Let’s take a look at the best places to live in Bali with family. Which Part Of Bali Is Best For Families? Bali is big, but the best places to live in Bali with family would be in the more popular neighborhoods of Seminyak (and neighboring Petitenget, Umalas & Kerobokan), as well as the ever-popular hip and trendy Canggu and the calm and laid-back Sanur. Let’s take a look at what each neighborhood has to offer: Seminyak Bali’s most famous & fashionable coastal city is filled with world-class shopping, incredible dining, fantastic pampering, and great entertainment at every corner while beautiful Seminyak Beach is a must-visit, with numerous casual restaurants, beach shacks & beach clubs lining the water’s edge. You can go surfing, horseback riding, or swimming, or head to ‘Eat Street’ to find the best restaurants on the island. Canggu Bali’s most vibrant and trendy neighborhood has beautiful and unique cafes, restaurants to suit all tastes and preferences, and the island’s most exciting beach clubs, shopping, and spas. The vibe here is distinctly different from Seminyak; it’s fresh and unique with so much to see and do. There are wellness & health classes, meet-ups, and fun group activities for both adults and the little ones. Sanur Sanur offers a charming island experience but without the traffic, the noise & the crowds. The town offers elegant dining venues, cool entertainment, amazing spas, and great shopping all wrapped up in a relaxed yet elegant coastal ambiance. The beaches here are soft golden sands with clear calm water, with a long stone promenade that’s lined with gorgeous restaurants, beach clubs, shops, and cafes. Where Do Most Foreigners Live in Bali? In Seminyak, Canggu, and Sanur, there is a huge international community, a healthy mix of locals & foreigners living seamlessly together, as well as a wide range of beautiful and luxurious, family-friendly villas for sale or for long-term rent to choose from. Here are our top three villa recommendations that you’ll love. Coastal Soul Villa A stunning, modern villa in the heart of Seminyak designed for effortless resort-style living, Coastal Soul Villa is perfect for families, with three thoughtfully appointed bedrooms in soft ocean and earthy tones and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Villa Coconut 3 A strikingly modern and minimalistic 2-story, 3-bedroom villa in the trendiest Canggu neighborhood, Villa Coconut 3 comes with an eye-catching monochrome exterior, tinted windows, and an outdoor lounge on emerald green grass that overlooks the pool. The black & white minimalistic theme is punctuated with warm tropical accents, creating a delightful mishmash of styles that is distinctly unique and aesthetically pleasing. The monochromatic theme continues indoors throughout the open-plan living & dining space, in all marble bathrooms, and in the kitchen & laundry area. You’ll love the floor-to-ceiling glass windows that are all around & the balcony that runs the length of the second floor.

Have you ever dreamed of having your own villa in Bali? Bali’s year-round beautiful weather and stunning scenery makes the island a very desirable place to live. Repeat visitors return time and time again for either a short holiday or an extended long-term stay. Some even consider starting a new life in Bali, making this magnificent island a permanent home. If you’re thinking of securing a holiday home or even residing in this paradise for a long time, renting a villa in Bali could be a great choice for you. Before deciding however, there are a few points you need to consider. Here are some things to look into before renting a villa or buying your dream property in Bali! 1 The location Location is one of the most important decisions to make when looking for a villa. When it comes to location, there are many factors to consider such as accessibility, proximity to restaurants, schools, or shopping centers and whether to have rice field views or ocean views. Currently, Seminyak and Canggu are in very high demand when it comes to villa rentals. 2 Accessibility No matter how beautiful a villa is, always keep in mind accessibility to surrounding areas. Make sure it’s within walking or driving distance to dine, shop and do other regular activities. Find out if the road leading to your villa is in good condition and big enough for other cars to pass by. Check also if the street is full of traffic during the rush hour. If your villa is within close proximity of a nearby temple, be mindful of possible road closures during ceremonies. 3 Your rights If you are thinking of investing through long-term renting, you should be aware of your property rights in Bali. Regarding real estate, there are various rights that are recognized by the Indonesian law: The Right to Use The Right to Build The Right to Own Since foreigners have restrictions when it comes to owning properties, the best way to invest is through a leasehold investment. It translates to a long-term lease contract where the Right to Own (owned by the owner) is transferred to you as the Right to Use. With this right, you are able to sub-lease or rent out the villa to other people making it a profitable investment. 4 Reputable property consultants Choosing the right villa consultant is crucial. When it comes to properties, you want a 5 star service and experience. Bali Coconut Living is a reputable property consultant in Bali.
