Bali hotels for long stays: where to stay for a month or longer

More and more travellers are coming to Bali not for a week, but for several weeks or even months. Some combine a holiday with remote work, others spend the winter by the ocean or use the island as a starting point for travelling around Southeast Asia.

In such cases, accommodation requirements change: a beautiful pool and a good breakfast are no longer enough. A convenient location, stable internet, a comfortable workspace, developed infrastructure nearby and special rates for long stays become much more important.

In Bali, you can find aparthotels and resorts with Long Stay programmes, as well as luxury resorts offering attractive conditions when booking for several weeks.

How to choose a hotel in Bali for a long stay

Before booking accommodation for a month or longer, it is worth paying attention not only to the cost of the stay. A good hotel for a long-term stay usually offers:

• spacious rooms or apartments;
• stable high-speed Wi-Fi;
• a comfortable place to work;
• laundry or dry-cleaning services;
• a fitness centre or swimming pool;
• a restaurant or kitchenette in the room;
• supermarkets, cafes and transport nearby;
• special Long Stay or Stay Longer rates.

Many international hotel chains offer discounts for bookings of 7, 14 or 30 nights, so it is worth checking current offers before arranging your trip.
