Around 2,460 hotel rooms under construction across Bali

Bali — Around 2,460 hotel rooms were under construction across Bali as of 22 August 2026, with most projects due for completion between 2026 and 2028, according to a market note by Umbrella Group and a separate risk and absorption monitor published by Hotelier Indonesia based on the same dataset.

The reported pipeline is concentrated in key tourism areas in southern and central Bali. Umbrella Group’s breakdown shows the largest cluster of new rooms in Jimbaran, Pecatu and Ungasan, which together account for about 688 rooms in the pipeline. Canggu and Seminyak are expected to add a further 558 rooms, with openings scheduled between September 2026 and January 2028, according to the Umbrella Group analysis.

The figures underline continuing developer and operator interest in Bali’s hotel sector and point to rising competition among hotels, serviced apartments and private villas aimed at short-term stays, according to both Umbrella Group and Hotelier Indonesia.

Where the new rooms are planned

Umbrella Group’s data indicates Ubud will receive 361 rooms, mainly through upscale hotel projects managed by international operators. A further 203 rooms are planned in Nusa Dua and Tanjung Benoa, reinforcing those areas’ position as established resort corridors.

Development activity appears limited in Kuta and Legian, where only eight additional rooms had been announced in the August 2026 snapshot. Umbrella Group notes that Sanur had no under-construction hotel projects identified in the same snapshot period.

The Umbrella Group report provides a geographic breakdown but does not list individual projects, developers or opening dates. It also identifies about 645 rooms in “other parts of Bali” without specifying locations, reflecting a mix of smaller or less publicised developments beyond the main tourism hubs.

Key figures reported by Umbrella Group and echoed in the Hotelier Indonesia monitor include:

• Total under-construction pipeline: approximately 2,460 rooms
• Jimbaran, Pecatu and Ungasan: about 688 rooms
• Canggu and Seminyak: about 558 rooms
• Ubud: 361 rooms
• Nusa Dua and Tanjung Benoa: 203 rooms
• Kuta and Legian: eight rooms
• Other parts of Bali: 645 rooms

Competition and occupancy outlook

The Hotelier Indonesia risk and absorption monitor uses the same August 22 pipeline snapshot to model future occupancy under different scenarios. Under its FY2027 “P50” or moderate case, implied occupancy is highest in Sanur at around 84.6 percent, despite the absence of active hotel construction there in the Umbrella Group pipeline snapshot.

The same scenario projects Kuta–Legian at about 74.8 percent occupancy, followed by Nusa Dua–Tanjung Benoa at roughly 74.2 percent. Canggu–Seminyak is projected at around 70.6 percent, Jimbaran–Pecatu–Ungasan at 68.2 percent, and Ubud at about 61.7 percent, according to the Hotelier Indonesia analysis.

These figures are analytical forecasts rather than actual performance results. Hotelier Indonesia notes that occupancy outcomes could differ materially depending on future tourist flows, pricing and the timing of project completions, and highlights more challenging results under its downside scenario.

For investors assessing Bali’s hotel market, both Umbrella Group and Hotelier Indonesia emphasise that location, project concept, management quality and the density of nearby competing properties are increasingly important. They note that while tourism demand continues to support new development, the impact of additional supply is likely to vary by submarket, asset positioning and the pace at which new rooms enter the market.
