Bali is known for its rich culture, friendly people, and not to mention it’s beautiful accommodations at affordable prices. Digital nomads, travelers, and expats have grown to love Bali as their home away from home. It has been said that Bali has become a digital nomad’s ultimate dream of living as you can live a luxury villa life in Bali with private pool at an affordable price. However, we know that finding the best villas for rent on the island can be difficult as there are so many to choose from.
An average digital nomad is said to stay at least 1 to 2 months in Bali. This of course usually depends on the visa they have attained when they enter Bali. Usually staying for a longer period of time allows for cheaper rentals. Accommodations can start from as little as 250 USD for a guest house if you are looking for a low budget place. These options are usually popular if you are looking to live cheap in Bali.
Villas however, are a pricier option but ultimately affordable for what you are getting. Imagine staying in a beautiful modern styled 1 bedroom villa with your own private pool, and a view of the rice paddies for as little as USD 1000 per month.
With these being said, we’ve put together for you a curated list of the best value for money villas in Bali to rent.
If you are tempted to book any of them, make sure you contact our Balinese friends from “The Bali Coliving” on Instagram for special deals and offers on all these villas.
