture.
Every unit is delivered fully furnished and turnkey, ready to be handed over to the wellness operator that manages the resort. Owners can either enjoy the villa personally or plug directly into the rental program.

The structure is fully compliant with Indonesian property law, and the contract is transferable, subleasable and renewable.

All units are delivered turnkey and fully furnished, with all fixtures, appliances, and interior design consistent with the resort's cream / sand / natural wood palette, and handed over directly to the on-site wellness operator.
What ROI can I expect — and how is it generated?
AURA targets up to 18% annual ROI, plus up to 30% appreciation during the construction phase. Returns are generated through the resort's professionally managed short-term rental program, operated as a wellness destination with over 25 practices on-site to maximise average daily rate (ADR) and occupancy. Bali's short-term rental market currently averages 75% occupancy and 12% gross yield — the highest among comparable destinations (Dubai, Thailand, Turkey).
How does the payment plan work?
Two options are available. Full payment at signing gives an automatic 8% discount on the listed installment price. Alternatively, buyers can opt for a 24-month installment plan, with milestone-based payments during construction and no interest charges. Both structures are compatible with foreign buyers and international wire transfers.
Who is behind the project and can I trust the operator?
The project is developed by SPG, a Bali-based developer with 25 international awards, a completed portfolio in Ubud (including Green Flow, currently #1 in ROI in Ubud), and a track record on operating units of 88%+ guest NPS. On-site wellness operations are handled by a dedicated wellness operator embedded in the resort, ensuring a consistent guest experience and steady occupancy.
What is the difference between a Zen Temple and a Jungle Temple villa?
Zen Temple villas are 23.7 m² studios, offered either with a private bath, with a garden and bath, or with a private plunge pool.

What is the difference between Zen Studio, Mono Studio and Horizon Flow apartments?
Zen Studio (23.1 m²) is the entry-level apartment, ideal for solo wellness travellers. Mono Studio (35.7 m²) offers a larger living area and is the best balance of yield and appreciation. Horizon Flow (44.6 m²) is the corner 1-bedroom apartment with the widest views over Ubud and the rice fields — the top-of-range apartment product.
