Everything you’ll need is within easy reach including private hospitals and clinics, great shopping and wonderful restaurants. Jimbaran Beach, a beautiful stretch of golden sandy beach, also doubles as the island’s famous seafood hub. Thanks to its hilly landscape and great location close to the sea, residents of Jimbaran enjoy the wonderful sea breeze that blows in from the bay all year round. Sanur A favorite with families, expats and retirees, Sanur is a beautiful seaside town that is truly idyllic and tranquil. It was one of the very first places to welcome tourists in the 1930s, and still permeates an atmosphere of “old Bali”. When retiring in Bali, you could spend your days exploring Sanur’s elegant dining venues, wonderful entertainment and great shopping. The main streets are lined with shady trees and wide sidewalks, making it a delight to explore.

Moving to Bali? Let’s take a look at the best places to live in Bali for expats. Bali is larger than most people think with multiple towns that come with their own distinct character and unique offerings. Here’s a little summary of each town to give you an idea of what to expect and why they are the best places to live in Bali for expats. Seminyak Bali’s most “cosmopolitan” and fashionable city comes with exciting surprises in the form of world-class shopping, dining, pampering and entertainment. There is something for everyone and for all ages to enjoy, which is why it is one of the best places to live in Bali for expats. Seminyak Beach is a hub of activity and is a popular destination at sunset with trendy beach clubs and restaurants offering delicious cocktails, amazing food and toe-tapping music. Let’s not forget “Eat Street” with its plethora of incredible dining options! When looking for a Bali villa for yearly rent, remember that Seminyak would include the neighboring towns of Petitenget and Umalas. Canggu Once a quiet town teeming with rice fields and surfers, Canggu is now Bali’s most vibrant and exciting seaside town, filled with beautiful cafes, restaurants, beach clubs, shopping, spas, and a thriving wellness scene. It all began in Berawa but these days, all neighborhoods like Batu Botong, Tanah Barak and Batu Mejan, Tanah Lot and Mengwi are also considered Canggu. Expats looking for fresh and friendly vibes, amazing views, great surfing and pleasing aesthetics would love staying here. Everything is at your fingertips – great food for all dietary requirements, flashy outlets, co-working spaces, fun group activities and cool places to hang out, with pretty spas, yoga studios, gyms and wonderful beach clubs to suit all preferences. Kuta Kuta is ideal for expats who are looking for a place with a touch of nostalgia. Here is where it all began, and today Kuta is a thriving town with so much to see and do. Some might find it slightly overwhelming but it has a unique electrifying energy that attracts. In addition to the seemingly unending number of hotels and resorts, restaurants, warungs, pubs and cafes here, Kuta retains its original charms which can easily be found in its many narrow streets and alleys where one could find establishments that have withstood the test of time. Most notably, Kuta is the ultimate sunset destination in South Bali, for the most spectacular blazing red, pink and purple skies every day at sundown. Denpasar The capital of Bali is the center of commerce and education and the seat of the Bali government. The city is no Seminyak or Canggu, but it offers a mix of urban conveniences and traditional Balinese culture, making it ideal for expats who want to be in the center of it all. Being in Denpasar means close access to all schools, offices, markets and government offices. There is great value to be found here with lower costs of living and plenty of local establishments to explore and discover. Denpasar is also close to Sanur with its beautiful beaches, shopping and great dining and Renon, with its gorgeous and expansive park that’s ideal for morning jogs and afternoon walks. Legian Legian is the “entertainment capital” of Bali with non-stop partying, music, shopping and great food and drinks. Kuta’s sister town is also home to beautiful beaches with soft golden sands and a relaxed vibe. The town is pedestrian-friendly, meaning that you could walk to explore and discover gorgeous hidden gems along the main streets and alleyways. You’ll find new, aesthetically pleasing cafes as well as traditional Balinese venues with the charms of yesteryear. Just like Kuta, it’s perfect for expats who love a mix of the old and new and a pulsing entertainment scene at the iconic Legian Street, a pumping and thriving entertainment and shopping hub for both locals and visitors!

Retiring in Bali is the perfect way to spend your golden years. Nothing beats waking up in the world’s most beloved tropical paradise day after day, surrounded by beauty, luxury, great weather and the warmth of the Balinese people. Financially, retiring in Bali is a smart way to keep your money working for you. The cost of living is reasonable and affordable when compared to developed nations and other cities in the region. Of course, your budget and lifestyle also come into play but the bottom line is that a stronger foreign currency would go a long way here in Bali. So be prepared to enjoy great value on the cost of living; everything from accommodations to food, entertainment, transportation, and amenities. To give you an idea of the cost of living for retirees in Bali, we’d recommend that you regularly check the current dollar-to-rupiah exchange rate, which at the moment is USD 6 per IDR 100,000. Here’s a rough breakdown of the cost of living for retirees in Bali: Accommodation - Modern Apartment or Luxury Villa The price for a yearly villa rent in Bali can vary greatly depending on the location, inclusions and amenities. A Bali villa rent yearly in Seminyak, Canggu, Uluwatu, Ubud or Sanur can cost you anywhere from IDR 200 million or USD 13,000 to IDR 800 million or USD 53,000, fully furnished with a garden and a pool, with cleaning, maintenance, night security, water, rubbish collection, parking space, banjar fees and wifi all included. A thoughtfully-designed, fully-equipped apartment in all of the areas mentioned above would range between IDR 80 million or USD 5,000 to IDR 300 million or USD 20,000 a year, fully furnished and inclusive of cleaning, maintenance and upkeep, night security, water, rubbish collection, banjar fees, parking space and wifi. Begin the search for your Bali villa for rent yearly or apartment for monthly or long-term rent with Bali Coconut Living. Dining Food is delicious and affordable in Bali, for both local and international cuisines. Street food and local warungs (small eateries) offer meals for as little as USD $1 to USD $2 per dish. Prices would understandably be higher if you prefer to dine out at speciality restaurants, trendy cafes or at beach clubs. Expect to spend approximately USD $10 per dish or per cocktail in a well-established eatery or a five-star venue. Groceries Fresh local vegetables and fruits, meat, eggs, seafood and poultry are all available at standard market rates and are even cheaper at the local wet markets. For example, 1kg of garlic costs IDR 20,000 or approximately USD 1.30 and a whole chicken costs IDR 45,000 each or USD 3.00. There are air-conditioned supermarkets which offer fresh bakery and imported goods which would cost substantially more than local products here in Bali. Scooter & Car Rental You could easily rent a scooter or a car here in Bali & public transportation such as taxis, Grab and GoJek are relatively affordable. Hiring a driver would also be a smart way to get around while contributing to the local economy. Plus, you won’t have to worry about driving in Bali’s infamous traffic or finding parking! Staff One of the requirements for obtaining a Retirement Visa is to hire a local Balinese person to help you around your home. Expect to pay IDR 2,000,000 or USD $134 to IDR 2,500,000 or USD $160 per month per staff, which is a bargain considering everything that they’ll help you with from cleaning to groceries, feeding your pets, cooking and keeping you company. Retirement Visa All you need to retire in Bali is a Retirement Visa which would set you back approximately USD 800 or USD 12 million per year per applicant. Ready to retire in Bali?

One of the most common questions we receive as Bali’s leading property consultant and villa property agent is “what are the costs of living like in Bali like now?” Since the pandemic ended, tourism has thankfully recovered. This means that prices and the cost of living on the island has returned to normal. The good news is that living in Bali is incredibly affordable. This is especially true if you’re earning money in a stronger foreign currency, which means you can enjoy great value for money on everything from accommodation to food, entertainment, transportation, amenities and more. Do bear in mind though that the cost of living in Bali and anywhere in the world can vary depending on various factors and on your personal habits. Whether you are the type of person who likes to live lavishly or economize, at the end of the day, your monthly or yearly budgets really depend on you. To give you an idea of how affordable it is for a family or a digital nomad to live in Bali, you can check the current dollar to rupiah exchange rate. At the moment, it is approximately USD 7 to every IDR 100,000. This makes Bali a relatively affordable place to live, especially when compared to other major cities in the region. Here’s a rough breakdown of how much living in Bali could cost you: Apartment or Villas Accommodation is one of the biggest expenses in Bali, but it is also the most important. Remember that the cost of your villa or apartment can vary greatly depending on the location, type of property, and amenities. Renting a family-friendly villa in the most popular areas of Seminyak, Canggu, Uluwatu, Ubud or Sanur can cost you anywhere from IDR 200 million to IDR 800 million a year. The costs would come fully furnished and inclusive of cleaning, maintenance and upkeep, night security, water, rubbish collection, parking space, banjar fees and wifi. Meanwhile, a modern, chic and trendy apartment for digital nomads in Canggu or Seminyak would range between IDR 80 million to IDR 300 million a year and would also come fully-furnished and inclusive of cleaning, maintenance and upkeep, night security, water, rubbish collection, banjar fees, parking space and wifi. Begin the search for your Bali villa for rent yearly or apartment for monthly or long-term rent in Bali by clicking here. Dining Food is also relatively affordable in Bali, for both local and international cuisines. Street food and local warungs (small eateries) offer affordable meals for as little as USD $1 to USD $2 per dish. Prices would understandably be higher if you prefer to dine out at speciality restaurants, trendy cafes or at the beach clubs. Groceries Fresh local vegetables and fruits, meat, eggs and poultry are all available at standard market rates and are even cheaper if you shop at the local wet markets. Most expats and foreigners would shop at air-conditioned supermarkets which also offer a fresh bakery and imported goods. Do bear in mind that imported items would cost substantially more than local products here in Bali. Scooter or Car Rental Transportation is another expense to consider, especially if you plan on owning a car or bike. Gas prices are higher compared to other countries, and traffic can be quite congested in certain areas of Bali. However, public transportation such as buses and taxis are relatively affordable. Overall, the cost of living in Bali can be affordable for many, but it ultimately depends on your lifestyle and preferences. It's recommended to research and plan your budget accordingly if you're considering moving to Bali. Ready to live out your dream life here in Bali? Contact us now.

Buying a villa in Bali is not only a dream come true, but it is also a smart and practical move! A luxury tropical villa in one of the most coveted destinations on earth is not only a fantastic financial investment, but it also gives you a place to call your own while you’re in Bali. Renting is also possible of course, but why live under someone else’s rules when you can set your own? There’s also the possibility of a price increase, depending on the current economic and social climate. The more tourists, the higher the demand – your landlord could easily increase your rent by 20-30% every year! Then you would have to move around searching for a villa to suit your budget; the process could repeat itself indefinitely. Then there’s the possibility that you could be evicted at short notice. This would be terrible news if you have a family! Also, renting a villa means that nothing in that property is truly yours, and you’ll be restricted in so many ways in terms of style, layout and interior decorations. You also cannot redecorate, renovate, have multiple pets, or host a high number of your friends and family at once if you so wish. Buying A Villa in Bali When you buy a villa in Bali, you have more control over the property and don't need to worry about a landlord raising the rent or evicting you. You can also customize your villa to your own tastes and needs and you will have more freedom to make changes in the future. In addition to coming and going as you please, you can take advantage of the villa to develop a community of friends and neighbors.
