Flights to Bali – what do they cost?

Flights are the biggest single expense on a Bali trip. Prices vary with the season, how early you book and how flexible your dates are. From Europe, a return ticket in low season costs around $800–1,100 per person, in high season $1,200–1,600, and business class on a deal $1,800–3,000. Fares often rise 6–8 weeks before departure – book early for the best price.

Accommodation in Bali – from budget to luxury

Bali has a huge range of accommodation, and you often get a higher standard and more space than in Europe – even in the mid-range. Read our guide to the best areas in Bali to work out where you should stay. Budget hotels and guesthouses cost $30–60 a night, boutique hotels and villas $80–180, and a luxury villa or resort $250–600+.

Food and drink – cheaper than you think

Food is one of Bali’s biggest advantages. You can eat out every day without blowing your budget – and the food is fantastic. Local food at a warung costs $3–6, a café or restaurant $8–15, a nicer dinner with drinks $25–50, coffee or a smoothie $2–5, and a cocktail at a beach bar from $10. Want to learn to cook the food yourself? We offer a cooking class with a local chef in Seminyak/Ubud.

A visit to a local market, cooking with a local chef and a full meal afterwards. One of Bali’s best experiences – and you take the recipes home.

Transport – what should you budget for?

Transport is affordable, but it can get chaotic if you don’t plan. We offer pre-booked transport for safety and efficiency – so you don’t have to negotiate with taxi drivers or navigate yourself. Scooter rental costs from $15 a day with us, a private driver for a full day $99 per car, and a fast boat between the islands $25–50 one way.

Activities and excursions – what the experiences cost

Bali is full of experiences – and prices are reasonable. Guided tours often include transport, a guide and entrance fees, so you don’t have to arrange everything yourself. Snorkelling and surfing cost $40–90, ATV and rafting $70–120, the Mount Batur sunrise $90–150 and a Nusa Penida day trip $120–160.
