Canggu villa rental — monthly homes for remote workers

Canggu is Bali's main long-stay hub for Australians and remote workers: beach clubs, co-working and a deep villa market. This page is for monthly and yearly Canggu rentals — filter by bedrooms and budget, then open Berawa, Pererenan or Batu Bolong if you want a tighter neighbourhood.

Canggu villa rental guide

Batu Bolong is walkable and noisy; Berawa and Padonan are more residential; Pererenan is the rice-field overflow. A 2-bedroom monthly villa with a pool is the default ask — yearly leases in the same stock usually drop the effective monthly rate if you can commit 12 months.

Read the Bingin and Ubud guides on this site if you are still choosing a region. Canggu wins for services; it loses for quiet and for traffic on the main road at school pick-up.
