Bali Long-Term Rentals

24 listings from Palm Living, refreshed daily

These are the villas and houses Palm Living lets for long stays on Bali's north coast, from its long-term rental pages on bali-information.com, refreshed here every day. If you want to rent a house in Bali for a few months or a year, each listing gives the rent as Palm Living quotes it, usually in rupiah and sometimes in euros or US dollars, and what that rent includes. Palm Living has let villas on this coast for twenty-four years and runs a helpdesk in Lovina, in the same area as the houses.

Each house states its own terms: some quote a monthly rent, some a yearly one, and Palm Living takes monthly rentals on request. A monthly villa rental costs more per month than a yearly lease for the flexibility, and suits a first landing or a trial before committing. Rent in the north sits below the south coast for a comparable house, and long-stay villas are commonly let fully furnished. The biggest difference between two houses at the same rent is what it covers: staff, water, electricity and internet are included on some and extra on others, so compare the rent plus everything it leaves out.

Most people base themselves in Lovina or the hills behind it, with Singaraja about twenty minutes east for the regional hospital and larger shops. A lease gives you a house but no right to stay in Indonesia, so sort the visa before you commit to a year's rent. Northbound's guides cover the rest: long-term rentals in north Bali, the cost of living, moving to north Bali, the Bali visa guide and where to stay in north Bali.

Questions

Can you rent a villa long term in north Bali?

Yes. Villas and houses along the north coast are let by the month and by the year, with yearly leases the norm for the better properties. Most newcomers base themselves in Lovina or the hills behind it; Munduk and the Pemuteran area suit smaller groups of long-stayers.

Is it cheaper to rent monthly or yearly?

Yearly. A monthly let costs more per month for the flexibility, while a yearly lease brings the monthly equivalent down substantially, usually in exchange for a longer minimum term and payment in advance.

What is included in a long-term villa rental?

It depends on the house. Some rents include staff, water, electricity and internet; others include none of them; some include staff but not utilities. Long-stay villas are commonly let fully furnished. Get every inclusion written into the contract.

Do you need a visa to rent long term in Bali?

You need a visa to stay, and a lease does not provide one. Short stays use a visa on arrival; longer ones use a visit visa, the remote-worker route or a KITAS. Check the current rules with a licensed agent before you sign a year's lease.

Where is the best place to rent long term in north Bali?

Lovina and its villages for most people, because the coast there has the most services and Singaraja is close. The hills behind Lovina suit people who want space and views and will drive. Munduk suits those who want cool mountain air; Pemuteran suits divers who want quiet.

What should you check before signing a lease?

That your visa covers the length of the lease, that you have seen the house in person, and that every inclusion, the payment schedule and currency, the deposit terms and the renewal and notice terms are written into the contract. Confirm that the person you pay is the owner or holds written authority, and measure the internet speed in the house.
