Rental rates for high-quality villas in Bali range currently from about US$240 to US$2,000 per day during the normal season – i.e. about US$100 to US$400 per bedroom or US$50 to US$200 per person – depending on the location of the villa, size, number of bedrooms, amenities and facilities. Don't be fooled if someone tries to make you believe you get any quality villa with reliable staff for a lower price.

Seasons

Mid-July to September as well as the periods over Christmas and New Year, Lunar New Year (in early February) and Easter are considered by most villa owners as High Season. Depending on the villa owner, there is a surcharge of 25% to 50% added to the regular rental rate, and for some villas a minimum rental period of two weeks is required.
