Bali is a must-visit, at least once in your life. The island is unique in all the world, with its own culture, traditions, religion and Balinese people. It also goes without saying that Bali is one of the most beautiful holiday destinations with breathtaking nature that is so varied and unique to each district and area. It’s also family-friendly and great for travelers of all ages including solo travelers, sun-seekers, thrill-seekers and group excursions. Many people don’t know this, but Bali is a large island – it could take weeks, if not months to truly discover what the island has to offer. You could take your time to explore the island, including the south, the center, north, east and west, not to mention the sister islands, Nusa Lembongan, Ceningan and Penida. Here are some exciting things to do while you’re here in Bali: Beautiful Beaches Bali’s beaches offer unique attractions that are all so different. If you want a “castaway” experience, head to Green Bowl Beach and Padang-Padang in Pecatu, an area much loved by surfers for its challenging waves. For something trendy, head to Seminyak Beach or Echo Beach in Canggu. Petitenget Beach is great for quiet sunsets and calming walks without any distracting beach shacks and loud music. Nusa Dua Beach and Sanur Beach are perfect for families thanks to their calm and shallow waters. For a good seafood meal with a view, head to Jimbaran Beach. Incredible Parties & Nightlife You’ll never run out of a trendy beach club or a cocktail bar while you’re in Bali. There are beach clubs, day clubs, night clubs, bars, speakeasies and lifestyle centers like the brand-new Atlas in Canggu. The food in these venues is outstanding, with incredible cocktails, ice-cold beer and a plethora of drinks to choose from. Of course, the music in these venues is world-class, so get ready to groove to killer tunes by world-renowned international DJs and artists. Ancient Temples On your holiday, take the opportunity to visit some of the more popular Balinese temples. Pura Lempuyang, Pura Tanah Lot, Pura Saraswati, Pura Luhur Besakih and Pura Ulun Danu Beratan are just some of the more popular temples that are also amazing Instagram spots with breathtaking backdrops that will blow up your feed. Don’t forget to add Pura Luhur Uluwatu to your list, for magical cliff-top views and an out-of-this-world kecak performance at sunset! Bali is also great for shopping, dining, spa sessions and for snorkeling and diving. Those who love trekking and hiking can go mountain climbing or cycle through villages and rice fields. Thrill-seekers can go ATV racing, white-water rafting and zip-lining. To do all of this and more, why not make the island your home away from home? You could rent a beautiful tropical villa monthly and make that your base while you explore. The first thing you need to do is pick a location. Places in South Bali that are popular with tourists include Seminyak, Kuta, Legian, Canggu, Sanur, Jimbaran and Uluwatu. You could also get out into the countryside and head to Ubud, Lovina, Amed or Candidasa if you so wish. Ready to begin your Bali adventure?

Bali is one of the most beautiful, yet affordable destinations in Southeast Asia. Who wouldn’t want to spend a few months at a time in Bali to experience everything that the island has to offer?   If this is part of your plan, then you’d be happy to know that there are beautiful luxury villas available for a monthly rent that would make the perfect holiday home!   With such a wide range of options, you can certainly find a villa that will suit your preference and needs. The first thing that you should know is that price alone shouldn’t be the defining factor when it comes to choosing a private monthly villa for rent. Other factors to consider would include location, service, amenities, maintenance, security, and/or staff.   Be aware that you could also be overpaying for services or features that aren’t exactly part of your agreement and/or expectations. Consider speaking to your landlord to set up a written rental contract and/or agreement before you proceed.   In other parts of the world, a rental contract would potentially protect you as a tenant against an unfair lawsuit; this won’t be its main purpose here in Bali as such disputes rarely occur. The main purpose of an agreement or a contract is to set expectations on both sides, so you are both clear on what the landlord is offering and what you will be receiving.   Helping you choose quality monthly villa rentals in Bali   Not all landlords will get into the hassle of writing up a legal rental contract. Most landlords are happy with verbal agreements and base their businesses on good faith. However, a written rental contract can protect you from unexpected matters such as renovations, increased monthly rates, maintenance, etc.   It is a clear set of guidelines on obligations, responsibilities, and liability on both the tenant and the landlord so that you can be sure of a pleasant, long-term rental experience while you’re here in Bali.   Do you have any questions about leasing a villa in Bali?   If you have any inquiries about buying or renting a property in Bali, you can come to us for advice.   Contact Bali Coconut Living.

Canggu is the new Seminyak.   It’s a cool place to be, and more importantly, much cheaper. It’s becoming more and more popular among freelance travellers and digital nomads. Families who frequented Kuta, Seminyak, and Jimbaran are now looking for something new, and they are looking at Canggu.   Where can you stay in Canggu?   You can find a plenty of villas waiting to be occupied at very interesting rates. Currently in our catalogue, the two best villas at a strategic range between the serene paddy field landscapes and the beach are Villa Senyuman and Villa Maimun 1.   Villa Senyuman is a 2-bedroom, 2-story villa. It has a wide pool, fully equipped kitchen, open living space, garden and parking area.   Villa Maimun 1 is a 3-bedroom, 2-story villa sitting on 300 m2 of land. It’s perfect for larger families or friends looking for long-term holiday rentals.   The surfing beaches   Canggu has waves that accommodate surfers of all levels spread over the various beaches. If you are new to surfing, there are surfing schools and private instructors stationed along the seashore to help you to learn or get better at this exciting water sport. In the parts with more challenging waves, expert surfers gather for the surf season from May to September.   Even if you’re not into surfing, there are still plenty of activities to do on the Canggu beaches. You love food, swimming pools and music? Go to Tropicola Beach Club.   Pura Tanah Lot   Have you seen a painting of a Balinese temple surrounded by the sea with a sunset in the background? You won’t believe that it’s even more impressive in real life, this postcard view of the world-famous Pura Tanah Lot with a majestic sunset in the background.   The unique thing about this temple is that it is inaccessible most of the time due to the high tide. Certain weeks, even at ‘low tide’ the shallow path towards the temple is submerged a few dozen centimetres.   But unsurprisingly, the Balinese calendar has marked certain rituals to be conducted at the exact times the temple is accessible. Despite having so many visitors every year, Tanah Lot Temple remains one of the most mysterious and rather curious places in Bali. Be sure to check it out!   Where to shop and eat in Canggu?   Canggu isn’t the isolated coastal town that it once was. The town is abundant with restaurants, clubs, bars, cafes, specialty shops, and coworking spaces.   Throughout the entire length of Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong, you will find places to eat and shop, and you will never truly finish exploring the area as there are so many things to do. Check out the road, which ends on Old Man’s Bar, one of the best sunset spots from Batu Bolong Beach.   Don’t forget to also check out entertainment and sporting venues like the Splash Waterpark Bali, Finns Recreation Club and Tarukan Equestrian Centre.   Too many things to do in Canggu   There are so many things to do in Canggu that it’s necessary to stay in a villa for at least a week or even a month. Luckily Bali Coconut Living has a catalogue of all the villas you can rent monthly around Batu Belig.   Subscribe to our newsletter to receive special offers and important updates about property in Bali!

Staying for a month in a hotel room in Bali may not sound appealing to you. If you are browsing villas for a long-term rental instead, then you are on the right track to save money for traveling while enjoying additional benefits that villas can offer.   At Bali Coconut Living, we are here to help you settle down in Bali quicker and more comfortably. Here is our short guide on how to prepare a budget for your villa.   How costly is traveling in Bali?   This is a fair question to ask with not one well-defined answer – it depends on 2 things: location of your stay, and the type of accommodation.   A good rule of thumb for location is that the easier it is for tourists to access the location, the more expensive the accommodation will be.   The south of Bali has some of the most expensive real estate in the entire country, but you can find great accommodations for your money’s worth in the northern regions (Buleleng, and Bangli), the eastern region (Karangasem), or in the western regions (Tabanan, and Jembrana).   Of course, the northern and western regions are not that popular due to the large distance from the capital (Denpasar), and that may cost you other conveniences like hospitals, banks, and English-speaking locals who can help you. If you’re not planning to explore much in these regions, renting a villa in the south is a safer bet.   Quick guideline for accommodation costs   In South Bali, you can get by with less than US$11 a night. You’d get a small room with a single window, a fan, a cold shower, and if you’re really lucky, you have a pool.   With US$12 to US$25 a night, you should expect air conditioning, hot water shower, a small fridge, wifi and breakfast – although arguably, you can find more satisfying breakfast across the street, if you don’t mind street food. Accommodations like these most likely include swimming pools.   At luxury hotel levels, you should expect greater comfort with a price of at least US$36 a night.   What can villas offer that hostels and hotels do not?   In short, you can enjoy air conditioned rooms, hot showers, a personal kitchen with a refrigerator, gas stove and utilities, a large living room with TV, fast wifi, enough space for friends or family, and possibly a large swimming pool – all this for the price of 12 US-dollars per person per night.   You should definitely check out Villa Cendrawasih in coastal Pererenan (near Canggu). This is one of the many villas in our catalogue, and we normally list villas that are around the popular hot spots in South Bali – Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu, Ubud, Sanur, Nusa Dua, and Tanah Lot.   Search your new holiday home in Bali   Renting and buying holiday homes in Bali is easier than ever. Our agents are happy to assist you with legal document preparations and payment arrangements, so you don’t have to spend too much mental energy in planning your long-term holiday.
