The Try Bali Program is a bundled trial-stay package that lets you live in Bali for 1 to 12 months — private villa, car with professional chauffeur, VVIP airport handling, and a dedicated concierge included — without giving up your Dubai base. It is built for high-net-worth residents of Dubai and the UAE who want to test Bali as a second base before committing capital to property, business setup, or a full family move. As of 2026, it is the lowest-commitment way to experience Bali at the standard you are used to, and it converts directly into a full relocation whenever you decide you are ready.
What Is the Try Bali Program?
Most relocation decisions fail at the same point: people commit before they have actually lived in the place. The Try Bali Program removes that risk — a genuine try living in Bali program rather than an extended holiday. Instead of buying property or signing a multi-year lease from a distance, you arrive to a fully arranged life — home, transport, staff, and a single point of contact — and simply live it for one month, three months, or up to a full year.
Nothing about your Dubai life needs to change. Your residency, your business, and your network stay exactly where they are. The program exists precisely because the smartest approach to a second base is not a leap; it is a structured trial with a clear exit and a clear upgrade path. If Bali works for you, the trial rolls into our Dubai to Bali relocation service. If it does not, you fly home with clarity instead of a stranded investment.
What’s Included in Your Trial Stay?
Every Try Bali package bundles the same core pillars, scaled to your duration and household size:
- Private villa, monthly or yearly: a vetted villa in Canggu, Umalas, Ubud, Sanur, Uluwatu, or Nusa Dua, matched to your brief and drawn from the same portfolio as our long-term luxury villa rentals. Housekeeping and villa management are arranged before you land.
- Car and professional chauffeur: a dedicated vehicle from our own fleet — Alphard, Vellfire, or Range Rover class — with an English-speaking chauffeur on your schedule, not a ride-hailing roulette.
- VVIP airport fast track: meet-and-greet at Bali’s international airport, expedited clearance, and porter service on arrival and departure.
- Visa handling: we prepare and manage the appropriate stay permit for your duration and purpose. As of 2026, Indonesia offers several routes for stays between one month and one year; we advise on the right one for your situation rather than a one-size-fits-all answer.
- Area orientation tours: guided days in each candidate neighbourhood so you compare beach-club Canggu, jungle Ubud, clifftop Uluwatu, and family-oriented Sanur with your own eyes — not through listing photos.
- School visits for families: arranged tours and admissions meetings at Bali’s leading international schools, planned around our Bali international schools guide.
- Healthcare orientation: introductions to Bali International Hospital and trusted private clinics, so your family’s medical map is settled in week one.
- Dedicated concierge: one WhatsApp thread for everything — restaurant tables, gym and members’ club introductions, staff hiring, golf, yachts, and the practical questions that only surface once you actually live somewhere.
For clients evaluating Bali commercially, we add investor-grade site visits: villa and land inspections, resort and F&B opportunities, and meetings arranged through our Bali property buying service — with private security or police escort available for high-profile survey itineraries.
Why Trial Bali Instead of Committing Immediately?
Because a second base is a portfolio decision, and no serious investor allocates before due diligence. Dubai remains an exceptional place to live and do business; the question our clients ask is not “should I leave?” but “where should my second engine be?” The usual shortlists — Portugal, Malaysia, Cyprus, Thailand — rarely include Bali, yet Bali offers what those lists often miss: distance from regional flashpoints, a green and genuinely liveable environment, an established international community, and luxury service standards that feel familiar to anyone arriving from Dubai. A 1–12 month trial converts that argument from a brochure claim into your own lived data.
How Do You Book the Program?
- 1. Discovery call: a WhatsApp or video consultation covering household size, preferred duration, budget band, schooling needs, and what “success” looks like for your trial.
- 2. Tailored proposal: within days you receive a villa shortlist, vehicle options, visa route, and a single bundled quote — no fragmented vendors to manage.
- 3. Pre-arrival setup: we secure the villa, confirm your stay permit, brief your chauffeur, and build your first two weeks of orientation tours and school visits.
- 4. Arrival and live-in: VVIP fast track at the airport, keys in hand the same day, concierge active from hour one.
- 5. Review and decide: at the end of your trial we debrief. Extend, convert to a full relocation and company setup, or close the chapter cleanly — every option stays on the table.
How Much Does the Try Bali Program Cost?
Pricing depends on villa category, vehicle class, season, and household size. As a planning reference, the indicative bands per 2026 are:

|---|---|---|
| 1 month | Reconnaissance stay, couple | from USD 8,000 |
| 3 months | Serious evaluation, couple or small family | from USD 6,500 |
| 6 months | Family trial with schooling | from USD 5,500 |
| 12 months | Full second-base year | bespoke quote |
Disclaimer: these figures are indicative only, not a quotation. Villa rates in Bali vary widely by location and season, and visa and government fees change; your written proposal is the only binding reference. We will always show you the itemised breakdown before you commit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a special visa to try living in Bali for up to a year?
You need an appropriate stay permit, and the right route depends on your duration and purpose. As of 2026, Indonesia maintains several visa options suitable for one-month to one-year stays. We assess your case, prepare the paperwork, and manage the process end-to-end so you never queue at an immigration counter.
Can I keep my Dubai residency and business during the program?
Yes — that is the entire design. The Try Bali Program is a second-base trial, not an exit. Most of our clients keep their UAE residency, company, and banking untouched while they evaluate Bali.
What happens if we decide to stay permanently?
Your trial becomes the first phase of a full move. The same team transitions you into long-term housing, school enrolment, company establishment (PT PMA), and investment execution, so nothing is rebuilt from zero.
Is the program suitable for families with school-age children?
Yes. Family trials are typically timed around admissions windows, and school tours are built into your first weeks. Many families run a 3–6 month trial across a school term before deciding.
