The project
The North Bali Airport
What is North Bali International Airport?
A proposed airport development at Sumber Klampok Village, Buleleng. It aims to relieve congestion at Ngurah Rai Airport and support North Bali’s development, targeting up to 50 million passengers annually. The project includes two runways, a seaport, a heliport and a cargo terminal, with an estimated investment of USD 3 billion.
Where will the new North Bali airport be located?
Sumber Klampok Village, Buleleng. This site was chosen to minimise displacement, protect local temples, and ensure safer aircraft movement, while promoting the development of North Bali.
When will North Bali airport open?
There is currently no confirmed opening date. Construction is expected to begin between mid-2025 and 2027, with the first operational phase targeted for 2027–2028 — though these timelines are subject to change.
Is the North Bali airport actually being built?
As of now, it is still in the proposal and planning stage. Construction is anticipated to begin between mid-2025 and 2027, with strong political support from the Prabowo government, but no construction has commenced yet.
How far will the new airport be from Lovina and Singaraja?
The Sumber Klampok site is approximately 40 minutes from Lovina and about 70–80 kilometres from Singaraja — conveniently close to both popular North Bali destinations.

Investing in North Bali
Can foreigners buy property in North Bali?
Foreigners cannot own freehold property. They can acquire property via leasehold agreements or Hak Pakai (Right to Use) for up to 30–50 years, extendable, or establish a PT PMA to hold land indirectly.
Is North Bali a good place to invest in 2026?
North Bali presents promising opportunities in 2026, particularly given the anticipated airport development, natural beauty, cultural attractions and growing infrastructure.
Which areas near the new airport are best for investment?
Areas near Sumber Klampok, Lovina and Pemuteran are considered promising, due to their proximity to the proposed airport and potential for tourism-related and real-estate growth.
What is the difference between leasehold, Hak Pakai and a PT PMA?
Leasehold allows foreigners to lease property for 30–50 years. Hak Pakai grants the right to use property under specific conditions. A PT PMA is a foreign-owned company structure enabling indirect land ownership — each carries different rights and durations.
Do I need a KITAS or second-home visa to buy property?
Not required to buy, but useful for long-term stays. A KITAS is valid for 1–2 years, while the second-home visa offers up to 5 years — ideal for retirees and investors.

Yes, through our investment-concierge offerings. We are not licensed brokers, but we provide introductions to trusted professionals for a secure, informed process.
