Bali Prices

« Good morning everyone! 🌞 We woke up to beautiful sunshine this morning and quickly got ready for a fun day ahead. We're heading to a new beach, Nusa Dua! Today is our last day at the Orange Balangan hotel, which is absolutely stunning—surrounded by gorgeous greenery and a lovely territory. The little cabin we stayed in is really cozy, even though we’re mostly outside enjoying the beach all day long. The price was around $60 for 4 nights with breakfast included. 🏖️ »

« Tanah Lot Temple
The place is very atmospheric, with the power of the ocean and incredible views from the rocks. However, there are really a lot of visitors. The entrance ticket costs around $4. »

« Every day we try to see how many more beautiful places exist.
⭐ One of them is the active temple Tanah Lot. It's one of the seven sea temples built on the island's coast, from each temple you can see the next one.
⭐ We didn't get there right away because you can only reach it during low tide; at high tide, the temple is cut off from the island by water.
⭐ The entrance for tourists to the area costs around $3, but you have to go through a lot of souvenir stalls that take up a much larger area than the temple itself. 💁‍♂️
⭐ Thousands of tourists flock here, there are huge lines to see the famous spots (if you look closely, you can see them in the photo).
⭐ The temple is protected by UNESCO.
⭐ Iconic photos of the Earth Temple are featured in many guides and travel brochures dedicated to Bali.
⭐ And we were here! 🤩😊 »

« Today, I checked out some homes. This view from a cozy single-story house is simply stunning! 😍🌳🌴🌺 Windows wide open, my heart is melting... and if there are views like this, it's hard not to be captivated.
Interestingly, to rent such homes, you'd need to spend several thousand dollars a month. Here, it's nothing like that — you can rent a classy villa for just around $1,000! And for $2,000, you could have exclusivity. 😄
For $500-600, you can find a lovely little house with a garden not too far from the beach. 🌳🏖️🏖️🏖️ If you're willing to live more simply, you could manage to rent a place for around $100! Everyone has different needs, and prices vary accordingly. 💰 »

« One thing you definitely need to come to Bali for is the furniture and interior decor. I love minimalism, but the pieces I see here could fill my entire apartment. The photos really don’t do it justice; they capture the creative spirit of the Balinese people instead. I’ll also try to show you the diverse statues of Buddha, elephants, paintings, lamps, and a bunch of other amazing things. The prices are quite reasonable too, probably around five times less than what you'd find in a local handmade market back home. 😊 »

« "Do you grow rice in your country?" the owner asks me. Rice fields stretch out to the horizon, and as I walk along the field, I come across banana, mango trees, papayas, and avocados. It’s been a while since I just strolled through fields like this :)

The cost of rice land is 5,000,000 rupees per square meter – around 420 dollars. »

« Today I had breakfast at a new place. It was just an amazing meal. All of it cost me $2.50! »

« A little more about food on Bali, specifically drinks.

We've tried so many fresh juices, in warungs, cafes, and villas. It always felt like they were diluted. Whenever we asked, everyone would reply in unison: "No way, juices in Bali aren’t diluted!" Today at breakfast, I ordered a juice, took a sip, and was shocked; it was real, rich juice.

As for alcohol, it's available and not too expensive, but it's not a steal either. A bottle of local beer, 0.6L, costs about $2. Normal beer, drinkable. But cocktails - that's a different story. They really don't know how to make them; it's not enjoyable, and the average price is around $4.50.

I read that local wine in Bali is pretty bad, but I decided to give it a shot anyway. The Hatten brand is decent, with semi-sweet and sweet options. It's definitely better than their cocktails by a long shot. If you’re not a huge wine connoisseur but just an average enthusiast, you'll probably enjoy it. The price for a bottle is around $12.

So, make your own conclusions about stocking up on alcohol at duty-free or not! 😄 »

« The fish market in Jimbaran, Bali, is a must-visit for everyone. I saw a similar one about five years ago in Hong Kong. The key is to overcome the initial discomfort and smell. The prices are quite reasonable. For around $10, you can buy lobsters, crabs, and tiger prawns. All of it can be cooked at nearby cafes for about $2. »

« In Bali, it's quite easy to feel like a millionaire! 😄 The 3,000,000 in local currency is actually just around $200. It's a fun place to enjoy life on a budget! 🌴✨ »

« I have a bag of Balinese rice chips. This is what we have instead of bread here. 😄 The chips cost very little. For example, the bag I'm holding costs $0.50. And they taste amazing! 🍚✨ »

« Ubud. Monkey Forest. Entry fee for adults is 40,000 IDR, and for children from 3 years old it’s 30,000 IDR.

The forest itself is really cool, with tall trees and vines. I’m a bit wary of monkeys, so I kept my distance. Though they don’t seem aggressive if you don’t have anything in your hands. Kids really enjoyed it, so it’s definitely worth a visit. 😄🌳🐒 »

« Yummy))) Durian straight from the plantations! Today we went to the northernmost part of Bali, and there are so many durians everywhere! They're sold on every corner, alongside rambutans, bananas, and guavas. The price for one durian ranges from $2 to $5 (depending on the seller's mood)... The aroma is divine; our rented car will probably keep that smell for months! »

« Today I visited the Batu Caves. It was my first time exploring a cave, aside from childhood memories of swimming into one in Turkey with my dad. The sensations were incredible, especially when the guide asked us to turn off our flashlights and we plunged into absolute darkness for 30 seconds, surrounded by the sounds of bats and crawling spiders.

The Batu Caves consist of several caves. There’s a steep staircase with 272 steps leading to the main cave, which you can see behind me. The entrance to the bright cave is free, while access to the dark cave costs 8.50 MYR (about $1.80). At the foot of the steps, as you can see, stands the statue of Murugan, the son of Shiva. Many Hindus pay their respects to him. The statue is 43 meters tall and is covered in gold. »
