Exchange Rate Comparison Over Time for a IDR 10B Villa
Table: Rates, Conversions, and Savings 2010–2025
Here’s a comparative look at how the euro–rupiah exchange rate (EUR → IDR) evolves, and what it means in terms of euros for IDR 10 billion. In 2025, the euro buys more rupiah than it did in the earlier years shown. If your Bali villa is priced in IDR, you need fewer euros today to hit the same price tag.

Why 2025 Is a Standout Year for Europeans
1) Your Budget Goes Further
With IDR 10B ≈ €510k in 2025, you’re saving tens, sometimes hundreds of thousands compared with prior years. Even vs. 2020, you’re effectively ~€92,700 “richer” in euro terms for the same rupiah price.
2) Real Estate Priced in Rupiah = Euro Advantage
Most Bali listings are set in IDR. When the EUR is strong against IDR, every renovation allowance, pool upgrade, or extra bedroom becomes more attainable without increasing your euro budget.
3) Bali’s Enduring Appeal
Beyond currency math, Bali continues to shine for lifestyle, rental yields, hospitality infrastructure, international schools, and flight connectivity, advantages that compound the value of entering the market in a strong-currency year.

How to Capitalize in 2025 (Step-by-Step)
-
Fix your euro budget
-
Translate to rupiah using a current spot or bank rate to set your Bali search band.
-
Shortlist neighborhoods (Canggu, Uluwatu, Pererenan, Ubud) based on lifestyle vs. rental yield.
-
Engage a reputable notary (PPAT) & agent for due diligence: land title type, building permits (IMB/PBG), zoning, leasehold vs. freehold options for foreigners.
-
Plan for FX logistics: compare bank vs. specialist FX providers, check transfer fees, and consider partial hedging if your completion is staged.
-
Move decisively while the EUR advantage holds.
Q&A
Is 2025 the best time for Europeans to buy in Bali?
Given the 2025 conversion advantage (see table), yes—your euro buys more IDR than in 2005–2020. That translates to lower euro outlay for the same IDR price.
Will the rate stay this favorable?
FX moves, no one can guarantee the same advantage later. If your timeline is 2025–26, consider acting while conditions are favorable.
Freehold or leasehold?
Foreign buyers commonly use leasehold or company structures. Always get local legal advice to match your goals and risk profile.
Conclusion
In 2025, Europeans enjoy an exceptional euro-to-rupiah window about 46% cheaper versus 2010 for the same IDR-priced property turning budgets into bigger land plots, better locations, and premium finishes. This tailwind is rare and may be temporary: FX can swing, fees add up, and completion timelines matter, so smart buyers plan transfers, compare providers, and consider light hedging. If you move decisively, 2025 can be your once-in-a-decade moment to secure Bali real estate whether that’s a value-packed leasehold like RF8095 or a statement freehold like KT002 at a euro price that’s hard to beat.
