One of the discoveries of our wintering in Asia was the fact that Independent holiday in Bali is not expensive. Indonesians themselves they say that the country is one of those where you can live on $ 1 per day. And although our budget went much more, the final amount was quite acceptable.
We’ll tell you how much a month’s trip cost us and write down prices for Bali in 2019 in detail.

Bike rental
Our bike for 2500 rubles?
 |
In order not to complicate our lives, we need to quickly translate local ruble price tags were taken as the basis that 10,000 rupees ~ 47 rubles. |
Bali is not at all sharpened by walking, and the bike (scooter) is a vital thing on the island if you want see at least a part of what he “falls in love with”. The main thing is what help two wheels – it’s traffic jams. Insane, exhausting queues tightly got up cars that you can only drive around squeezing on the sidelines or sidewalks.
Daily rent a bike in Bali: from 35 000-50 000 rupees (depending on model / power).
Rent a scooter for a month (unpretentious 110 cubic meters): Rs 700,000–850,000. If you take a more powerful – exceeded 1 000 000. Always bargain!
Liter of gas: Rs 7,500 (for some gas stations and 8600).
Official fines: riding without a helmet – 250 000 rupees, the intersection of the stop line – 500 000, lack of rights – 1 000 000, lack of bike registration documents – 500 000 (make sure that you were given them).
Rights to rent a scooter are not needed. For cops arranging round up, we need international. The fines are impressive, but the guardians of order in Bali are dishonest from the word altogether: bidding on the spot is capable cut a million to 100,000 rupees (very good outcome).
How to save on a fine if the IDP is not:
- level “base” – in the wallet / pocket to keep a small amount in 50 000-100,000 rupees and say that there is no more money
- level “advanced” – for 300 000 rupees in Bali can be done certificate of loss of rights, the current month (only for bikes!). The difficulty is that for registration we need either dating (in our case, it was a good host), or go directly to the site and claim loss
Transport prices
Public transport in Bali, one might say, does not function. At the disposal of the tourist – rent of transport, taxi, mototaksi
Rent a car daily: 200 000-250 000 rupees (without insurance) or 300 000-350 000 (insured).
The car for a month: from 4 million rupees. We also recommend that you familiarize yourself with the price of a car rental at online distributors – the choice is usually bigger, and there are good discounts.
Узнать цены на аренду авто >>
Car with driver: from Rs 700,000 / day.
Taxi ride from airport to district Kuta-Seminyak: 70,000-100,000 rupees. Balinese taxi drivers, especially extremely unpleasant persons on duty at the airport. Are cheating scoff, insolent eyes.
Drive Uber from airport to Kuta Seminyak: Rs 42,000-45,000. IMPORTANT – landing takes place exclusively on G parking at Domestic Arrival (200 meters to the left after exiting International).
Unfortunately, the drivers of Uber, too, do not differ in honesty: with us took an extra 30,000 rupees for an “increased risk” (Uber banned on the island). Fortunately, the locales explained what was happening, and we left not so naive. Pay the price that shows an application (of a pair of additional collections, only a couple of thousand rupees are possible for parking).
Pre-arranged transfer from the airport: 1300-2000 rubles (depending on the area) – on KiwiTaxi
Mototaksi Go-Jek: transported around the island, in airport do not drive. From Kuta to Changu ~ 20 000 rupees. Pricing is possible Find out by downloading the same application. Here are the 13 best helpers on phone.
Bali prices for food. Our cafe rating (varungov)
The cost of this salad is 80-100 rubles
The cost of living in Bali is directly dependent on the cost of food. Pleasant moment – eating cheap in Bali is great outside houses ? Local cafes – varungi – allow you to spend a day on two only 600-800 rubles!
We have formed the opinion that all the institutions in Bali are divided into following:
-
For local
1. Varungs for locals. Usually this is part of the house where the hosts live, decorated under the place of eating shabby plastic tables and chairs. In the menu of names 5-8, and all extremely “penny”.
Food prices:
• Fried rice / noodles with chicken and egg (in the local language – Naxi goreng / mi goreng) ≈12 000-15 000 rupees
• Soup ≈ 10,000 rupees
• Fried rice with vegetables and additives to choose from soy / tofu ≈15 000 rupees
Yes, I must say that for vegetarians Bali is just a paradise. Even in the most primitive edalnyah there are suitable dishes.
For tourists
2. Tourist-oriented varungs – economy option. These are full-fledged institutions, too budget, but nicely furnished and nicely serving food. we ate, for the most part, it was in such and below we give A list where we were sooo delicious?
How much is food in these places? (recall that 10,000 rupees ~ 47 rubles)
• Nasi Goreng ≈18,000-25,000 rupees
• Sata ayam (rice and chicken skewers with nut sauce) ≈18 000-24 000 rupees
• Roti (tortilla) with mozzarella ≈ 18 000-20 000 rupees
• Fruit smoothie ≈ 10,000 -20 000 rupees
3. Varungs for tourists – a middle option. Not yet first-class restaurant, but not an outdoor cafe. Food prices are higher plus, in some, a tax of 10% is added to all items on the check and 5% service charge (the latter may be more).
• Naxi goreng / mi goreng ≈45 000-50 000 rupees
• Vegetable salad ≈30 000-35 000 rupees
• Babi Guling (rice with roast pork) ≈50,000-60,000 rupees
• A cup of cappuccino ≈ 35,000 rupees
And the price of such a set is about 230 rubles. For hipsters
4. Hipster / Vegan / Raw Food / Organic cafes. In short, with a claim to originality and paragraphs. And them it turns out great! ? Rush hour comes from the opening to Lunches – healthy instagram-type breakfasts are very popular.
• Bali Bowl / Smoothie Bowl (hyper-photogenic bowl with contents from probed fruits or berries, handfuls of granola, pieces of fruit and coconut chips / chia seeds and further on by increasing creativity) ≈50,000-75,000 rupees. The cheapest bowl we found at Crate cafe in Changu
• Toast with avocado, salmon / ham and poached egg ≈39 000-50 000 rupees
• Nasi Goreng ≈30,000 rupees
• Breakfast set (scrambled eggs, bacon, mini-sausages, mushrooms, spinach, beans, toast) ≈40 000-55 000 rupees
• Smoothie ≈22,000–40,000 rupees
Bali Bowl with coffee – 300 rubles Fast food
5. Fast food. Mcdonald’s , KFC, Burger King – all this is available along with the local burger. Bali prices in this segment, by the way, is very democratic. In McDack prices are shown without tax accounting 10%.
• Big Mac ≈30,000 rupees
• Fries big ≈ 19,000 rupees
• Combo lunch (double cheese, medium fries, middle cola) ≈50 000 rupees
• Cappuccino venti in Starbucks – from 49,000 rupees (price tag depends from the area, cheaper on Sunset Road)
• Burger with beef in a burger ≈35,000-99,000 rupees
Restaurants
6. Restaurants. Haute cuisine, tasting halls, masterpieces from chefs – there are a lot of luxuries in Bali, and each excel in the menu and in the locations.
• Nasi Goreng ≈ 160,000 rupees
• Medallions of beef with potatoes and mushrooms ≈280 000 rupees
• A glass of red wine ≈150,000 rupees
• Caesar Salad ≈100,000 rupees
So, the rating of our favorite and, in general, cheap cafes on Bali.
| Average check / 2 | What to try | |
| On waroeng , Changu | 70,000 | Delicious mozzarella necks |
| Hungry bird , Changu | 100 000 | the coolest naxi goreng latte breakfasts |
| Gourmet Sate House, Kuta | 60,000 | the best sat and papaya salad |
| Warung Bintang bali, Ubud | 85,000 | ribs and Balinese salad |
| Moana Fish Eatery, Changu | 155,000 | tuna (especially tataki) coconut cheesecake |
| Crate Cafe, Changu | 140,000 | bowls and smoothies |
| Roti Canai, Changu | 70,000 | roti with nutella with banana and chocolate |
| Warung Campung, Kuta | 46,000 | nasi goreng |
| Warung Pondok Madu, Ubud | 85,000 | curry ribs |
| Balangan Cafe, Balangan | 95,000 | pizza, hummus salad |
Saving on food is strictly individual, but how it was done we:
- in the cafe we ate lunch and dinner, had breakfast at home with granola fruit and yogurt
- rarely took drinks, in the heat like ordinary water, which always been with me
- having gone in the afternoon to an institution more expensive, in the evening ate in the budget small town
-
Crate Cafe
The fruit and berry bowls in Crete are excellent, but also other versions Breakfast (toast, burrito, omelets) are also good.
Single fin
SingleFin beach bar menu is not the cheapest place, but the view worth it.
Hungry Bird
As already mentioned, in KhangriByrd – the best Nasi Goreng (about 30,000 rupees); Breakfast is normal.
On Waroeng
Our typical order in OnWung was: roti with mozzarella (18,000 rupees), strawberry milkshake (20,000) and naxi goreng (24,000).
McDonald’s
Prices in Mac in Bali. The most interesting thing we tried was the usual horn, but in chocolate glaze. Now, like, there are match glaze.
Prices of products in the supermarket
Food in Bali is quite expensive, because many import. Of course, with the exception of local “running” positions – rice, eggs, chicken, fruit, etc. But you cannot hold them alone, but familiar European ingredients “bite”, and cooking at home is not especially advantageous.
Buy everything you need better in supermarkets. The most famous network:
- Carrefour
- Nirmala
- Cocomart
- Pepito
- Papaya
- Bintang
We set them in order from reasonable to expensive, but this very average and subject to a large purchase. Profitable for us for daily hikes was Pepito.
Prices for Bali products are approximately as follows:
- Water 1.5 liters from 2500 rupees
- Liter of milk ≈30 000
- Cheese 250 gr from 105 000 and to infinity!
- Eggs 10 pieces ≈18 000
- Loaf of bread ≈25 000, sandwich ≈ 15 000
- Pasta 500 gr from 25 000
- Rice 500 gr. ≈18 000
- Whole chicken ≈35 000-40 000
- Cucumbers local ≈8,000 for kg
- Granola 400 gr from 65 000
- Marlboro cigarette white ≈28 000
One of the golden goods is alcohol. The price of the local beer Bintang 0.33 in glass starts from 18,000 rupees, on imported Carlsberg – from 24 000, and a bottle of red wine from France – from 400 000 to 1 000 000 rupees!
Roadside Stores – Alfamart (Alfamart), Indomart (Indomaret), Circle K. Here you can buy by trivia – water, bread, chips, manufactured goods.
Prices for fruits in supermarkets (Cocomart, Carrefour, sometimes Pepito) is not at all wildly more expensive than offer local markets (there are many in Ubud), and go from Kuta or Moreover, Bukit for a profit of a couple of thousand is a little pointless.
Comparison – the price of fruit in the store and in the markets
| rupees / kg in store | rupee / kg in the market | |
| Mango | 12 000-13,000 | 10,000 |
| Papaya | 8000-10 000 | 8000 |
| Dragonfruit | 12,500 | 10 000 |
| Salak | 15 000-17 000 | 10 000-12 000 |
| Passion fruit | 37 500 | 33,000 |
| Mangosteen | 40 000-55 000 | 38 000-40 000 |
| Coconut | 10 000-15 000 |
How to save on products we:
- In the Pepito supermarkets there is a corner with goods, shelf life which draws in, and a discount of 30-70%. Usually there flakes, pastes, cookies, juices are stored. Separately there and for milk We took granola (instead of 155,000 rupees for 42,000) – live she had a month left, that is, the timing is not critical
- In Papaya after 21:00 at the checkout breaks 40% discount for the whole ready meal
- Driving into Ubud and bumping into vegetable and fruit markets (and they sell all the good by 9 am!) Zatarov thoroughly, especially bananas. They were ripped off by green bales from trees when studied the north of the island?
Prices for excursions and attractions. 10 places required to visit
Early in the morning at the Tegenungan Falls – for free?
What to see in Bali? You can talk endlessly, seriously! For a month we saw, probably, less than half of all the beautiful, what is on the island.
About excursions: this is justified only if you are located on Nusa Dua, and you have 10 days left and the reluctance to rent motorbike. Prices for excursions (sightseeing one-day) – from $ 30 per person You ride on 5-8 locations with a special focus on places where you can unleash on the acquisition of something, and not on the true dignity bali.
In all other cases, sit on a scooter / in the car / car with driver and go to the incredible beauty!
| 1. Tegenungan Falls, Kanto Lampo and Sekumpul. Generally, in Bali, dozens of incredible waterfalls. The first two are closest to Bukita / Kuta and therefore collected crowds of tourists (come by 7-8 in the morning), and the third is far away, but he It is worth 2-3 hours on the way to all 200. Entrance fee: from 10 000 rupees per person. | 2. The temple of Uluwatu. He himself is mediocre but located on the edge of a picturesque cliff. You can walk along the hem and listen to the ocean, for which they come here and gaze at the local hosts – monkeys – who strive for something drag off. Cost: Rs 30,000 per person + 2,000 per bike. |
In the background there should be a volcano Agung – we were not lucky with the weather
| 3. The temple with the gate Pura Lempuyang. Gate and The 1,700 steps to the sanctuary are the most remarkable parts of the temple. But The view and photo from here is really postcard. We had no luck with clouds, in theory, between the gate on a clear day peeps a volcano Agung. Entry price: 10,000 rupees per sarong for both men and women + donation at your discretion. | 4. Hidden canyon. Climb the walls through rocks cut by water, wade along a mountain river, and sometimes and swim – in a word, unusual “hiking” in an unusual place. Cost: 15 000 rupees entrance + 100 000 per guide for a group of up to 4 people. |
Early in the morning few people, and admission is free?
| 5. Temple Tanah Lot. Equally good at low tide, and at high tide. In the temple itself is not allowed, but wander around (at low tide) and watch how huge waves break on reefs into squall splashes can be long. Cost: Rs 60,000. Arriving at 6:30 am (opens at 7-7: 30), we passed for free – the ticket office is not yet worked. | 6. Gili Islands. Party Trawangan, rustic Meno or secluded Eyre – each washed immaculately azure ocean (a la Maldives) and covered with white sand. Prices to the islands: a speedboat ticket of Rs. 450,000 round-trip. |
On the volcano Batur (rise begins from 4 am)
| 7. Meeting dawn on the volcano Batur. That thing a place where the energy of the island covers the head! Rise to the crater not at all easy, lasts about 2 hours up and the same back. What is on top? Just look at the photo? The island is in full view Agung and the sun rising between the gate of the clouds. Cost: ordering a tour – Rs 600,000 per person (transfer from Ubud + guide + breakfast). Arriving and agreeing with the local mafia on the spot – 250,000 rupees (guide only). | 9. Nusa Penida. Island nearby, “open” just a few years ago with broken roads and deliveries ferry products in improvised shops. But what is it nature! The water is saturated blue, which is not found in Bali, is equal to like the famous cliff in the form of a dinosaur. We, unfortunately, rain prevented, but part of the wild beauty, we still they saw.Cost: Rs 50,000 per person one way to the ferry. Bike transportation + 31,000 rupees. |
| 8. Ubud. The heart of Bali, where you do not want leave. Rice fields, all the colors of greenery, the atmosphere of inspiration and appeasement – colorful Ubud is very different from coastal Bali. Here you should either live for the rest of your stay, or stay at least 3 days. | 10. Beaches of Bukit (Melasti, Driemland, Balangan, Bingin, beach with natural jacuzzi). Natural attractions Bali is indescribably beautiful, and the beaches in the south are proof of that. Hidden at the foot of the cliffs and rocks, on them (and the power of the ocean) cool to admire from above. |
Considering the “worldly” entertainment in Bali a lot spas (Balinese massage from Rs 70,000), a decent amount of nightclubs and, of course, surfing. Surf rental boards on most beaches in 2019 – 50,000 rupees per hour; наNusa Dua – 200,000 rupees.
From personal experience – for the first times it is better to take instructor
Prices for rental housing in Bali in 2019. Where to look?
The choice of places to live is huge – from villas to rooms near locales – and best of all, housing prices in Bali are quite democratic. Algorithms of the search, in principle, are standard – either to beg in advance, or to understand on arrival.
- For a short time, it is possible to rent housing of any type profitably RoomGuru – the service is looking for the lowest cost for all systems reservation. Inexpensive and on Booking + you can make a return 1000 rubles from booking!
We and our friends booked on the site for 1-3 days these budget, but excellent options (price for two):
Ubud
Kubu Bali Baik Villa & Resort ≈ 2500 rubles / night per season, ≈1300 € / night during off-season – definitely a great Like! Spacious villa (without kitchen) with panoramic windows over the rice fields, swimming pool and breakfast
Wira Guesthouse Ubud ≈950 rub. in season, ≈800 rubles. in low season (having agreed on the place of renewal, they lived for ≈600 rubles / night) – for such money is a godsend – a pleasant room with a bathroom and a common kitchen in a two-storey house that looks like a palace. Plus, friendly the master, the simulator, and the Agung seen on the horizon.
Jimbaran
Bali Yuris Apartment ≈ 1600 rub. in season, ≈1200 rubles. in low season (contacting directly, friends took off for a month for 13,000 rubles. + communal apartment) – a good-quality apartment with a kitchenette, laundry room and pool on the roof.
Changu
4 * Aston Canggu Beach Resort ≈ 5300 rub. in season, ≈3000 rubles. вoff-season – the hotel is fully consistent with 4 stars – breakfast on The rooftop pool is cool, clean and modern and cozy.
Nusa dua
5 * Inaya Putri Bali ≈ 6000 rub. in the season ≈5500 rubles. in the off season – in the expensive resort of Nusa Dua this hotel is marked as providing corresponding to its rather big price quality. Very good beach.
- For long term rent in Bali is even more profitable. Here to help comes another site – Airbnb (via the link promo code from us for $ 31 for first booking), which is full of options for private accommodation (also of any kind) directly from the locales, and often offered ≈30% discount for stays longer than 30 days.
Our base for the month (December-January 2018) we picked it up at Eirbnb. I wonder how much it cost? 13 000rubles for two, and this is renting a house in Bali. Low season price always falling, and you can grab a truly worthwhile sentence. TO For example, a villa in Bali – the price of 17 000 rubles. in 30 days.
Найти частное жилье >>
- Our friends went the other way – booked a hotel for a couple of days, rented a bike and drove into favorite places “for rent”. Exodus similar – apartments for 13,000 rubles a month, but it took a quest two days. Perhaps in the second trip to Bali we will enter also, but the options available online will check for sure.
Cozy courtyard at our house
Where better to live in Bali?
Feel free to divide the island into three major areas – above the airport (Kuta, Seminyak, Changu), below the airport (Bukit) and central Ubud – we say the following.
-
Changu
Changu – a clear favorite. The place where to rent a house in Bali is perfect and for a long stay (from a month or more), and for rest in 2 weeks (if the goal is not lazy beach relaxation).
• the number of trendy, tasty and budgetary cafes rolls over (living in Seminyak, we visited Changu every day)
• a scattering of designer shops (clothes enough quality), massage parlors and beach clubs
• traffic and traffic jams are not as hellish as on Kute / Seminyak / Jimbarane, and, they say, there is no desire for money “traffic cop”
• many Russians (which is a plus for those who are not friends with the English)
• great beach for beginner surfers
• relaxed and slightly hippie atmosphere, not at all tourist, and “own”
Ubud
Ubud is Chungu’s direct rival, but for us it still loses, because we love surfing. The area is good for wintering, and for short and first trip to Bali, rather, will not work – better stay closer to the ocean and book a hotel here on 3-4 days.
• the most convenient point to get to the main attractions of the north and nearby islands
• you can cheaply rent luxury accommodation (a house overlooking Agung or villa in the middle of rice fields)
• other Balinese, more peaceful
• fruit markets!
• very beautiful and juicy nature, but the same solitude / inspiration / enlightenment is felt only on outskirts – the center of Ubud is too tourist-oriented
Bukit
Bukit – perhaps less attractive for long vacation due to the lack of large supermarkets and poorly developed infrastructure. However, there are many families with children. If you plan to fly to Bali for 10-14 days, Bukit is not bad choice of place to stay, you can leisurely zatit all cool the beaches.
• area for pro-surfers – sharp spots with big waves
• while it is here that the best beaches are concentrated for bathing
• there are no traffic jams on the roads of the peninsula (but they certainly appear on the road)
• in the evenings, and in the afternoon, quietly and calmly, a little in a rustic way
Average hotel prices. 5 best options
If we talk specifically about hotels, the pricing in Bali something like this:
- 5 * ~ from 3300 rub. / Night
- 4 * ~ from 1500 rubles / night
- 3 * ~ from 1000 rub. / Night
- 1-2 * ~ from 600 rubles per night
The best hotels (by the high quality of guest reviews):
- 4 * Amadea Resort & Villas (Seminyak)
- 5 * Wapa di Ume Resort & Spa (Ubud)
- 4 * Ossotel Legian (Legian)
- 3 * PinkCoco Bali (Uluwatu)
- 5 * The Haven Suites Bali Berawa (Canggu)
How to get there? Flights to Bali
 |
 |
There are only two options for getting to Bali: a flight from Russia (with transfer or without) or direct flight from South Asian countries.
The minimum price for flights from Moscow to Denpasar (airport) and back – from 30 000 rubles. The low price calendar reports that The most favorable months for traveling in 2019 is March-May, September-November.
The following airlines fly from the capital:
- Russia (direct flight)
- Qatar Airways (transfer in Doha)
- Singapore Airlines (transfer in Singapore)
- Emirates (relocation in Dubai)
- China Southern (transplant in Shengzhen, Guangzhou or Wuhan)
- Thai Airways (transfer in Bangkok)
All the way to one side takes 12 hours and depends on transplant time. Waiting at an intermediate point, as a rule short – on average, 1.5-2 hours. However, you can always choose longer docking – 10 hours or more – and take a walk by the city. In addition, many of the above do not require a visa.
The countries of South-East Asia, due to the close distance and Popular loukosterov offer very cheap Bali tickets. One way trip price starts from:
- ≈ 1300 rubles from Kuala Lumpur
- ≈ 2400 rubles from Singapore
- ≈ 3600 rubles from Bangkok
Usually from these cities organizes flights AirAsia – known budget carrier. We flew them several times, including Bangkok-Bali route, and, in general, everything is OK, except for the terrible food on board.
How to save:
- don’t get attached to dates and catch stocks (most recently Qatari announced a short-term sale of Moscow-Bali-Moscow for 26 000 rubles!)
- arrange a vacation in low season when the cost of tickets falls
- book separately the segment Russia-country Southeast Asia (for example, Moscow-Kuala-Lumpur) round-trip and between these numbers to accommodate trip to Bali
Currency exchange and bank cards in Bali
The national currency in Bali is Indonesian Rupee (island – part of the state of Indonesia, just note? )
Indicative exchange rate:
- rupee to ruble 209 IDR ~ 1₽
- rupee to dollar 14 560 IDR ~ $ 1
Bali currency exchange is one of the first areas where tourist perceived as sent by the gods a chance to earn.
- ALWAYS change cash ONLY in official offices. Not in store, not in a cafe, not in the shop, but in a separate institution, from the inside similar to the mail, where the authorized money is written in large letters changer
- You are the last to recount the received rupees. Not let the employee recount them again or add them to convenient pile
- NEVER get fooled by a super-advantageous course – in 99.9% of cases it’s divorce. Either the commission will be added, or bills stick together and unnoticed throw under the table
While we were on the island, the course was jumping from 14,600 rupees per dollar to 14 250 and back, and in the “gray” places he steadily kept at 15 300
Using a bank card (cash withdrawals, payment in shops, cafes) are also often fraudulent. Based local horror stories and reviews on the Internet, life in Bali is much easier with in cash than with a card. Skimming is common here – on an ATM installs a reader, a tourist commits operation, and after a while strange charges begin down to emptying the bill to zero.
- Withdraw money from ATMs at banks
- For greater reinsurance, you can create a separate account for travel, where as necessary to throw a certain amount (pay at the cafe / get cash)
- Be sensible and in doubtful situations better. use cache
As for the individual moments, often in ATMs installed cash withdrawal limit (for example, 2 500 000 rupees) and face value issued notes (50 000/100 000). Plus, in many shops and cafes There are restrictions on the minimum payment (in supermarkets – from 100,000 rupees, in Starbucks – from 50,000).
About the commission, let’s say the following: they shot 3 times 2 million times each, from Cards wrote off the total by ~ 100 rubles more than at the rate of the Central Bank, i.e. Additional charges, in fact, was not. Honestly, this is due to the card – our All Airlines from Binbank is one of the best cards for travelers?
Our trip to the island of Nusa-Penida
Prices for tours to Bali 2019 – early booking
An alternative to self travel is a trip to Bali. Price may be reasonable (if you look well and in advance) – from 120,000 rubles in high season for two for 10 nights in a 3 * hotel with breakfast.
