Bali (Canggu) Cost of Living: Overview
What it costs to live and work remotely from Bali (Canggu), broken down by category.
Canggu has become the highest-cost of the well-known Southeast Asian nomad hubs, largely because of how much international demand has driven up villa rentals and coworking membership prices over the past several years. It still generally runs below Western costs, but nomads who visited years ago are often surprised by current pricing.
- Villa or 1BR, Canggu area — $800-1,500/month, consistent across multiple current listings; Canggu specifically runs toward the higher end of Bali's overall rental range, given it's the island's densest nomad hub
- Coworking, monthly — roughly $45-210/month depending on the space and plan, from limited-hours budget passes up to unlimited access at premium spots
- Scooter rental, monthly — $93-150/month for a modern scooter with proper insurance; budget for a cash deposit rather than leaving your passport as collateral, a common scam
- Eating out, per meal — $2-4 for a local warung meal, considerably more at Canggu's many Western-style cafes and restaurants
