French Couple Buys Villa in Bali
a husband and wife (couple) from France bought a villa in Bali in 2011 ago. Uniquely, the two of them never set foot in the villa.
Instead, they spent two years "conjuring" the villa into a private complex.
Launching the Insider page, the villa owner revealed that he was attracted to buying the villa at first. Undeniably, Bali is one of the most popular destinations in the world, so anything related to it always attracts tourists, especially from foreign countries.
When a friend told them in 2011 that the property next door to their house in Bali was for sale, the couple decided to buy it without a second thought."It's a simple story," said Margaux (not his real name-red).
"We wanted a place where we could spend time with family and friends," he added. Homeowners requested anonymity to protect their privacy. Their identity cannot be known by anyone. What they don't realize until they arrive in Bali is that they have bought a villa. Close to the surf spots on Canggu's Echo Beach and surrounded by rice fields. They were satisfied to find the real 'hiding place'.
"When I stepped into the villa, I couldn't hear a sound," Margaux said.
The couple then named it Villa Zelie and then redesigned the property in it. The villa is equipped with five bedrooms, with village views and 10 pavilions. Villas that serve as bedrooms are scattered around the edges of the property, and the guest pavilion and dining pavilion are located behind the pool. When the couple first saw the property, it had the main pavilion with two gladaks or villas. They wanted to renovate the property to suit their family of five but still did not change the light and airy atmosphere of the home.

the government is promoting Bali as a center for health tourism. Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Pandjaitan and Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno are aggressively campaigning for the Island of the Gods to become a center for health or medical tourism in Indonesia.
This policy is based on the fact that Indonesia is a country with the largest hospital patients in the world, even beating America, according to research by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Indonesia.
The results of PwC Indonesia's research in 2015 revealed that around 600,000 Indonesians per year become medical tourists, which is a very large number in the world, even beating the United States with 500,000 medical tourists.
It is common knowledge that rich Indonesians and officials prefer to seek treatment abroad, including in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. For residents of Medan, Riau, and Aceh for treatment, Singapore or Malaysia is indeed closer than Jakarta. The reason is that health services abroad are more professional and relatively cheaper, and convenient for tourism.
