Heading to Bali soon? 🌴
You’ve booked your flights, packed your outfits, planned the cafés and beach clubs — but one question remains:
💭 How much spending money do I need for Bali?
The answer depends on your travel style, where you’re staying, and how much you want to explore.
Here’s the complete and simple guide so you can budget confidently.
The first time I visited Bali, I brought way too much money and barely used half.
The second time, I underestimated how affordable Bali can be — and ended up spending less than expected.
After traveling through Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu, Ubud, Sanur, and the Bali Airport area, I found the ideal range for daily expenses — plus how to exchange money safely at Best Money Changer Bali, the most trusted exchanger on the island.
