Finding a Bali Villa at Reasonable Rates

Some thoughts on how to locate a decent holiday property on this Indonesian island that will not cost you an absolute fortune.

Popular with tourists from around the world for many years, this delightful island has much to recommend it to travellers in the 21st century that are looking to escape the rat race for a couple of weeks and sip cocktails by a pool under the tropical sun. Home to many excellent hotels and numerous private villas, finding accommodation is not a problem if money is no object but locating the right property at the right price can be considerably more difficult.

Most people go online to research holiday destinations these days and to look at the various deals that travel agents are offering as it is the quickest way to compare prices. When looking for Balinese vacation properties there is no reason to suppose that things are any different so the best place to start is right here on the Internet. In addition to the many websites run by agents there are numerous sites that have been put up by private owners and these can often be worth checking out. A Bali villa with its own pool, tropical gardens and service staff is unlikely to be cheap but it is worth shopping around as prices vary quite widely.

As with most places around the world, the cost of renting a holiday home on this island varies according to the time of year. Peak season prices can be much higher than those in the off season, so if money is an issue it might be worth thinking about travelling when there are less tourists around. This will usually mean holidaying when schools are open so parents with young children may find it difficult to take advantage of the cheapest prices available. However, there are often good deals on offer during the rainy season so if you do not mind getting wet every now and then you could still save a great deal of money.

An alternative to finding a property on the Internet is to book a hotel room on the island for your first visit and explore the surrounding area during your holiday. Although there is no guarantee that you will meet the right people it is possible that you could come across a villa owner who is happy to negotiate a special deal face to face.
