Long term rental prices in Bali: monthly and yearly costs by bedroom count

Bali monthly rent by bedroom count

The cost of renting a house in Bali scales fairly predictably with bedroom count, though location and finish level cause wide overlap.

• 1-bedroom (18 listings): monthly IDR 20 million to IDR 30 million, median IDR 30 million. Yearly IDR 200 million to IDR 300 million.
• 2-bedroom (4 listings): monthly IDR 30 million flat, yearly IDR 300 million flat.
• 3-bedroom (9 listings): monthly IDR 30 million to IDR 73 million, median IDR 40 million. Yearly IDR 190 million to IDR 850 million.
• 4+ bedroom (3 listings): monthly IDR 85 million to IDR 132 million, median IDR 107.8 million. Yearly IDR 700 million to IDR 1,540 million.

The jump between 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom medians (IDR 30 million to IDR 40 million) is smaller than the jump into 4+ bedroom homes, where private pools, larger land and full staffing push prices up sharply. Browse by size on 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom listing pages.

What drives Bali monthly rent up or down

Within the same bedroom count, three things separate a IDR 20 million 1-bedroom from a IDR 30 million one:

• Private vs shared pool. Of the 34 listings, 17 have a private pool. A 1-bedroom townhouse with its own pool, such as the Tropicana Valley units in Buduk at IDR 30 million a month, costs more than a 1-bedroom apartment sharing a pool, such as HAUS Canggu Unit 1 at IDR 24 million.
• Location. Central Canggu addresses (Batu Bolong, Berawa, Pererenan) generally sit above quieter outlying areas like Buduk or Cemagi for equivalent bedroom counts, though this pattern has exceptions in the data.
• Services and inclusions. Housekeeping frequency, whether electricity is bundled into the price, and extras like security or full-time garden staff move the price. Only 5 of 34 listings include pool maintenance and only 1 includes full-time security as a stated inclusion, so these are the exception rather than the rule.

Property type also matters: of the 34 listings, 14 are villas, 11 are townhouses and 9 are apartments. Villas dominate the higher end of the market, especially the 4+ bedroom bracket.

Yearly rental Bali price and the savings from committing longer

Signing a yearly contract instead of paying month to month saves an average of 17 percent, based on a sample of 28 listings where both terms are quoted. This is the single biggest lever for cutting the cost of renting a house in Bali if you know you are staying.

Examples from the live data:

• Casa Suhana in Cemagi: monthly IDR 40 million versus a quoted yearly rate of IDR 190 million, one of the largest gaps between the two terms in the dataset.
• Villa Tiga Canggu: monthly IDR 73 million versus yearly IDR 850 million.
• Villa Fae in Cepaka, a 5-bedroom: monthly IDR 132 million versus yearly IDR 1,540 million.

Not every listing offers both terms — some are yearly-only (minimum stay 1 year), including Palem Kembar 1 in Uluwatu and Villa Bissli in Umalas. If you want flexibility, filter for listings with a shorter minimum stay before comparing rates.

What's usually included in the price

Inclusions vary listing by listing, so always check before comparing headline prices. Across the 34 listings:

• Fibre internet or Wi-Fi: 28 listings
• Housekeeping: 26 listings
• Banjar (village) fee and rubbish collection: 24 listings
• Drinking water and cooking gas: 22 listings
• Linen and towel changes: 21 listings
• Electricity: 17 listings included it in the price, 8 excluded it, and 9 didn't state it
• Pool maintenance: 5 listings
• Garden maintenance: 5 listings
• Full-time security: 1 listing

Electricity is the inclusion most worth confirming directly, since roughly half the listings that state a position exclude it. Villas with private pools and larger footprints, like Villa Swarna Umalas, tend to bundle electricity and full staffing into the price, while smaller shared-pool apartments and townhouses more often exclude it and bill separately.

How to budget for a long-term rental in Bali

Start with your bedroom count and preferred area, then check whether the quoted price includes electricity, since that can add a meaningful amount on top of a stated monthly figure. Pet-friendly homes are common: 23 of the 34 listings allow pets, so this rarely narrows the search much. Private pool is a bigger filter, held by exactly half the listings (17 of 34).

Deposit structures also vary across listings: some ask a flat sum, some a percentage of the rent, and some scale depending on whether you have pets. Minimum stay terms range from no minimum up to a year in some cases, so confirm both the deposit and minimum stay before you commit, and check any lease terms with a notary or immigration agent if your stay touches visa or tax questions.
