Bali on a budget

Seven days in Bali can cost $35–60 per day mid-range if you skip peak season and stay away from beach-club resorts. Here is the breakdown.

When to go

April–June and September–October: dry season with lower prices. July–August and Christmas are peak — accommodation doubles.

Canggu and Ubud guesthouses: $25–40 per night with breakfast. Book the first two nights only, then negotiate locally for weekly rates.

A scooter is $5–7 per day; taxis and ride-hailing are cheap but add up. Rent from a reputable shop with helmets and insurance.

Local warungs: $2–4 per meal. Beach clubs are the budget killer — pick one sunset spot and skip the rest.
