Cost of Living in Bali 2025: A Guide for Long Term Renters
The cost of living in Bali is often lower than in Western countries, but it depends on your lifestyle and relocation.
Renting a villa long-term can range from affordable to luxury, and daily expenses like food, transport, and utilities are flexible too. Local markets and warungs (small restaurants) are very budget-friendly, while imported goods and fine dining can add up quickly.
For most expats, Bali offers an excellent balance of cost and quality of life — fresh tropical food, great weather, and an active social scene, all at a fraction of what you’d spend back home.
