The real monthly cost of living in Canggu in 2026

Ask five people what it costs to live in Canggu and you'll get five confident, completely different answers. That's because the range is genuinely wide: we know people living well on 25 million rupiah a month and people spending four times that. Here's an honest breakdown of where the money actually goes, based on what we see across our tenants. Dollar and euro amounts are rounded and move with the exchange rate — treat them as a guide.

Rent: the biggest variable

Long-term villa rent along the corridor runs roughly from 20 million per month (≈ $1,250 / €1,150) for a compact one-bedroom to 65 million and up (≈ $4,000 / €3,700) for a three-bedroom designer villa. Monthly rates are higher than yearly rates for the same villa — committing for a year typically saves 15 to 25 percent. A realistic mid-point for a quality two-bedroom with a pool in 2026: 40 to 50 million per month (≈ $2,450–3,100 / €2,250–2,850).

Watch the second line of your housing budget: electricity. It's billed on usage and almost never included. With air conditioning running through the day, expect 1.5 to 3 million per month (≈ $90–185 / €85–170) for a two-bedroom. Cleaning, pool, and internet are often included in the rent — check your lease.

Food: from warung to brunch

This is where lifestyle decides everything. Cooking at home and eating at local warungs, a single person spends 3 to 5 million a month (≈ $185–310 / €170–285). Mixing in the café scene — and Canggu's café scene is genuinely good — pushes that to 8 to 12 million (≈ $490–740 / €455–680). A smoothie bowl and flat white runs around 120k (≈ $7.50 / €7); a warung lunch around 45k (≈ $3 / €2.50). Most long-termers land somewhere in the middle and drift toward warungs over time.

Transport

A scooter is the default: 800k to 1.2 million per month (≈ $50–75 / €45–70) to rent, plus maybe 200k (≈ $12 / €11) in fuel. If you'd rather not ride yourself, Grab and Gojek work well here — a short hop across town costs 15–30k (≈ $1–2), but as your main way around it adds up to 2 to 4 million a month (≈ $125–250 / €115–230). Most people rent the scooter and order a Grab car for airport runs and rainy nights.

Working: WiFi and coworking

Villa WiFi in our collection is fibre and handles video calls fine, so a coworking membership is optional rather than required. If you want one for the structure or the people: 1.5 to 2.5 million per month (≈ $90–155 / €85–140) for unlimited access at the established spots. Day passes run around 150–250k (≈ $9–15 / €8.50–14).

Sports: gym, padel, surf

Canggu takes its sports seriously. A gym membership runs 600k to 3.5 million per month (≈ $37–215 / €34–200) depending on how fancy you go. Padel has exploded along the corridor — court rental is around 600k per hour (≈ $37 / €34), split between four players. And surf is the cheapest habit here: board rental from 50k (≈ $3), or around 500k (≈ $30 / €28) for a private lesson. Budget 1 to 3 million a month (≈ $60–185 / €55–170) if you're active a few times a week.

The rest

A local phone plan is about 150k (≈ $9 / €8.50) per month. Visa costs vary by type, but for most people on renewable visas they average out to 1 to 2 million per month (≈ $60–125 / €55–115).

Three honest monthly totals

Careful: a one-bedroom further from the beach, warung food, scooter, no coworking — around 30 to 35 million all-in (≈ $1,850–2,150 / €1,700–2,000).

Comfortable: a two-bedroom with a pool, café life a few times a week, gym and a padel night, coworking — 55 to 70 million (≈ $3,400–4,300 / €3,150–4,000).

Spacious: a three-bedroom designer villa, eating out freely, coworking, regular trips around the island — 90 million and up (≈ $5,500+ / €5,100+).

The mistake first-timers make isn't underestimating any single cost — it's forgetting electricity, visas, and transport, which together quietly add 3 to 7 million (≈ $185–430 / €170–400) to whatever you budgeted.
