Why Munduk land values are climbing, and what the airport changes

10 June 2026 · The Heights Munduk Journal

For a decade, Bali's growth story had one postcode: the south. Canggu, Seminyak, Uluwatu. Today that land is saturated, priced-out and gridlocked, and the smart money has started looking north.

The numbers are stark. Land in North Bali's Buleleng regency still trades from around $88 per square metre, against $450 and up in the southern hotspots. Across Bali, prime-corridor land has appreciated 15-30% in just two years. The north is where that curve still has room to run.

The catalyst next door

In July 2025 the government approved North Bali International Airport, a roughly US$3 billion project designed for up to 42 million passengers at full build-out, with construction starting 2027. It is the single largest infrastructure commitment in Bali's history, and it lands in the same regency as Munduk.

Infrastructure of this scale has historically re-rated the land around it, and land in the airport's own regency re-rates first, and hardest.

When the airport opens, it opens Bali's north to international demand for the first time, redistributing pressure away from the congested south. The window to enter is now, before a single runway is poured.

Why Munduk, specifically

Not all of the north is equal. Munduk sits at 1,000 metres in a cool, forested highland, the antithesis of Bali's hot, crowded coast, and roughly an hour from the new airport site versus three from the south. It is rare, scenic, and supply-constrained: exactly the profile that holds value.

That is the thesis behind The Heights Munduk: eight completed-to-handover villas on a single hillside, offered before the airport breaks ground.

Own a piece of the highlands.

Eight hillside villas above the clouds, private pool, hot plunge, sauna and fireplace in each. One hour from North Bali's new international gateway. Handover set for December 2027.
