Planning your first (or next!) trip to Bali? 🌴
You’ve checked flight prices, browsed resorts and villas, and saved endless cafés on Instagram.
Now comes the most important question:
💭 How much money do I actually need to go to Bali?
This guide breaks down flights, hotels, daily costs, spending money, and exchange tips so you can build the perfect Bali budget — without surprises.
When I first planned my Bali trip, I had no idea how much money I needed.
I overbudgeted on some days, underestimated others, and exchanged money at the wrong place (airport kiosk!) before learning the smarter way.
After visiting Seminyak, Canggu, Ubud, Kuta, Sanur, and Nusa Dua, I discovered the realistic and comfortable budget most travelers need — plus where to exchange money safely at Best Money Changer Bali, the most trusted and licensed exchanger on the island.
