Yearly contracts save you 15 to 30 percent compared to monthly rates. Prices include furnished rooms, but utilities are usually extra.

These are asking prices from verified owners on Property Plaza. You can often negotiate 5 to 15 percent off, especially for stays longer than six months.
Two things drive your price up fast: a private pool and air conditioning in every room. A similar-sized villa without a pool costs 20 to 40 percent less. Compare villas in your budget.
Yes. If you know you are staying, a yearly contract saves you 15 to 30 percent compared to monthly rent.
Here is what that looks like in practice. A 2-bedroom villa in Canggu that rents for $1,800 per month on a monthly basis might cost $1,300 per month on a yearly contract. That puts $6,000 back in your pocket over 12 months.
Monthly vs Yearly Comparison
| Factor | Monthly | Yearly |
|---|---|---|
| Price per month | Higher (full rate) | 15-30% lower |
| Minimum commitment | 1-3 months | 12 months |
| Furnishing | Fully furnished | Often semi-furnished |
| Services included | Pool, garden, sometimes cleaning | Pool and garden only |
| Payment structure | Pay each month | 6 or 12 months upfront |
| Flexibility | Move anytime | Locked in for a year |
| Deposit | 1 month typical | 1-2 months typical |
When monthly makes sense: You are new to Bali and want to try different areas. You plan to stay 3 to 6 months. You want a fully serviced villa.
When yearly makes sense: You know your area. You want the lowest price. You are comfortable paying several months upfront.
One important note: yearly contracts in Bali often require 6 to 12 months of rent paid upfront. Budget for this lump sum before signing.
What you get depends on whether you rent monthly or yearly. Monthly rentals tend to include more services.

Almost never included (you pay separately):
Always ask what is included before signing. Get it in writing. On Property Plaza, each listing specifies exactly what services are included, so you know before you message the owner.
Budget an extra $100 to $300 per month for utilities, depending on your AC usage and villa size.
Utility Costs Breakdown
| Utility | Monthly Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Electricity (PLN) | $50 - $200 | Main variable. AC usage is the biggest factor. |
| Water (PDAM) | $10 - $20 | Very cheap. Includes pool top-up in some cases. |
| Internet (Biznet/IndiHome) | $30 - $60 | 50-100 Mbps fiber. Biznet is more reliable. |
| Gas (LPG tanks) | $5 - $10 | Small blue tanks from local shops |
| Garbage collection | $3 - $5 | Monthly pickup fee |
| Total | $100 - $300 |
Electricity is the wildcard. A villa with 3 AC units running 8 hours a day can cost $150 to $200 per month in electricity alone. If you use fans instead of AC, your electricity bill drops to $40 to $60.
Bali uses a prepaid electricity system (token listrik). You buy credits through an app or at a minimarket and top up your meter. This makes it easy to track your spending.
For internet, ask if the villa already has a fiber connection. Installing new fiber internet (Biznet or IndiHome) takes 1 to 3 weeks and requires the owner's cooperation. Many monthly rental villas come with Wi-Fi already set up.
A 3-bedroom villa costs roughly 2 to 2.5 times more than a 1-bedroom. But the per-bedroom price drops significantly with larger villas, making them better value if you are sharing.
Price Per Bedroom (Canggu, Monthly)
| Villa Size | Total Monthly Rent | Per Bedroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom | $800 - $1,500 | $800 - $1,500 |
| 2 bedrooms | $1,200 - $2,500 | $600 - $1,250 |
| 3 bedrooms | $2,000 - $4,000 | $667 - $1,333 |
If you are a couple or solo, a 1-bedroom villa gives you the most privacy. But if you are two couples or a small family, splitting a 3-bedroom villa is significantly cheaper per person. See 3-bedroom villas in Canggu.
Some renters take a 3-bedroom and rent out the extra rooms to other expats. This is common in Canggu and Pererenan. Make sure your rental agreement allows subletting before you do this.
What affects the price most:
Rental scams are a real problem in Bali. Fake listings, inflated prices, and landlords who disappear after you pay are all common, especially on social media.
On Property Plaza, every listing goes through owner verification (ID and property documents) and a physical inspection before it goes live. You deal directly with the owner. No agents, no middleman, no commission.

Ubud is the most affordable area for quality villas. A furnished 1-bedroom villa with a pool starts around $600 per month. Pererenan is another option, with prices starting at $700 per month, offering a quieter alternative to Canggu with easy access to surf and cafes.
Yes. Most landlords ask for a security deposit of 1 to 2 months rent. This deposit covers potential damage and is refundable at the end of your stay if the villa is in good condition. For monthly rentals, a 1-month deposit is standard. For yearly rentals, expect 1 to 2 months.
Yes, negotiation is common and expected. You can typically negotiate 5 to 15 percent off the asking price, especially for stays longer than 6 months. Yearly contracts offer the biggest discounts. The best time to negotiate is during low season (January to March and October to November).
It is risky. Many scam listings appear on social media, with fake photos and fake landlords collecting deposits. If you rent through social media, always visit the property in person before paying. A safer option is to use a verified platform like Property Plaza where every listing is checked and every owner is verified.
Some are, but not most. Pet-friendly villas are harder to find and may charge an extra deposit or monthly fee. On Property Plaza, you can filter for pet-friendly listings specifically. Expect to pay 10 to 20 percent more for a villa that accepts pets.
Property Plaza verifies every listing and takes no commission — see how listings are verified or how it works.
