Long-term villa rentals in Bali.

Looking to rent a villa in Bali long-term? Every villa here is curated by our local team — we’ve seen the property, met the owner, and know what each place is really like to live in. No portal noise, no listings we can’t stand behind.

You’ll find private-pool villas, simpler villas and apartments for rent across Bali’s most established areas, on both monthly and yearly terms. Filter by area, price, bedrooms or term using the search above — or tell us what you need and we’ll send a shortlist.

Renting in a new country has its quirks, and Bali is no exception. We’re not a hard-sell agency — we’ll tell you honestly when a villa isn’t the right fit, what the bills realistically run, and what to check before you sign. Message us on WhatsApp any time and a real person on the ground will answer.

Both terms are common in Bali, and they suit different people.

Monthly rentals are for stays of roughly one to six months — digital nomads, trial stays, or scoping an area before committing. They’re furnished and move-in ready, often with bills and cleaning included, and far cheaper than the nightly rate on booking sites. You pay a premium per month for the flexibility, and the best villas get booked ahead in peak season.

Yearly rentals — usually one- or two-year leases — are the best value per month and how most residents and families rent. The monthly rate drops sharply, but yearly leases are typically paid upfront or in a few instalments, with a larger deposit. The trade-off is commitment in exchange for a much better price.

Canggu & Berawa — Bali’s surf-and-nomad belt: cafés, co-working, black-sand beaches. The most in-demand rental market and the priciest, with strong monthly demand — yearly leases here get snapped up fast.

Pererenan — Canggu’s calmer neighbour, newer villas, a favourite for six- to twelve-month stays at slightly better value.

Seminyak & Petitenget — established and walkable, with restaurants and beach clubs on the doorstep. Premium rents, a mix of monthly and yearly availability.

Umalas — between Seminyak and Canggu: close to everything but noticeably quieter. Popular with families and longer-term renters, with some of the better-value yearly leases in the south.

Sanur — the calmer east coast: families, older long-stayers, lower rents and a strong yearly market.

Ubud — inland, cooler, jungle. Lower rents than the coast, good monthly availability, and the natural home for the wellness crowd.

Uluwatu & the Bukit — clifftop villas and world-class surf on the southern peninsula. More spread out, premium, and a fast-growing long-term market.

What you pay beyond rent varies by villa and term. Most leases ask for a deposit — commonly a month or two for monthly lets, more for yearly — and yearly leases are often paid upfront or in instalments. Terms vary by owner and are sometimes negotiable.

What’s bundled into the rent also varies. Many villas include wifi, pool and garden care, and weekly cleaning; electricity is almost always metered separately, and how much AC you run is the single biggest swing in the bill. Always confirm exactly what’s included before you sign.

Can I rent a villa in Bali monthly?

Yes. Many of our villas take monthly bookings — typically a one- to six-month stay — furnished and ready to move into. Monthly rates sit above a yearly lease but well below nightly booking-site prices. Filter by term or message us with your dates.

How much does a long-term villa rental in Bali cost?

It depends on area, size and whether it has a private pool. A one-bedroom pool villa in a quieter area like Ubud starts at the lower end; coastal Canggu and Seminyak sit at the top. Our monthly villa cost guide breaks down real 2026 prices area by area.

What is the difference between a monthly and a yearly rental?

Monthly is flexible and furnished, ideal for one to six months, at a higher per-month rate. Yearly — usually a one- or two-year lease — is the best value per month and how most residents rent, normally paid upfront or in instalments with a larger deposit.

Are bills included in long-term rentals?

Sometimes. Many leases bundle wifi, pool and garden upkeep and weekly cleaning; electricity is usually billed separately and AC use drives it. Always confirm what is included before signing.

Can foreigners rent a villa long-term in Bali?

Yes. Foreigners can freely rent residential property in Bali long-term — the ownership rules that apply to buying do not apply to renting. You will usually just need your passport and a deposit.

Do I have to pay the whole year upfront?

For yearly leases, paying upfront or in a few instalments is the Bali norm, though it varies by owner and is sometimes negotiable. Monthly lets usually take a deposit plus the first month. Our how-to-rent guide covers what is typical.

Can I rent an apartment instead of a villa?

Yes. Alongside private villas we list apartments and smaller homes for rent — a good fit for solo long-stayers and tighter budgets. Filter by bedrooms or message us.
