How Much Does a Bali Trip Cost? (Prices for 2024/2025)

When considering a Bali trip, you may want to know how much it would cost. Is it expensive?

Here is a breakdown of how much it costs for flights, hotels, transportation, sightseeing, food, and activities.

Is Bali Expensive?

Typical Costs for 1 Day, 1 Week, and 1 Month
Cost of International Flights to Bali
Cost of Eating and Drinking
The Cost of Transportation
Cost of Attractions/Activities
Tips for Saving Money

Bali is not an expensive destination compared to other vacation spots in Southeast Asia .

A private customized tour of the main attractions/activities in the south costs around US$120/person/day (2–4 people)*
A private volcano and hot spring tour or a rainforest discovery tour costs around US$200/person/day (2–4 people)*

* Private guide, car, and driver, attraction tickets, activities, and lunch included

It is a cost-effective island for a tour partly because most of the best beaches, surfing beaches, scenic terraced rice fields, and sightseeing landmarks are in the central and eastern parts of the island within about an hour from the airport and main hotel locations by private vehicle at times of low traffic, so transportation costs and trip lengths are kept low.

Some of the best snorkeling/diving areas are also within this 1-hour driving radius . Some others of the best beaches, diving areas, terraced fields and waterfalls/sightseeing/hiking areas are in the northern and eastern parts of Bali within an hour and half to two hours travel time from the airport.

Moreover, Bali can suit all kinds of budgets, from economical to luxury . However, Bali is an expat enclave and has heavy tourism. So, this drives the prices up, but in the off season (November to March except during the major holidays), you can get better prices.

With Asia Highlights , you enjoy 100% refund of any payments made to China Highlights prior to 3 weeks before departure ( detail⇒ ).

Typical Costs for 1 Week in Bali

Prices are going up, but Bali remains very good value compared to Western countries.

For a comfortable private tour (2–4 people) : About 160–220 USD per day per person is typical with private guide, 4- or 5-star hotels, nice meals, and private transfers included. For this standard of vacation in the US, the average price is 500+ USD.

The typical cost for a person for a week in Bali is from 1,000 USD.

For more on planning a week's holiday, see How to Plan a Trip to Bali .

Comparison with Thailand

Similar to Bali, Thailand is also affordable for all budget levels. 2–3 plane journeys are generally needed for a classic Thailand tour from north to south (Chiang Mai, Bangkok, and Phuket or Koh Samui), which makes traveling in Thailand slightly costlier than in Bali by 20–30 USD per person per day. A 10-Day Private Classic Thailand Tour costs around 2,000 USD per person.

The Cost of International Flights to Bali

The only international airport in Bali is Denpasar International Airport (DPS). The cheapest months to visit are October to March (rainy season). Airline prices from the middle of December to early January are high for the Christmas and New Year season. The most expensive months are from April to September, especially the Easter vacation period and summer holiday season (June to August).

Airline Ticket Prices from Major Cities to Bali (round trip):

New York , United States: From 1,500 USD . Flying to Bali from New York requires at least one stopover.
Sydney , Australia: From 800 USD. Flying out of Sydney can be non-stop.
London , England: From 900 USD. Flying out of London requires at least one stop.

Cost of Accommodations in Bali

Here are the approximate costs for a standard 2-person room in Bali for 2024. This is for reference only (prices fluctuate quickly due to various uncertainties related to changes in the epidemic situation):

* Low season : November to March except for around Christmas and New Year

* High season : April to September, Christmas and New Year season

During the busy months/weeks, we recommend you plan and book your accommodations well in advance.

Hotels are included in our itineraries and we can generally secure favorable prices. We recommend suitable hotels based on your budget, preferred location, room specification (e.g. no-smoking), and other requirements. Feel free to contact us .

The Cost of Eating and Drinking in Bali

Budget : A meal in a cheap local-style restaurant can be as low as 25,000 IDR (1.70 USD or 1.70 EUR).
Mid-range : A mid-range restaurant meal for two people with three courses costs about 21 USD or 21 EUR.

For our recommendations for food to try in Bali, tips on staying healthy, and some phrases to use in restaurants, see The 10 Best Bali Foods and Dishes You Absolutely Have to Try .

The Cost of Transportation in Bali

Taxi: The price of a taxi in Bali depends on several factors. The taxi starting price is about 0.47 USD (7,000 IDR). For each additional 1 km you have to pay about 0.50 USD (7,500 IDR).

Traveling around Bali is usually by taxi or private transfer. It generally takes no more than 2 hours of driving from Ubud in central Bali to the most southerly beaches.

Public buses and scoooter/bike hire are obviously a lot less efficient, convenient, and comfortable. While you could save most of your transport costs, it would mean less time at the attractions and hence less value-for-money on your tour time, so we don't recommend them generally.

The Cost of Attractions/Activities in Bali

Beaches : Public beaches are free, but you may need to pay to enter a private beach. See Best Beaches in Bali: How to Choose the Right One for Your Trip .

Rice terraces : The less popular rice terraces are generally free to visit. The most popular ones such as Jatiluwih and Tegallalang have entrance fees of about 4 or 5 dollars for tourists. The ticket sales help locls to cultivate the land and build concrete paths for better access to the rice fields. See The Top Bali Rice Terraces: Which to Visit .

Tips for Saving Money in Bali

Traveling during shoulder/low season (November to March helps to reduce airfare and touring costs substantially.
Use bicycle/scooter hire. Take the public buses. Share taxi rides with others.
The biggest tourist areas around Denpasar, on the southern and southeastern coasts, and around Ubud are the most expensive touring areas. For lower prices, you can go to the north coast, and the least expensive and least touristy area is western Bali.
Eat at small, local, inexpensive restaurants called warungs for authentic and cheap Balinese food.
Shop at fresh food markets for fruits and vegetables instead of supermarkets.

Jessie was amazing ! Everything from her level of English to her understanding of what we valued .

We had a good time exploring the city with Selinda!

Our guide lele is a wealth of information, Lele is very professional and very attentive to our needs. Lele is amazing. Lele got everything spot on. It probably helps that Guilin is a brilliant place to visit so Lele has great material to work with but that doesn't take anything away from how much Lele helped make it a great trip.

Our guide for Beijing was super knowledgeable and experienced and able to help us to achieve as much as we wanted within the time given. We had a fun time guided by him as he is also super humorous and you can see how he interacts with the vendors and people whom he comes by. Thank you for a very enjoyable time in Beijing and accommodating to all our needs!

Our China Highlight guide. Michael, was attentive, thoughtful and knowledgeable. He narrated many interesting historical events about Chengdu while touring around the city and having afternoon tea with us. He was thoughtful to provide us with snacks during long hikes at Leshan or walks around the city.

She was very flexible and added extra time when we needed it and we felt extremely well taken care of. She also chose the best restaurants for us,

Our tour guide Helen, was excellent, she was very kind, professional and passionate for her work and she also loves Pandas! She will take you to take the best panda photos and to know more about Chengdu city. Our tour was great, she took us to all our destinations always with the best spots: Temples, pagodas, famous streets, theaters, pandas...you name it! Everything was great.

He picked up our pre-booked boat/other excursions tickets so we were able to avoid all the long lines and chaos. He is knowledgeable of the places we visited, courteous, fun to travel with and well-versed in Chinese classics.

Tom is the guide that will take you to where no other guide will. We pushed for the experience and Tom and the team delivered more than what we could have ever asked for. His English speaking ability and his Chinese history knowledge is second to none.

How Much Is a Trip To Bali? (Full Breakdown 2023)

Table of Contents

If you’ve been daydreaming about a trip to Bali, you’re not alone.

This Indonesian paradise island is a hugely popular destination for travelers from all over the world. But how much does it really cost to take a trip to Bali?

In this blog post, we’ll give you a realistic estimate of what you can expect to spend on a trip to Bali.

How Much Does It Cost to Go To Bali?

The average cost of a trip to Bali is around $3000 USD for two people for two weeks. This budget includes flights, accommodation, food, activities, and transport within Bali.

Of course, this is just an estimate and your actual costs may be higher or lower depending on your specific travel plans.

Listed below are some of the things that will affect the cost of your trip.

The 3 Top Things to Do in Bali

How Much Are Flights to Bali?

If you’re flying from the United States, you can expect to spend around $1,500 on return airfare. That number will vary depending on your departure city and the airlines you choose, but $1,500 is a good average.

For example, flights from New York tend to be more expensive than flights from Los Angeles. And if you’re looking to travel during peak season (generally June through August), you can expect to pay even more.

If you’re flexible with your travel dates, try to book your flights well in advance—you may be able to snag a cheaper seat.

If you’re flying from Europe or Australia, your airfare will be cheaper depending on your route and layovers.

For example, return flights from London to Bali start at around $700 , but can go up to $1500+ if you’re looking for a more direct route.

How Much is Accommodation in Bali?

There are accommodation options for every budget in Bali.

For example, hostels start at around $15 USD per night while luxury hotels can cost upwards of $300 USD per night. There are also plenty of mid-range and budget hotels starting at $20-50 per night.

Airbnbs are a popular option and prices start at around $50 USD per night.

The standard of accommodation you can get for under $100 a night is truly incredible, so in our opinion, there is no need to spend the big bucks.

If you’re traveling on a tight budget, we recommend staying in hostels or Airbnbs so that you can save money on accommodation and use that extra cash to do more activities or try more local food!

How Much is Food in Bali?

Eating out in Bali is relatively inexpensive.

The cost of food in Bali definitely depends on where you eat.

Street food is incredibly cheap (you can get a meal for as little as $1 USD!) while sit-down restaurants tend to be more expensive (a meal for two with drinks can easily cost $30 USD or more).

Our advice is to try as much street food as possible—it’s delicious and one of the best ways to experience Balinese culture!

You can also try a Balinese cooking class to get a real understanding of the local flavors.

How Much is Beer in Bali?

You’ll be pleased to know that beer is also relatively cheap in Bali.

A small bottle of Bintang, the Indonesian beer, will be around 30,000 IDR in a restaurant, which is roughly $2.

The larger bottle of Bintang, for the heavyweights among us, will usually set you back 55,000 IDR, or roughly $3.50.

Of course, don’t forget to factor in the cost of cocktails!

A cocktail at a bar or nightclub will set you back around $8-$10 on average.

How Much Are Activities in Bali?

There are plenty of activities to keep you busy during your trip to Bali.

Many of them are free, like spending time at the beach, exploring the ricefields around Ubud or going on some of the island’s scenic hikes.

Most sights that require an entrance fee, for example the Ubud Monkey Forest , are relatively inexpensive – you will not spend more than $10 USD for an entry ticket.

If you want to do something more unique like the ATVs around Mount Batur , or try scuba diving in Bali , be prepared to spend around $50-$100 per day for each activity.

How Much Is Transport in Bali?

Getting around Bali is relatively cheap and easy – the most popular way to get around is by scooter which you can rent for as little as $5 USD per day.

You can also take public buses which only cost a few dollars per journey or hire a private driver for about $50 USD per day.

Grab and Gojek are also great apps for shorter distances, and they work exactly the same as Uber. Just be careful, as sometimes the drivers will not be able to pick you up in certain areas (close to the tourist beaches, for example).

How Much to Tip in Bali?

Tipping is generally not expected in Bali.

However, if you feel that the service you have been offered is worthy of a tip, then please feel free to add 10-15%.

A lot of the restaurants in the more touristy spots, such as Canggu or Seminyak, will already include a service charge in the bill – so make sure to check if you don’t wish to tip twice.

How Much to Budget For Two Weeks in Bali?

On top of flights, if you budget around $100 per day for your trip to Bali it would be more than enough.

This amount would enable you to stay in a mid-range hotel, eat out for every meal and enjoy some of the island’s best activities.

Therefore, $1500 per person (plus flights) would be plenty for two weeks in Bali.

Bali Budget Breakdown

Accommodation: Budget hotels can be found for as little as $10 per night, while a room in a midrange hotel or resort will be $30-$50 per night. Luxury hotels can be upwards of $300.

Food: Local food is very affordable, with meals costing as little as $2-$3. Western food is more expensive, with main courses starting at around $10.

Transport: A taxi from the airport to Ubud, for example, will cost around $40. A day of sightseeing using taxis and private drivers can easily come to $100+.

Activities: You could pay anything from $10 to $50 per activity, depending on what you’re doing. Most days it will be the lower end of that scale.

As you can see from this breakdown, a trip to Bali doesn’t have to be outrageously expensive – you can definitely visit on a tight budget if you’re careful with your spending!

There are plenty of ways to save money without sacrificing quality or experiences either.

Traveler & Content Creator

My name is Jordan Simons and over the past few years I've learned how to travel the world continuously. Now I want to show you how to do the same.

You might want to update that budget a bit. I’m flying there in April and it cost me $2962.24 (to be exact). This is from Boise ID, USA, standard fair. That alone blows your budget. Thanks for all the information though. I’m looking forward to the trip.

Yes, please update your budget. Economy class is $2,000 from Phoenix to Bali in September. I opted for Premium Economy, not an extravagant upgrade but for the length of the flight – it will definitely be more comfortable. This pushed the ticket to $3,400.

I’m not sure what websites are you guys using to book tickets but mine was $695 The itinerary is LA- Tokyo- Seoul- Manila- Puerto princesa (for el Nido) -back to Manila- Bali and leaving in 2 weeks.

Wow where did you book?

Yeah sorta same thread as above – are you sure this cost breakdown includes flights because it doesn’t seem accurate

I’ll chime in. Cheapest airfares from NY are $1752. Rest of costs have to be at least another $1000 for 2 weeks WITH activities .

I plan to take my husband to Bali in December of 2025 to celebrate his retirement! Ive priced an Airbnb for 15 days which is super affordable and contacted the host for info on how to lock the price in. We plan to take 2 additonal couples with us which fares out to about $1425.00 per couple. After pricing flights for 2, the cheapest was $1500 for economy but will more than likely have to upgrade as my husband is 6’6! I am so hoping that I can make this trip a reality (the current economy has me on edge).

How to Reach

Air travel is the best way to reach Bali from India. While booking holiday tour packages to Bali, you can make prior transport reservations, e.g. - from the airport to the hotel.

Official Language

The official language of Indonesia is Balinese which is a Malayo-Polynesian language. However, English is the common language used for Bali tourism. You can book a tourist guide in your Bali tour package who can speak French, German, Japanese, Korean, Chinese or German.

Bali Tourist Places

Bali tourism offers a wide range of places for all kinds of travel enthusiasts. Here are some of the most prominent Bali tourist places that you must check out:

Pura Tanah Lot Temple

Sitting 20 km away from Kuta, the Tanah Lot Temple is a seaside spectacle that is a site of great reverence for the people of Bali. Perched on an offshore rock, it’s a fabulous place to witness a beautiful sunset. Take a walk near the temple area at low tide and soak in the magnificent setting. Later, you can sample the civet coffee at some of the rock cafes. It is recommended to don a sarong, sash plus respectful attire when coming here. After visiting it, you will also say that Tanah Lot Temple is a gem of Bali tourism.

Mount Batur

If you love adventure, then you must include Mt. Batur in your holidays. Mt. Batur is a sacred active volcano in the Kintamani district, about an hour’s drive away from Ubud. At sunrise, many visitors trek the 1,700-metre summit of Mt. Batur to watch the sunrise above the mist-shrouded mountains. The hike can take two to three hours and stands along a well-marked trail. Guided tours are also available with an omelette breakfast, cooked from the volcanic steam. Sturdy hiking shoes are recommended along with two layers before sunrise to beat the cold. When here, you can visit the rustic village of Toya Bungkah located at the banks of Lake Batur.

’Happening’ is one word to define this sandy Bali tourist place! Take a walk along Kuta’s sandy shore that is super close to the Seminyak and the Legian beaches. Soak up the sunset views, take surf lessons, or eat at the aplenty cafes that line the beach. Simply lounge on rented sun loungers, read a book or snap memorable pictures. Do try the cold coconut slush with juice on a sultry day here. You can also explore the Nusa Islands to experience slower-paced life with Bali tourism.

Pura Ulun Danu Bratan

Located on a tiny island near the western shore of Lake Bratan, sits the 17th century-old Pura Ulun Danu Bratan. It’s important for Bali tourism due to many reasons. The thatched temple reflects on the lake’s surface and is best seen in the soft morning light. When here, do see the Bali Botanic Garden and the Bali Treetop Adventure Park which is a fun place for kids. So when you book your Bali tour package, make sure to add this one for a beautiful time.

Use Local Transportation : Instead of taking taxis or hiring a private car, use local transportation like buses or motorbikes. They are much cheaper and can be a fun way to explore Bali.
Eat at Local Warungs : Bali has a lot of local eateries known as warungs that serve traditional Indonesian dishes at affordable prices. Eating at these places can help you save money while enjoying the local cuisine.
Bargain While Shopping : Bali is famous for its street markets where you can find great bargains on souvenirs and clothing. However, don't be afraid to bargain with the vendors to get a better deal.
Choose Free Activities : Bali offers a lot of free activities, such as visiting temples, watching traditional dance performances, and exploring beaches. Take advantage of these opportunities to save money on your trip.
Stay Hydrated with Refillable Water Bottles : Bali's weather can be hot and humid, and buying bottled water can add up quickly. Instead, bring a refillable water bottle and fill it up at your hotel or in local shops to save money and reduce plastic waste.

Costs when Traveling on a Budget & Backpacking

Accommodation prices – traveling on a budget & backpacking in bali (average usd 10-25 per night).

For as little as US$10-15 you may get a room at a guest house, homestay, Losmen, or tiny hotel with no stars. It is possible to find even cheaper lodgings with bunk beds. If you’d like a private room with a bathroom and air conditioning, though, you may locate a good hotel for less than US$20 a night. Young backpackers and budget travelers still flock to Bali, and they tend to head to the southern areas (Kuta, Bukit, and Canggu) and in the east (Padangbai) because of the abundance of cheap hotels and eateries there.

In general, a backpacker should be able to get by for USD$35 a day , which covers bare-bones lodging, three meals at US$3 each, and a few drinks. You may rent a scooter for around US$4 per day. However, the cost of alcoholic beverages and social gatherings would quickly deplete any such funds.

Don’t expect to be able to rent a villa for these prices.

Rooms are usually priced per room and not per person, unless you choose a dorm or bunk-bed.

Food & Drinks Budget & Backpacking (Average USD 1-3 per meal)

All across Bali, you’ll find traditional warungs (small eateries), ocal restaurants, often displaying the food where you can choose a selection of different meat, fish and vegetable dishes. It’s good, and it’s also very fresh.

The street food carts (kaki lima) are serving amazing food. such as the famous Soto, meat ball soup, Nasi Goreng,, Martabak, Fried Fish, and of course Sate.

The sanitation standards might not be always “up to par”. But in general one can say, that food is fresh, particularly if you choose vendors that you see are busy. It’s simple to see whether the food, is up to your standards since they’re all out in the open.

This is also where the majority of the locals go to eat during their lunch periods and after work. All Indonesians, including the Balinese, have an insatiable appetite. They like spending time together eating at nice restaurants.

You can get a softdrink at these places for USD 0.6 to 1. Fresh coconot should be USD 1 to 1.5.

Costs when Traveling on a “mid-range” budget

Mid-range accommodation prices – (average usd 30-60 per night per room).

The vast majority of Bali’s hotels are moderately priced 3-star establishments . Traditionally, these hotels have been on the smaller side and run by families. Meanwhile, up to 100-room hotels from major chains like Swissbel and Accor and local brands like Grandmas and Aston are entering the market. As more domestic and Chinese visitors come, these businesses will thrive and expand.

These hotels have been thoroughly inspected for cleanliness and comfort, and they often provide a good breakfast at a low price. Most of them are located somewhat farther from the shore, making the use of a scooter or a lengthy walk to the beach necessary.

Depending on the location, you might get a small private villa for that price, particularly if you share a 2 or 3 bedroom villa with more people. The paying 40-60USD per room is enough to get a nice place already.

Mid-Range (Average USD 3-7 per meal)

In this category, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of eateries across Bali. The majority of visitors as well as an increasing number of middle class Balinese eat there. These locations might also even be locally run”warung” but a little bit more geared to serve also foreigners and cost a little bit more, than the warung, that are mostly frequented by the local population.

But there are plenty of restaurants that offer you a decent meal at that price level,

Middle-range restaurants may be slightly more costly in tourist hot spots such as Canggu and Seminyak for example. Additionally, the costs in the hotel’s restaurants are generally 50–100% higher than stand-alone restaurants in the neighborhood.

Costs for Affordable Luxury Traveling in Bali

Accommodation cost – affordable luxury (average usd 70-150 per night).

Depending on the location and proximity to the beach, this category ranges from three up to even five stars. Since also these hotels often provide different room categories, you could get very different experiences and pay different prices in the same hotel. This segment is often booked by families and individual travelers (single, couples and groups) who have grown out of their backpacker phase.

Expect well-appointed rooms, at least one restaurant, pool, nice gardens, good location, excellent service, tasty breakfast, and spacious rooms.

At that price range, when you travel with 4 or more people, you can get already very nice serviced villas & vacation rentals with private pools.

Affordable Luxury in restaurants (Average USD 10–25 per meal)

Numerous restaurants in this category are found in 4 to even 5 star resorts and hotels. They mostly serve also cocktails and have a more extensive wine lists.

Imported Alcohol is generally quite expensive because of import taxes. But a decent glass of French or Italian wine might cost you USD 6 – 10.

Costs for Luxury & Ultra Luxury Traveling in Bali

Accommodation cost: luxury & high-end (average usd 150-350 per night – the sky is the limit in certain ultra luxury and villa resorts).

One of a kind, unmatched excellence. When compared to other popular tourist destinations, Bali’s luxury offerings are surprisingly affordable. It’s no exaggeration to say that Bali is home to some of the top hotels in Asia, if not the world. The island’s warm friendliness permeates every aspect of the service, and the island’s artistic and cultural traditions inform the design of the accommodations.

Bali is home to facilities from some of the most prestigious hotel groups in the world, and these establishments do not disappoint in terms of beauty or quality. Balinese and regional firms have built and overseen a number of world-class hotels and resorts.

More helpful information and price ranges to plan your Bali Holiday

Cost of drinks & alcohol in bali.

Water and soft drinks are inexpensive. Beer and juices are acceptable. Wine and liquor may be rather pricey (due to local taxes). Green juices and smoothies are becoming a little more pricey. Soft drink costs at regular restaurants aren’t all that much more than they are in convenience stores. However, many hotels with stars still mark up significantly. In a convenience store, a 1.5-liter bottle of water will run you about 50 cents.

Generally speaking, imported beers are always much more expensive than domestic beers like Corona or San Miguel beer versus Bintang beer.

Average price at a bar or restaurant, *excluding hotels:

Soft Drinks such as coke, sprite (Average US75¢-$1 per bottle)
Beer (Average US$2-4 per bottle)
Local wine (Average US$3-5 per glass)
Imported wine (Average US$5-10 per glass)
Cocktails (Average US$5-10 per glass)
Spirits (Average US$4-10 per glass)
Expensive Imported Whiskeys, Tequilas, Vodkas, Cognacs etc can cost up to USD 30 per drink

Transportation Cost in Bali

Depending on where you stay and how far you need to travel to get to the beach, shops or restaurants, the transportation costs per day can, of course, vary quite a bit. Choosing the location for your accommodation and therefore the method of transportation should be your main concern when planning your holiday since Bali is not very “pedestrian-friendly” due to lack of sidewalks, the heat and far distances.

Bicycle Rental (Average US$2-4 per day)

Not very common but a good way to get around in Ubud, Canggu and the more remote areas

Scooter/ Motorbikes Rental (Average US$ 5-7 per day)

Rent a scooter including helmet per day. Countless rental places all over Bali. Usually, without any insurance!

Premium and properly serviced Scooters/ Motorbikes (Average US$ 10-25 per day)

Special scooter with a bigger seat and large compartment to keep your belongings safe. Lexi, NMax, PCX, or Vespa with insurance, well maintained with drop and pick-up service to your hotel.

Best and most reliable Scooter Rental Service in Bali

Scooter Taxi/ Ojek (Average US$ 3-5/ trip) ( not via apps)

Managed by the local community, these guys hang around mostly during evenings and night near the pubs and clubs since many areas ban the app-driven transportation services like Go-Jek, Grab, Uber, etc. You can recognize them wearing a west with a number on it (some of them don’t). You would have to bargain with them, but they usually charge something between per trip if it’s not too far.

App driven scooter taxis (Average US$1-3 per trip) are significantly cheaper. Most visitors use those services twice a day

APPS: GOJEK & GRAB

Hiring a car with driver half and full day (Average US$20-60)

It is the most convenient way if you wish to explore the island and go for day trips. 8-10 hours rental, including gasoline and driver, will cost you anything between US$40-60, depending on the condition of the car. The driver is registered, pays insurance and taxes etc.

Rent your Car with Driver here online

Taxi cars (Average ca. US$5-10 per trip, 20-30 minutes)

The cars that are managed by the local communities (you can’t miss them, since they continuously say “transport, transport”) charge roughly twice what the standard taxi and app-driven services would charge. Bluebird, Grabcar, Go-car (from Go-Jek app) are not expensive. An average trip from Seminyak to Kuta would cost you roughly USD seven if you use those taxi services.

Good to know when renting a hotel room in Bali

Usually in Bali, you pay for the hotel room and not per person. Single rooms rarely exist. Therefore traveling as a couple costs almost as much as traveling solo, excluding the breakfast of course. Expect to pay during mid and low season 30%-50% less for rooms and villas than during high season (Easter Holidays, July until mid September, Christmas and New Years, Chinese New Years and end of Ramadan – Idul Fitri).

One of the most important determinants of hotel and resort prices is location. In Bali, it is common for businesses (particularly accommodation and restaurants) to add up to 22% (11% VAT and 5-11% service charge) to the bill. Because wages in Indonesia are relatively low, service charges are usually distributed equally among staff members. Make sue the hotel and villas quote you the price including all extra fees.

Costs for Private Villas in Bali

In Bali, the private villa market has expanded dramatically in the last five years. Hundreds of properties have appeared on the market; some are run professionally, while others are not. These properties come in all sizes and shapes, and the most important factor is location.

The main difference between staying in a hotel and staying in a villa is that you can get villas with up to 8 bedrooms, which is sometimes like renting your own small hotel with staff. If you are traveling in a group or with a family, renting a luxury villa is often less expensive per room per night than renting a few hotel rooms, making this segment appealing if you are traveling with friends or family.

Private villas are difficult to categorize, but you might be surprised at how affordable a luxurious holiday can be. Those properties are almost never near the beach or restaurants, requiring some form of transportation. However, there are many well-located villas in Seminyak, Kerobokan, and Canggu.

Some villas have a minimum stay, especially during peak season, and websites like Airbnb charge a cleaning or booking fee. Several villa management companies offer villas, but you can also find those properties on OTAs such as booking.com, airbnb.com, and so on.

Average Prices for Villas:

A private one-bedroom villa with a small pool starts at US$100-150. While true luxury is likely to start around US$200 per night – per room available.

These villas are fully serviced and equipped with all amenities. The more luxurious ones include a chef and a team to look after you during the day. The more rooms a villa has, the less it costs per night per room. We recommend that you look through the listings and get inspired.

The most luxurious, with 6-8 bedrooms, can cost up to USD3,000-4,000 per night. But then you get a gym, a game room, incredible pool, amazing food, and possibly even a private tennis court, as well as your own chauffeur and car.

As everywhere else in the world…this depends 😉

The bigger villas (four to seven bedrooms) are often rented out for weddings. Bali is a popular destination for weddings, and there are a number of organizers that can handle all the details so that the newlyweds and their guests may have the perfect ceremony and reception.

How to travel Bali on a Budget

A Bali trip really doesn’t have to be expensive. Especially if you are planning an individual journey, you can save a whole lot of money. After learning how much we spent in Bali in the previous section, we’d like to give you a closer look at how we managed to travel Bali on the cheap and how you can do it, too with a few easy travel tips in this section of this article.

General Budget tip for traveling Bali – Bargain but don’t go too far

In Indonesian culture, bargaining over the price is well anchored and totally normal. As a result, the first price mentioned is usually much higher than the actual price the seller expects. Even if you are not practiced in negotiating, you will get the hang of it very quickly. Just say a price that’s lower than what you’re actually willing to pay. So you can get closer and closer to each other’s price and end up in the middle at a price that you are both happy with.

But please do not overdo it with the bargaining. Many locals are reliant on the money the tourists bring and, what for us may be just a few cents, for them, it can already make a huge difference. In particular, in places such as supermarkets or hotels shouldn’t be negotiated about the prices as they are fixed, just as you probably would never try to negotiate the price at your supermarket back home.

Extra tip: There are quite some tourist scams in Bali , and traders often try to overcharge tourists. So try to find out in advance how much you should pay for the product or service. You can do this, for example on the Internet or simply by asking at your accommodation.

Pura Lempuyang Temple in Bali, Couple holding hands, Bali on a budget

On such a popular island like Bali, you might think that public transport is well developed and easy to use. But the reality is not that easy. We had to learn about this already on arrival at Bali’s port after our passage from the neighboring island of Java. Although buses run from here to the (for tourists) most important places, such as Denpasar, Ubud, and Kuta, however, there are no fixed prices. (Theoretically, there are, but it is impossible to find someone willing to take a tourist to the actual prices.)

In many places in Bali, the transport companies have merged into a kind of mafia to raise prices for tourists. Even with a group of 8 people reaching Bali, it took us a whopping 30 minutes to negotiate a price with our bus driver (we still paid far more than the actual price). Although, as a tourist, you usually pay more than the locals, public transport prices are still relatively low compared to western transport costs.

Bali Budget Tip: For some connections, you can also book your tickets online. This way, you can avoid being overcharged or scammed for your ticket. Make sure, however, that you book your ticket on a trustworthy site, as there are also some scam sites. I usually book my tickets online via 12 Go Asia .

Bali Budget Tip 2: Before buying your ticket, check on the Internet about your bus ticket’s actual price. Let the bus driver know that you are aware of the actual price and try not to pay much more than the locals.

Rent a Scooter in Bali

A scooter THE means of transport in Bali. Although the roads in Bali are partly well developed and safe, traffic here is anything but quiet. Especially in the rainy season, accidents are more frequent. Only drive if you really feel confident to do so. Even better if you are already an experienced scooter driver. Note, above all, that there is left-hand traffic in Indonesia. The prices for scooter rental in Bali are usually quite affordable, and so you can rent your scooter for about 50,000 – 75,000 IDR (about 3 – 5 €) a day. Otherwise, there is still the possibility to order a scooter taxi via Uber.

If you want to visit more remote places in Bali (If you follow our Bali Itinerary 10 days , you will probably want to do so), you will soon realize that there are relatively few buses on the island. For this reason, sometimes you don’t have a chance but to take a taxi if you don’t want to drive yourself. Here you have to compare prices and negotiate. Find out online about the average fare for your trip so that you get an idea of what you should pay for it.

You’ll probably quickly find that it seems like every second person in Bali is a part-time taxi driver and offers you a ride. You might not want to agree to the very first person you talk to, but to talk to different people and compare prices. If you are looking for a taxi with a taximeter, you should only take the official Bluebird taxis . (You can also download the Bluebird app, which will allow you to call a taxi at any time.)

Bali Taxi Budget Tip: Do you see other travelers looking for a taxi as well? Why not just share the taxi? This will save you a lot of money, and maybe you will even make some new friends or travel companions along the way.

Grab and Go-Jek

Grab and Go-Jek are the Asian version of Uber and work on the same principle. Anyone who has ever been to Indonesia will realize that it is not that easy to organize a Grab taxi. Since Grab is prohibited in most touristy areas, it is almost impossible for a foreigner to find a ride from there via the platform. Even though some drivers accept your request, that does not mean that they actually turn up. Often they cancel the job after a few minutes. However, other drivers who take the risk of taking you with them write you a private message claiming far more money than the app set.

Cheap Flights to Bali

Those traveling to Bali will most likely not be able to avoid taking a flight. It is important to book your flight on time and to compare prices. For that, I prefer to use flight comparison sites like Skyscanner .

Food in Bali

Avoid Tourist Restaurants

I am only too happy to remember the incredibly delicious food in Indonesia. Those who previously traveled to other islands of the country, such as Java, shouldn’t hope to find these low prices in Bali. At no other location we visited in Indonesia, we could see such a huge difference in price between tourist restaurants and local restaurants ( warungs ).

In some parts of Bali, such as Ubud or Kuta (although we can not recommend a visit to Kuta unless you are looking to party), it is not that easy to find a restaurant without tourist prices. Luckily, our Ubud accommodation was a bit out of the city center, so we passed a small restaurant exclusively run by locals. Here we could enjoy delicious Nasi Goreng at reasonable prices. But also, in the city center of Ubud, such restaurants can be discovered. Especially if you choose to eat from the buffet, you can save a lot.

Bali Budget Tip: Just take a look around where the locals eat and compare prices. Instead of looking directly in the tourist center, try out the side streets – because the prices can vary a lot, even between different streets.

Street food

Another way to really save a lot of money and immerse yourself further in Bali’s culture is street food. Besides the typical dishes such as Nasi Goreng, you will also find many other delicious snacks and Indonesian delicacies. For about 1 € you can already enjoy a complete meal at some places.

Refill your bottle

Some accommodations allow you to refill your bottle free of charge or at least inexpensively with fresh drinking water. With this method, you not only save money but also help the environment by avoiding plastic garbage . To do this, it makes sense to put a refillable bottle on your packing list.

Think bigger

If there is no refilling of your water bottle offered in your accommodation and you still have to buy bottled water (please note that tap water in Bali is not suitable for drinking unfiltered!) You should refrain from using small water bottles. The bigger the bottle you buy, the less the water costs per liter. So buy the water in 1.5-liter bottles rather than in 0.5-liter bottles.

Or how about not spending money on water at all?

Yes, that’s right, you read that correctly. You can travel through Bali without buying water. So not only is your wallet spared, but you are also doing something good for the environment. The trick? Tap water! And no, the tap water in Bali is unprocessed Not (!) Drinkable. Despite everything, there is an easy way to make tap water drinkable. And with a so-called Lifestraw. (Click here for current prices and further information) This great invention disinfects and filters the water for you to make it drinkable.

Entrance Fee & Activities

Temples in Bali, Ubud, Budget for entrance fees

In Bali, the entrance fees differ somewhat from each other. While some temples and attractions can even be visited free of charge, others have to be paid for. However, usually, the entrance fees in Bali are pretty affordable.

As you can see in our Bali Cost overview at the beginning of this post, we spent an average of € 3.22 per day for entrance fees and activities. A day we took a tour with a private driver is particularly heavy as we have put together a tour with sights that were pretty far apart from each other. However, we could minimize expenses by teaming up with two other travelers we met on the ferry from Java to Bali.

You can save money in terms of entrance fees only if you do without certain things. But that’s exactly what we don’t want to do, right? Accordingly, you can get information in advance if the entrance fees are worth their price. For example, check out our detailed Bali Itinerary or check out the TripAdvisor reviews.

If you want to join a tour, it’s worth comparing providers and picking reliable tours. I prefer to book my tours through GetYourGuide or Viator . You can choose between different providers and directly see the reviews and comments left by travelers who have already participated in the tours.

Accommodation

The accommodations in Bali are usually a little more expensive than in less touristy parts of Indonesia, such as Java.

You can often save money by staying in a dorm instead of a private room. However, if you’re traveling with more than one person, staying in a private room might be worth it. Shared prices are usually not even that high.

Should I book in advance?

Although it is not absolutely necessary to look for a room before your arrival, you can still play it safe by booking your accommodation in advance. Especially, those who travel to Bali in the high season (especially around Christmas and New Year) should make sure to get a stay beforehand to not end up in the cheapest dump.

The big advantage of booking online is that you can access various reviews and comments from previous guests. If you use Booking.com to find accommodation, you have a wide accommodation choice in all price ranges. With various filters and the order by price function, you have great opportunities to find the perfect accommodation for you while still saving a few dollars. Most accommodations can also be canceled free of charge up to 24 hours before arrival, which will make you more flexible on your trip.

As you can see in our editions, we have not even spent so much on miscellaneous and random things. One reason is that at our favorite restaurant in Ubud, where we spent most of our time in Bali (there are simply so many things to do in Ubud ), there were free bananas to go with each order, so we spent less on fruits and juices. On the other hand, we were often traveling off the beaten track.

As you can imagine, if you followed our other travel budgets , most of our money went for ice cream and snacks. We just can’t resist. By the way, on this list, we did not include a picture, which we had bought from a local artist after we had talked to him about his culture and life in Bali for barely an hour. By the way, as I type in these lines, I look at this picture in a typical Balinese style, which is now hanging framed in our living room.

Did you know that Indonesia is the country with the most Muslims in the world? Although Bali’s population is predominantly Hindu, high taxes on alcohol apply here, which does not always make it cheap. Despite everything, you can always find relatively affordable deals, especially if you are looking for local beer. This can be found in some places for only 15,000 Rupiah (about 1 €).

The cheapest place to buy a cold beer is to go to hostels and convenience stores like Circle K. Also, for cocktails, depending on where you enjoy them, you don’t even have to spend a fortune in Bali. In some places, they cost no more than 4 €. But keep your eyes open, because in other places you pay 10 € for your cocktail. However, most restaurants and bars have their menus posted outside the door. Definitely, compare prices here!

3 thoughts on Bali on a Budget – Our detailed Bali Trip Cost and Bali Budget tips

For the Balinese, Pura Besakih, known as the Mother Temple of Bali, is an essential temple for the whole of the island and sits above the nine directional temples (kayangan jagat). Yoga retreats and centres for well-being are typical around this island. Eka Karya Botanical Garden in Bedugul was founded in 1959 and could be the youngest yet largest in the four Indonesian botanical gardens.

Thanks for the great information. It sounds like using Grab won’t be a great experience. What about GOJEK? Thanks!

thanks for your comment! I haven’t personally used GOJEK while I was in Bali but I’ve heard good experience about it by some fellow travelers.

How much does a trip to Bali cost?

Faraway Worlds

Bali travel budget

If you’re planning on travelling to Bali, you’re probably wondering how much you need to budget for your trip. While your travel costs will depend on your travel style, generally speaking Bali is perfect for a budget trip.

Accommodation costs are generally affordable and food and drinks are very cheap. Many of Bali’s best attractions are very affordable or even free and, while some activities could set you back a fair amount, there’s plenty to do at lower price points too.

How much should I budget for a trip to Bali?

A reasonable budget for two for a week in Bali is around IDR 17,013,376 .

The above cost is based on staying in good, mid-range accommodation and having a few meals out per week, while preparing some yourself . It makes allowances for a couple of sightseeing activities, but doesn’t take into account expensive activities like adventure sports or private tours.

Generally speaking, the longer you travel, the cheaper it costs per day, while fly-in, fly-out trips can be more expensive.

How much does accommodation cost?

You can expect to spend between IDR 910,000-IDR 1,800,000 a night, per couple, on accommodation in Bali. This will get you a private room with your own bathroom in a 3-4-star hotel or apartment rental.

Hostels are, of course, cheaper, but a private room with a shared bathroom will still cost around IDR 400,000 per night. A bed in a dorm room also averages around IDR 150,000 per night, per person, although there are definitely cheaper options out there.

Accommodation prices in Bali are rising again as the tourism industry recovers, however you may still be able to find some good deals at the moment. While accommodation in Bali isn't as cheap as some Asian countries, the value is generally very good and you can have a five-star experience on a mid-range budget. There are also many luxury options that are can reach far beyond the above prices.

Budget to spend around IDR 4,411,400 for two for a week in Bali. This assumes you’re cooking some of the time and drinking some alcohol.

If you enjoy eating out, you can expect to pay around IDR 643,000 for a nice dinner for two, including an alcoholic drink. A meal at a pub is likely to be around IDR 220,000 for two, with cheaper meals available (especially for lunch) for around IDR 57,000 each.

Assuming that you’ll be eating out some of the time, budget at least IDR 76,600 a week for groceries. If you enjoy a few drinks, you’ll need to increase this amount – beer costs around IDR 28,000 for a 500ml bottle and good bottle of wine is around IDR 326,000 , from a shop, although there are cheaper options available. Milk typically costs around IDR 23,000 for a two-litre bottle and you can expect to pay around IDR 38,600 for a cappuccino from a local café.

How much does it cost to get around Bali?

Getting around Bali is easiest with a scooter. Transport costs fluctuate depending how much you travel, but budgeting around IDR 793,000 for two per week is a good starting point. This should allow you to hire a couple of scooters. If you’re planning on doing any tours or using hop-on hop-off buses, you’ll need to up your budget a bit.

Taking taxis or hiring a driver with a car are also good options for getting around Bali, particularly if you don't want to deal with the chaotic traffic or are travelling in a larger group.

What should I expect to spend on activities?

A lot of the best things to do in Bali are free. However, there definitely are some attractions that cost money – entry fees to a museum or an art gallery are usually around IDR 144,000 - IDR 573,000 per person. If you want to do organised day trips or join smaller tour groups to learn more about some of the sites, budget around IDR 1,100,000 per activity per person.

Here are some prices for popular activities and day trips in Bali:

Mount Batur sunrise trek - USD 50

Private day trip to Ubud Monkey Forest, the rice terraces and Tanah Lot - USD 50

Tour to watch the sunset at Uluwatu Temple - USD 40

Cooking class in a local village near Ubud - USD 30

Day trip to Nusa Penida island - USD 60

Bali is a beautiful destination to visit and is a great place for a cheap trip. Cooking your own meals, carefully selecting accommodation or limiting meals out will definitely help you to reduce your travel costs. Slow travel is another great way to help your budget to stretch further, while exploring a place in more depth.

Travelling through Bali is definitely possible on a budget – just pick your priorities and compromise on the rest or consider travelling in the off-season and avoiding school holidays to cut down on costs. And, if you’re on the luxury end of the scale or wanting to treat yourself, the sky’s the limit.

If you are planning a trip to Bali this summer you are in good company – the Island of Gods is indeed beautiful at the moment. But to be honest, the days when it was a secret and inexpensive island paradise are long gone and Bali trip costs have bounced right back when the country reopened after Covid.

So how much does it cost to travel to Bali at the moment and how much money will you need for hotel, food, and fun activities? I will share up-to-date prices with you so you can calculate your complete Bali trip cost.

Bali trip cost – Prices for hotel, food & fun

If you go to a spa or a somewhat nicer restaurant (actually most of them unless they are really local) you might also see a price of Rp 100,000++ which means tax and service charges come on top. The tax is 10 % and the service charge is 5-10% but since the service charge is taxable you may end up paying an additional 21% for your meal. Just something to keep in mind when you do your food budget for your Bali trip.

Cash or credit card?

It really depends on the business whether you can pay with your credit card or not. I think I have seen more places since Covid that have credit card machines but you should still have some cash on you for smaller purchases. Some businesses, I have mainly noticed that with dive centers, will also charge you an extra fee when using your credit card.

I never exchange money and always just use my credit or debit card to draw money from an ATM. Make sure to use ATMs in or by a bank because credit card skimming is still a big thing in Bali.

The hindsight guide to travel safety.

When you are heading to a rural area or one of the islands you should prepare and bring enough cash. In some places, ATMs are quite rare. The same goes before big holidays as ATMs tend to run out of money.

The biggest part of your Bali trip cost is going to be your flight. Regardless of whether you are coming from Europe or the US, there are no direct flights to Bali, and especially after Covid the prices have skyrocketed.

If you are looking at flights in high season (June to August or December & January) you will be lucky to find a flight under $1,000 . Chances are you will need to do at least one stopover in Singapore , Dubai , or Doha .

A good alternative to save a bit could be to fly via Jakarta, spend the night at the airport hotel , and then take an Air Asia flight to Bali. Sounds complicated but if you are staying longer it might be worth it.

Obviously, if you are already in Australia or Southeast Asia things are different as many cheap airlines fly to Bali so you should be able to get a good deal.

While there are no Covid related requirements any longer to get into Indonesia you still need a visa. The easiest way is a visa on arrival which is available for many nationalities (check with the Indonesian embassy in your country beforehand) and costs Rp 500k (approximately $34).

Once you land you will pay for your visa first before you proceed to immigration. You can pay in different currencies or by credit card. Alternatively, you can get it online here beforehand – I tried a few times though, and for some reason, it wouldn’t accept my passport page so I eventually gave up.

And of course, one thing you should never go without anywhere is comprehensive travel insurance. I use the nomad insurance from Safety Wing. The insurance cost will mainly depend on how long you are traveling and how old you are. You can calculate your rate here:

Another big part of your Bali trip cost will be your accommodation. Gone are the times of $3 dorm beds and cute bamboo huts overlooking the rice paddies. Especially in high season, hotel prices in Bali are pretty much open end.

And while there are some great Airbnb in Bali, even those are not as cheap as you may think.

If you don’t mind roughing it you can still find a dorm bed from $7 per night. For those travelers like myself who want something a bit nicer and most importantly a door to close you are looking at $25 per night for a guesthouse or homestay in Canggu and $15 per night in Ubud . Obviously, this is the low end and you may need to book really early to find such a good deal.

On my recent trip I scored accommodation for these prices that included a small but nice bedroom with a double bed, a balcony/terrace, good wifi, aircon, and an ensuite bathroom with a really good shower (I got lucky there). Usually, you will pay a bit more for airconned rooms so you decide whether that is important to you.

In the beach areas, you will pay more the closer to the beach you get and in Ubud, you will pay more in the city center or if you want to sleep next to an especially pristine rice paddy. For smaller properties it might work out better to go there directly and ask for a price. If you pay cash you will probably save a bit compared to booking online. That said, this is not something I would recommend for high season!

Needless to say but here we go – for hotel rooms, the sky is the limit. You will find all the big luxury brands with properties in Bali as well as a good amount of cool new boutique hotels. For both of those, you will need to fork out a few hundred dollars per night.

If you are looking to rent a villa in Bali , most villas with a pool and a living area start at $100 per bedroom. So if you are getting a 3-bedroom villa, rates will start at $300 per night .

Bali has developed into a serious foodie destination, even becoming home to the first Indonesian restaurant to grace the Best50 Asia list (unfortunately Locavore is closing, but a new venture is already in the pipeline).

No surprise but my Bali foodie guides are some of my most read articles and I like eating my way around the island on your behalf.

That said, there is good local inexpensive food to be found but Bali is definitely one of those places where you may want to budget a little extra to dine out.

Indonesian meal at a local warung / Rp 30k
Salad bowl, pizza, or Eggs Benedict at a slightly fancier restaurant / Rp 80-100k
Degustation menu at a fine dining restaurant in Bali / from Rp 1Mio.
Coffee / Rp 20-30k
Fresh coconut / Rp 25k
Local big sparkling water / R 50k
Big water supermarket / Rp 10k
Cocktail / Rp 100-150k
A glass of wine / Rp 100-150k
A bottle of wine / Local from the supermarket starting at Rp 200k

And probably the most asked question: how much is a beer in Bali? If you stick with Bintang you will pay about R 25-30k. As you can see, alcohol is quite expensive in Bali so if you are on the budget stick to the local beer!

There is no guideline on how much fun activities in Bali cost – many are for free, and for others you may need to fork out quite a bit. In general, I’d say you don’t need to spend a fortune to have fun in Bali.

Let’s look at the things I like to do first:

Beauty & Sport

1-hour massage / Rp 80k at a cheap, local salon and starting at Rp 300k at a nicer spa
Hair cream bath / Rp 250k
Yoga class / Rp 150k
Body Factory / Day pass from Rp 400k
Zycle / Spinning class Rp 150k
Surf class / Private from Rp 350k
Surfboard rental / Starting at Rp 100k per day, often also available per hour

Obviously, all these fitness prices get cheaper if you are buying multiple classes or even a monthly unlimited membership if you are staying longer.

Scuba diving

Many asked me how much diving in Bali is and unfortunately, there is not even a good average I can give you as it very much depends on the area and the dive center. Unlike many islands in Thailand, Bali dive centers don’t regulate their prices.

I think a very vague average is Rp 1.2 Mio for 2 dives incl. tank, weights, and dive guide .

Make sure to stay close to the area you want to dive in as transport often increases the prices by quite a bit. Many dive centers will charge you extra for equipment rental so it might be worth it if you bring your own if you want to dive quite a bit.

Most will offer diving packages so if you book multiple dives you will pay less per dive. And remember that shore dives will always be cheaper than boat dives. While not all dive centers will give you a choice, some do.

Beauty products

Head & Shoulders Shampoo / Rp 80k
Natracare cotton tampons 10 pack / Rp 100k
Colgate toothpaste / Rp 60k
Nivea deodorant roll-on / Rp 30k
Nivea sunscreen 200ml for / Rp 390k

Prices for sightseeing in Bali

Ubud Sacred Monkey Forest / Rp 80k during the week, Rp 100k on the weekend
Bali Swing / Packages from Rp 300k per person with a 2 person minimum
Tegallalang Rice Terrace / Recommended donations at various “checkpoints” is Rp 10-50k
Uma Ceking Swing / Rp 50k to get in and walk around, Rp 200k for using the swings & nests
Waterfall / Most Bali waterfalls will charge a donation or fee of Rp 10-20k
Uluwatu temple / Rp 50k
Uluwatu visit with Kecak Dance ticket / Rp 150k
Beach club visit / Beach clubs in Bali usually don’t charge a cover fee but have a minimum spend. Many start at Rp 1 Mio minimum spend for a daybed which sometimes can be shared amongst a few people, La Brisa in Canggu has beach bean bags starting at Rp 300k.

View of Mount Agung in Bali with rice fields

Volcano hiking / You have two volcanoes to hike in Bali: Mount Batur and Mount Agung. And no, it is not recommended you do it by yourself. Prices usually start at $30 for the Mount Batur sunrise hike and $60 for Mount Agung including transport from Ubud or in the area.
Cooking class in Bali / Starting at $30 and usually include a market visit as well as lunch obviously

And then there is the old question – how to get around Bali without getting ripped off. Taxi drivers have a bad reputation in Bali. My driver Endy was just telling me a story of taxis charging naive tourists $ 100 from the airport to their hotel. Ouch…

Look, when it comes to airport transfers it seems anything goes but I always book a private transfer with Endy and he charges Rp 200k to Canggu or Seminyak and Rp 350k to Ubud from the airport in Denpasar . Alternatively, you can book your pick-up here which is a little bit more but not anywhere close to $ 100:

Otherwise, use a Bluebird taxi that has to use a meter or download Grab and GoJek – my preferred way of getting around for short distances. A Grab or GoJek for a short local distance will cost Rp 7-17k with an ojek (taxi scooter) and around Rp 45k with a car .

Traveling long distances you can either take a shuttle minivan or hire a private driver. Obviously the latter will cost you more (usually about double) but is a lot more comfortable and not an issue if you are sharing your transfer with a friend.

You can book your shuttle at many of the local little travel agencies/ counters or directly at 12go .

If you want to hire a driver for a day expect to pay around Rp 600k for a 10-hour day and around Rp 800k if you are heading all the way east or west to cover for extra petrol. Please tip your driver and cover their lunch!

If you want to leave Bali and travel to Nusa Lembongan or Nusa Penida or to one of the Gili islands you have various ferry and fast boat choices.

Tickets from Bali to Nusa islands / Rp 150-200k
Tickets from Bali to Gili Islands / Prices vary greatly and range from anything between Rp 250k and Rp 750k for a one-way trip. Speed boats in Indonesia have a notoriously and often not undeserved bad rep. It pays off to read some online reviews before booking and not go for the cheapest operator.

Make sure to choose the right pier in Bali when making your booking as the boat departs from various harbors.

How much is renting a scooter in Bali?

By far the best and cheapest way to get around Bali and the islands for those who dare is to rent a scooter or motorbike.

Rentals go for Rp 60-300k per day depending on what kind of bike you get. I’d recommend you rather pay a bit more and rent from a place that will offer you insurance as well – most places don’t. If you are renting for a week or a month you will usually get a better price.

I recommend booking your bike with Bikago , a reputable online operator. You can pre-book your bike with them and they will even deliver it to your hotel once you arrive. And best of all – they offer insurance!

If you do plan on driving yourself please make sure to get a helmet as well. It is illegal to drive without a helmet and it is also well… stupid to say the least. You can get a decent helmet for around Rp 300k , a worthy investment.

And on the note of safety: if you do not know what you are doing on a scooter you can invest in some scooter lessons. Canggu Scooter Lessons offers 2-hour lessons for Rp 400k .

And last but not least here are some miscellaneous travel costs that might be of interest to you.

Local SIM card / The first thing I do when I arrive in a new place is to get a local SIM card. There are various operators in Indonesia but I usually get a Telkomsel card as they have the biggest network. SIM cards at the airport are usually more expensive but I still think they are a good deal at least when I compare them with Germany. At the moment you can get a SIM card in Bali with an 18 GB data package for Rp 250k . Once you run out you can easily top up with the MyTelkomsel App. I got another 35 GB for only Rp 100k.
Co-working space / There are plenty of coworking spaces in the digital nomad hubs Ubud and Canggu. Usually, you will pay about Rp 200k for a day pass . But while some cafes have put up some nicely passive-aggressive signs reading ‘put your laptop away’ there are others where you can still work in peace while ordering a bowl and a coffee. My favorite free co-working in Canggu is ZIN Cafe.
Laundry / Rp 15-20k per kilo for an overnight service wash, iron, and fold. A little more if you want express service within a few hours.

Tipping is still not expected in Bali and in fact, I have found businesses to be super correct with even returning change as little as Rp 1000 (which is 6 cents where I am from). But as with many countries where wages are low, a tip is usually very much appreciated.

In restaurants the service charge is usually included in your bill, I often leave any small change if I liked it. The same goes for smaller warungs when there is no service charge included.

I usually don’t stay at hotels that are fancy enough to offer a daily maid service but if there is I will usually leave Rp 50-100k after my stay.

Since I usually have quite a heavy suitcase thanks to my dive gear, I will tip porters and the boat crew when going to the islands. I remember from the surprised looks that I have gotten from the boat crew that this was not the norm (poor guys). How much? My last porter got 50k from me because it was a long and rocky path from my room to reception.

At higher-end spas they will also add a service charge, in smaller places I will usually round up if I liked my treatment (so from Rp 80k to Rp 100k).

The people you should definitely tip in Bali are your driver and/or tour guide. Especially when you book through an agency or online. Depending on how long you spend with them Rp 50-100k would be appropriate. When you share a car with friends I would probably give a bit more and share it between the group, when you are on a tour I’d make sure you tip per person.

When I book a Grab motorbike, I usually add a few thousand when they were especially nice and driving well, or going out of their way to accommodate an ATM stop or such.

As you can see there are no rules when it comes to tipping in Bali and nobody is going to chase you down the street (looking at you, New York restaurant hostess!) when you don’t tip enough. But remember that many amounts are just peanuts when paying for your holiday with euro or dollars and you can really make someone’s day with a nice tip.

Thanks for the helpful info. This post comes at the right time as I am heading to Bali end of June. Yes, agree my flight was definitely higher than what I usually budget for. I assume the same principle as scuba diving applies to retreats (where what & who) as I am doing two during the high season which took a large chunk out of the budget.

The Ultimate Two-Week Bali Itinerary

09/20/2023 by Guest Blogger Leave a Comment

This guest post is by Victoria, a travel blogger and writer from Germany .

Bali is a tropical paradise with idyllic beaches, lush waterfalls, and plenty of exciting activities, all of which are included in this fun two-week itinerary on and near the Island of the Gods.

Hike through rice terraces, spend your days at white-sand beaches, and swim with green sea turtles on this epic trip through Bali and its neighboring islands, a great mixture of relaxation and fascinating things to do:

Canggu : 2 days
Nusa Lembongan : 2 days
Nusa Penida : 1 day
Gili Islands : 3 days
Ubud : 3 days

Uluwatu: 3 days

Table of Contents

Canggu: 2 days

Start your Bali trip off in Canggu, which is located around 1.5 hours by car from Bali’s airport. It’s a great place to start off your time in Bali, because you’ve got a great selection of places to eat and good nightlife. It’s also the starting point for many organized group tours.

It used to be a small beach town popular among surfers and nature lovers. However, it gained mass popularity in recent years and has now transformed into a busy hub for digital nomads and tourists.

On your first day, you can focus on relaxing and exploring if you’re up for it. Head to Old Man’s or La Brisa at the beach for a sunset drink, then grab dinner at one of the many restaurants in town.

Head to Sa’Mesa, a once-in-a-lifetime Italian dinner experience in which you’ll dance on the tables all night. Then it’s off to Buongiorno, the best bakery in town, to get some fresh pastries and sandwiches for your hangover. Other great restaurants include Mason, Shelter, or for local cuisine, Casa Tua

On your second day, hop into a Grab (a local app that works just like Uber), or rent a scooter to go visit Tanah Lot Temple, around 30 minutes north of Canggu.

(A lot of tourists get around by scooter in Bali, but think carefully before you decide to rent one. The traffic is chaotic and accidents are common, so only experienced drivers should choose this transport method. Always wear a helmet and go slow if you do ride a scooter. When in doubt, a taxi is the better choice.)

Tanah Lot is a beautiful temple on a rocky cliff over the water and is great for taking photos and learning a bit more about the unique Balinese culture.

The area around the temple is also known for its deserted beaches, so if Canggu’s Batu Bolong Beach is starting to feel a bit crowded, definitely head to Pig Stone Beach instead, where you won’t be bothered by other tourists.

In the evening, grab a few drinks and dinner and possibly hit some of Canggu’s busy nightlife spots, like Sand Bar, Luigi’s, X Bar, or La Brisa.

If you’re looking for an affordable and social place to stay, the Tipsy Gypsy Hostel is always the perfect choice. You’ll make friends in no time, and the facilities are clean and comfortable.

Another great option if you’re looking for private rooms is the Aston Hotel , which has a very central location less than five minutes from the beach.

If you’re a solo traveler and are worried about traveling alone, or don’t want to spend all your time alone, you should consider joining a guided group tour around Bali , the members of which will become your new best friends and travel buddies.

Nusa Lembongan: 2 days

In the morning, it’s time to hop on a fast boat and head to the beautiful island of Nusa Lembongan . Make sure to get up early, because you’ll need to drive all the way across southern Bali to Sanur, where the harbor is located.

The ferry terminal was recently renovated and is now modern and efficient, making getting to the island easier than ever. A ticket costs around IDR 150,000 per person, and the ride takes only 30–45 minutes, depending on the weather. You can either buy tickets on arrival at the harbor, or use 12go Asia, which always has the best deals and prices.

In Nusa Lembongan, you’ll get a taste of island life, which can be difficult to find on Bali itself. If you’re confident enough to drive, you should rent a scooter, which makes getting around a lot easier. Otherwise, you can use the local truck taxis, which can take you around the island for around IDR 100,000–200,000.

It’s also possible to walk short distances, although you should keep in mind that Lembongan has a lot of hills and no sidewalks, so it might not be the most comfortable activity.

You definitely need to visit Nusa Ceningan , the tiny island neighboring Lembongan that is connected by a narrow, bright yellow bridge. Ceningan is even smaller than Lembongan and has a variety of oceanfront restaurants and cafés you need to try. The views over the lagoon are absolutely beautiful, especially during sunset.

On the second day, explore Nusa Lembongan and go to Devil’s Tears, a rocky cove where the waves create an impressive spray and the ocean currents are very strong. It’s an impressive place to see and the entrance fee is only IDR 25,000 per person.

You can also stop by the nearby Dream Beach, which is just a 5 minute walk away. This is a perfect spot for lunch and relaxing for a few hours. In the afternoon, you can explore the island’s mangroves, which are completely different to the sandy beaches Lembongan is known for.

Rent a kayak for IDR 150,000 and paddle around the mangroves for an hour or so before heading back to your hotel to freshen up or going for a swim at the main beach.

Chances are you’ll be pretty tired after a day of exploring. Spend the afternoon relaxing by the beach in Nusa Lembongan, or if you still have some energy left, head to the Coconut Hut, which is a restaurant with a mini golf course. Their food and drinks are delicious, and mini golf is the perfect activity on a beautiful island.

If you need a reasonably priced hotel with a great view in Nusa Lembongan, you should stay at Lanussa Hill Villa on the Ceningan side of the island. It is quiet and has beautiful views of the Yellow Bridge.

Nusa Penida: 1 day

You can easily visit either Nusa Penida or Nusa Lembongan on a day trip from the other. So, in the morning, take a boat from the Yellow Bridge on the Ceningan side to the harbor on Nusa Penida. The ride shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes and only costs around IDR 30,000 per person — you can get boat tickets on the spot, as there are always vessels connecting the two islands. (If you want peace of mind, you can also head there the night before and get your tickets in advance.)

On Nusa Penida, you can either rent a scooter if you’re a very confident driver or hire a local one to take you around the island. The roads are winding and narrow, so it’s definitely not a good idea to drive yourself if you’re a beginner on a scooter.

A driver will take you around the island for up to eight hours, and you’ll pay approximately IDR 600,000–800,000, including petrol. I would highly recommend this, as scooter accidents involving tourists are very common here, and I’ve seen my fair share of people pushing their bikes uphill in the hot sun.

You can find drivers or scooters on arrival at the harbor, or you can check Facebook groups about Bali in advance to find someone who is recommended.

The most popular places on Nusa Penida include Kelingking Beach, with its impressive cliffs and white-sand beach; Angel’s Billabong, a natural pool with ocean views; Broken Beach, with a unique rock formation; and Diamond Beach, which is probably one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.

You can also visit nearby Atuh Beach, which is just as pretty and a great spot for lunch, since there are plenty of small huts to choose from. Just a 20-minute drive away is the Thousand Island Viewpoint, which is fantastic for taking pictures; and the Rumah Pohon Treehouses , a collection of little huts with incredible views, which you can even rent for the night if you’re up for an adventure.

Just keep in mind that Nusa Penida is far from a hidden secret anymore, and you’re going to encounter a lot of tourists during your time there. I recommend going as early in the morning as possible to make sure you beat the crowds.

Traffic is also getting worse, so be patient and make sure you have plenty of time to get back to the harbor before the last boat back to Lembongan leaves at sunset.

Gili Islands: 3 days

Rise and shine! It’s time to head to a brand-new island! Catch a fast boat early in the morning to get from Nusa Lembongan to the beautiful Gili Islands. You can buy your tickets at the harbor the day before, and the price should be around IDR 200,000 per person.

The ride can be bumpy, so definitely take some medication if you’re prone to seasickness. Try to sit at the back of the boat, which can be a lot smoother. After around two hours, you’ll reach the Gili Islands, which consist of Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air .

Everyone has a favorite out of the three; I personally always recommend Gili Trawangan, just because it’s the largest and there are the most activities. It’s known as somewhat of a party island, but there are also plenty of quiet areas, such as the sunset side, where you can escape the loud nightlife if that’s not something you enjoy.

Gili Air is an alternative if you’re not too sure about staying in busy Gili Trawangan with lots of backpackers. It’s just a 20-minute boat ride away, and the beaches are just as beautiful, with crystal-clear blue waters.

Gili Air is quieter, but there’s still nightlife and plenty of places to eat. If you’re trying to escape the crowds, you might enjoy it more. (You can swim with green sea turtles right at the beach on both islands.)

There are no cars on any of the Gili Islands, but you can get around by bike, on foot, or using horse carts. Unfortunately, the horses are treated very badly, so supporting the carts is not something you should be doing. Instead, rent a bike at the harbor when you arrive, so you can get to your hotel without having to walk.

A snorkeling tour is a must-do when visiting the Gili Islands. You can get a private one for around IDR 1,000,000 per day, or join a group tour, which costs IDR 150,000 per person. It’s easiest to find these tours along the main street, where you can choose among the many tourist stalls and vendors. Make sure to compare a few so you can get the best price.

Most tours head to Gili Meno to snorkel at the untouched reefs and the famous Nest statues, which are extremely popular.

Spend the rest of your days relaxing by the beach, cycling around, and just enjoying yourself. You’re on vacation after all!

On Gili Trawangan, you should stay at Frii Resort , a beautiful place on the sunset side of the island. If you’re looking for hostels, Mad Monkey is a fun place with regular events and parties.

If you’re shorter on time and have to choose between the Nusa and Gili islands , I’d go for the Nusas if you want lots to do, and the Gilis if you just want to chill and drink beers on the beach.

Ubud: 3 days

Time to leave the smaller islands and head back to Bali. You’re going to travel quite a bit today, so get plenty of sleep and be prepared for an early start. Catch a fast boat back to Padang Bai, where you’ll hop on a shuttle, which will take you to Ubud. Buy your tickets online from 12Go Asia, or at the harbor the night before. Most fast-boat companies include a transfer in the boat ticket, which should cost around IDR 350,000 in total. Expect the ride to take the whole day; you’ll finally arrive in Ubud in the early evening.

After a good night’s sleep, you’ll wake up refreshed and ready to explore Bali’s cultural center. You shouldn’t miss the Monkey Forest, which has free-ranging monkeys and historic temples, and is the perfect place to spend an afternoon. Just make sure to keep your belongings close, as the monkeys can be aggressive and steal items such as sunglasses, phones, or water bottles. Keep a safe distance, and don’t take any food into the park, to be safe.

The Campuhan Ridge Walk, which is a beautiful hike best done in the early morning, and the colorful Ubud art markets, where you can shop for souvenirs and artworks, are also must-visit places. Just make sure to haggle to get a reasonable price, as most tourists tend to overpay.

Ubud is also becoming more and more popular among foodies, and there is delicious cuisine you can try. Batu Bara is a really nice steakhouse, and prices are actually quite affordable. If you’re not into meat, you should try Sawo Bali, an all-vegan restaurant with an IDR 50,000-all-you-can-eat buffet.

Then there is Nusantara by Locavore, an upscale Indonesian restaurant offering traditional dishes from all around the country.

Ubud is a great base for exploring more of Bali, so definitely take a day trip or two while you are here. You can head to Mount Batur and do the famous sunrise hike for some of the best views on the island. Then there is the mountain town of Kintamani, with its lakes and strawberry farms; and Sidemen, with plenty of untouched nature and beautiful waterfalls.

Closer to Ubud, you can explore the famous Tegenungan waterfall, with its brand-new glass-bottom bridge. The Tegalalang rice terraces are also located close by and make for the perfect spot to take photos. For around IDR 200,000, you can even go for a ride on one of the famous swings.

In Ubud, Nick’s Homestay is a great, budget-friendly accommodation, with everything you might need nearby. It has a pool, and the houses are built in traditional Balinese style, which gives a bit of local culture and art. If you feel like splurging, here’s a list of the best luxury hotels in Ubud to choose from. Kristin stayed at Capella Ubud and loved it.

Enjoy your days in nature, and maybe even try a massage or yoga class before moving on to the next stop of your Bali itinerary.

Use the Grab or Gojek apps to go from Ubud to Uluwatu. The drive should cost around IDR 250,000, depending on the time of day, and takes between two and three hours if the traffic is bad. Once you’ve made it to Uluwatu, you can watch the sunset at Single Fin, a clifftop beach club, and have a few drinks before going to bed.

Spend your last days in Bali at some of the best beaches on the island. Melasti, Suluban, Nyang Nyang, and Bingin are highly recommended and have beautiful white sand with blue waters that are perfect for swimming and surfing.

A surf lesson costs around IDR 300,000, which includes board rental and a private teacher. You can also try paragliding or jet-skiing if you’re looking for an extra adrenaline rush.

Uluwatu is known for its stunning beach clubs where you can spend the entire day relaxing, reading a book and enjoying the sun. Sundays Beach Club is one of the best, but you need to come early to get a seat. Tropical Temptations is another fantastic club, although its minimum spend is relatively high for most types of daybeds. If you’re up for a party with world-class DJs, stop by Savaya or Ulu Cliff House, which regularly host large parties.

The Hideaway Residences are a beautiful villa complex with both affordable and higher-end options. Enjoy your last days in Bali from the comfort of your own private pool with a beautiful view over the hills of Uluwatu.

Bali has so much to offer that it’s difficult to limit a stay on this beautiful island to just two weeks. Definitely extend your trip if you can, or come back to Indonesia soon to see and do even more, like Lombok or diving Raja Ampat .

Bali Budget Itinerary: 2 Months for $2,000

Bali will run away with a piece of your heart. Or the whole thing. Fresh food, rich culture, crystal blue waterfalls, and lush landscapes unlike anything else you’ve seen. Bali is the total package – it’s no wonder this country receives over 6 million international tourists a year (prior to Covid, of course). We’ve designed this Bali Budget Itinerary specifically for visitors who are looking to settle down and stay awhile – in this case, approximately two months. However, if you only have a few days, this post will still provide you with insight into some of Bali’s best spots and the relative cost of traveling around this famed province of Indonesia.

The Quick Version: Where To Go

For two months in Bali we recommend starting in Canggu, hiring a driver to take you to Ubud, then moving on to catch the ferry to the Gili Islands. After the Gilis, stay on the east coast and travel down to Sanur, where you can hop on another boat to Nusa Penida. Once you’ve explored all that Nusa Penida has to offer, take a short boat ride over to Nusa Lembogan for the last leg of your trip before you make your way to the airport. We’re working on a Bali Travel Guide that gets down to the details of how to go from place to place. But this two month Bali Budget Itinerary will break down all the costs of exploring Bali on a budget.

Call Canggu Home (1 week – 1 month)

If you have two months to travel Bali – take enough time to fully immerse yourself in one of the places you choose to stay. We recommend shacking up in Canggu, where you can adjust to the different pace of life, learn how to operate in Bali (sim cards, currency exchange, driving, etc.), and experience the unique culture of Canggu. However, if you only have a week, you’ll have to speed date this incredible spot. Spend a month getting to know Canggu more intimately if you can. After 30 or so days of relaxing on Canggu beaches and navigating this new place, you’ll be confident and equipped for a more fast-paced style of travel during your second month abroad.

Truthfully, budget travel in Bali still feels like luxury. You can have it all – eating out daily, staying in picture-perfect villas, and booking adventurous tours/excursions – for a very affordable price. On our own trip to Bali, we accomplished these things and more for a total of $2,000 per person. Two months of travel for $2,000 – flights included! Personally, our flights cost $750 per person from Chicago (ORD) to Denpasar (DPS), which was almost half our budget. Of course, it depends on where you’re flying from, but the flight to Bali will likely be your greatest expense.

Get To Know Canggu

Canggu deserves a second date. And a third, and a fourth, and a fifth. Located on the west coast of Bali, this up and coming surf town is quieter and less touristy than nearby Seminyak. Many expats come for a visit only to find themselves moving to Canggu permanently. Daily life in Canggu looks a little something like this: wake up; ride your scooter to the beach; surf; eat at incredible restaurants for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; experience the great nightlife; and do it all over again the next day. Don’t forget to explore the shops and find time to lounge by the pool.

Where to Stay: Canggu has no shortage of incredible Airbnb’s. We booked our Airbnb for just $20 a night, and it was perfect for our needs. This private villa shared a pool, garden, and outdoor kitchen with three other villas. While budget friendly, the downside to this accommodation was the noise and lack of privacy at the pool. However, the pros far outweigh the cons. The room was clean and spacious, the host was responsive, and we had the nicest local who cleaned our villa daily and checked in on us. This rental (and most rentals for that matter) offers airport transfer and moped rentals (for a fee).

Recommendation: Book your Airbnb close to the beach. We stayed on the road JI Pantai Berawa and really loved the area. It’s walking distance from many restaurants and a quick 5 minute ride to the beach.

What to do in Canggu

Surf. Eat. Relax. Explore.

Berawa Beach is great for surfing, this beach has surfboard rentals all along the sand for approximately $3 a day – and a nice break right off the beach. Batu Bolong Beach and Pererenan Beach are also close by and worth exploring. Do note that while Canggu beaches are great for surfing, a walk on the beach, or a beautiful sunset, they aren’t great for swimming. Unfortunately, the water is dirty and the beaches often have quite a bit of garbage.

Canggu has an endless supply of eateries. In truth, you could eat out for every meal for a full month, and you still wouldn’t come close to trying all the restaurants in the area! Personally, our budget was $4 per person for breakfast (60,000 IDR) and $5 per person for dinner. Breakfasts are delicious and healthy, with many restaurants featuring vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free food. Classic American food and incredible Indonesian cuisine are also easy to come by.

In addition, Canggu has many accessible grocery stores where you can pick up fresh goods and staples to cook in your villa. Try the nasi goreng (fried rice) at your nearby warung if you want a budget friendly option. Purchasing affordable foods from these spots will help you save $$$.

Let’s Talk Visas

In order to stay in Bali for 2 months you MUST get a visa on arrival right when you arrive at the airport. You must ALSO extend your ‘ visa on arrival’ (this is the name of the visa) while you’re in Bali. The visa on arrival costs approximately $35 per person, and $75 per person to extend.

Recommendations: Start the visa extension process on day 20 of your trip while still in Canggu. This process requires you to visit the office of an agent (see below) and hand over your passport for approximately a week. We know. Scary. But this is how it’s done in Bali. Always make multiple copies of your passport before your trip. You can try to navigate this process alone, but we recommend using an agent because it’s quite complicated without their help.

Our Experience: We selected an agent close to our villa, drove our rented moped to their office, and dropped off our documents. Within a few days, the agent messaged us on WhatsApp with a time to meet at the immigration office. Then, for our trip back to the office, we chose to hire a driver because the office is located in a busy city that is far and difficult to reach by moped. At that point, we were met there by a friendly woman who helped us extend our visas. All in all, the entire experience took less than half a day, and the agent took care of all the confusing steps for us.

If you’re in Canggu, check out Bali Visa Extension Agent . They are professional and great to work with!

Groceries = $60

Total: $1,298 total, or $649 per person

Tegalalang Rice Terraces

Adventure Ubud (1 week – 1 month)

Ubud is another popular spot – and for good reason. This lush, mountainous location is more tropical rainforest than beach town. If you spent one month in Canggu, set aside approximately one week to explore Ubud. But if you prefer the rainforest to surf/beaches, switch Ubud and Canggu in this itinerary and spend your first full month in Ubud.

Shack Up in Ubud

Yet again, Airbnb offers great accommodation in Ubud. This spot also has incredible boutique hotels worth considering. On our trip, we paid $125 for 5 nights in a one bedroom villa in the middle of the Ubud Market. This price included daily delicious breakfast with volcano views.

Recommendations: If you’re going to book an Airbnb, stay in the center of the city so you have access to all of the food, shopping, yoga, and markets.

Bambu Indah is a spot worth splurging for. Located just outside of Ubud, Bambu Indah is a dream rainforest getaway. The resort intertwines sustainability, Indonesian culture, and nature, seamlessly for an unforgettable experience. Every building is a unique bamboo structure, and the property features organic gardens and multiple natural stone pools. One night in a tree house will cost you $100 – but it will be love at first sight.

What to do in Ubud

Ubud is a walkable city – you can get just about anywhere you want to go on foot. Tours will take you to explore the nearby jungle and Northern Bali – and you can simply hire a driver or tour company to take you there. We found our drivers on the streets of Ubud – and kept their number so that we could use the same service repeatedly.

Tour the rice terraces. Hire a driver to take you about 45 minutes outside of Ubud, and go early before it gets too busy! Walking through the rice terraces a little after sunrise is the key to an enjoyable and peaceful experience. On your way back, stop at the Luwak Coffee Plantation for a coffee and tea tasting and a chance to soar in a giant swing over the jungle. This tour cost approximately $20 per person.

Explore the waterfalls. Take another early morning trip out of Ubud to hike to Tibumana (one of the many options). This quick and beautiful trek leads to a stunning waterfall where you can swim for hours. We had it all to ourselves for hours.

Recommendations: Tegenungan waterfall, Banyumala Twin waterfall, and Sekumpul waterfall are all stunning options.

Visit the traditional Ubud market . Open all day, this is the perfect place to pick up local art and support the Balinese community.

Campuhan Ridge Walk . A hiking trail that offers stunning aerial views. Again, go early. In fact, just go early to all of these spots if you don’t want to be surrounded by other tourists. The midday heat in Bali is also intense and this hike is much more enjoyable in the early hours of the day. Dress appropriately for a long trail hike, but know that you can turn back at any point!

Campuhan Ridge Walk

Villa: $25 x 5 nights = $125
Hotel = $100
Lunch: $8 x 6 days = $48
Dinner: $10 x 6 nights = $60
Waterfall Tour = $40
Rice Terrace and Coffee Tour = $40
Monkey Forest = $12

Total: $425 total, or $212 a person.

Gili Islands (7 days)

The Gili Islands are a small island archipelago off the coast of Bali. and are actually part of Lombok, which you can see from the beaches of Gili Air.

Each island has its own personality. First and foremost, Gili Trawangan is the party island, with avid nightlife and exciting people. Next, Gili Air meets in the middle – the perfect destination for scuba diving, relaxing on a quiet beach, and having a chill night out with friends! And finally, Gili Meno is the small, quiet one. This is the perfect destination for a romantic getaway. Visit the Gili Islands to rest, relax, and enjoy the incredible beaches and blue water.

Gili Air Costs

Villa: $22 x 7 nights = $154
Lunch: $8 x 7 days = $56
Dinner: $8 x 7 nights = $56
Snorkeling Tour = $50 for 2 people

Total: $316 total, or $158 a person

Nusa Penida (5-7 days)

Good things come in threes, and the Nusa Islands are no exception. Once remote islands, Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan are now popular tourist destinations. We’ll introduce you to two of these eligible spots, and let you decide which better suits your tastes. Or better yet, visit both!

Nusa Penida is all dramatic blue water and steep cliffside views. This island is worth 3-5 days if you have the time. Nusa Penida is for the off-the-beaten path traveler, but it’s rapidly gaining in popularity.

Hire a tour company to help you navigate this largely undeveloped place for just $70 a person for 3 days. It can be hard to find the best spots which lie down long, windy and bumpy roads, without a guide. These spots also have strict rules surrounding parking, payment, and clothing – and the language barrier can be difficult to navigate. A guide is the easiest way to ensure a hassle free experience. Spend a few days with a tour guide and you’ll gain the confidence you need to strike out more on your own.

Shack Up in Nusa Penida

By now, you won’t be surprised that Airbnb offers great stays in Nusa Penida. Choose luxury villas or budget friendly rooms. Splurge for a waterfront view if you’d like! As always, it’s vital that you read reviews before booking any accommodation.

Note that power outages are common in this location which makes for hot nights without AC. It’s best to adjust your expectations and embrace a more low maintenance style of travel if you’re following this Bali Budget Itinerary through Nusa Penida. This stay cost us $22 a night, and it included breakfast delivered to our room every morning.

What to do in Nusa Penida

Finally, it’s time to kick your feet up and let someone else take care of you for a while. Bali and Nusapenida Tour crafts perfect itineraries for travelers. Explore the website, message the company with your desired trip length, and let them take care of the rest. Read below for an example itinerary that details our experience.

The tour included pick up from our rental in Sanur where you can stay for one night to make the ferry early the next morning. After a 30 minute boat ride, you will be picked up by your guide to begin your tour. This is the three day tour we took, which you can choose to replicate:

Kelingking Beach – Go early (before 10:00 am) to avoid crowds for the most stunning views of your whole trip. While Instagram may have tainted this perfect spot, it’s still worth a few hours on your itinerary.
Broken Beach and Angels billabong – these two locations are side by side and best visited together.
Crystal Bay
Atuh Beach & Diamond Beach – Simply unreal. These two beaches are side by side on opposite sides of a cliff and have indescribable views from the overlook. It’s only about a 20 minute hike to get to the bottom. Atuh beach has food and umbrellas at the bottom. But if you came prepared with your own snacks, Diamond Beach is a quieter alternative.
Snorkeling – spend hours on a private boat with a guide before diving below the ocean’s surface to see the most incredible reefs.

Day 4 and 5:

Lastly, head back to your favorite spot for another beach day – because once is never enough. Return to Crystal Bay and snorkel out to the reef from the beach, or hike down to one of the beaches you skipped previously!

Broken Beach, Nusa Penida

Nusa Penida Costs

$22 x 5 nights = $110
Tour = $140 for 2 people
Lunch = $8 for 2 days
Dinner = $8 for 5 days
Scooter = $10 for 2 days

Kelingking Beach

Diamond Beach

Nusa Lembongan (3-5 Days)

Nusa Lembongan is for ocean-lovers and adventurers. Calling all divers and snorkelers – this is the spot for you.

Shack Up in Nusa Lembongan

Stay at the Twin Island Dive Resort . Located on a high point of the island, it’s not the most convenient to the beach but the views more than make up for it. Spend your days here lounging by the pool, enjoying the peace and beauty of this resort-style accommodation. You’ll be picked up from the ferry, served breakfast on your porch each morning, and driven into town to try various restaurants each evening. If the beach is essential to your stay, explore your options on Airbnb to find something closer to the water.

Explore Underwater in Nusa Lembongan

If you are scuba certified, you must dive this island. It’s non-negotiable. Anyone and everyone can join snorkeling tours to experience the underwater magic of this island. The color. The crystal clear water. The underwater ecosystems teeming with marine life. It doesn’t get any better.

Recommendation: Try to visit one or all of the beach clubs on this dreamy island. Ginger and Jamu, Sandy Bay, and Ohana’s all have relaxed vibes and beautiful views of their respective beaches and pools! Dream beach, Coconut Beach, and Mushrooms Bay are also worth a visit!

Nusa Lembongan Costs

$50 x 2 nights = $100
Diving = $170 for 2 dives
Lunch = $8 for 3 days
Dinner = $10 for 3 days

Total: $324 total, or $162 a person

Or, feel feel free to pick and choose from our recommendations to make this trip your own. When it comes to Bali, it’s worth it to settle down and stay awhile.

2 Week Bali Itinerary For First Time Visitors

It can be very confusing trying to plan a dream Bali trip, where do you start? It is well-known for its tropical white and volcanic black sand beaches; warm hospitality; hip-and-happening beach clubs; dreamy rice terrace views; peaceful Hindu and Buddhist temples; active yoga and conscious community; and powerful towering waterfalls.

I know what you’re thinking – not another Bali 2 week itinerary! I get it, up until recently I had an aversion to traveling to Bali, simply because a) it seemed like every single person in the world was flocking to the island and inundating my social media feeds with photos of Instagram hotspot after Instagram hotspot, and b) I didn’t quite know where to begin with Bali trip planning.

Basic Bali travel tips

First time to Bali? Here’s what you need to know before you go.

Visa on arrival receipt in Bali Indonesia

✈️ The main airport in Bali is Ngurah Rai International Airport (airport code: DPS). Many airlines fly direct to Bali. 🛂 A 30-day tourist visa-on-arrival is available for passport holders from more than 80 countries . The Bali visa fee is US$35 or 500,000 IDR, and can be paid by cash or credit card – the fee is the same for adults and children. As of November 2022, you can also apply for an electronic visa ahead of your trip here – this may save you some time at the airport on arrival. You may be eligible for the visa exemption arrangement if you hold an ASEAN member country passport including those from Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Save yourself some time by completing the electronic customs declaration ahead of your Bali trip here . As of February 14th 2024 you will also be required to pay a 150,000 IDR (approximately US$10) “tourism levy” to be used towards the conservation of Bali’s nature and support sustainable tourism – this fee is in addition to the visa-on-arrival fee. You should arrange to pay this fee online before your trip, though certain exemptions apply (diplomatic visa, Golden visa and student visa etc.) and must be applied for 1 month in advance. Read more here .

💱 The currency used in Bali is the Indonesian rupiah and the exchange rate is approximately US$1/1 Euro: 15,000 IDR or AUD$1: 10,000 IDR. There are ATMs in the airport where you can withdraw some cash to get you started, and then you can visit a local ATM or money exchange place once you are in town.

Legitimate currency exchange/money changer shops in Bali advertise the rates clearly and do not charge a commission – we had a great experience with the “Mr. & Mrs. Butler” chain of money exchangers in Bali; however, as you would anywhere else, make sure you count your cash before leaving to avoid any later disputes. The majority of hotels, tourist restaurants and supermarkets accept credit card payments (you may find that in Southeast Asia Visa and Mastercard are preferred over American Express), though you will still need cash to pay drivers and for any tips.

📱 Buy a local Indonesian SIM card . Everyone in Bali uses Whatsapp to communicate – this includes hotels, taxi drivers, spas and equipment rental companies. The easiest way to stay connected is to buy a Bali SIM card via Klook – you can get a data-only SIM for as little as US$12 and pick it up from the airport on arrival or get it delivered to your hotel. You will need to provide certain information including your passport copy and phone IMEI number. Buy your Bali SIM card here .

🏖️ The best time to visit Bali is widely considered to be during the northern hemisphere’s summer months between July to early September. This also means that this is Bali’s peak tourism season and the island receives the highest volume of tourists during these months. This is also the dry season and Bali tends to receive lower rainfall during the summer months. The rainy season in Bali usually runs during the winter months from December to February and it can be very humid and sticky during this time (though the rain storms tend to come and go rather than linger all day long).

That being said, there is no “bad” time to visit Bali. One important thing to note for first time visitors to Bali is that Nyepi , New Year’s day in the Balinese calendar, falls in March (the date changes each year) and during this day the island observes complete silence. In 2024 Nyepi will fall on March 11th and last until the morning of March 12th, and in 2025 Nyepi will take place on March 29th until the morning of March 30th. Shops and businesses close for the day, and everybody (including tourists) is expected to stay indoors as part of the ritual. The airport is no exception – there are no arrivals and departures on the day of Nyepi and some hotels may not arrange check-ins and outs during this day. Just a Bali travel tip to bear in mind so that you are not caught off-guard.

Penjors during Galungan in Bali Indonesia

Another major holiday in Bali to take note of is Galungan and Kuningan , a Hindu celebration which takes place every 210 days. The two major events are 10 days apart, and many Balinese Hindus will spend the festival visiting family temples – many government offices will be closed on Galungan and Kuningan, and some major religious landmarks (like Pura Lempuyang) may close for ceremonies or have different opening and closing times. It is a beautiful time to be in Bali, when all the streets are lined with towering bamboo penjors.

Dress code at Goa Gajah temple in Ubud Bali

👚 What to wear in Bali: The majority of the population on the island are Hindu, and as a top tourism destination the dress code in Bali is typically fairly relaxed. Vacation beachwear is the norm, so go ahead and pack your bikinis, dresses, shorts and crop tops.

There is, however, an important exception – if you plan on visiting any temple both men and women will need to have your legs covered with a sarong (available to rent at most temples), and make sure that your shoulders are also covered. You will also notice that most women in Bali dress conservatively and wear traditional attire on certain days during the week and to visit temples – it is worth bearing this in mind when you venture around town outside of your resort or hotel.

🚁 Flying a drone in Bali: You can fly a small drone in Bali for recreational, non-commercial purposes without a license as long as you follow a few important guidelines . You should not fly a drone around or over any temple, and many hotels and beach clubs will have their own policies for drone usage on their property, so it’s best to check ahead before you launch your UAV.

Safety in Bali

The vast majority of visits to Bali are trouble-free, and tourism is not only a major source of revenue for the island but also generates a significant number of direct and indirect employment opportunities. Violent crime against foreigners occurs infrequently, but petty crime is sadly not uncommon.

As you would anywhere else in the world, keep a close eye on your belongings, especially in crowded areas. There are a number of common scams in Bali : if an offer seems “too good to be true” or overly convenient, it could very well be part of a scam.

Lines for Kecak Dance at Uluwatu Temple in Bali

A common scam in Bali is being told that you have to purchase a sarong from a vendor in order to visit one of the temples – in reality, many temples will provide a sarong to visitors free-of-charge. This is not a scam per se, but you may also be approached by local guides for a tour of the site – there is a fee associated with this service which is often not disclosed upfront. You may also be asked for informal donations at temples or historic landmarks which are usually not mandatory.

I also recommend taking certain precautions such as pre-booking airport transportation with a reliable car service and driver, watching your drink when you are out and about, and letting friends and family know of your travel plans/whereabouts and hotel contact information.

Booking hotels in Bali

It is easy to get sucked into wanting to book all the Insta-famous hotels in Bali. You know the ones I’m talking about. But it doesn’t always make the most sense in terms of practicality, location, amenities provided or pricing.

Entrance to Jepun Sari boutique hotel in Uluwatu Bali

Found an amazing boutique villa in Canggu ? Great! But double check the location in case it’s further inland – which is fine if you are happy to hop on a scooter every time you want to head out for a meal or to visit the beach! Those Bali hotels with brilliant infinity pools overlooking the jungle in Ubud are bliss – but there might not be much nearby in terms of restaurants and other things to do.

Planning on staying at a cliffside hotel in Uluwatu ? Fantastic. But you might need to prepare yourself (and your thighs) for the steep flights of stairs going up and down the cliffs each day. Those dreamy bamboo bungalows that you see all over social media are great…if you don’t mind being exposed to the elements and local wildlife. All I’m saying is – know exactly what you are getting yourself into before you book!

I spent hours researching hotels for our 2 week Bali trip itinerary and can personally recommend these boutique and luxury hotel options – I hope you find them helpful. The total cost for all of our accommodation across 2 weeks in Bali barely covers a night or two at some of the billboard, big-name Bali hotels – and while I’m happy to splurge here and there for more upscale options, I’m all about ROI!

Alternatively, click here to check out other highly-rated hotels in Bali – I recommend that you search by location (and then check the location on a map) and sort by review scores to see what best fits into your itinerary! Either way, you’ll want to book ahead, especially if you’re planning a 2 week Bali itinerary during the peak travel season.

You might also want to check out Airbnb if you are traveling with others as there are plenty of Bali villa options available (however you’ll want to double check if meals are served on-site or whether you will head out for every meal). We mostly used Booking.com for this Bali 2 week itinerary as the cancellation policies tend to be a little more flexible, and it is slightly easier to filter by facilities, review scores and location.

Where to stay in Bali

If you have 2 weeks in Bali you should have enough time to explore 3-4 areas across the island, and this 2 week Bali itinerary will cover only a handful of these places as you’ll want to spend a few days in each to get settled and explore your surroundings.

For future reference, there are some differences between the major tourism destinations. Here are some quick generalizations of the key areas to help you decide where to visit in Bali:

Kuta/Legian/Seminyak – some of Bali’s flagship destinations, these three neighbouring areas are the closest to Bali’s international airport in Denpasar and popular for beach vacations and a fly-and-flop holiday. There are beach clubs galore gathered around these three places as well as a whole host of big-name resorts complete with all the facilities. The potential downsides are the crowds and heavy tourism development. Some people love the convenience of Kuta, Legian and Seminyak, but it’s not for everybody.

Canggu – Canggu is located further north of Seminyak and has become the next hip-and-happening destination to visit in Bali, especially for those looking to branch out beyond the typically tourist-heavy resort towns. For this reason Canggu is also starting to become fairly busy in the main areas and traffic can be a major headache. There are a few hubs in Canggu including Berawa, Batu Bolong, Echo Beach/Jalan Pantai Batu Mejan area and Pererenan.

Munduk and Bedugul – Located in central Bali, Munduk and Bedugal are cradled high up in the Bali mountains surrounded by dozens of dreamy waterfalls and rice fields. It is also home to one of the holiest Hindu temple complexes in Bali – Pura Ulun Danu Beratan. Because of its distance from the airport, it’s not often the first or final destination for anyone planning a 2 week Bali itinerary, nor is it particularly well-suited as a day trip location. Instead, most people visit Munduk for a few days on their way to Lovina along the northern coast of Bali or before/after traveling to Ubud.

Lovina – Lovina in the far north of Bali encompasses a lengthy stretch of coastline and quiet villages. It is especially popular for dolphin watching tours and snorkeling trips off its black-sand beaches, as well as proximity to a few natural hot springs. It tends to be a quieter and more relaxed part of Bali, and is an option for people looking for a beach getaway far from the crowds.

Ubud – A cornerstone Bali destination that almost everyone has heard of. Sometimes referred to as the “cultural capital” of the island, Ubud is located just 2 hours away from the international airport and offers something to suit all types of travelers. From peaceful Hindu temples and palaces to roaring waterfalls and cascading rice paddies in Tegallalang, Ubud is considered a no-brainer for anyone visiting Bali for the first time.

Sidemen – A lesser-known but up-and-coming destination east of Ubud, Sidemen showcases the slower pace of life on the island. Surrounded by majestic waterfalls and rice fields, Sidemen is perfect for nature lovers. The tourism infrastructure is minimal compared to more developed parts of Bali, but there are still a number of luxury resorts and bamboo villas dotted around Sidemen.

Amed – Amed is perhaps most well-known among the snorkeling and diving communities. Set among a lush landscape and with Mount Agung in the backdrop, Amed is a popular base on the east coast of Bali for those wanting to explore more of this quieter piece of the island. Beyond the coastline it also offers proximity to the famed Pura Lempuyang, Lahangan Sweet viewpoint and Tirta Gangga. For those looking for alternative places to visit in Bali, Amed is one to add to the list.

Candi Dasa – Candi Dasa is also located on the eastern end of Bali island. Generally a quiet area away from the crowds, Candi Dasa offers a low-key island getaway. There are a number of luxury hotels in the area to choose from if you’d like a higher-end stay.

Sanur – Often compared to Canggu on the west coast, Sanur is a favorite for families traveling to Bali looking for a quieter getaway. Sanur also offers plenty of restaurants and bars, oceanfront hotels and cafes as well as day trip options to the neighboring Nusa islands. It is an easy 30-45 minute drive away from the international airport in Denpasar.

Nusa Dua – Nusa Dua is Bali’s resort haven located in the Bukit Peninsula. This ritzy enclave in south Bali is home to the who’s who of luxury hotel brands and some of the most pristine beaches on the island. It is an easy vacation destination but most restaurants and activities are located within hotels, and it may feel like there’s not much to do beyond the resort life. If you are looking for a resort vacation then there are other areas in Bali that may be preferable.

Uluwatu – In stark contrast to the lush waterfall-filled jungles and mountains of Bali are the steep hanging cliffs of Uluwatu . The chic Uluwatu is also home to one of Bali’s most prominent Hindu temples, Pura Luhur Uluwatu. Uluwatu is located on the opposite side of the Bukit Peninsula from Nusa Dua, and spans across a few beach areas including Bingin, Padang Padang and Nyang Nyang. Uluwatu is a firm favorite among honeymooners and die-hard surfers – there is a huge portfolio of luxury and boutique hotels on offer, as well as exclusive villas available for rent.

Jimbaran – The fishing-village-turned-resort-town of Jimbaran is located just above Uluwatu, a mere 20-30 minute drive from the international airport. Visitors love to watch the local fishermen and boats in the bay – it is one of the best places in Bali for a beachfront seafood dinner. Jimbaran is another option for a holiday destination near the airport.

How to get around Bali

To get into Bali you’ll need to fly into Ngurah Rai International Airport near Denpasar. There are “standard” rates for airport transfers from the airport to different areas across Bali, here is a chart so you can get an idea of what rates are typical . Please note that these rates may not include charges for larger vehicles, surfboards/other large luggage, baby and child car seats etc., and are accurate as of mid-2023. They are only designed to give you an idea of how much Bali airport transfer may cost.

I recommend Gede (Whatsapp at +62 812 3689 2841 ) or Sudewa/Ani (Whatsapp at +62 819 9845 3366 ) for any long-distance transfers and day trips in Bali. We found that their rates were fair, vehicles were clean and they can also provide a forward-facing car seat if you are traveling to Bali with young children.

Once you have arrived within a particular area in Bali it is usually possible to get around on foot if you are traveling short distances, by rental scooter or Grab/Gojek (on-demand ride-hailing – download the app before your trip), or by local taxis.

One caveat I will leave you with before renting a scooter in Bali is that you need to be extremely careful – you may want to consider this option carefully if you are not confident and experienced in driving a scooter, or do not have the necessary license to drive a motorcycle (in which case any accidents may not be covered by your travel insurance).

Don’t get me wrong – I love the flexibility of having our own scooter and having the ability to come and go as you please, but it really doesn’t take much to cause a serious accident. All I can say is, understand the risks of driving a scooter in Bali (or anywhere, really) and ensure that you know where the nearest medical centers and hospitals are located in the event of an accident.

Update: As of May 2023 it appears that the local government is beginning to enforce new rules on scooter rentals in Bali. Tourists can only hire a motorcycle from a business that is registered with the relevant trade agencies or the transportation renting association in Bali, and must also have an international driving license that covers them for driving motorcycles and relevant insurance documents. It is unclear if and how this rule will be enforced, but regardless you should hold the correct certification for driving a motorcycle vehicle in order to be covered by your travel insurance in the event of an accident. Source .

It is also possible to hire a car in Bali but you should know that Bali is not the easiest of places to drive (or park) as the streets are narrow with scooters zooming by, and parking spots are limited. Your international driving permit may require further endorsement by the local authorities, and you should double check that your travel insurance covers any motor vehicle accidents overseas (and check whether it covers any excesses/deductibles).

2 week itinerary for Bali

Beach umbrellas and sunset on the beach in Canggu in Bali

Only have 2 weeks in Bali? There’s a lot to see and do in Bali, and it’s hard to condense everything within just a few days – you would need months (if not years) to properly experience everything the island and its surroundings has to offer, but you’ll get a great first taste of Bali in 14 days.

Read on if you’re wondering how to spend 14 days in Bali – this itinerary not only covers the sweeping beaches and cascading rice terraces that spring to mind when you think of Bali, but also the temples, archaeological sites and waterfalls away from the masses.

At the end of this Bali itinerary I will also list some options if you have more time on your hands and wish to extend this into a 3 week Bali trip.

A quick preview of this Bali 2 week itinerary:

4 days in Canggu
3 days in Munduk
4 days in Ubud (plus a day trip option to east Bali)
3 days in Uluwatu

1. 4 days in Canggu

Kick off your Bali trip on the west coast, the drive from the international airport to Canggu will take 1-2 hours depending where in Canggu you are headed and what time you are driving.

Cup of flat white at Honey cafe in Canggu Bali

Canggu in Bali has quickly become the next hip-and-happening destination to visit on the island, especially for those looking to branch out beyond the typically tourist-heavy resort towns of Seminyak and Kuta.

Watching the sunset at Pererenan Beach in Canggu Bali

The laid-back atmosphere, string of picturesque beaches, fantastic yoga studios and excellent boutique hotels have drawn in visitors from around the world looking for that perfectly balanced beach holiday complete with fiery sunsets every evening.

Visitors to Canggu love the variety of cafes and restaurants on offer, but development is a double-edged sword as traffic and construction noise is a major problem in the area. My best tip would be to book a Canggu hotel that has several coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance, and read the reviews carefully to see if recent reviews mention neighboring construction noise.

Tanah Lot water temple in Bali Indonesia

Some of the best things to do in Canggu include visiting Pura Tanah Lot, one of the top attractions in Bali and just a 20-30 minute car or scooter ride from Canggu. This magnificent Hindu shrine often appears as if it is floating due to the high tide, but once the tide drops worshippers can walk across the tombolo to the temple itself.

Canggu is one of the most popular places to surf in Bali, with an incredible number of beach breaks to suit all levels of surfers up and down this part of the western coast. You can take one-off beginner’s lessons or rent a board from one of the beach shacks to go for a free surf.

Splash waterpark children's section at Finns Recreation Club in Canggu Bali

Canggu is also home to some of the best beach clubs in Bali – head to Finns, The Lawn, COMO Beach Club or my personal favourite, La Brisa.

If you are on a more leisurely schedule and have more than 14 days in Bali then you could easily spend up to a week in Canggu. That being said, there are no major “sightseeing” tourist landmarks beyond Tanah Lot and Batu Bolong Temple (which are located in the same compound).

HoiAn by MuiVe Vietnamese restaurant in Canggu Pererenan Bali

Canggu is one of those places where you can truly wind down and plan your days around café hopping, surfing, massages and sunset drinks. The perfect place to begin your 2 weeks in Bali! Read my Canggu destination guide here.

Gajah Mina Statue at Pererenan Beach in Canggu Bali

Where to stay in Canggu : We love the Pererenan area as it is slightly out of the hustle and bustle with easy access to incredible coffee shops. The surf at Pererenan Beach is ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers, with plenty of right and left handers peeling down the shoreline. Those looking for even more Canggu beaches can venture towards Echo Beach or Canggu Beach, or simply go for a dip in the pool at your boutique hotel or villa.

Bedroom at MASMARA Resort in Pererenan Canggu in Bali

We have stayed at and recommend MASMARA Resort in Pererenan , a stunning luxury boutique hotel in Canggu just 150 metres (a 1-minute walk!) from the beach. The rooms feature plenty of warm wood finishing complete with cozy textiles and funky prints.

The wonderful staff at this boutique property in Canggu made us feel right at home. We loved the on-site restaurant and dining on the open-air deck at sunset. MASMARA has a small number of ground floor garden view rooms as well as a few two-bedroom suites and a three-bedroom suite if you are traveling with friends or family. Click here to check availability and rates at MASMARA Resort in Canggu .

Casa Gypsy private villa in Pererenan Canggu living area

Another option in Pererenan is Casa Gypsy , a dreamy 2-bedroom private villa that we loved. Tucked away off the main road about 10 minutes from the beach, Casa Gypsy features an open-air lounge and kitchen, airy and spacious bedrooms with their own ensuite bathrooms, and a pool which we found ourselves in almost every afternoon.

Casa Gypsy private villa in Pererenan Canggu private pool

Perfect for independent travelers and families who want a little privacy and don’t mind not having access to an on-site restaurant or reception/concierge, the villa was cleaned every day and the management company was always extremely responsive – they can also provide high chairs, pool fences and baby cots for an extra fee. Click here to check rates and availability at Casa Gypsy.

Pangkung Sari B and B in Berawa Canggu bedroom

Another low-key, underrated boutique hotel in Canggu to check out is Pangkung Sari , located on a quiet street overlooking the rice paddies in inland Berawa. This cozy bed & breakfast only has 6 rooms and is within walking distance from several restaurants and cafes; Pangkung Sari also has a small on-site restaurant serving up some delicious food and coffee.

Pangkung Sari B and B in Berawa Canggu rice paddy view

The rooms are basic but very clean, and each room has a small patio area with a view of the neighboring rice field. What really impressed us at Pangkung Sari is the extremely warm and accommodating staff who were so kind and friendly to our family. As the rooms are located side-by-side and the property is fairly quiet, this may be better suited to solo travelers, couples and families traveling with older children. Click here to check rates and availability at Pangkung Sari or head here to check out other highly-rated hotel options in Canggu .

Looking for even more Canggu boutique hotel options? Other accommodation options in Canggu that we considered staying at include The Bed By the Sea (an adults-only small hotel within walking distance of Echo Beach), and ZIN Canggu Resort & Villas (stunning rooms a stone’s throw from the busy Batu Bolong main road).

An alternative to Canggu: Sanur Sanur on the eastern side of Denpasar is another popular option for a beach destination that is close to the international airport. People often say that Sanur is a “calmer” and less-crowded version of Canggu which makes it popular with families traveling with young children, or couples looking for a quiet beach getaway without compromising on access to restaurants and cafes. We loved the waterfront promenade which made it easier to get around on foot and bicycle without encountering the heavy traffic that Canggu is often known for. Read my guide to visiting Sanur here .

2. 3 days in Munduk

Next up is Munduk, located 70 kilometres or two hours by car from Canggu. Munduk is an underrated village high up in the hills of central Bali.

The nearby Bedugul is also home to one of the holiest Hindu temple complexes in Bali – Pura Ulun Danu Beratan.

Traveling to Munduk offers you a chance to slow down during your 2 weeks in Bali and immerse yourself in nature. The landscapes and visual scenery is not always what comes to mind when people think of Bali.

Coffee tasting at Wanagiri Coffee Plantation in north Bali Indonesia

Spend 3 days in Munduk sipping on a homegrown cup of coffee at one of the local plantations (which you can visit and tour), get cultured at the Ulun Danu Beratan water temple and visit uncrowded waterfall after waterfall.

Banyumala Twin Waterfall near Munduk in Bali Indonesia lone exposure

Don’t miss the Bayumala twin waterfall (bring your swimsuit!) or cluster of streams at the peaceful Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfalls.

This area of Bali is also famous for its strawberry farms which offer visitors the opportunity to pick their own fruit. Read my guide on things to do in Munduk here.

Where to stay in Munduk: Giriwood is a small, 20-room boutique hotel in North Bali, located about mid-way between Munduk and Bedugul. Its location makes it perfect for chasing waterfalls in Munduk, or visiting the famous water temple in Bedugul.

Infinity pool in Munduk at Giriwood Hotel Bali

We loved the view of the mountains and Wanagiri valley from the hotel’s infinity pool, and the lush jungle views from the bedrooms. The hotel is extremely reasonably priced (we found that hotels in northern Bali tended to be lower than the south in general), and it was the perfect place to stay near Munduk for 3 nights.

The on-site restaurant was fantastic – we enjoyed the rice bowls and excellent breakfast spread. Highly recommended for anyone traveling to Munduk! Click here to check availability and rates at Giriwood Hotel or check out rates and availability at other highly-rated Munduk hotels here!

Looking for even more Munduk boutique hotel options? Other accommodation options in Munduk that we considered staying at include Munduk Moding Plantation (home to probably the most photographed infinity pool in Bali), Sanak Retreat (eco-luxe wooden bungalows overlooking the rice fields with on-site spa) and Munduk Cabins (luxury treehouse-esque hotel with jungle views).

3. 4 days in Ubud

Let’s be honest, it wouldn’t be a first-timer’s guide to Bali without setting aside a few days to visit Ubud.

Palm tree on Campuhan Ridge Walk in Ubud Bali

Ubud is one of the cornerstone tourist destinations in Bali, and often touted as the cultural capital of the island. To get there from Munduk you’ll need to hop in the car for a 70-kilometre or 2-hour car ride.

Crowds at Kanto Lampo waterfall in Ubud Bali

Brace yourself, as the once-peaceful town of Ubud is now a major tourism destination in Bali, and as such can be very crowded and hectic within the city center and at popular tourism landmarks.

My advice? Mentally prepare yourself and go with the flow! There are some incredible tourist experiences and landmarks in Ubud that you’ll want to check out – however, the vast majority of visitors to Ubud tend to go to the same places, so look beyond the obvious and you can always find a quiet corner or two to catch your breath after a busy day of sightseeing.

A few Ubud attractions that you won’t want to miss include watching a traditional Kecak fire trance performance where dancers act out scenes from Hindu folklore.

You should also plan on spending an afternoon at the magnificent Tegallalang rice terraces, a short 15-20 minute drive from Ubud proper. There are a number of restaurants and cafes overlooking the fields, we enjoyed our time at Tis Cafe which was laid back and less crowded than some others.

Take the time to venture out to observe the purification rituals at Pura Tirta Empul, one of the most sacred temples in Bali. Dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu, Tirta Empul features holy springs with water that is believed to purify devotees in a ritual known as “melukat”.

Campuhan Ridge walk drone photo in Ubud Bali

Grab your walking shoes and go for a leisurely stroll along Campuhan Ridge, a 2-kilometre long stone-paved path that winds and weaves along the outskirts of Ubud town.

Ubud is also famous for being an international hub for yoga lovers who flock to the Island of the Gods for classes, workshops, retreats and teacher trainings. There are a number of excellent yoga studios in Ubud including The Yoga Barn, Radiantly Alive and the upscale Fivelements Retreat.

Gates of Heaven at Pura Lempuyang in Bali Indonesia

Optional : Once you are in Ubud, you may also want to set aside one full day to embark on a day trip to East Bali as it is home to some of the top Bali attractions and landmarks.

Lahangan Sweet viewpoint in East Bali Indonesia

The full day trip from Ubud should take you 10 hours at the minimum (if you don’t queue for a photo in front of the gates – you could be waiting for up to 4 hours!) and you can charter a car and driver for approximately 750,000-850,000 IDR for the day, or book a highly-rated private east Bali tour via Klook here.

Tirta Gangga palace in East Bali Indonesia

Start bright and early by heading on the 2-hour journey to Pura Lempuyang and the Gates of Heaven with Mount Agung dramatically looming in the background.

Taman Ujung water palace in East Bali Indonesia

You can then slowly make your way back towards Ubud by stopping at the Lahangan Sweet viewpoint before visiting the Tirta Gangga and Taman Ujung former water palaces. If you have more time, stop at Goa Lawah as your final stop to check out the colony of bats at this Hindu temple.

Note: This day trip is also do-able from Canggu but it will take at least 3 hours to get from Canggu to Pura Lempuyang. My recommendation would be to go on a Bali East Coast day trip from either Sanur or Ubud.

Interested in planning your Ubud stay? Here is my Ubud destination guide.

Poolside breakfast at Origin Ubud boutique hotel in Ubud Bali

Where to stay in Ubud: Origin Ubud was our home for 4 nights in Ubud, and boy did we feel right at home in this cozy boutique private villa – the staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. This incredibly spacious pool villa in Ubud was just a 5-10 minute walk from the main stretch where the majority of restaurants and bars are located.

We absolutely loved the daily made-to-order breakfast by the pool – such a treat! ( Psst : make sure you book your breakfast timeslot the night before). Reasonably-priced private pool villas located within walking distance to Ubud town are rare – though it could use with the odd touch-up here and there, we would happily go back and stay again! It is perfect for couples and independent travelers – click here to check availability and rates at Origin Ubud or head over here to see more hotel options in Ubud . Note: There is no on-site restaurant at Origin Ubud and when we visited in August 2022 only breakfast was being served, however they did mention that room service for lunch and dinner may be available again in the future.

Looking for even more Ubud boutique hotel options? Other accommodation options in Ubud that we considered staying at include 11 on Kajeng (a small boutique hotel within walking distance of the Ubud Palace and Saraswati Temple), The Sankara Resort (beautiful hotel 20 minutes from the city centre with an excellent on-site spa, provides a shuttle service into town) and Sapodilla Ubud (one of the top-rated boutique hotels in Ubud).

4. 3 days in Uluwatu

View of Bingin from Mu Bungalows in Bingin Uluwatu Bali

From Ubud, head to Uluwatu by private car – the drive will take approximately 2 hours. There are a few faces to Uluwatu – from the surf-crazed community that flocks to the coast to the honeymooners who book luxury cliffside resorts for a special getaway – there’s plenty of room in-between to find a piece of Uluwatu that resonates with you.

Reef pools at Uluwatu Beach in Bali Indonesia

We chose to end our 2 week Bali itinerary back at the beaches of Bali, this time further south of the island in the Bukit Peninsula. Unlike the golden and black-sand beaches of Canggu where you can kick off your Bali trip, you’ll find shimmering rock pools lining the coast as well as unique rock formations rising up along the seaside.

Cliffs of Uluwatu Temple in Bali Indonesia

There are a number of Uluwatu highlights that you won’t want to skip – the first being a visit to the revered Uluwatu Temple. The bougainvillea-strewn cliffs surrounding Uluwatu Temple create a magical setting for the otherwise fairly unassuming Hindu temple.

If you missed the Kecak performance in Ubud you will have another chance to observe the fire dance by the cliff at Uluwatu Temple during sunset.

For those of you who are looking forward to winding down after nearly 2 weeks of sightseeing in Bali, head straight to one of Uluwatu’s fantastic beaches – you can laze the day away while watching surfers carve the open face of pumping waves. We especially enjoyed our time at Dreamland Beach, Bingin Beach and Suluban Beach.

Surfers will lose their minds over the incredible number of breaks up and down this part of the western coast. Even if you don’t surf yourself, Uluwatu is a great place to watch advanced surfers carve waves and get barreled.

For more ideas for things to do in Uluwatu check out my full guide here .

Pool at Jepun Sari in Bingin Uluwatu Bali

Where to stay in Uluwatu: When you look up Uluwatu all you see are the iconic clifftop views that go on for days – but these can come with a seriously hefty price tag! We have previously stayed in Uluwatu in 2 hotels and 1 private villa, and while these properties do not have direct beach access they did have delightful sundrenched pools that we spent hours in.

Jepun Sari boutique hotel in Uluwatu Bali

The Jepun Sari Uluwatu is a stunning and quiet boutique property located about a 5-10 minute drive from the main “downtown” area of Uluwatu. As it only has a handful of rooms it is incredibly peaceful and private, and the rooms are practical and comfortable.

The décor is very modern with a splash of tropical touches, and we loved our stay in the poolside villa. Highly recommended for couples or independent travelers looking for a boutique hotel in Uluwatu – click here to check availability and rates at Jepun Sari Uluwatu . There is no on-site restaurant so head to the nearby Cashew Tree or Gooseberry to grab a bite to eat. The hotel can help you rent a scooter to get around as not much is within walking distance.

For the remainder of our 2 week Bali itinerary we booked ourselves into Gypsea Bali . This boutique Uluwatu hotel will seriously wow you – incredible service, gorgeous rooms and an amazing pool. It is a cruisy 10 minute walk from Bingin Beach and I could have easily spent a week or more here.

The restaurant serves up delicious Western and Balinese food, and it is also a stone’s throw from Gooseberry restaurant. You can’t go wrong with Gypsea Bali – click here to check availability and rates!

Casa Pantai private villa in Bingin Uluwatu pool

Visiting Uluwatu with friends and family? You might also want to consider this incredible 4-bedroom private villa in Bingin: Casa Pantai . It is located just steps away from the stairs down to Bingin Beach, Frencha Bakery and The Cashew Tree restaurant, and provides a full staff and daily cooked-to-order breakfast during your stay.

Each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and there is also a small kitchen area if you need access to a microwave, coffee machine, water dispenser and fridge. We also loved the huge pool complete with shallow children’s area. Click here to check rates and availability at Casa Pantai in Bingin.

Looking for even more Uluwatu boutique hotel options? Other accommodation options in Uluwatu that we considered staying at include The Elementum (stunning pool, rooms and a killer on-site restaurant), Origin Uluwatu (luxury glamping tents with modern, funky décor) and Legends Beachfront Resort (stunning cliffside boutique hotel with million dollar views). You can also explore some other highly-rated hotels in the area .

If you do choose to book on the cliff in Uluwatu, just be aware that you may need to walk down 100+ steps to get to beachfront properties – make sure you check before booking!

Is 2 weeks enough for Bali? 3 week Bali itinerary

Have more than 2 weeks in Bali? Lucky you! There are a number of options to extend your Bali holiday. One popular option is to head to the Nusa islands southeast of Bali – with an infant in tow we ruled out taking the speedboat out on sometimes choppy waters.

Kelingking Beach at Nusa Penida in Indonesia

However, if you have 3 weeks in Bali (or more) then you should definitely consider hopping in a boat and heading out to the nearby Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan, and Nusa Penida islands !

Aerial view with Gili islands and ocean, drone shot

Other options for your 3 week Bali itinerary include spending a few nights out at the Gili Islands (Gili Trawangan or “Gili T”, Gili Meno and Gili Air) off the coast of Lombok.

Drone photo of rice terraces in Sidemen Bali

Alternatively, head to the slightly quieter eastern end of Bali: Sidemen , Candi Dasa (or Candidasa) and Amed .

We also thoroughly enjoyed our time in Sanur , a beachside destination on the east coast just an hour from Denpasar and the international airport. The laidback seaside town is perfect for travelers and families looking for a slower pace and fewer crowds, and offers a long walking and cycling path that spans the coast. We loved hopping on our rental bikes and heading out for a morning coffee, followed by time on the white sand beach and pool at Tandjung Sari hotel – the original Bali boutique hotel. Read my hotel review of Tandjung Sari here .

Aerial view of Pulau Padar island in between Komodo and Rinca Islands near Labuan Bajo in Indonesia

Feeling adventurous? Another option to extend your Bali itinerary is to hop on a domestic flight to Labuan Bajo airport and embark on a multi-day cruise to explore Komodo Island to see the dragons, venture on to Flores Island and visit the pink-sand beaches on Padar Island .

Tips for traveling to Bali with a baby

There’s a reason why everyone travels to Bali with children – it’s because Bali is so child-friendly! The plethora of resorts with kids clubs, restaurants with play areas, water parks and experienced nannies-for-hire means that parents are set up for a successful family holiday. After some trial-and-error we managed to make the trip work for us – here are some top tips for visiting Bali with a baby.

Worried about bringing too much luggage? You can rent any baby gear including travel cots and car seats for around US$5 or AU$7 a day. We used Bali Baby Hire – it was easy to coordinate the equipment booking via e-mail and they even dropped off and picked up all the gear for us.

Book a driver with a child car seat. I recommend getting in touch with Gede or Ani/Sudewa (numbers at the top of this Bali 2 week itinerary travel guide) who can provide a forward-facing child car seat.

Stock up on diapers and baby food. You can easily buy diapers and baby food from Carrefour near the international airport or from the local Pepitos supermarkets. We like to bring liquid paracetamol, probiotic drops or powder which can be added to drinks and food, reef-safe children’s sunscreen and plenty of Stasher bags as these are things that we often find difficult to buy overseas. You can find some of my favourite travel essentials here , and get 5% off your order with this code: CVP6670 .

Be prepared if your baby gets sick in Bali. Some hotels will have a pediatrician on call, make sure you ask if your baby requires medical attention. Otherwise, head straight to one of the BIMC private hospitals (locations across Bali).

Many hotels may not have a cot, or may be adults-only. Double check with hotels if they are able to provide a cot or extra bed, as they might not even if the hotel’s booking page says that they can. MASMARA Resort in Canggu provided one, Giriwood in Munduk and Jepun Sari in Uluwatu were both not able to provide a baby cot but we brought our own rental, and Gypsea Bali and Tandjung Sari were able to provide one in the room. Make sure you contact the hotel a few days before your check-in date to confirm that they received your request for a cot/extra bed and are able to provide one.

The vast majority of restaurants and beach/day clubs in Bali have high chairs. If you prefer to bring your own, I like the Munchkin portable travel booster seat over unstructured soft travel seats like the Totseat.

Rental bicycle with child seat in Sanur Bali

Leave the stroller at home. The sidewalk and roads in most places across Bali are non-existent or very uneven, so it’s likely to be more of a hassle to bring the stroller out. Instead, use a structured carrier or a sling (I like the MiniMonkey mini sling which folds down to the size of an iPhone and is great for warm weather) for short distances. In places like Sanur you can rent a bicycle with a child seat if your little one is able to sit independently.

Shallow wading pool at MASMARA Resort in Canggu Bali

Traveling with a toddler? You won’t regret booking a hotel or visiting a Bali day club that has a pool with a shallow wading section .

Ulu Cliffhouse in Bali Indonesia pool area

Bring a couple of pool toys and that will kill a few hours (and burn off some energy!).

Last but absolutely not least, here is my top tip for traveling to Bali with kids: need an extra pair of hands to wrangle your little one? There are many experienced nannies in Bali who you can hire by the hour (or day, or even your whole trip) to help you out so that you can actually sit down and eat your meal, go for a surf, practice yoga or go for a massage.

I highly recommend getting in touch with Febri from Feby’lous Bali Nanny or Ani from Mom’s Nanny Care – we have personally used both services. I recommend spending time with your nanny over the first few days to evaluate if it is a good fit for both parties, and to make sure you are comfortable leaving your kid(s) alone with the nanny.

Our lovely nanny mostly joined us during lunch time so that we could sit down and have our meal and stayed at our hotel while our baby napped. This gave us the opportunity to head out and do some exploring. It is also possible to ask your nanny to help with bedtime and stay at the hotel so that you can venture out for dinner.

Rates vary from 65,000 IDR per hour and up and most nannies ask that you book a minimum of 5 hours/day, a fee may apply if you need your nanny to travel beyond Canggu/Uluwatu as most nannies live and are based around Denpasar.

I hope this Bali 2 week itinerary helps you to better plan your dream Bali trip, and gives you an idea of how long to stay in each place, what to do and where to stay. You can easily shave off a few days here and there or skip a destination to convert this into a 10 day Bali itinerary.

Quick recap before you book your Bali holiday: Where to stay in Canggu: We really enjoyed our time at MASMARA Resort in Canggu . The room was spacious, tastefully-decorated and extremely comfortable. It was a 2-minute walk to Pererenan Beach and was within walking distance to tons of excellent cafes, bakeries and restaurants. Click here to check availability and rates at MASMARA Resort in Canggu . For a little more privacy and access to a small kitchen check out Casa Gypsy , a 2-bedroom villa and pool located about 10 minutes from the beach. Alternatively, independent travelers or couples might also like Pangkung Sari , a small boutique B&B in Berawa with rooms that feature a rice paddy view. Head here to check out other highly-rated hotel options in Canggu . We also considered staying at , The Bed By the Sea (adults only) and ZIN Canggu Resort & Villas . Where to stay in Munduk: We opted to stay in the Munduk/Wanagiri area instead of in Bedugul. I highly recommend Giriwood Hotel which has some incredible rooms with balconies overlooking the misty mountains. The on-site restaurant is a great option as there are few restaurants and cafes in the area. Click here to check availability and rates at Giriwood Hotel or check out rates and availability at other highly-rated Munduk hotels here! We also considered staying at Munduk Moding Plantation , Sanak Retreat and Munduk Cabins . Where to stay in Ubud: For maximum convenience I recommend staying close to Ubud town where the vast majority of cafes and restaurants are located. We enjoyed our stay at the boutique Origin Ubud which only has a handful of private pool villas. There is no restaurant but they serve a huge made-to-order breakfast by the pool – the mie goreng noodles were to die for! It is perfect for couples and independent travelers – click here to check availability and rates at Origin Ubud or head over here to see more hotel options in Ubud . We also considered staying at 11 on Kajeng , The Sankara Resort and Sapodilla Ubud . Where to stay in Uluwatu: If there’s one thing you take away from this 2 week Bali guide let it be that you need to book accommodation in advance! Especially in Uluwatu where the boutique hotels often book up months or a year in advance. We enjoyed our time at Jepun Sari Uluwatu which offers lovely little luxury cabins in Bingin, and also recommend Gypsea Bali which has beautifully-designed boho-inspired bungalows. Both hotels in Uluwatu have pools or you can venture to Bingin beach. Click here to check availability and rates at Jepun Sari Uluwatu and click here to check availability and rates at Gypsea Bali. Here are some other highly-rated hotels in Uluwatu – we also considered staying at The Elementum , Origin Uluwatu and Legends Beachfront Resort . Where to stay in Sanur: If you are headed to Sanur instead of (or in addition to) Canggu, we highly recommend booking your stay at Tandjung Sari , a family-owned boutique hotel in Sanur with a location that can’t be beat, stunning spacious rooms and a private beach area. Check the rates and availability at Tandjung Sari or read my full hotel review here . We also considered staying at Maya Sanur , Andaz Bali and Hyatt Regency Bali .

How much is a trip to Bali: [Cost for 2024]

Sofía Pozuelo
UPDATED: 17/01/2023

Wondering how much is a trip to Bali? Well, the cost of a trip to Bali can vary. Being a relatively developed island in Southeast Asia, there are all different kinds of establishments, from small local shops to luxurious places. Regardless of your preferences or preferred method of travel, this article will give you a general idea of how much a trip to Bali costs.

To accomplish this, I'll go over the initial costs of planning a trip to Bali: airfare, hotels, food, activities, transportation, and travel insurance. Although there are different price options available once you arrive at your destination, I imagine that flying to Bali won't be inexpensive. I will also add an expense table at the end of the article that will be very helpful for determining your trip's budget.

How much is a trip to bali.

Next, we are going to review the budget you need to travel to Bali by analyzing the prices of each part of the trip. Keep in mind that these may vary depending on the season or your way of traveling.

1. How much is a flight to Bali?

Purchasing airfare is one of the most expensive aspects of flying to Bali. Given the recent sharp increase in flight costs, tickets to paradise are not inexpensive. The airline you choose, the season you plan to travel, and the number of layovers you are willing to take will all have a significant impact on the price of the ticket.

My recommendation is that you look at flights on Skyscanner.com . In case you still don’t know, it is a platform for comparing flights. You only have to enter the place of departure, the place of destination and the dates. After doing a scan, it will show you all the available flights. Once you have chosen your flight, I always advise booking it on the same airline.

The airlines that offer flights to Bali from Spain with only one layover are Qatar Airways, Emirates, Turkish Airlines and Iberia (operated by Qatar Airways). These types of flights usually cost an average of €1,000 per person round trip. Sometimes, depending on when you are going to travel to Bali , they can be more affordable or even more expensive.

There is another option that may be cheaper: buy a round-trip flight to Jakarta (Indonesia’s capital) and then separately buy internal flights from Jakarta to Bali. There is also the option of flying to other Southeast Asian capitals, such as Bangkok or Singapore, and then flying to Bali. You have to see if the price difference is worth it.

In general, as you can see, the price of the plane ticket to Bali is quite expensive. The good news is that, once you are at the destination, you can save as much as you want.

2. How much are hotels in Bali

Once you have booked your flights, you won’t need to worry as much about your travel budget because Bali offers possibilities for all kinds of travelers.

For instance, the cost of a night’s sleep in Bali might range from $5 in a shared dorm to $200+ in one of its many luxurious hotels.

By the way, if you’re still not sure which area of the island to stay in, don’t miss my guide on where to stay in Bali .

Below, you can see the average price of hotels in Bali that I recommend booking through Booking.com .

How much does a night at a hostel or homestay in Bali cost?

As I previously stated, a shared hostel room can cost as little as $5 per night. Breakfast is frequently already included in the price. Don’t worry if you are traveling on a tight budget but still don’t want to share a room. Private rooms in homestays (family lodging) start around $10 per night in Bali. Amazing!

Do not be fooled by the price; hostels or homestays in Bali that are less expensive are not of worse quality. Of course, there are all kinds of things everywhere, but it is normal for affordable places to be excellent in terms of cleanliness, services, staff, etc. Now, you won’t find luxurious amenities, but you’ll still feel at home. I can say this from experience.

Price of a hostel or homestay in Bali: from $10 per night (2 people).

Average price for a medium-budget hotel in Bali

Although staying in a homestay or hostel is a very good and affordable option, if you are willing to spend a bit more, you can stay in a hotel or guesthouse. These usually have more amenities, better services, and even a garden with a shared pool.

The price per night of a room in this type of accommodation usually starts at around $25. You can also find them more expensive.

Price of an average hotel or guesthouse in Bali: from $25 per night (2 people).

Price for per night in a luxurious hotel in Bali

If you have a bigger budget for your trip to Bali, you can sleep in fantastic resorts and hotels for around $75 per night. Although, if you want to stay in one of the best hotels in Bali , expect to dish out $150 per night or more.

Price of a luxury hotel or resort in Bali: from $75 per night (2 people).

3. Price of food in Bali, Indonesia

Eating out in Bali is, in principle, very affordable. However, the price can vary greatly depending on where you go, as it happens with hotels. Going to a local restaurant is not the same as going to a restaurant more for foreigners.

To give you an idea, the price of a dish in a local cafeteria usually costs around 25,000 IDR ($1.50). That’s right, you can eat delicious Indonesian dishes like nasi goreng, mie goreng, or nasi campur for under $2.

Although I encourage you to try the local food, I’m sure you’ll also want to go to a more upscale cafe or restaurant. In these shops, the dish usually costs a minimum of 75,000 IDR ($4.60). By adding a starter, drink and service fee, expect to pay a minimum of 140,000 IDR ($8.50) per person.

As you can see, eating out in Bali is more affordable than it is in places like the US, even if it isn’t a local restaurant. As a result, you shouldn’t be too concerned about the price of food. However, if you don’t watch out and eat every meal in tourist-oriented establishments, your food expenditure can increase significantly.

Taking into account that breakfast is included in your hotel stay and you have a meal in a more local place and another meal in an upscale place, in addition to some beer or ice cream that you have between meals, you can expect to spend $20 a day on food.

4. Entrance fees for places and activities in Bali

Tickets to the different places to visit in Bali are usually quite inexpensive. On the other hand, some activities, such as going to the beach or visiting certain rice fields, are totally free.

To give you an idea of how much it costs to travel to Bali, here are the entrance fees to some of the main tourist attractions in Bali:

– Visit waterfalls in Bali : from 15.000 to 50.000 IDR. – Entrance fee to temples in Bali : from 30.000 to 100.000 IDR. – Visit beaches in Bali : free – 10.000 IDR. – Entrance fee to Ubud Monkey Forest: from 80.000 to 100.000 IDR.

As you can see, the ticket price never exceeds $6. However, other activities, such as hiking to Mount Batur , diving in Bali, or booking a guided tour, are usually more expensive.

5. Price of transportation in Bali

You can explore Bali in a variety of ways: by renting a motorcycle, using transport apps, hiring a car with a driver, etc. Depending on the way in which you are going to move around the island, you will have to add more or less money to your budget to travel to Bali.

How much does motorbike rental cost?

The most affordable option to get around Bali is to rent a motorcycle and visit the island for free. The price of the motorcycle rental is around $4 per day, but if you are going to rent it for a longer period of time, you can get a better deal. To give you an idea, I paid about $35 a month for my motorcycle.

On the other hand, the price of gasoline in Bali is usually quite cheap. Right now, a liter of gasoline costs around 12,000 IDR ($0.75). On my last trip, the price was even lower, but as you know, the price of gasoline is always fluctuating.

By the way, if you are going to drive a car or motorcycle in Bali, remember to get an international drivers license.

Price of Grab/Gojek or private driver

Bali can be difficult to get around if you’ve never riden a motorcycle before. If that’s the case, it’s best to use another type of transportation. I advise either hiring a private driver or using Grab or Gojek apps (similar to Uber). You should be aware that both solutions cost extra money.

For short distances or transfers between two locations (from Canggu to Ubud , for example), you can use Grab or Gojek. It is functional just like the Uber. It always gives you the option of choosing a motorcycle or a car. The first option is cheaper.

To take tours of different tourist spots on the island, where you will be visiting waterfalls, temples, etc., it is advisable to hire a car with a driver. The price usually starts at €40 per day. You can book your car with driver here in advance .

Finally, you can choose to move through organized tours. You can check the Civitatis and GetYourGuide pages to see the different excursions available in Bali.

6. How much is a trip to Bali: travel insurance

A very important step when planning a trip to Bali is to book the best health insurance to travel to Indonesia . Although having insurance is no longer one of the requirements to enter Indonesia , I highly recommend purchasing a policy because if you are unlucky enough to have an accident or sudden illness, the insurer will arrange medical visits for you and cover all expenses.

The price of travel insurance for Bali costs a few dollars per day. Also, for being a reader of this travel blog, you can take advantage of a 5% discount on your next policy .

How much is a trip to Bali: Breakdown

In the following table you can see the average price of a trip to Bali for 10 days .

The price of a 10-day trip to Bali would be approximately $1,819.24, including flights. If you are going to do this trip as a couple, you can divide the hotel and transportation expenses between the two of you; therefore, the cost would be $1,634.24 per person.

I considered the use of a motorcycle as transportation as well as staying in moderately priced hotels when determining this budget. The price of your vacation to Bali will increase if you choose to stay in hotels with additional facilities, travel with a driver/guide, or participate in more expensive activities.

On the other hand, there is also the possibility of spending less money. You just have to opt for cheaper accommodation and eat most meals at local restaurants.

If you are going to do a 7-day trip to Bali or a 15-day trip to Bali (or other lengths of time), you only have to take the price per day or night and do your own calculation.

Do not miss my Indonesia travel guide if you are planning a trip to this beautiful country.
