Where to start

Many of our homes in Bali sit on the Bukit peninsula in the south, and that shapes what is on the doorstep: the surf beaches of Padang Padang, Bingin, Suluban and Dreamland, and Uluwatu Temple on its clifftop above the ocean, where the kecak dance is performed at sunset. Along the coast, Melasti and Nyang Nyang are quieter and wilder. Garuda Wisnu Kencana is close by for a change of pace, and the shops and restaurants of Seminyak are a longer drive north.

PT PMA: Setting Up a Foreign-Owned Company to Hold Property

The 2.5 billion rupiah PT PMA capital figure is real, but it is not the whole number. The total investment plan for the company's specific business activity still has to clear 10 billion rupiah, and for a property-holding PT PMA specifically, the land and buildings usually count toward that larger figure rather than sitting outside it.
