You own a company in Dubai. That company owns the asset in Bali. Between the two sits a framework of escrow, notaries, independent counsel and auditors: engineered so your capital is protected, your returns flow cleanly, and your exit is simple.
Most people cannot buy and develop trophy real estate in Bali on their own. Foreign ownership is restricted, land law is unfamiliar, and construction risk is real. Life Is Good Group removes all of that. We are the developer. You are the co-owner. We assemble the land, the architecture, the build and the sale, and we let you invest into it through a structure that keeps your capital in a jurisdiction you trust.
Every investment sits inside two companies. The first is a Dubai Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) that you fully own and control. The second is an Indonesian PT PMA: a foreign-investment company that legally holds the land and runs the development on the ground. Your Dubai SPV owns the shares; the PT PMA owns the bricks.
This separation is deliberate. It keeps ownership in your name, keeps liability away from you personally, keeps profits moving through a clean and well-treated jurisdiction, and gives you a single, transferable thing to sell when you exit: the shares in your own company.
That single sentence is the whole model. You are never a minority passenger in someone else’s fund. You hold your own Dubai entity, and that entity holds a real, freehold Bali asset. Life Is Good Group is the developer and operator working for that entity, not the owner of it.
Holding your investment through Dubai is not a technicality. It is where much of the return is protected. Here is why the structure runs through the UAE.
Highly favourable treatment of capital gains and dividends, so more of the development margin reaches you.
No withholding taxes on distributions to investors. Quarterly yield arrives intact.
Full profit repatriation to any country, without exchange restriction or capital lock-in.
Complete legal ownership through your own Dubai entity, your name on the shares, always.
A framework optimised for cross-border investment into Indonesian real estate.
Designed by professionals and reviewed by independent auditors and counsel in both jurisdictions.
Tax treatment varies depending on the investor’s country of residence. This is general information, not tax or legal advice. Please take independent advice for your circumstances.
Six independent layers stand between your subscription and any risk to your money.
Capital sits in escrow-controlled accounts and is released only against verified progress, never spent on trust alone.
Every construction tranche is released against a milestone certified by an Indonesian notary.
Independent counsel in Indonesia (ILA Global) and Dubai (Hoot Legal) review the structure on both sides.
Auditors review the flow of funds and the accounts of the project entities.
The PT PMA contains project liabilities inside itself, away from you personally and from your other assets.
Funds are held with established banks: OCBC in Indonesia, Emirates NBD in Dubai.
A typical development runs three to five years. Here is the journey your capital takes.
You review the project, complete identity checks, and sign your subscription. Independent legal review is available before anything is committed.
Your holding vehicle is formed and registered in your name, and your capital is placed into escrow-controlled accounts.
The PT PMA acquires the freehold land and permits, with title and paperwork verified by notary and counsel.
Design and build proceed with capital released in notary-verified tranches. Investors receive regular progress reporting.
Completed villas enter the managed rental programme; net income begins to accrue to the project entity.
Rental yield is distributed quarterly through your Dubai SPV, repatriable to any country.
You exit by selling your SPV shares and realising the capital gain, a single, clean transaction.
When you invest, you are not buying a certificate in a fund or a promise on a spreadsheet. You own the shares of a Dubai company, and that company owns a stake in a real, freehold Bali asset. Both are documented, registered and yours.
That means you can see exactly what sits beneath you, you receive income directly through your own entity, and you hold something genuinely transferable. Your exit is not dependent on the whole project being wound up. You sell your shares.
Yes. The SPV is registered in your name and controlled by you. Life Is Good Group is the developer and operator working for that entity. We do not own your holding vehicle.
A PT PMA is the foreign-investment company Indonesia uses to allow overseas capital into local assets. It legally holds the freehold land and permits, manages the development, and isolates the project’s liabilities inside itself, keeping risk away from you personally.
Freehold is the strongest ownership class available in Bali. Held correctly through the PT PMA structure, it provides the most durable claim on the land and underpins both the security and the resale value of the asset.
Capital sits in escrow-controlled accounts and is released in tranches only against construction milestones certified by a notary. Independent auditors review the flow of funds, and you receive regular progress reporting.
Once the villas are operating, rental income is distributed as quarterly yield through your Dubai SPV. Distributions repatriate to any country without restriction. Timing and amounts depend on the specific project and its occupancy.
You sell the shares in your Dubai SPV and realise the capital gain. Because your ownership is packaged as company shares, exit is a single clean transaction rather than a cross-border property conveyance.
Architecture by SUKYF, development and sales by Art Villas Bali, engineering and construction by LEXIO, legal counsel by ILA Global (Indonesia) and Hoot Legal (Dubai), and banking with OCBC and Emirates NBD.
