Budgets against asking rents, by bedroom
The left column is what renters asked for in the month to 19 October 2026, the median of the budgets they stated. The right column is what villas listed by Baliestate’s partner agencies asked per month on 20 October 2026, the median of priced monthly rentals. Requests often name a maximum, so the real gap may be a little smaller than the table shows.
| Bedrooms | Requests naming it | Median budget a month | Priced listings | Median asking rent a month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 332 | IDR 13.5m | 126 | IDR 26.0m |
| 2 | 537 | IDR 19.8m | 246 | IDR 40.0m |
| 3 | 169 | IDR 31.5m | 184 | IDR 55.0m |
| 4 | 62 | IDR 40.5m | 24 | IDR 89.0m |

Where renters look, and how much is listed there
A request can name several areas, so these counts add up to more than 1,685. Berawa, Umalas, Cemagi and Tumbak Bayuh are counted separately when the request named them; on Baliestate they sit within Canggu and Pererenan.
Seseh stands out: 300 requests named it, and partner agencies listed 31 rentals there. Ubud was named 278 times against 76 listings, with the lowest stated budgets of the large areas (a median IDR 12.4 million). Seminyak is the reverse: 117 requests and 196 listings, so a renter there has more to choose from.
| Area named | Requests | Median budget a month | Partner rentals listed | Median asking rent a month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canggu | 591 | IDR 18.0m | 765 | IDR 44.0m |
| Pererenan | 355 | IDR 20.3m | 136 | IDR 42.0m |
| Seseh | 300 | IDR 21.2m | 31 | IDR 37.0m |
| Ubud | 278 | IDR 12.4m | 76 | IDR 52.5m |
| Uluwatu | 246 | IDR 18.0m | 167 | IDR 43.5m |
| Seminyak | 117 | IDR 15.0m | 196 | IDR 40.0m |
How to close the gap
Most renters who find something at their budget change one of four things: the term, the place, the size or the kind of building.
- Pay for a year. Yearly leases paid up front are usually cheaper per month than monthly terms; the rental guides on this site put the monthly premium at roughly 10–30%.
- Move one area over. Asking rents in Tabanan and Mengwi were about IDR 30 million a month on 20 October 2026, against IDR 44 million in Canggu, and Kuta’s few priced rentals asked less still.
- Drop a bedroom or the private pool. A 1-bedroom villa asked about two-thirds of a 2-bedroom’s rent.
- Look beyond villas. Guesthouse rooms and houses let by their owners rarely reach agency listings; the housing groups are where they are found.
What a request that gets answered contains
Agencies answer the requests they can match. Of the 1,685, two in three named a number of bedrooms, 1,084 a budget and 980 a move-in date. A request with the area, bedrooms, budget, dates and length of stay in its first line gets offers; one that says only ‘villa in Canggu, DM me’ gets questions.
Baliestate’s WhatsApp assistant asks for exactly those details, then sends listings that fit the budget and can book a viewing, so a realistic number matters there too.
Common questions
How much should I budget to rent a 2-bedroom villa in Canggu?
On 20 October 2026, 2-bedroom villas listed by Baliestate’s partner agencies asked a median IDR 40 million a month across Bali, and Canggu asked a median IDR 44 million across all sizes. Renters in the housing groups asked for a median IDR 19.8 million for a 2-bedroom, which usually means a yearly lease, a house without a pool or a location further from the beach.
Which Bali areas have the most rental demand?
In the month to 19 October 2026, Canggu was named in 591 rental requests, Pererenan in 355, Seseh in 300, Ubud in 278 and Uluwatu in 246, out of 1,685 requests in public Facebook, Telegram and WhatsApp housing groups.
Are these sold or signed rents?
No. Indonesia has no public register of signed leases. The listing figures are asking rents of villas listed by Baliestate’s partner agencies, and the request figures are budgets renters stated in public posts.
