Finding Your Dream Villa in Bali: Long-Term Rental Guide
Private pools, tropical gardens, and monthly rents that would barely cover a Dubai studio. Here’s how to find the perfect villa.

What Comes Included
Most Bali villa rentals include: private swimming pool, furnished interiors, tropical garden, WiFi, weekly cleaning service, pool maintenance, and sometimes a gardener. Some include a full-time housekeeper. This is standard — not luxury pricing. A $1,000/month 2-bedroom villa in Canggu typically includes all of the above.
How to Find Villas
Local agents (best selection), Facebook groups (‘Bali Long Term Rentals’), direct owner contacts, property platforms. Visit in person before committing to long-term.
Lease Tips
Negotiate yearly rates for best prices. Standard deposit: 1-3 months. Get a written contract in English and Indonesian. Check water pressure, WiFi speed, and noise levels.
