About
Bali Capital Advisory was founded by Didier Merckx to give international investors the kind of independent, multi-developer guidance that did not exist in the Bali market.
Bali Capital Advisory is founded by Didier Merckx, a Bali-based entrepreneur with a track record across wellness-tech, biohacking, and now international real estate. Today he is closing 3 to 5 luxury apartments per month for international investors, working across multiple developers rather than tied to one.
The brief for Bali Capital Advisory is simple: compare every option fairly, recommend what actually fits the investor, and stay on the buyer's side from first conversation to keys in hand.
The work covers luxury apartments, luxury villas, and resort-style investments across multiple developers. Two developer partnerships sit at the heart of what we do, Coco Development for wellness-focused community apartments and Royal Bali Group for premium villas, alongside a wider shortlist of vetted projects across the island.
Bali Capital Advisory is deliberately independent. We are paid by the developer side once a deal completes, never by the investor, and we work across many developers rather than a single one. That is what keeps the advice honest, year after year.
Founded by
Didier started Bali Capital Advisory after seeing the same pattern repeat with every international buyer who arrived in Bali. Four agents, four sales pitches for four different projects, and no honest comparison.
The advisory is built on the opposite premise. One independent point of contact. One consistent set of criteria applied to every option. A recommendation that has to fit the investor, not a sales target. Today Didier closes 3 to 5 luxury apartments a month for international investors on this basis, working across multiple developers.
Bali Capital Advisory is an independent consultancy helping international investors buy high-quality, vetted real estate in Bali. We compare apartments, villas, and resort-style projects across multiple developers and recommend what genuinely fits each investor's goals.
Bali Capital Advisory is founded and run by Didier Merckx, a Bali-based entrepreneur with a track record across wellness-tech, biohacking, and international real estate.

Most agents in Bali represent a single developer and only ever recommend that developer's projects. Investors get a one-sided view. Independence means we can compare across the market and recommend what actually suits the investor, not what suits a sales pipeline.
Primarily Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Dubai, with selective work for clients based in India. Most clients are buying remotely or visiting Bali briefly, and need an advisor who already knows which projects are worth the time.
Every project is evaluated on the same criteria: build quality, location, developer track record, deal structure, and exit strength. The shortlist for each investor reflects their goals, not a roster of developers paying for marketing.
It can be, but the structure of the deal matters enormously. Leasehold versus freehold, the developer, the contract, and the exit options all need close reading. Our role is to make sure investors understand the structure before they sign.
Our advisory work is paid by the developer side once a deal completes. Investors pay nothing extra. Independence comes from working across many developers, so there is no incentive to push a single project.
The simplest first step is the Bali Investor Brief. A short questionnaire, a tailored shortlist, and a follow-up conversation on WhatsApp. No commitment and no aggressive follow-up.
