ℹ️ Market insights derived from verified April 2026 rental listings tracked by Bali Villa Hunter across Bali’s major 2BR villa markets.
There’s no shortage of opinions about the Bali rental market. Hard data is another story.
Every day I scrape, deduplicate, and analyze hundreds of listings across the island’s active rental groups. For this April 2026 snapshot, I filtered down to 492 valid listings spread across the main areas to give you an honest picture of the local market.
While these are still asking prices, they reflect direct peer-to-peer listings rather than heavily marked-up agency rates. By cleaning the data of spam, duplicates, and outliers, and focusing on median values, we get much closer to what long-term rentals actually cost. The primary lens I’m using: pool vs. no pool — still the single biggest price driver on the island.
The market is maturing. Places that were considered “budget alternatives” not long ago are closing the gap on premium locations fast. Here’s exactly what you’re paying for — and where.
“The gap between budget and premium areas is shrinking faster than expected.”
A pool on Bali is the standard. But the cost of having one varies wildly depending on where you are. The table below shows monthly and yearly medians across all areas, sorted by pool price. Pay close attention to the no-pool column — the spread between the two numbers tells you more than the headline figure alone.

ℹ️ Complete breakdown of listing inventory, pool distribution, and median asking prices for 2-bedroom villas across Bali areas included in the April 2026 rental market analysis.
Drop the pool requirement and prices fall by more than 50%. Seminyak goes from 23M → 10.2M. Denpasar from 18.3M → 8.0M. That's real money if you're watching your budget.
Of 96 total listings, 23 have no pool — and they're priced at 22.9M versus 25.0M for those with one. My hypothesis: the no-pool properties here are likely newer luxury apartments or homes close enough to the beach that the location itself substitutes for the water feature.
The bigger the sample, the more reliable the median. Keep that in mind as you read. Areas flagged with ⚠️ have fewer than 10 listings — treat those numbers as a rough signal, not a firm conclusion.
Canggu (138 listings) is still the most liquid market on the island. A yearly median of 306M IDR shows a clear price ceiling. With this volume of listings, the numbers are about as trustworthy as Bali data gets.
Seseh (96 listings) is growing at a pace that’s hard to ignore. A yearly median of 280M IDR confirms that investors and renters have moved west — and the prices followed. This is no longer the area you go to save money over Canggu.
The second-largest dataset in this snapshot at 101 listings. A monthly median of 20.8M with pool and a yearly figure of 235M make Sanur the most data-supported “best value” choice for expats who need proper infrastructure — good roads, hospitals, international schools, solid internet. The lifestyle is quieter than Canggu, but the numbers back it up.
Denpasar (28 listings) is where the local market lives. At 18.3M/month with pool it looks similar to other areas, but the no-pool median of 8.0M is the real story here — if you’re chasing local pricing and don’t need the pool, this is your most realistic option.
Lovina (12 listings) is the cheapest area in the dataset at 10M/month with pool and 144M yearly. The price accurately reflects the distance from the south. If you work fully remotely and don’t need Canggu-level infrastructure, Lovina is more underrated than most people think — just be honest with yourself about the commute before signing anything.
Analyst note: all three have fewer than 10 listings in this snapshot. Medians like Ubud at 22.9M or Nusa Dua at 25.0M could easily be skewed by one or two premium villas. Don’t make a relocation decision based on these numbers alone.
This area doesn’t appear as a standalone category in this particular sample — it’s folded into the “Other” bucket (67 listings, 20.8M median with pool). More on that below.
The monthly-to-yearly math in Canggu is worth doing out loud: 27M × 12 = 324M IDR. The yearly median in the data is 306M IDR. Paying a year upfront saves you roughly 5.5%. From a pure data standpoint, that's not a compelling reason to lock yourself in — unless you have a specific reason to fix your price before the next peak season.
If you're budget-conscious, don't bother hunting for no-pool properties in Seseh or Canggu — the spread is too small to matter. Go to Seminyak or Denpasar. In those areas, skipping the pool drops the price by more than half. That's where the decision actually makes financial sense.
Watch out for small samples. If someone tells you "the average price in Nusa Dua is 25M," ask them how many villas that figure is based on. As you can see from this data, five listings can produce any number you want. The median is only meaningful when you have the volume to back it up. The "Other" category is a trap. 67 listings with a pool median of 20.8M — the same as Sanur — but this bucket covers everything from Tabanan to the east coast. The internal price range is enormous. Paying Sanur money for a property in a random rural area does not mean you're getting Sanur infrastructure.
The Bali market is maturing. The extreme swings are settling, but places like Seseh show exactly how fast prices respond to demand when the momentum shifts. The data is consistent: if budget matters, you’re trading either the pool or the location. There’s no third option at these price points. This is one snapshot pulled from nearly 4,000 listings the system currently tracks. The numbers will move — some areas faster than others. The goal is to give you an honest baseline every month, so you know what you’re actually looking at when a landlord or agent quotes you a price.
