Apartments in Bali don’t typically look like the high-rise apartments in large metropolitan areas. For one, a Bali apartment consists of at least two building units, back-to-back, that are typically two stories tall. The buildings share a small private driveway and walkway, and the more luxurious of the apartments have a shared swimming pool and cleaning services.   In this article, we feature Leo Apartment, a luxury apartment in Kerobokan, North Kuta, that offers you a 4-star hotel experience for one whole month at a fraction of the price. Of course, you can extend your stay as this apartment is also suitable for long-term stays. It’s a perfect option for longer-term stays or frequent visitors, but without the commitment to own a villa in Bali.   Perfect location   If you are staying long term, you shouldn’t choose a property that is directly near the beach, unless you absolutely love seeing the beach every single day of your stay in Bali. Kuta and Seminyak beaches, while beautiful in many respects, are high-traffic tourist zones, meaning getting in and out of your residential area will be more challenging due to traffic the closer you are to the beach.   Leo Apartment is located around 10-20 minutes from the buzzing seaside destinations, and its location offers you a chance to explore other parts of Bali that are equally beautiful but less traveled, such as Tabanan, Karangasem, and Bedugul.   Added value at every detail   The management at Leo Apartment has dedicated long hours to preparing the best experiences possible for its residents. From the chosen furnishings to the cleaning and maintenance service that are fully responsible for keeping the apartment rooms and surroundings in tip-top shape.   Choosing an apartment in Bali for long-term rental may pay off in the long run. You don’t have to buy any furniture, appliances or kitchen utensils in order to live a comfortable and normal lifestyle. You also don’t have to spend hours maintaining every facet of your property. Finally, you are also not tied to one single location, giving you ultimate freedom.   Should you have any questions, our friendly representatives here at Bali Coconut Living can help you out.

Excited to browse our range of properties to choose from? Here are some useful tips to know before you choose your favorite villa. Bali yearly rentals offer a lot of value for those who come to Bali to work, play, and rest. After all, the island is a bustling marketplace for remote-working creative professionals, and it is a great idea to make one of the many beautiful and affordable villas your home — a temporary home it seems, but a home nevertheless.   Excited to browse our range of properties? Here are some useful tips to know before you choose your favorite villa.   1. Bali yearly rental access is sometimes better than distance   It is true that location is the most important factor, but how do you determine which location is right for you? Do you first consider the distance to the beach, or a favorite hotspot, or to your favorite Bali destination? You may not want to live in a remote location away from the excitement, but you also do not want to live where you play — the novelty and excitement of your favorite place is diminished once you are accustomed to it.   Therefore, pick a location where it is easy to access not just your favorite places, but also the rest of Bali. This makes it easy to pursue a change of pace at a whim.   2. Consider each villa’s facilities and surroundings   As you will live in the villa for at least a year, it is important to get comfortable by taking advantage of the conveniences that our villas have to offer. Gardener, housemaid, and rubbish collection are extra value additions that you can easily outsource with our help. Check for the rates on the internet connection as well as its signal strength and reliability.   Other than that, consider your surroundings. Do you have access to the grocery store or restaurants for a good meal? Is the villa private enough that you can enjoy a quiet evening in peace?   3. Ask about subletting policies for your Bali yearly rental   Each landlord has different rules about subletting (leasing to a subtenant). After living here for quite some time, you may consider renting one of your rooms to a holiday tourist. In case this is your plan, please have a thorough discussion with the landlord. In general, subletting is most likely possible with a leasehold title. It is inadvisable to sublet a villa regularly without the appropriate license.   Check out our villas at Bali Coconut Living, a property agent that can help you find your long term villa rental in Bali. We are also a villa management service to help landlords manage their villas for them.

Villa Nevada 6 is available for yearly rent, offering a strategic home base at Batu Belig Road and great stay experiences to enjoy once the villa is yours. Villa Nevada 6 isn’t your average 3-bedroom medium-sized villa. For a villa of this size and caliber, it surely can accommodate high quality living for a family of four with two children, or even a group of nomadic digital talents wanting to tap into the elusive Balinese market.   Villa Nevada 6 is available for yearly rental in Bali at a decent price, offering a great location at Batu Belig Road as well as great stay experiences that can be enjoyed once the villa is yours. Let’s take a peek into the villa.   Spacious gardens for a yearly villa in Bali   The villa sits on a generous 300 square meters of land, which means it can accommodate a small swimming pool and a decent outdoor sitting area, a perfect place to have a picnic within the villa grounds. Reclining on a daybed in the garden next to a pool while working or relaxing, is an ideal picture of the Bali lifestyle.   Most of the villas we feature in Bali Coconut Living put an emphasis on being close to nature. After all, Bali is an island that is blessed with natural beauty, and residents of a villa should be exposed to it as much as possible.   The garden features many tropical plants with large leaves, which offers pleasant sights and fresh air. Some plants are flowering plants that are simple to maintain; all you need to do is to water them a little bit during the dry season, but you can let nature do the rest during the monsoon season.   The interior of Villa Nevada 6   If there is one word to describe this Bali yearly villa, it is home. It is a noun, not an adjective, for many reasons. Any villa can be cozy, homey, and welcoming, but not any villa can be a home.   Villa Nevada 6 in particular is a home to many people who have rented it before. The villa is simple, minimalistic, with traditional charms mixed with contemporary arts and decorative features. It is the feeling that you can find in most people’s homes — a little bit of something new from the home depot, mixed in with family heirlooms and objects of sentiment.   The interior design of Villa Nevada 6 is familiar yet refreshing.

Last year, we have published an article (Where to rent a villa in Bali?) to show both buyers and sellers of property rentals what the different locations across Bali can offer.   However, for serious people looking to invest in property, simply knowing where your customers are renting is not enough justification to pick a location for your investment.   But this fact is good news because it gives you more options. You can still make sound investments even on property that is not prime real estate such as Seminyak, Kuta, or Uluwatu. You can still start your project even with limited funds.   You just have to follow the 4 rules of thumb for a smooth property business: 1. Place bets on development 2. Know your neighborhood 3. Know your customers 4. Opt for low maintenance properties   1. Place bets on development   The first principle is counter intuitive. You know that Seminyak, Kuta, Uluwatu and many ‘hotspots’ have high occupancy rates, attractive neighborhoods, and are the first places people read about when they look up ‘Bali’ online.   Well, they are incredibly expensive properties to buy. You will also compete with people who have a ton of experience in the playing field. In addition, tourism never stays in one location; it spreads out.   You should learn to predict future developments in tourism. While still cheap, buy properties in Canggu, Mengwi, Pererenan, Karangasem, and be one of the first to play the property game here.         2. Know your neighborhood   Developing areas still have natural and cultural features that are relatively untouched, which can become your USP (Unique Selling Point). Despite all the advice that you read about investing in Bali properties, you don’t need to get close to the beach.   Look at Ubud. It’s a hilly little town whose growth in tourism is fueled by peaceful terrace rice fields and a Monkey Forest. The nearest coastline is 40 minutes away by car.   Pick an area that is close to undiscovered natural attractions, like an increasingly popular hiking route, a beautiful view point, or an untouched bay where locals enjoy swimming.   Make sure that your property is accessible by car (i.e. located on the main road). Take some free insight from our Location Guide.   3. Know your customers   Think beyond ‘tropical beach paradise and martinis’ – Bali offers more than that. Instead, think of ‘escapism’ as the main attractive quality of the island. People come here to release tension of everyday living through various ways – yoga, surfing, night clubs, photography, trekking, and more.   Bali is also becoming an increasingly popular destination for digital nomads – they come here to discover fresh perspectives and a new work-life balance.   Work with what you have, and build your property around accommodating the unique needs of your market.   4. Opt for low maintenance properties   If you are building your villa or holiday home from scratch, pay attention to how reliable the land is. Is it prone to drought or flooding?   If you bought land with a property, carefully inspect the building. Does it need repainting? Any facility replacements?   A long-term property investment requires a marketing strategy   If you’re worried about the low occupancy rate, make use of free social media platforms to advertise your property or advertise via word-of-mouth.   Businesses usually run slowly at first, but if you invest in digital marketing (buying a simple website, for example), your property will have a better presence and image online, and would outcompete other new players that are still behind in marketing.   Bali Coconut Living is not only a property agency – we can advertise your property, manage it for you, and even give you some consultation from legal aspects to investment advice.

The steady growth of visitors coming to Bali is a confident signal that there is no shortage of potential tenants. However, you will most likely compete with the well-established hotel industry, if not other property owners in the market.   So how can you find tenants for your newly polished and treasured property asset? One of the easiest ways to market your property is through our property listing at Bali Coconut Living.   Why Bali Coconut Living?   Unlike most property agencies, we go above and beyond simply advertising your property online, in the hope that the right people will come to the right web page.   We think that the chances of this happening are astronomically small. So instead of waiting for tenants to find your property, we proactively add value to your properties.   Villa Management and Marketing Services   We understand that the property purchase was only half the battle. Maintaining the property to its fullest potential takes a lot of work, but that’s not all there is to do.   In order to receive positive referrals from your guests, it would be wise to provide services to cater to their unique needs and expectations.   Guest services and Day-to-day Operations: Trained hospitality staff and managers will ensure that your villa is as welcoming and comfortable as possible.   Building and technical maintenance: Our reliable technical staff ensures that no power outage or drought can dramatically decrease the level of comfort and happiness of your guests.   You can also rely on our marketing team not only to advertise your villa’s availability, but also to simplify the booking and payment process. No more hassle with international bank transfers.   Your guests can simply pay up front before coming to your villa; your earnings will be securely deposited into your account.   We value transparency as much as you do. We provide monthly reports on how your villa is doing, including recommendations on what actions to take.   A villa success story   Villa Natayani is just one of the villas whose owners have entrusted us its management. It is a 2-bedroom Bali-style villa, located in Seminyak’s Oberoi “East Street”. Every newly arriving guest is greeted by the Villa Manager or the Senior Butler. The respectful and unobtrusive maid and pool attendants work at their very best to ensure that the guests’ holiday experience is not met with any inconvenience.   Bali Coconut Living is a property agency, consultant, and management service under one roof. Kindly inquire about any questions you may have surrounding property ownership, management, and business.

A villa is perfect accommodation for a family on holiday, because it is typically spacious and private. At best, it includes a swimming pool and is centrally located to popular spots. At worst, it’s a holiday home to share the joy of vacationing together as a family.   Checklist for A Family-Friendly Villa   When searching for family villas, you must also consider whether or not the location is family-friendly. If you have small children, it is best not to rent villas that are too close, or even directly on, the main street. Bali can be hot, so the area should have a great abundance of greenery, and not many cars passing by. Also, to avoid a lot of noise at night, it is best to find villas that are not too close to bars and big restaurants.   Villas located near the beach can be a treat for older children. Bali’s shorelines are relatively safe. You only need to make sure that your children respect the safe boundaries, and don’t swim too far out to sea. Canggu   Canggu is one of the most family-friendly places in southwestern Bali. Terraced rice fields that gently roll from Mengwi, are sought-after natural features for the location of yoga retreats and restaurants.   The roads are not too busy for families to cross safely. Even the main road, Jl Pantai Berawa, is not crowded with vehicles, so families can enjoy a healthy morning walk on most of the roads in Canggu.   On Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong, you can find Tarukan Equestrian Center where you can take your children to ride horses, and Taman Segara Madu Water Park – something you can all look forward to! For your parents, The Canggu Studio offers relaxing yoga for the elderly. Seminyak   Although Seminyak has attracted an increasing number of crowds over the years, it is a very friendly place for families. The area surrounding Seminyak Square and Seminyak Village shopping centers, has crowds that are typical when locals and foreigners congregate to find family entertainment here.   Even at night, it is unlikely to find bars with heart-pumping music and drunken people in Jl. Petitenget and Jl. Kayu Jati. In fact, most people come here to spend an evening with a positive vibe, and perhaps to try out some gelatos, like Gelato Secrets. Uluwatu   Uluwatu is the destination for cultural lovers and surfers. While the area is not as developed as Kuta or Seminyak, it attracts a different, calmer crowd altogether. You might not see a great collection of bars and fancy restaurants, but this location is just perfect if you want to settle down in a quiet villa with nothing but a brilliant view of the sunset from the famous Uluwatu clifftops. Jimbaran   There is a good reason why the Intercontinental Resort was built in this area. The quiet atmosphere, coupled with a beautiful beach, is exactly what you need for precious shared moments at a family barbeque, with swimming by the sea.   If there is one place closely associated with family gathering, it’s seafood restaurant. Especially in Asian cultures, seafood restaurants are known to be a hub for family gatherings. Jimbaran has an abundance of these, so you always have many options to choose from.   Bali Coconut Living is a property agent in Bali that specializes in leasehold and freehold properties.
