However, the one and two-bedroom bamboo villas here are lovely and they have comfy double beds, sofas, a sun deck, and more.

FAQs
How Much Does A Bamboo House Cost In Bali?
It really depends on where you want to build that house and how big you want it to be.
We found a bamboo house on sale in Ubud in the middle of the jungle on a fairly small plot for just $125,000 USD (roughly $190,000 AUD).
However, the country’s largest builder of bamboo houses quotes prices starting at $1 million for a new bamboo house and they can go up substantially from there.
Bamboo is an eco-friendly material for house construction and there’s no doubt that the end products are attractive and great to live in, but that doesn’t mean that it’s cheap.
In fact, preparing bamboo for use in construction is far more time-consuming than pouring concrete or making bricks and it requires skilled labour, which costs money.
So, if your dream is to live in an amazing bamboo house in Bali, then you might want to start saving for it now.
If you want to rent a bamboo house in Bali, instead, of buying one, you can find one for as little as $200 AUD a night in the off-season, though some of the bamboo houses in Bali are much more expensive to rent than that.
