What budget to travel Bali? Money and currency

What budget for activities and outings Bali?

Massages. You can find them everywhere: in specialised salons, in hotel spas (luxury ones, but not only), on the beach... Be aware that, very often, you pay for the setting: a massage in the local palace will not necessarily be better than the one given by the old woman on the beach... And be aware that on the beach, massages are offered, and not other less noble services

Prices are much cheaper than in France! For those who love Balinese decoration, why not buy your furniture here and find out about delivery in France? It can be worth it!

The cost of living is not high in Bali, so parties are "cheap". Beware, in the posh clubs, prices can quickly rise.

What budget to eat Bali?

There is something for every budget, but obviously the tourist places, by the sea or with a view of the sea, are a little more expensive than elsewhere. However, the cost of living is much lower than in France.

What is the budget for accommodation Bali?

You can find accommodation at all prices in Bali and the value for money in the tourist areas is excellent. On the other hand, when you leave the tourist areas, the choice is much more limited. Smaller hotels or guesthouses generally offer less comfortable amenities (bathrooms often have only cold water)

Hotels

Good and cheap. In the tourist areas, you can stay very well for less than 300 000 Rp. For this price, you will have a clean room, with private shower and fan, in a simple hotel that can be nice. If you want to have a pool and air-conditioning, you will have to go up to Rp 400,000, or even a little more

In this price range, you can find mostly losmen, a kind of guesthouse where you can rent one or more rooms in a family house for a small price

Comfort and charm. Here too, there is a great disparity depending on the place where you are. In Bali, the hotels in this category, at less than 600 000 Rp, are generally excellent. They offer all the western comfort (nickel bathroom, large rooms, television, air conditioning) and, in addition, they generally have a charm: small swimming pool, neat decoration, garden or tropical park... All this for the price of a basic hotel in France. These hotels are the specialty of Bali which has hundreds of them in the four corners of the island. This is why it is one of the favorite destinations for honeymooners

Luxury. Here is the type of hotel that will be the same almost everywhere! In Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, you will find all the major international brands: Mercure, Sofitel, Hilton ... You will also find very nice Indonesian establishments, less standardized, but just as charming, and even (very often) more authentic. There is no limit to the prices, which can reach heights (sometimes up to €1,000 for a heavenly room!); the prices of services and restaurants are in line with the size of the customers' wallets and are comparable to Western prices. These hotels generally offer a host of services and activities. Impeccable service and a dream setting at affordable prices for a wider clientele than the one that usually frequents palaces in Europe, since, in low season, the price of some luxury hotels starts at Rp 1 million

Campsites

There is no camping in Bali, as the island is so populated and provided with losmen (homestays).

Good plans

What if you took advantage of your stay in Bali, Lombok or the Gili Islands to buy a dream villa? It can be very economical if you are in a group or if you want to live a rather extraordinary experience... In any case, you should also know that in Bali, you can negotiate the prices of the rooms downwards in case of long stays
