GPFG Podcast | Episode 45 - “It’s Cheaper, Faster, Easier…” Our ELLE Investor Reveals His Bali Investment Strategy

Welcome to another episode of the Geonet Podcast. This time, we sit down with one of our investors, Steve, for an honest and eye-opening conversation about international property investing and why he chose ELLE Resort & Beach Club.

With years of global investment experience and a lifestyle shaped by living in Dubai, Steve understands the impact of strong, iconic branding and the type of high-spending audience it attracts. That insight is exactly what drew him to invest in ELLE Resort & Beach Club, not just as a property, but as a globally positioned lifestyle brand with diversified revenue streams and serious long-term potential.

Steve also pulls back the curtain on the realities of investing in Bali. While villas are often marketed as an easy path to high returns, he explains why the truth is far more complex, from operational workload and competition to maintenance and occupancy challenges. He shares the lessons he’s learned through experience and why structure, brand, and trusted operators matter more than ever.

If you’re still weighing up how or where to invest in Bali, this episode delivers real insights from someone who’s been through the cycles.
