A Simple Guide on Renting a Villa in Bali
5 April 2019 by AdeWhether you’re staying for an extended period of time or just a number of days, renting a villa in Bali is one of the best ways to enjoy your vacation here in paradise. The pleasure of having a tropical pool in your backyard while also enjoying lush green rice field views will definitely make your Bali holiday even more enjoyable. Traditional or modern, Bali has villas catering to every budget and preference. You can choose to have in-house staff, an outdoor bathroom, a beachfront villa, or even a property with a personal chef. With an abundance of villas available, choosing one can be a bit tricky. If you’re thinking of renting a daily, monthly or yearly villa in Bali, here is a guide to help you out. 1 Decide on the location Bali has various neighborhoods, each with a different kind of ambience. Know what you’re looking for beforehand and decide which area you want to stay in. If you’re seeking a neighborhood with chic restaurants, stylish beach clubs and high end boutiques, Seminyak would suit you well. This location is home to plenty of luxurious and spacious villas in close proximity to the beach. Not so far from Seminyak is Canggu. This upcoming area has a lot to offer, including vegetarian restaurants, fitness studios and coworking spaces and is also known as a surfer’s paradise. There’s a large number of villas up for monthly and yearly rental in Canggu. Another neighborhood to consider is Umalas. This tranquil area is still dominated by rice terraces, which makes it a peaceful place to live. The location has easy access to Seminyak and Canggu, making it ideal for people working in either of those two areas. 2 Know what you want and need A practical tip is to create a checklist of what you want and need. Do you need high-speed wifi? Do you want a pool? How many bedrooms do you need? Do you want limited street noise or are you looking for a villa in walking distance to restaurants and bars? Are you looking for a beachfront villa or a villa with rice field views? Do you need full-time staff? Be sure to answer the essential questions before deciding on a specific villa. 3 Have a budget Most importantly, know how much you want to spend. Renting a villa in Bali might also require you to pay bills such as water and electricity and they may be excluded from your monthly rental quote. Some may give you lower prices when you book for a longer period of time and some prices may alter during low or high season. When you stay in Bali for more than a week with a large group of people, a villa can end up as a bargain compared to booking a hotel room.
