What are the minimum and maximum rental periods?

Most apartments are available from 1 week up to 12 months or longer. Weekly rentals (1 to 4 weeks) are great for first time visitors, monthly (1 to 11 months) for digital nomads and remote workers, and yearly leases for expats settling in Bali long term.

Are the apartments furnished?

Yes, the vast majority of our apartments are fully furnished and move-in ready: bed, sofa, desk, kitchen equipment, AC, fast WiFi, towels and linens. Some yearly options can also be rented unfurnished if you prefer to bring your own things.

Which areas of Bali do you cover?

We have apartments in all the popular areas: Canggu, Berawa, Pererenan, Seminyak, Kuta, Jimbaran, Ubud, Sanur and Uluwatu. Tell us your priorities (beach, rice fields, surf, family, nightlife) and we suggest the best fit.

Are utilities and WiFi included in the price?

WiFi is almost always included. Electricity and water are sometimes included for monthly rentals (usually with a fair-use cap) and billed separately for yearly leases. We always tell you exactly what is included before you book.

How do I book an apartment?

Send us a WhatsApp message with your dates, area preference, number of bedrooms and budget. Within minutes we send you 3 to 5 matching apartments with photos, prices and availability. Once you pick one, we secure it with a deposit.

Can I see the apartment before paying?

Absolutely. If you are already in Bali we arrange a viewing the same day. If you are still abroad, we send you a video walkthrough on WhatsApp before you commit any money.

Expat Guide: Renting an Apartment in Bali Long Term

What expats settling in Bali in 2026 need to know — visa types, contracts, deposits, utility costs, and the right apartment for each visa status.

Moving to Bali long-term is exciting, but the rental side has rules that are not obvious to first-time expats. This guide covers what you actually need to know.

Visa First, Apartment Second

Your visa type determines what kind of lease you can sign:

B211A (visa on arrival, 60 days extendable): monthly rentals only — landlords will not give you a yearly lease without a longer-term visa
B211 socio-cultural (60 days, extendable up to 6 months): monthly or 6-month leases possible
KITAS (1-year work or retirement): yearly leases are normal, you can rent unfurnished
KITAP (5-year permanent): any lease, often direct from owner

If you are planning to stay 12+ months, get the KITAS first — it changes your rental options significantly.

How Bali Yearly Leases Work

A yearly lease in Bali is unlike a Western lease:

Lump-sum payment: typically the full year is paid upfront (sometimes split in 2)
Furnished or unfurnished: unfurnished apartments are 20-30% cheaper but you need to buy/bring your furniture
Maintenance: small repairs are usually the tenant's responsibility
Notice: there is rarely a "break clause" — once you sign, the year is committed

Utilities — Always Read the Contract

Pay attention to utilities. The two patterns are:

1. All-inclusive monthly: electricity, water, WiFi all included up to a fair-use cap (e.g. 1 million IDR / month of electricity) 2. Yearly bare: rent only, you pay your own bills directly to PLN (electricity) and PDAM (water)

For an AC-heavy apartment in Canggu, electricity alone can run 2 to 4 million IDR / month ($130-$260). Always ask.

Deposit and Security

Typical security deposit is 1 month (monthly leases) or 1-2 months (yearly leases). Always written into the contract, always returnable minus damages.

Pets and Family

Most apartments allow small dogs and cats, but always confirm in writing before paying. For families, look at 2BR or 3BR apartments — single-bedroom apartments rarely allow children long-term in shared compounds.

Final Tip — Get the Contract in English

Indonesian-only contracts can hide unfavorable clauses. Reputable agents will provide a bilingual or English contract. We always do.
