Surf’s up in Bali. The summer high season is around the corner and the crowds are starting to pour in. This year, we’re finding it tougher than ever to some across great deals on short-term rentals in Bali on the usual classifieds. Here’s the good news: we’ve discovered AirBnB and there’s some pretty awesome houses at some pretty awesome prices. Once you get through this list, you’ll be ready to round up the gang and set your Bali surfing plans in stone.
Here’s a roundup of the best surf Airbnb villas in Bali we’ve found.
Moments Jimbaran Villa
Let’s begin with the most curious, exquisite villa on the list. Just look at that décor. Stylishly appointed with Javanese antiques and curiosities, this villa is for the surf couples who travel in style. The wives will love the salt-water swimming pool and fully fitted out gourmet kitchen (because we all need a five-burner gas hot plate to heat up takeaways).
Nightly rate: US$600
Minimum stay: 1 night
Sleeps: 8

Fun, Modern, Pop-Art Villa
This funky five-bedroom villa is a spitting distance from Pantai Berawa, the hottest surf spot in Bali. Brightly punctuated with bursts of colourful pop art running throughout the house, it’s a spot on venue for parties relaxed get-togethers. The focal points of this beach house are two indoor and outdoor living rooms, inspired by Ralph Lauren’s home.
Nightly rate: US$500
Minimum stay: 3 nights
Sleeps: 10

Surf Lodge Uluwatu
This independent private duplex is worth checking out. On the grounds of this sprawling two acre property (with amazing views over a killer infinity pool), are four surfy spaces for rent. The hosts seem pretty chill, and they’ll pick you up from the airport for free. That infinity pool is to live for.
Nightly rate: US$97
Minimum stay: 4 nights
Sleeps: 4

Casaviva Bali
Deals on contemporary villas with sweet ocean views don’t get sweeter than this. They’ve even thrown in complimentary airport pickups, breakfast, housekeeping and a few other perks. Hence it’s getting booked out pretty quickly. There’s only a few vacancies left in June and July so get in soon if you want to snag this incredible deal.
Nightly rate: US$289
Minimum stay: 2 nights
Sleeps: 8

Surfers Paradise with Temple Views
Here’s another tasty spot near Berawa Beach, complete with cinema room for chilled movie nights after a day under the sun and a gorgeous pool for not-so-chill party nights. This is one villa you’ll want to invite your mates back to. Fully staffed with cooks and drivers, and close to the new Canggu Club – do you need anything else?
weekly rate: US$1950
Minimum stay: 1 week
Sleeps: 6

Villa Impossible
Looking for a Western style villa with a Balinese twist? No problem, you just have to walk for it. This luxurious villa is dramatically built on a stone cliff, almost cantilevering over the ocean – but the 10-minute walk from the beach might just take your breath away before the stunning view does. We still think it’s worth it (and a great way to get the missus in shape).
Nightly rate: US$540
Minimum stay: 2 nights
Sleeps: 12
