How to Visit Bali on a Budget

PRACTICAL WANDERLUST

You can absolutely visit Bali on a budget! You’ll just be experiencing a different side of Bali from the resort-goers and luxury lovers. Leave your high-end watch at home – you won’t be needing it where you’re going.

Here are a few ways that you can enjoy a trip to Bali without breaking the bank!

1. EAT LIKE A LOCAL

Here is a plate of Nasi and a fresh coconut in and a beautiful outdoor setting in a gorgeous warung in Ubud called Warung Makan Bu Rus. Would you believe this entire meal cost just $10 for both of us?

2. BOOK ONLINE IN ADVANCE

If you book online in advance, you can score an amazing deal at a place like this tiny resort in Amed, Bali! Yes: in Bali, even the tiny resorts have infinity pools. With ocean views. Hello, paradise.

3. RENT A SCOOTER

Save money by renting your own scooter to get you from point A to B in town.

4. Avoid OVERPRICED TAXIS

The first rule of thumb is to look for the bright blue Bluebird Taxis. This is a reputable metered taxi company that is generally regarded as the most honest taxi service in Bali.

5. PAY WITH CASH

Our first stop whenever we land in a new place is always an ATM at the airport: it’s the easiest and often cheapest way to get out the cash you’ll need!
