• 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.

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).

Cost of Traveling to Bali

How much does it cost to visit bali, budget | mid-range | affordable luxury | luxury & ultra luxury, bali holiday – always great value for money.

Affordability is sometimes the most influential factor in selecting an overseas destination. That’ s why the topic of how much does it cost to visit Bali is often asked.

Everything is available. Street food for USD 1 and fine dinging for USD100+. You can stay for USD 10 per night in a decent room, or spend a few thousand dollars in one of the ultra luxury resorts, or spend even more in a villa estate. 

Most common questions:

• “Bali travel cost”
• “Average expenses for a trip to Bali?”
• “Bali trip budget and expenses?”
• “How much money for a week in Bali?”
• “Bali vacation cost per person?”
• “Cost of traveling to Bali for two weeks?”
• “Bali travel expenses and tips?”
• “Budget-friendly Bali trip itinerary?”
• “Accommodation and food costs in Bali?”

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.

Itinerary 5: 7-Day Island Hopping Tour to Bali and Gili Islands

This itinerary is specially customized for island lovers, offering both classic experiences in Bali and exploring the hidden gems of remote Gili Island.

Here is the brief itinerary: 2 nights in Ubud, 2 nights in Sanur, and 2 nights in Gili Air.

• Day 1: Arrival in Bali, transfer to Ubud, and have some free time in Ubud (spa or market visit)
• Day 2: Ubud Volkswagen safari tour to Gunung Kawi Sebatu, Tegalalang Rice Terrace, and the village of Tohpati
• Day 3: Transfer to Jimbaran Bay for a sunset cruise with dinner on Jimbaran Bay, and check in Sanur.
• Day 4: Take a ferry to the Gili Air and discover the island by bike
• Day 5: Snorkeling trip around the Gili Islands
• Day 6: Unwind in the free morning and take an afternoon ferry to Bali
• Day 7: Leave from Bali and fly to your next destination.

You would have a glimpse of Ubud by a day Volkswagen safari to its temple, rice terrace, and local villages.

You would head over to car-free Gili Air, followed by an immersive sunset cruise on Jimbaran Bay. Gili Air is the best chill-out island, while if you're looking for bustling nightlife, go to the party island—Gili Trawangan.

You could basket on the postcard-perfect beaches, cycle around the coastline, and go on a snorkeling trip to spot sea turtles and vibrant marine life.

Then return to Bali and fly to your next destination!

7 days is a little bit rushed to explore both Bali and Gili Islands. For a more comfortable beach vacation, check our 10-day itineraries .

How to Travel to Indonesia from the US

If convenience and speed are your priorities, air travel is the way to go. Several airlines offer direct flights from the US to Bali, including Garuda Indonesia, United Airlines, and Delta Air Lines. The flight duration from the US to Bali typically ranges from 18 to 20 hours.

Upon landing at Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali, you can choose from various transportation options to reach your hotel or resort. Taxis are the most convenient but pricier choice, while buses and shuttles are more affordable alternatives, though they might take a bit longer.

While sea travel to Bali from the US is less common, it can be a more budget-friendly option. However, it comes with some challenges. There are no direct ferry services from the US to Bali. Instead, you would need to take a ferry to Singapore or Hong Kong and then transfer to another ferry bound for Bali.

The sea journey from the US to Singapore or Hong Kong typically takes 7 to 10 days, and the ferry ride from either of these cities to Bali takes approximately 1 to 2 days. It’s worth noting that sea travel can be arduous and uncomfortable, and reliable ferry services may be hard to find.

Please note: Sea travel to Bali from the US is not recommended for most travelers due to its lengthy and demanding nature.

• Bali is a popular tourist destination but lacks direct US flights; travelers must book one-stop or two-stop itineraries.
• There are options to fly on any of the three major airline alliances: oneworld, SkyTeam, or Star Alliance.
• There are also other options, such as flying exclusively on low-cost carriers or even embarking on Airbus A380-only trips.

Bali, a province of Indonesia, has become one of the hot spots of tourism, attracting visitors from all over the world, including the United States (US). According to the Statistics of Bali Province page, the island welcomed 401,870 foreign visitors who flew directly to Bali in November 2023. The page also stated that 2,626 international flights and 2,811 domestic flights were departing Bali during the same month. Cumulatively, there were 28,686 and 33,395 international and domestic flights, respectively, between January and November 2023.

The main airport serving Bali, Indonesia, is I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, also known as Denpasar International Airport (DPS). In 2022, DPS served 12.5 million passenger movements, marking an increase of 231% compared to a year prior, when the airport welcomed 3.7 million passengers.

However, there is one problem: the US has no direct services to Bali, with no US or international airline flying to the Indonesian island directly. Thus, travelers looking to fly to the destination have to look at one-stop or two-stop itineraries. Here are some of the best ways to get to the island if you book a flight in February 2024.

1 Low-cost trip around the world

Starting point: new york john f. kennedy international airport (jfk).

Flights on:

• Norse Atlantic Airways
• Batik Air Malaysia

The first flight on this itinerary will be between New York John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Paris Charles De Gaulle International Airport (CDG). With the journey being based on flights with low-cost carriers, the challenge will be to find another no-frill airline to hop on at CDG since many low-cost carriers operate flights out of other airports in the city. An alternative flying between JFK and CDG could be JetBlue.

However, to continuously move east, easyJet serves the next perfect stop-over destination: Naples Airport (NAP). From thereon, flydubai will be the next airline, with the United Arab Emirates (UAE)-based airline flying to Dubai International Airport (DXB). While Emirates serves a direct flight between DXB and DPS, the airline is no low-cost carrier, so the next flight would be from DXB to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) with Batik Air Malaysia.

The last low-cost carrier on the itinerary will be AirAsia, which, together with AirAsia X, operates four flights, most of them daily, to DPS during February 2024. In total, the journey is 11,689 miles (18,811 kilometers) long, according to Great Circle Mapper.

Top 5: Europe's Largest Low Cost Airlines By Number Of Routes

These five carriers have nearly 5,000 September routes in total.

2 oneworld mileage run

Starting point: dallas fort/worth international airport (dfw).

• Jetstar Airways

If you are a loyal oneworld alliance member, which includes such airlines as American Airlines, British Airways, Iberia, Qatar Airways, and Qantas, reaching Bali from Dallas Fort/Worth International Airport (DFW) is relatively easy and unlike the previous journey, only involves two stops. That is because Qantas directly flies between DFW and Sydney Airport (SYD).

There are a few options from SYD: continue the journey with Qantas, get a cheaper ticket on Jetstar Airways or Batik Air Malaysia, or fly with Virgin Australia. If you continue to collect miles on oneworld alliance loyalty cards, the option is to go with either Qantas or Jetstar. Great Circle Mapper showed the distance from DFW to SYD and DPS to be 11,448 mi (18,423 km).

Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphires are the tiers to strive for within the oneworld Alliance.

3 SkyTeam mileage run

Starting point: seattle tacoma international airport (sea).

• Delta Air Lines

SkyTeam is another alliance with many airlines based in all reaches of the world. With the goal to reach DPS and earn as many miles as possible, one starting option is Seattle Tacoma International Airport (SEA), a hub for Delta Air Lines. From there, the realistic option is to go west and board a flight to Seoul Incheon International Airport (ICN), South Korea.

Two options exist to continue collecting miles on SkyTeam: Korean Air or Garuda Indonesia. Both airlines offer direct flights between ICN and DPS, with both carriers utilizing the Airbus A330-300. While it will be up to you, the distance separating the three airports is 8,478 mi (13,644 km).

A Complete Guide To Elite Status In The SkyTeam Alliance

The program offers two tiers of Elite and Elite Plus, with good benefits at both levels.

4 Star Alliance mileage run

Starting point: san francisco international airport (sfo).

• United Airlines
• Singapore Airlines

The last on the airline alliance list is Star Alliance, which is the home to such carriers as Air Canada, United Airlines, the Lufthansa Group, Turkish Airlines, Singapore Airlines, and others. There are two options: to either go east or west, with Singapore Airlines and Turkish Airlines offering direct flights to Bali from their Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) and Istanbul Airport (IST) hubs, respectively.

However, missing such a ' jewel ' destination as SIN would be a sin, so a proper Star Alliance mileage run to DPS begins at San Francisco International Airport (SFO), from where United Airlines offers a direct flight to Singapore. While there are plenty of options between SIN and DPS, including KLM flying from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS) to SIN and then to DPS, Singapore Airlines offers flights between the two airports even on the Boeing 787, which will be the option to go for to reach Bali. The journey distance is 9,483 mi (15,261 km).

A Complete Guide To Elite Status In The Star Alliance

The real benefits with Star Alliance come with Gold status.

5 Emirates Airbus A380 flights

Starting point: houston george bush intercontinental airport (iah).

Interestingly, it is possible to fly between the US and Bali solely on Airbus A380s. One of the most direct options, with only a single stop on the journey, is to fly with Emirates, which operates from several US destinations using the Airbus A380, including Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH).

Naturally, the next stop on the journey is DXB, from where the carrier offers a direct flight to DPS. At the same time, the journey is the longest on the list at 12,821 mi (20,633 km), yet the comfort offered by Emirates' premium economy, business, or first class would offset the tiredness after such a long journey.

Emirates Reaffirms The Airbus A380 Will Fly Until The 2040s With No Suitable Replacement

Tim Clark, the President of Emirates, reiterated the airline's long-term commitment to its flagship aircraft, the Airbus A380.

Accommodations

When it comes to accommodation, Bali has it all. From world-class luxury villas with infinity pools and jungle views, to a single bed in a shared dorm room of a hostel. For the sake of this article, I’ve estimated the average nightly price to be $80, which is what you can expect to pay for a 3-star nice hotel in a central location. However, this price can both inflate and deflate drastically depending on your travel style. Free WiFi is included in all accommodations.

Here are a few recommendations depending on what you are looking for. Regardless of which country you’re from, make sure you apply for a  credit card with no foreign exchange fees  before you depart.

Hostels  

Bali’s hostels are definitely the cheapest choice. Dorm rooms will have the lowest cost but you can get some nice private rooms as well. Dorm options average at about $8/night while private rooms can be found for $20/night and up. I’ve written a detailed guide on the best hostels in Bali which covers Ubud, Seminyak, Canggu, and Kuta, so check that out now.

Recommendations: Wayan Family Homestay II (Ubud), M Boutique Hostel (Seminyak), The Jungle House (Canggu).

Homestays  

Balinese homestays are basically like staying in a bed and breakfast. Travellers will stay on a local family’s property in a private room with breakfast included. These properties are usually basic, but clean, comfortable, and homey. Average nightly costs are about $35/night.

Recommendations: Ujung Ubud Guesthouse (Ubud), Nadialit (Seminyak), Wita Homestay (Canggu)

Midrange Hotels  

Bali has plenty of nice midrange hotels with good amenities and in great locations. Prices can range quite a bit, but it’s easy to find a room for about $100/night.

Recommendations: The Sungu Resort and Spa (Ubud), U Passha Seminyak Bali (Seminyak), Canggu Beach Apartments (Canggu)

Luxury Hotels and Villas  

If you have ever wanted to really splurge on a luxury hotel, then Bali is the place to do it. From elegant villas to resorts. Bali does luxury like nowhere else.

Recommendations:   Viceroy Bali (Ubud), W Bali (Seminyak), Ametis Villa (Canggu)

If you have the right credit card, you can save a fair amount of money on hotels. Americans should strongly consider the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express Card since you can earn up to 95,000 Marriott Bonvoy points and $300 back at U.S. restaurants as a welcome bonus . Canadians should consider the Marriott Bonvoy American Express , which gives you up to 75,000 Marriott Bonvoy points. That’s enough points for a few free nights at some hotels, which could easily have a value of over $500.

Local transportation

Local transportation is the biggest hassle when travelling through Bali. Public transit is non-existent and transfers can get pretty pricey.

The most affordable and easiest way to travel around the island of Bali is by motorbike. While it is the best deal money-wise, it can be dangerous and should not be considered if you have no motorbike driving experience. Keep in mind if you plan on renting a motorbike in Bali, you will need an international driver’s license. While it is not necessary for renting purposes (they just need a copy of your passport). Police will pull you over to check. The average price for renting a motorbike in Bali is between US$20-$30 for the week. Make sure to ask around to find a reputable place, and be sure to check the bike over ahead of time for any scratches or damage so you don’t get the blame upon return.

For those who don’t want to rent a motorbike, expect to pay significantly more to get around as you will have to rely on local drivers.

Uber does exist, however, there are a lot of problems between Uber drivers and taxis that have led to violence and problems. Uber is not allowed in most areas and while there are some drivers, they will take off and leave you hanging if they don’t feel safe. For this reason, Uber is not a reliable form of transit.

Taxis are common in the main areas of Kuta, Seminyak, and Canggu. As in many countries, the taxi drivers here have a reputation for ripping off tourists. The best advice is to use Blue Bird taxis when possible and, of course, make sure that they turn on the meter.

If you plan on going any distance (for example, Seminyak to Tulamben) you will need to hire a private driver. This will cost $50 per trip or more. You can always try to haggle, but know that this form of travel can be quite expensive.

To save money on transportation costs, your best bet is to base yourself in one, maybe two areas during your stay and rely on group day trips.

Attractions

Bali is absolutely stunning and plenty of the attractions across the island are natural. From waterfalls to beaches to rice terraces; the terrain is stunning. While nature is normally free to explore, a few spots do come with small fees. For example, the famous Tegalalang Rice Fields near Ubud has an entrance fee of 15,000 IDR which is equal to about 1.10USD. A very minimal fee.

Bali’s other predominant attractions are the beautiful temples spread across the island. These include Tanah Lot, Uluwatu Temple, Goa Gajah, and Tirta Empul. All of these temples also come with a small fee, usually just a couple of dollars.

Of course, there’s also all the beaches. Sanur, Nusa Dua, and Legian beach are some of the best places to relax. You can also find beaches with great waves to surf.

Bali’s attractions are actually quite cheap; however, the real cost comes in getting to them. If you have chosen to rent a motorbike you only need to worry about petrol and parking costs (both minimal). However, if you need to hire a private driver a day trip will likely cost about $50USD for the car. The best way to cut down on these costs is to make a full day out of it to see as much as possible, and to find other people to go with since the price is for the day, not per person.

Insider Tip: If you do find a driver you like, you can probably make an agreement for a discounted rate for multiple day trips. The driver will be happy for the business and therefore more likely to give you a better deal.

I should add that I have not included costs for adventure activities in this estimate. Bali is a scuba diving paradise, so if you are a fan of the sport I highly recommend you do at least a couple of dives. Average scuba diving costs are approximately $100-$120/day for two dives including lunch, transportation and equipment rentals.  Snorkelling  is also very popular.

The other attractions people tend not to think about but are usually worth it are day passes at other hotels where you’re able to access their pool and beach. Daytrips and tours are also a good solution if you don’t want to hire a driver. Some hotels also offer free yoga classes.

Here are some Bali attractions you may want to book in advance.

• Uluwatu Temple sunset and Kecak fire dance
• Bali swing in Ubud
• Bali safari and marine park
• Mount Batur sunrise trekking experience
• Lembongan reef cruise by Bali Hai Cruise
• Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort day pass
• Instagram tour with a photographer

Food and drink

Food and drink, like accommodation, will really vary in price depending on what you are going for. If you opt for western-style food, you will be spending probably triple the amount of money than if you stick with local food which can cost as little as $2 per meal. I expect that most travellers will eat a mix of the two styles, so the budget estimates in this article allow for a bit of both.

• Breakfast: $0 (included in hotel/hostel/villa stays)
• Dinner: $20

This amounts to a total of about $25 a day and includes a drink. Since the majority of hotels in Bali include free breakfast (often eggs, banana pancakes, or fresh fruit) I have not included a breakfast allowance in the estimate.

If you plan on drinking alcohol, remember to add more to your budget as well. Beers in Bali (Bintang is the most popular brand) are significantly cheaper than wine or cocktails. If you are more of a cocktail person, keep an eye out for the two for one specials. Pretty much every bar and beach club have them.

Random spending

Bali isn’t a shopping mecca, but there are a few souvenirs you may be interested in. Batik sarongs, tea, and coffee tend to be the most popular souvenirs. Quality varies, but none of the above are particularly expensive (unless you plan on buying copious amounts of the Kopi Luwak coffee).

What you probably will spend your money on are massages. Bali is famous for its cheap massages and travellers tend to indulge in this practice, many even going every day. While I don’t expect that to be the case for everyone, I imagine you will at least go once or twice during your stay. Basic massages are about $10 for one hour (not at a fancy resort spa). It is customary to leave a small tip.

With shopping and massages in mind, you should budget an extra $100 for random spending.

Final thoughts

So how much does it cost to go to Bali? I suggest setting aside US$1,725 for your trip. This includes airfare, accommodation, food, transportation, attractions, and more. If you’re travelling with two people, you would double all the costs except for accommodations.

Yes, Bali is often considered to be a luxury travel destination, but this guide shows that a visit to this Indonesian island doesn’t necessarily have come with a hefty price tag.  Budget travellers and backpackers can have an equally enjoyable experience if they are flexible and follow the tips and advice listed in this guide. For more inspiration, check out my guides on Japan , Thailand , Hong Kong , Singapore , the Maldives , Dubai and Southeast Asia .

Is Bali expensive to visit?

It depends on your travel style but overall, no. Bali is quite affordable. Of course, Bali is getting more and more popular so prices are creeping up. However, if you compare budget prices in Bali to European destinations, then you will see your money can go much further in Bali. Take a look at my article on Bali on a budget for some examples. Alternatively, if you aren’t too worried about your Bali trip costs and want to splurge, Bali is a good place to do that too. You can get some pretty fancy villas and hotels for a reasonable price. 

What is the best month to go to Bali?

You can visit Bali year-round, however, depending on when you go you will either experience dry or rainy season. Dry season is May to September and rainy season is October to April. Most people end up wanting to go to Bali in North America’s winter months to escape the cold. While this is considered the rainy season, don’t worry too much. It doesn’t rain all day- normally just a couple of hours. You will still get your heat and sunshine. 

Is $100 a day enough for Bali?

Definitely. One hundred dollars per day is a very generous daily budget for Bali as long as you aren’t looking for high-end luxury. 

What is Bali famous for?

Bali is best known for its temples. There are hundreds around the island including some truly spectacular ones such as Tanah Lot and Uluwatu. Bali has also become a very popular destination for yogis and spiritual travellers (especially Ubud) as well as digital nomads. 

What should I avoid in Bali?

Bali, as a popular tourist destination, does have several common scams to be aware of. There are typical things like overcharging on taxi rides or for drivers (have them use the meter or agree to a rate ahead of time) or individuals offering free guided tours of temples and then demanding a fee at the end. Just be smart about these types of things and if something seems too expensive or not right, then don’t do it.

One thing all visitors should be mindful of is the local Balinese drink called arak. It is a legitimate drink, however, over the past several years there have been reports of locals mixing it improperly with methanol rather than alcohol which may cause blindness or death. For this reason, I suggest just avoiding any offers of arak. 

Things to do in Bali at night

Bali has a pretty big night-life scene. Kuta is known as the party place where most of the young backpackers go. Head to Canggu or Seminyak for some more upscale beach bars, lounges, and restaurants.

Thanks a lot so useful

Your booking.com affiliate link didn’t work!!

[…] How Much Does it Cost to go to Bali? […]

Very informative site!

Very informative thanks

Hi I really would prefer to stay in ubud as my first base to soak in all the nature aspect. I will be there for 7 days total. Was looking at alot of airbnb and I do like to be away from the hectic tourism but I know that’s unavoidable. Do you recommend staying in another town or city as a split. My main goal is to see temples more than beaches. I appreciate any feedback. Also I’ll be going I April if that makes a difference. Thank you

There are a few places to stay that are outside the city centre. But if you plan on staying there, you will either need to be prepared to take taxis quite a bit or rent a motorbike because it will be too far to walk.

What are the requirements to get the international drivers license to rent a bike? Thank you so much

You should be able to get one from a local agency.

Here’s one for Canada (where I’m from) – https://www.caa.ca/international-driving-permit/

1 Night in bali in a 3 star hotel is just around 57 USD dude -_-

Really informative article… I got almost every aspect of information for my trip from this..

Thanks Barry for this very informative article. I will be visiting Bali April 2020 (possibly solo) and this sure helps. Will book airfare and accommodation as a package. would you recommend using cash for attractions?

What city should I get a villa at to do the main attractions without having to commute so long and so much? Do you recommend just staying in one city or going to a couple? We would like to do just the main attractions, and relax the rest of the time. Thank you so much by the way, this article is EVERYTHING!

Bali is very spread out and not well connected so you’ll likely need to hire a driver or rent a motorbike to get around anyway. Staying in one place is possible but will make for longer travel days depending on where you want to go and what you want to see. I’d suggest staying in at least 2 spots: Ubud and then somewhere by the beach like Seminyak or Canggu

Very helpful, thank you!

So informative and compehensive. Thanks you.

Hi Barry, All the contents and briefing you gave is very helpful.

But still I have a few questions

1. I cannot drive 2 wheelers. So is it better to hire a car with driver com guide or hire a car only and drive myself to explore Bali. 2. I’m planning a couple trip. So should I plan the Bali trip itinerary myself or use a trip organiser and plan and book all the necessary things by them? Since this is a couple trip we need a privacy and I’m not interested a guide with a big group. 3. I always use booking.com for all my trips. But until now I didn’t get the 10% discount which you told. Could u help me with that?

You’re probably best to just hire a driver. Things can easily be planned on your own. As for the booking.com genius program, the discount only applies to select properties so it’s possible you just haven’t booked any of those hotels.

I have international driving license from UAE. So is it better I drive myself or use a driver. Is the price same even I use a driver. I haven’t booked the hotels yet. Could you suggest me how to find the discounted hotels.

It’s really a personal preference if you want to drive yourself, but the majority of people use drivers or taxis. I do not have a list of what hotels fall under the genius program so I can’t help you there.

Thanks a lot for your time and help.

Hello, how do I hire a driver? & is that the Sam’s as a tour guide ?

A private driver is literally just a driver. Private tour guides in Bali usually include transportation so you likely wouldn’t need a driver if you’re hiring a guide.

We have been to Bali many times and it use to be a cheap holiday- not anymore. Even the average one-room accommodations have gone up to about $US 70/night. Eating out, unless you eat street food, has really gone up in price. Avoid drinking the cheap cocktails because most are made on methanol which can kill you unless treated.

Please plan your vacation very carefully and take on people’s opinions from sites such as Tripadvisor. We now find it cheaper to go to Thailand and the beaches are much cleaner.

I’ve been to Bali 4 times in 9 months. There is lots of great clean hotels for under $35 aud a night in Kuta. Double bed fridge oool etc Actually I’m here now staying in sanuar

Dear berry Good information. We would like to trip in dec II week x 3 couples . We are interested to book hotel Our own and prefer furnished Aptt or villa Any best you explore ?

Dear Berry hello,

My and my fiancee are planning to visit Bali after our weeding starting 28th of October till 7th of November. What’s the weather like? I’ve heard that rainy season starts from October to April. Is it true?

It is rainy season at that time but I wouldn’t be too worried about it. E.g. it could rain hard for an hour or two and then all of a sudden be super sunny 10 minutes later.

My boyfriend and I are planning on having a vacation to Bail from Nigeria, could we have someone help us for bookings and reservations, and touring?

I’m sure a travel agent in Nigeria can help you. Alternatively, you can look for an online company to help you.

for 7 days how much in Bangladeshi money ?

Please use XE.com to convert the price.

Thank you so much for this informative article, I’ve been trying to search the internet to find entry fees for places such as (monkey forest, elephant park, Bali zoo, bird park, , temples and such entrances,safari trips) but unfortunately all I found was full tours that includes the fees, I just want to know the fee excluding transportation. an estimate amount would help a lot in making my budget.

one more thing I am coming for honeymoon on 9th of April and leaving on 20th April, I’ve decided to take the first 6 days in Ubud but till this moment I am uncertain about the rest.. my wife and I are interested more in cultural stuff, exploring, relaxation and nature.. what’s your recommendation?

Temple entrance fees aren’t normally listed online but I don’t recall them being very expensive. Klook is reputable and lists some tickets for the Bali zoo – https://www.klook.com/en-CA/activity/1240-zoo-bali/ .

Ubud is the cultural centre of bali. Beach areas will m have more of a ‘resort’ feel with lots of westernized restaurants. If you really want to get off the beaten track western and northern Bali isn’t as touristic, but it’s tricky to get there and to get around ince you’re there.

Hi there very informative

I would like to visit the 16 waterfalls with approximately 30 minutes at each in the daylight

How long do you think that would take

Yes I’ll hire a driver

I’ll schedule my vacation days around that

If you’re going to hire a private driver, you’re better off asking them that question. You don’t want to pack your itinerary too much as there could be random delays for any reason e.g. traffic, slow lines, etc.

The round trip airfare I’m finding, barry is around 8000 dollars, have things changed that much in the past month or two?

are most of the homestays far from the tourist attractions? E.g. Jembrana bali homestay

It depends on the homestay. Some are more in town while others are more remote and in nature.

But many of the big attractions in Bali as a whole aren’t in city centres anyway. Waterfalls, rice fields, temples etc.

Basically, there’s no one location that will have you close to all the attractions.

Plans that may interest you

Ready for your trip to discover the beautiful scenery and vibrant culture in Bali? Welcome to the ultimate guide on how to travel to Bali from the US! In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the essential requirements and provide valuable tips to make your journey seamless and memorable.

Requirements to Travel to Bali from the US

In this first section, we’ll review the requisites to keep in mind before traveling to Bali. Have your passport ready along with any visas or airline tickets so you won’t have issues upon entry.

One of the primary requirements for traveling to Bali is a valid passport . As a vital document, your passport must meet certain criteria for entry into Bali.

• Valid for a minimum of the following 6 months from your arrival date in Bali.
• Have at least 1 available page.
• Be in a good condition, not ripped or deteriorated.

Return Ticket

You might be required to present a valid return airfare at immigration and within the validity of your passport. One of our tips is to get a round trip airline ticket

United States residents and citizens require a visa to enter Indonesia and Bali. However, you can get this visa upon arrival. You can apply online for a small fee of $35 and download your visa once you complete the process.

Travel Insurance

Even though it’s not mandatory, having travel insurance is highly recommended. It provides financial protection in case of unexpected events, such as medical emergencies or trip cancellations. Make sure your insurance covers activities you plan to engage in Bali, like water sports or trekking.

Driver’s License

One of our top recommendations when you travel to Bali is to take with you a drivers licenses to drive a rental car and even a motorbike. The Indonesian government has made it mandatory to have a valid driver’s license to rent out and drive a scooter or motorbike during your visit.

If you’re caught without a license, you might be ordered to pay a fine, and if you’re involved in an accident, without a license, the insurance will not offer coverage.

Restrictions (if any)

There are currently no COVID related restrictions, so you won’t need to present a vaccination certificate or negative antigen test.

Woman Demoted from Maid of Honor Questions If Overseas Destination Wedding Is Still Worth Cost of Attending

Posting to the popular AITA Reddit page, a woman explained how she reconsidered the costs of travel in her new bridesmaid role

After getting demoted from maid of honor to bridesmaid, one woman started reconsidering the costs of traveling for her best friend's wedding.

Posting on a popular AITA Reddit forum, an anonymous user wondered if she was in the wrong for "refusing to attend" her longtime pal's "incredibly expensive" wedding abroad. Her decision to drop out of the event came after the bride — whom the user calls Jenny — delivered some unfortunate news about the wedding party hierarchy.

"Jenny informed me that she had decided to make her sister the maid of honor instead but still wanted me to be a bridesmaid. She explained her family was putting pressure on her since it’s a family tradition," the user explained.

She also noted that she agreed to be Jenny's maid of honor "immediately" after she got engaged, and the friend had already "started helping with the planning, from dress shopping to tasting cakes."

The Reddit user said she was hurt by her demotion to bridesmaid, but she "tried to be understanding" about the situation. However, her feelings became complicated under the financial strain of Jenny's overseas destination wedding.

"Between flights, accommodations, and other expenses, we’re talking about a significant amount of money," the former maid of honor wrote online. "I started reevaluating whether I could justify the cost, especially since I’ve had some financial setbacks recently (unexpected car repairs, medical bills, etc.)."

Eventually, she decided to tell Jenny she couldn't afford to make the trip, but the bride wasn't so sympathetic.

"She was upset and accused me of backing out because I was no longer the maid of honor. She said I was letting my pride get in the way of our friendship and that if I really cared, I’d find a way to make it work financially," the user recalled. "I feel terrible. I want to be there for her, but the financial strain is too much for me, especially now that my role in the wedding—and my involvement in the planning—has changed."

Despite the context of the demotion from maid of honor, many of the top Reddit replies focused on basic destination wedding etiquette. Several comments reassured the author that she was not at fault, and the bride should not expect all of her guests to be so flexible with their funds.

"Not sure where the idea came from that to 'prove your friendship' a person has to go into debt," one commenter wrote. "Buying a dress is one thing but flights, hotel, meals, rental car, gift … It’s ridiculous."

Another person agreed, writing, "The whole point of destination [weddings] when they first became a thing was to be able to invite people knowing they likely wouldn't come, and thus keep the wedding small and more affordable without hurt feelings of not making the guest list."

Some urged the author to consider how the bride could help, if she truly wanted the author present on her wedding day: "If it's important for her that you are there, she will foot the bill," read one anonymous reply.

Answer a few questions and we'll calculate your passport fees..

Where do you currently reside?

Check with your local U.S. embassy or consulate for information on how to apply for a passport.

Have you ever had a U.S. passport?

Do you know if your passport is still valid?
