Why Women Are Investing in Bali for Retirement | Leah’s Story
Why Smart Women Like Leah Are Turning to Bali Property Investment for a Better Retirement
As more Australians rethink what retirement can and should look like, many are discovering that traditional property strategies no longer stack up. Rising costs, stagnant yields and increasing maintenance expenses have left countless investors holding assets that look good on paper — but don’t actually put money into their pockets.
That’s exactly the position Leah found herself in.
Leah is a smart, independent woman entering the next chapter of her life. She built a solid Australian property portfolio over the years, yet as retirement approached, the numbers simply weren’t adding up. Her properties were equity-rich but cash-poor — barely covering their own expenses, let alone contributing to the lifestyle she’d envisioned.
So she started asking better questions.
She started educating herself.
And that journey led her to Bali.
Why Leah Is Cashing Out of Australia and Investing in Bali
For Leah, the shift was based on simple maths — and a desire for a financially empowered retirement.
Here’s what she discovered:
1. Bali’s returns outperform traditional Australian investment properties
Australia’s rental yields continue to tighten, especially in capital cities. Meanwhile, Bali’s booming short-stay tourism market offers far stronger cash flow, thanks to:
High occupancy rates
Premium nightly rates
Year-round tourism demand
Lower operating costs compared to Australia
Leah wanted income she could rely on now.
2. Cash flow, not just equity, funds retirement
As the saying goes:
“You can’t eat bricks.”
Equity does not pay the bills — cash flow does.
Bali’s tourism-driven accommodation market allows investors to earn consistent, attractive passive income while still benefiting from long-term asset growth.
3. Bali offers lifestyle, income and diversification — all in one move
Investing offshore gives Australians a chance to diversify away from a tightening domestic market. And for women like Leah, Bali offers:
Financial growth
A beautiful island lifestyle
Strong investment performance
A sense of freedom and security in retirement
For many investors, it simply makes sense.
How Education Led Leah to a New Investment Pathway
I had the pleasure of meeting Leah at one of our ELLE Resort & Beach Club Bali Investor Information Nights held across Australia.
What struck me most was her mindset — calm, curious and proactive. Rather than accepting the traditional path, she chose to explore new opportunities that better aligned with her goals for financial independence and long-term freedom.
This is what I see over and over again in women who thrive financially:
✨ They seek education
✨ They ask questions
✨ They empower themselves with new knowledge
✨ And they take the leap when the numbers and the strategy make sense
Leah didn’t stumble into a better retirement outcome.
She researched it.
She designed it.
She chose it.
