Bali is known for its delicious, healthy, and affordable food – from smoothie bowls to grilled seafood and spicy curries. You'll find options for every budget, whether you’re grabbing a nasi goreng from a warung or trying a trendy jungle café.

We recommending budgeting around $250 USD for meals and extras, depending on your eating and drinking habits.

Bali is one of the most diet-friendly destinations in Southeast Asia – with plenty of cafes offering vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. That said, some traditional dishes may include fish sauces or hidden animal products. 

If you have strict dietary needs, we always recommend bringing a few snacks just in case and letting us know in advance so we can help you navigate meals along the way.

You’ll stay in stylish boutique hotels and beachside stays, each selected for comfort, character, and great locations. Expect a mix of jungle vibes and island relaxation — cozy rooms, chill hangout spots, and pools perfect for afternoon dips. Rooms may be smaller than U.S. standards but are thoughtfully designed and full of charm.

Pack light, breathable clothing for hot and humid days, plus a swimsuit, comfortable sandals, and sunscreen. For temple visits, bring a sarong or scarf to cover shoulders and knees. You’ll also want bug spray, a reusable water bottle, and a hat or sunglasses for sun protection. A few elevated outfits are nice for group dinners or nights out.

If you have more time, there’s plenty more to see within Indonesia. You can explore nearby spots like Canggu or Seminyak, or head to the Nusa Islands for snorkeling and cliffs. From Bali, it’s also easy to reach other parts of Asia, destinations like the Philippines or Thailand are just a short flight away.

Plan to arrive at Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) in Denpasar by 1:00 PM on Day 1 so you have time to check in and join the welcome dinner. A Grab (local rideshare app), Bluebird taxi, or private transfer are all reliable ways to reach the hotel. 

On Day 10, the trip ends in Uluwatu, and you're free to depart anytime after breakfast. The drive back to the airport takes around 30min by car, so plan accordingly.

It’s a well-balanced paced trip with time to explore and recharge. You’ll move between Ubud, Gili Islands and Uluwatu – each with its own rhythm, with a mix of planned activities and free afternoons to surf, wander, or sip coconuts by the pool.

This trip is ideal for solo travelers craving a mix of beaches, culture, and nature. You’ll explore ancient temples, chill in tropical cafes, learn about Balinese traditions, and connect with a fun, easygoing crew. It’s relaxed, meaningful, and packed with scenic beauty – think waterfalls, rice terraces, and island sunsets.

Yes, most travelers must get a Tourist Visa on Arrival, which costs 500,000 IDR (about $35 USD) and is valid for 30 days. You can get this at the airport in Bali or apply online in advance with the electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VOA) if you're entering through Ngurah Rai International Airport. 

Be sure your passport is valid for at least six months and that you have a return or onward flight. For the most updated information, please check a reputable source.

Expect warm, sunny weather with highs around 85°F (29°C) and cooler evenings in the jungle. It’s ideal for outdoor adventures and exploring without the heavy rains of the wet season.
