Short answer: a long-term villa around Uluwatu and the wider Bukit peninsula mostly runs from around IDR 28,000,000 to IDR 90,000,000+ per month (roughly $1,700 to $5,500+), with the quality pool-villa middle sitting around IDR 40,000,000 to 66,000,000. Uluwatu is spread across the Bukit, so prices vary a lot by exact spot: quieter inland pockets like Ungasan sit at the lower end, while clifftop and near-beach villas at Bingin, Balangan, and Pecatu climb well above. It is a more spread-out, car-dependent lifestyle than Canggu, traded for dramatic clifftops and world-class surf. The longer you commit, the lower your monthly rate.
For a live reference point: across our own available Bukit rentals in July 2026, the mid-market pool villa clusters around IDR 43,000,000 to 66,000,000 per month, with quieter inland two-bedrooms below that and clifftop homes running well above. These are market figures, not a quote. The right number for any specific villa is the one on its listing.
If you know you are staying a while, ask for the longer-term rate up front. A rolling monthly stay is the most flexible and the most expensive way to rent. Six-month and yearly agreements are where the value is.
We, and most reputable agencies, deal in stays of 30 days and longer. Nightly and short holiday lets are a different market.
The Bukit is the value-and-upside story among Bali's major areas. On our market intelligence, entry prices here are the lowest of the big investment areas, and properties sell faster than anywhere else on the island, both signs of genuine demand rather than hype. The honest flag is supply: Uluwatu has Bali's heaviest construction pipeline, so buy something genuinely distinctive rather than another identical unit in an oversupplied cluster, and mind that the strong nightly rates do not always translate into the highest yields once you net off costs. Most stock is leasehold, median remaining term around 26 years. The full picture is in our best areas to invest in Bali guide, alongside leasehold vs freehold.
Good long-term villas on the Bukit move fast, and the stock is more scattered than in Canggu, so a local agent who knows which pockets suit you saves real time. Send us a clear brief (dates, budget, bedrooms, how close to the surf you want to be) and we will come back with real, currently available matches, not a stale list.

Most long-term villas around Uluwatu and the Bukit run from about IDR 28,000,000 to IDR 90,000,000+ per month, depending on how close to the coast you are, bedrooms, pool, view, and how long you stay. The quality pool-villa middle sits around IDR 40,000,000 to 66,000,000 per month.
For a comparable villa, quieter inland parts of the Bukit can be, but clifftop and near-beach villas match or beat Canggu prices. The bigger difference is lifestyle: Uluwatu is more spread out and car-dependent, Canggu is more walkable and built-up.
Yes, clearly. Yearly and six-month agreements carry a lower monthly rate than a rolling month-to-month stay.
We handle stays of 30 days and longer. For anything shorter, you are looking at the short-stay holiday market, which works differently.
Realistically yes. The Bukit is spread out and less walkable than Canggu, so most renters here get around by scooter or car.
