Across more than 800 yearly villa listings on Bali's long-term rental portals in August 2026, typical asks ran around Rp 23 to 39 million per month for a two-bedroom on a yearly lease and Rp 33 to 59 million for a three-bedroom. But the monthly rent is only the headline: a realistic budget is the rent plus metered utilities, internet, and whatever maintenance, pool and garden care the lease does not include, and on yearly leases much of it is often payable upfront. The honest way to compare villas is the all-in monthly figure, not the advertised one.
The rent itself
Rents vary enormously with area, build quality and lease length, so treat any single average with suspicion. Across more than 800 yearly villa listings on Bali's long-term rental portals in August 2026, the typical asking band was around Rp 23 to 39 million per month for a two-bedroom on a yearly lease, Rp 33 to 59 million for a three-bedroom, and Rp 50 to 90 million for a four-bedroom, with the year usually paid upfront. These are asking prices, and most are negotiable; a yearly lease prices below the same villa taken month to month.
Area moves the number as much as size. In the same August 2026 listings, typical three-bedroom asks ran around Rp 33 to 56 million in Canggu, Rp 33 to 55 million in Umalas, Rp 29 to 56 million in Seminyak, Rp 33 to 50 million in Ubud, Rp 49 to 94 million around Uluwatu, Rp 29 to 49 million in Sanur, and Rp 34 to 68 million on the quieter Seseh to Cemagi coast. Core Villas shares its current rates and availability through the rental waitlist.
Plot size is the quiet variable behind those bands. Across yearly listings with published land sizes on two Bali rental portals in August 2026, the typical two-bedroom villa sat on under 200 m² of land, and around seven in ten three-bedrooms on under 400 m². Three-bedroom villas on plots of 400 m² or more were roughly one listing in four, and asked around 40 to 50 percent more than those on smaller plots. When you compare quotes, ask for the land size; two villas at the same rent are rarely the same offer.
Prices in Indonesia are commonly quoted in IDR for yearly leases and sometimes in dollars for monthly ones. Whatever the quote currency, the contract should fix which one you actually owe.
What sits on top of the rent
Electricity is metered and paid by the tenant almost everywhere, and air conditioning is what moves that number. Internet, drinking water, gas and laundry are usually yours too. Pool care, garden care and general maintenance are sometimes included and sometimes not, and this is the single biggest difference between quotes that look identical.
At Core Villas the residence fee includes maintenance, pool and garden care, with utilities metered to your actual use, so the advertised figure and the lived figure stay close.
What you pay upfront
Monthly stays typically ask for a deposit plus the first month. Yearly leases in Bali often ask for a large share of the year upfront, and many agencies ask for six to twelve months paid in advance. That upfront capital, more than the monthly rate, is what decides what people can actually afford.
The traps
Watch for quotes that exclude service or management fees, exit clauses that keep your deposit for normal wear, leases that forbid the subletting you were planning on, and beautiful photographs of villas whose pool pump has not run in months. A slow walk-through with the water and air conditioning on tells you more than the listing ever will.
