How much does it cost to buy a villa in Babakan?

By Balibound Realty · Updated 2026-07-28

Short answer: the median asking price for a villa in Babakan is around $321,000, working out to roughly $1,945 per square metre for a typical 170 sqm build, though median sold prices sit meaningfully lower, around $259,000. Babakan is a quieter, rice-field-fringed pocket of the greater Canggu area, tucked away from the main strip while still within easy reach of it, part of the same inland corridor as Tibubeneng and Umalas.

What drives the price in Babakan

How fast Babakan sells

On our market intelligence, Babakan villas average around 361 days on the market, with a clearance rate around 56%, a reasonably healthy clearance rate for an area this far inland.

Is Babakan worth buying into?

Babakan suits a buyer who wants genuine proximity to Canggu without paying Canggu, Berawa, or Batu Bolong's beachfront premium, in exchange for a longer ride to the sand. It's a quieter, more residential setting than the busier parts of the corridor. See our best areas to invest in Bali guide for how the wider Canggu corridor compares.
