Black-Sand Shores and Surf Breaks along Gianyar’s Coast
The East Coast runs through Gianyar Regency, where the sand is dark and volcanic. Saba Beach has a black-sand shoreline, Keramas Beach, a surfing spot, lies along the coast between Ketewel and Saba, and Ketewel sits within reach of Sanur. Ubud’s cultural attractions are also accessible from here, so a year on this coast keeps both the sea and the arts centre close.
Reading a Yearly Rental Agreement before You Sign
A yearly rental agreement sets out the rental term, the permitted use of the villa, and who looks after what. The tenant normally pays the rent and utilities and handles day-to-day upkeep, while the owner keeps the villa habitable and handles major maintenance. The agreement also states the conditions for ending the rental early or for a breach of contract, so both sides know where they stand before the first month begins.
What a Year on the East Coast Costs
Yearly villa rentals along the East Coast sit at roughly IDR 450 million to IDR 800 million per year. Three-bedroom villas in Saba, including newly built ones, come to about IDR 450 million per year. Seven-bedroom villas with ocean views within walking distance of the beach in Ketewel cost more, at about IDR 800 million per year.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you pay a yearly villa rent upfront in Bali?
Not always. The rental agreement sets the payment schedule, which can be monthly, quarterly or annual. A security deposit of one or two months’ rent is usual.
What visa do you need to rent a villa in Bali for a year?
A tourist visa on arrival allows up to 60 days with one extension, so a year-long stay needs a long-stay permit. The options include the Remote Worker visa (E33G), valid for one year with a requirement of USD 60,000 in annual foreign income, the Retirement KITAS, granted one year at a time from age 55 with a sponsor, and the Second Home Visa, which gives five years against a property or bank deposit of around IDR 2 billion. Requirements change, so an immigration consultant should confirm the current rules before a contract is signed.
What happens during Nyepi if you live in a rented villa?
Nyepi is Bali’s Day of Silence, a 24-hour period from 6:00 AM to 6:00 AM. Everyone stays on the property, tenants included. There is no travel, work, entertainment or fire, lights are kept off or very dim, and noise stays low. Ngurah Rai Airport closes for the full day, and internet and mobile service may be restricted. Local security officers called pecalang enforce the rules. Hospitals stay open for emergencies, and it helps to buy food and water the day before.
Can you drive in Bali with your home driving licence?
A national licence alone is not enough. Indonesian law requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit (IDP), issued by their home country before they travel. A permit under the 1949 convention lasts up to one year and one under the 1968 convention up to three years, so tenants staying a full year often move to an Indonesian licence (SIM C for motorbikes and SIM A for cars). A car licence does not legally cover a motorbike. A printed copy of the permit is recommended.
How long does it take to get from Saba and Ketewel to Ubud?
From Ketewel, the Ubud area is about 25 minutes by car and the centre of Ubud about 45 minutes. Sanur and Denpasar are also within convenient reach of Ketewel. Saba lies further east along the same coast, beyond Keramas Beach.
