Sanur provides excellent monthly rental discounts for long stays, typically 30-60% off daily rates via negotiation, Airbnb monthly pricing, or direct owner deals on sites like BaliMoves and BaliVillaHub. 

Typical Discounts

  • Airbnb Monthly Stays: Automatic 20-40% off for 28+ nights on furnished studios/apartments (e.g., AU$700-1,200/month vs. AU$40/night daily); includes WiFi, kitchens, no extra fees.[airbnb.com]​
  • Villa/Guesthouse Owners: 40-50% discounts for 1-3 months (e.g., IDR 40M/month or AU$3,500 for beachside 3BR villas, down from yearly rates); often bundles cleaning, pool maintenance, utilities.balimoves+1
  • Serviced Apartments/Hotels: Prime Plaza Suites offers packages with daily housekeeping, pool/gym access, free WiFi/electricity for monthly payers—up to 50% savings vs. short stays.[spps.pphotels]​

Application Tips

Contact properties directly (e.g., Puri Kesari, Peneeda View from prior lists) or via Balimoves for custom quotes; off-peak (Apr-Oct) yields best deals. Expect AU$800-1,500/month for budget options with these perks.balilongtermrentals+1

To negotiate bigger discounts (40-60% off listed rates) for 3+ month stays in Sanur villas, focus on direct owner contact, market research, and relationship-building tactics tailored to Bali’s flexible rental scene.druganov+2

Preparation Steps

  • Research Comps: Use Airbnb monthly filters, BaliMoves.com, or BaliVillaHub.com to benchmark 3-month rates (e.g., AU$2,000-4,000 total for 1-2BR near beach vs. AU$50/night short-term). Note off-peak timing (now in Feb 2026) boosts leverage.balivillahub+2
  • Target Properties: Prioritize prior-listed spots like Puri Kesari (Jl. Kesari II) or Peneeda View (Jl. Danau Tamblingan)—email/WhatsApp owners via Booking profiles for unpublished long-term deals.[hayleyonholiday]​
  • Gather Leverage: Prepare your dates (e.g., Apr-Jul 2026), budget (e.g., AU$1,000/month), and alternatives (mention 2-3 comps). Offer upfront payment for 3 months to guarantee income.balivillarealty+1

Negotiation Tactics

  • Contact Directly: Skip platforms—message owners via Facebook groups (“Sanur Community” or “Bali Long Term Rentals”) or sites like BaliLongTermRentals.com. Script: “Love your villa for 3 months from [date]. Seen similar at AU$X/month; can we do better with upfront payment and no cleaning fees?”reddit+1
  • Time It Right: Approach mid-week, off-peak (now ideal), or when occupancy is low (check calendars). Aim for 5-15% initial ask, counter to 40-60% total discount (common for 90+ days).druganov+1
  • Sweeten the Deal: Propose paying 3-6 months upfront (saves owners vacancy risk), handling minor maintenance, or extending to 6 months for extra 10-20% off. Bundle utilities/AC inclusion.balivillarealty+1
  • Build Rapport: Visit in-person if local (Adelaide user—easy Bali flight), praise the property, and reference prior guest reviews. Flexible dates/unit size yields better terms.[druganov]​

Expected Outcomes and Pitfalls

  • Realistic Wins: 3 months: 40-50% off (e.g., AU$1,500-2,500 total); 6 months: 50-60%. Includes WiFi, pool care, laundry—confirm in writing.[balivillahub]​
  • Avoid Mistakes: Don’t lowball first (starts at 20-30% ask), ignore utilities (add AU$200-400/month), or book via platforms (fees kill discounts). Follow up politely after 2-3 days.balivillarealty+1
