Planning a trip to Bali and wondering, “How much spending money should I take?”
From beach clubs and temples to cafés and massages, Bali can be very affordable — or surprisingly expensive — depending on your travel style. Knowing the right budget helps you enjoy the island without stress or overspending.
Bali is one of those destinations where travelers often underestimate or overestimate daily expenses. Some visitors live comfortably on a modest budget, while others spend freely on luxury dining, villas, and experiences.
The key isn’t bringing as much money as possible — it’s bringing the right amount for your lifestyle, and exchanging it safely once you arrive.
