Where is Bali's 'secret porn villa'? Cops scour X-rated videos to trace infamous tourist spot
Police authorities in Bali, Indonesia, are on the lookout for a secret 'porn villa', where adult film stars and tourists have reportedly shot many porn videos during the pandemic. The island nation of Indonesia has strict anti-pornography laws that subject offenders to hefty penalties and legal actions.
Recently, Russian 'porn princess' Veronika Troshina came under fire for filming a sexcapade with her boyfriend Mikhail Morozov on the sacred hilltop of Mount Batur in Bali. In fact, the local police learned about the infamous pornography hotspot after the existence of Troshina's video came into the limelight. Bali happens to be one of the top tourist destinations in the world. A lot of tourists and social media stars visited the location during the pandemic in 2020, but many of them were deported due to wrong reasons, leading to increased scrutiny on expats. Violators of the pornography laws in the country can face up to several years in prison.

In May 2021, a Canadian tourist was deported for disrespecting local culture after he allegedly organized an 'orgasmic' yoga class, which offered "tantric full body orgasm yoga sessions”. The month before, two Instagram influencers were jailed and deported subsequently for pranking people at a local supermarket with painted face masks.
Where is the Bali porn villa?
A widely circulated video on TikTok first exposed the secret 'porn villa'. A number of pornstars can be seen in sexually explicit scenes against a panoramic backdrop, with a caption reading: "Welcome to the porn villa." Most of the pornstars in the video were clad in skimpy clothes and appeared to be foreigners, barring one who seemed Indonesian. According to Vice, the viral video was soon dubbed a 'sex party' in Indonesian media, prompting the police to launch a hunt for the owner of the 'porn villa' property. While the precise location of the villa has been traced, the authorities found the property abandoned with no one present.
Bali municipal police chief IGA Kerta Suryanegara said, “(Police) are still investigating the building permit. We’ve visited the viral villa several times, but it was empty. We will only take action once we find the villa owner or their representative to avoid acting on assumptions." The police reportedly 'scoured' through pornographic videos and content to figure out the exact location of the villa, as per Vice reports.
Meanwhile, they have issued an advisory for villa and hotel owners, urging them to be more vigilant about renting out properties. They asked property owners to keep eye on tourists to prevent the shooting of sex films. In this regard, Bali police commissioner said, "We are working with relevant stakeholders to educate foreigners on the importance of maintaining public order from the moment they arrive in airports, immigration offices, and other places."
