To ensure you have the best time, we’ve put together the ultimate 2-week Bali itinerary! In this travel guide, we’ll detail the top places to visit, popular accommodation options, how to get around, and more.

The Ultimate 2-Week Bali Itinerary
There are so many amazing places to visit in Bali. Although we spent a month exploring this beautiful island, we still only just scratched the surface, so you’ll need to prioritise where you visit.
This 2-week Bali itinerary will see you visit some of the island’s best spots. Get ready to embrace the nightlife of Kuta, take to the waves in Uluwatu, and visit cultural attractions in Ubud.
Here’s our recommendation for how to spend 2 weeks in Bali!
Days 1-2: Kuta

The first stop of this 2-week Bali itinerary will be the popular tourist spot of Kuta. It’s just a short drive from Bali’s international airport and is a great place to relax after a long flight.
Although Kuta certainly isn’t known to have the best beaches on the island, there are plenty of attractions to visit. This coastal town is also one of the most lively spots on Bali, making it a great spot for backpackers and keen party-goers. Additionally, there are plenty of fantastic dining and shopping opportunities!
Kuta is one of the more touristy areas of Bali and certainly isn’t to everyone’s taste. However, we think it’s a great spot to spend a day or two, especially at the start of your trip.
Things To Do In Kuta

There are plenty of things to do in Kuta, but releasing sea turtles is certainly one of the best. Along Kuta Beach, you’ll find the Bali Sea Turtle Society (BSTS) – an organisation that helps to protect the local turtles.
The BSTS allows people to take place in sea turtle releases which is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. These releases are announced on the charity’s Facebook page and typically take place in the late afternoon.
Here are some other things to do in Kuta
- Relax on Kuta Beach – Travellers can also enjoy a range of watersports and Kuta Beach is a great spot to watch the sunset, especially with a Bingtang beer.
- Eat at the Hard Rock Cafe
- Have fun at Waterbom Bali – You can purchase your 1-day entrance ticket in advance. There are plenty of thrilling water slides to choose from as well as a lazy river.
- Enjoy the local nightlife
- Learn how to surf – Those interested in surfing can opt to have a few lessons. This 2-hour private surfing lesson is perfect for beginners and includes all the equipment you need.
Where To Stay In Kuta
Budget: Cara Cara Inn
Just a short walk from Kuta Beach, you’ll find the budget-friendly Cara Cara Inn. The private rooms here are very affordable, with many sleeping between 2-4 people – some even have a cool bunk bed design!
Cara Cara Inn is a fantastic spot for backpackers, especially as this place has excellent facilities. On-site facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, pop-up bar, BBQ, lounge area, sundown deck, and laundromat.
Mid-range: YELLO Hotel Kuta Beachwalk Bali
YELLO Hotel Kuta Beachwalk Bali is located near the Beachwalk Shopping Center so is in a great location. The rooms here boast a funky decor and some of them offer garden access where you can relax outside.
This property is a great option for couples but interconnecting rooms are also available for families. Guests can enjoy an on-site restaurant, business facilities, a gaming station, a garden area, and a daily breakfast buffet.
Luxury: The Anvaya Beach Resort Bali
The Anvaya Beach Resort Bali is a luxury 5* hotel, just a short walk from Waterbom Bali. Located along the beachfront, this property offers the ultimate relaxing getaway – especially if you’re after a romantic stay!
There are plenty of beautiful suites to choose from, some of which offer a private pool. If you choose to stay at this hotel, you can enjoy the on-site restaurants, pool bar, spa, and landscaped tropical gardens.
How To Get Around Kuta

Many of Kuta’s most popular tourist attractions are within walking distance so you won’t have any issues getting around. Just be cautious when walking around, even on the pavement, as local drivers can be very reckless.
If you do want to travel further out, you could always hire a scooter. Rentals can cost as little as 60,000 IDR (£2.95) a day although we’d only recommend this option if you’re an experienced driver.
Your other option is to use a taxi. Bluebird Taxis is a great option if you’re looking for a local taxi. Alternatively, you can use the ride-hailing service GRAB. Both have an app so you know exactly what you should be paying!
Days 3-5: Canggu

Canggu is one of our favourite places on the island and needs to be on your 2-week Bali itinerary. Although it’s much more developed than the first time we visited, this coastal town still offers a laid-back and relaxing vibe.
Surrounded by lush rice paddies and dramatic shores, Canggu boasts a great back-drop. Along the coastline, there are plenty of charming eateries where you can watch the sunset and enjoy a cocktail or two!
The great thing about staying in Canggu is that there are plenty of unique things to do, ranging from jewellery-making to puppy yoga. You’ll also be spoilt for choice when it comes to accommodation as there are lots of beautiful villas to choose from – they make for the perfect base if you don’t want to travel around too much.
Things To Do In Canggu

While staying in Canggu, we’d recommend spending a day at FINNS Beach Club. This popular beach club boasts a stunning beachfront location and is the perfect place to kick back and relax!
If you book online, you can get a great deal on the day beds. While here, enjoy stunning beach views, an outdoor swimming pool, live DJs, swim-up bars, and more. There are plenty of fantastic food options too, ranging from Indian to Italian. In our opinion, no 2-week Bali itinerary is complete without spending a day here.
Here are some other things to do in Canggu:
- Indulge in delicious food – There are so many amazing restaurants to choose from including Old Man’s, Santorini Greek Restaurant, Village Green Canggu, Penny Lane, and Moana Fish Eatery.
- Wander around the local markets
- Enjoy a jewellery-making class – This 2-hour jewellery-making class will see you create your very own masterpiece under the guidance of a silversmith instructor.
- Learn how to surf
- Relax at puppy yoga – If you’re after a unique experience why not enjoy this cute puppy yoga class? Part of your ticket will also go towards animal association protection.
Where To Stay In Canggu
Budget: The Hostel Canggu
The Hostel Canggu is one of the most affordable options for backpackers. This place offers private rooms and dormitory beds and boasts a social vibe, making it a great place for those wanting to meet other travellers!
With an outdoor swimming pool, pool table, garden area, shared lounge, and a bar, The Hostel Canggu has plenty of awesome facilities. You can also enjoy evening entertainment during your stay.
Mid-range: Amandaya Canggu
Amandaya Canggu is another brilliant option, offering gorgeous suites and rooms. The loft rooms are especially beautiful and offer a fantastic design, with a spacious living room and separate bedroom area.
If you choose to stay here, you can splash around in the outdoor pool and indulge in a tasty breakfast. You’ll also be surrounded by food options, ranging from restaurants to coffee shops.
Luxury: Lalasa Villas Canggu
Lalasa Villas Canggu is a top choice if you’re after a luxurious getaway. Located just a 10-minute walk from Berawa Beach, this place is set in a tranquil area and offers luxury villas (some with a private pool).
On-site, you can dine at Kecambah Resto & Cafe, where you can enjoy tasty Indonesian and Western cuisine. Better yet, relax at the on-site spa where guests can have a massage, facial, body scrub, and more!
How To Get Around Canggu
Canggu is relatively spread out with hotels, restaurants, and shops stretching for miles. Many tourist amenities (including the local markets) are located near the beach, so you’ll have no issues wandering around.
If you want to head a bit further out, there are plenty of taxis in the area. Bluebird and GRAB are our personal favourites, or you can use Gojek. We’d try to avoid using local taxis as it’s easy for them to rip you off!
Many travellers also choose to hire a scooter, with rentals costing as little as 70,000 IDR (around £3.40). However, the roads in Canggu are crazy and the traffic can be pretty insane, so you’ll need to be experienced.
Days 6-9: Ubud

Ubud is undoubtedly one of the best places to visit in Bali. Famous for its lush rice terraces, holy sites, and cultural attractions, there’s something for every traveller in this charming town. As such, this town is a priority for your 2-week Bali itinerary!
Although Ubud is just under an hour’s drive from Canggu, it couldn’t be more different – get ready to spot macaques jumping over rooftops, indulge in delicious local cuisine, and watch traditional Balinese shows.
Another bonus of staying in Ubud is the endless variety of dining options! Not to mention, there are some beautiful villas to relax in. You can even treat yourself to a spa treatment or two after a long day of exploring. As there’s so much to do in this area, we’d recommend spending at least 3 days in Ubud.
Things To Do In Ubud

The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is one of the most popular attractions in Ubud. Covering around 12.5 hectares, this nature reserve is home to over 1,260 long-tailed macaques so it’s a great spot for nature lovers. This makes it a must for any 2-week Bali itinerary!
As you explore the reserve’s paved trails, you’ll spot macaques clambering through the trees. Sometimes, they’ll even try to jump on you – so keep all your belongings out of sight. The Ubud Monkey Forest also boasts various temples and Balinese statues.
Here are some other things to do in Ubud:
- Take a cooking class – There’s no better way to learn about the local cuisine. This authentic cooking class lasts for around 3.5 hours and includes a market visit if you choose the morning class!
- Walk along the Campuhan Ridge Walk
- Visit Ceking/Tegallalang Rice Terrace – This Ubud highlights tour will take you to one of Ubud’s lush rice fields, where you can admire sweeping views (especially if you’ve got a drone).
- Explore Goa Gajah
- Admire Tegenungan Waterfall – This Bali waterfall tour will take you to Tegenungan, where you can take a dip. Alternatively, admire the views from Omma Dayclub.
Where To Stay In Ubud

Budget: Merthayasa Bungalows
Merthayasa Bungalows is a great budget option and is where we stayed during our trip! With an outdoor swimming pool, garden area, laundry facilities, and free WiFi, this place has everything you could need.
The rooms here are perfect for couples and many offer an outside space where you can relax. Breakfast is included with your stay and you may even spot macaques clambering over the rooftops!
Mid-range: Jati Cottage
In downtown Ubud, there’s the charming Jati Cottage. This restaurant boasts an outdoor pool, sun terrace, and on-site restaurant. It also offers car and bicycle hire if you’re planning to explore the surrounding area.
A highlight of staying at Jati Cottage has to be the suites, with many offering lush garden views. There’s an on-site spa if you’re looking to relax, where you can enjoy a body massage, facial, body scrub, and more.
Luxury: Bisma Eight Ubud
Bisma Eight Ubud is a luxury 5* hotel, located just a few minutes away from central Ubud. The suites at this hotel are beautiful, with many offering a private balcony and stunning views – perfect for a romantic getaway!
On-site facilities at this hotel include an outdoor pool, natural gardens, fitness centre, spa, garden, and sun terrace. Complimentary activities include rooftop yoga, Balinese cooking classes, and Balinese dance lessons.
How To Get Around Ubud
Ubud is one of the smaller tourist spots in Bali so it’s easy to get around. You’ll find that many attractions are located close together, so you can walk between popular spots such as Ubud Palace and the Monkey Forest.
However, you’ll find that many attractions are located outside of the town centre. If you’re a confident driver, you can pick up a scooter for as little as 60,000 IDR (£2.95) a day. Just be aware of how busy the roads can get!
Alternatively, you can hire a private driver like we did. There’s also the option of getting around by taxi, or there are plenty of full-day tours to choose from, such as this private Ubud tour.
Days 10-11: Nusa Dua

Nusa Dua is another great addition to your 2-week Bali itinerary. This popular resort area is located around a 30-minute drive from Densapar and is famous for its pristine beaches and luxury hotels.
As there aren’t a ton of things to do in Nusa Dua, this makes it the perfect spot to relax. Whether you’re looking to relax on the beach or enjoy some watersports, Nusa Dua has something for everyone!
Compared to other areas of Bali, Nusa Dua offers a laid-back and luxurious vibe, which can only be reached by going through security checks. Although hotels may be more costly in this part of the island, there are still accommodation options for every budget, making this spot a must if you only have 14 days in Bali.
Things To Do In Nusa Dua

A highlight of any visit to Nusa Dua is the beaches. Nusa Dua Beach is certainly one of the most popular, boasting pristine sandy shores, deep blue waters, and plenty of tourist amenities.
Though some of Nusa Dua Beach is private, there are areas where the public can visit. Not only that, but you’ll find plenty of fantastic restaurants in the area – many of which offer sea views!
Here are some other things to do in Nusa Dua:
- Watch the Devdan Show – At the Bali Nusa Dua Theatre, you can watch the Devdan Show where you’ll learn about Indonesian culture through acrobatics, dance, music, and special effects.
- Shop on the Bali Collection
- Enjoy some watersports – From Nusa Dua, head on an action-packed watersports adventure. This includes parasailing, jet skiing, banana boats, and donut boats.
- Visit the Water Blow
- Dine out – There are dining options for everyone! Popular restaurants include Nusa By/Suka, Kekeb Restaurant, Manarai Beach House, Mandala Bar & Grill, and Misanto Café de Luxe.
Where To Stay In Nusa Dua
Budget: Adhi Homestay
Budget travellers can enjoy an affordable stay at Adhi Homestay. This property offers spacious single and double rooms which feature plenty of amenities, including free WiFi, air conditioning, and a private bathroom.

Mid-range: The Nest Hotel Nusa Dua
The Nest Hotel Nusa Dua is located just a short walk from Nusa Dua Beach. This hotel offers a variety of beautiful rooms and suites that sleep two people – making for the perfect romantic getaway!
Guests at The Nest Nusa Dua can enjoy on-site facilities including a rooftop infinity pool, lounge, fitness centre, and spa. There are multiple dining options too including The Roost Roofscape Restaurant.
Luxury: Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort
If you’re after a luxury getaway then Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort is the perfect option. This hotel offers a scenic beachfront setting, excellent facilities, and luxurious suites (some of which offer a private plunge pool).
With three restaurants, two bars, lagoon pools, and an on-site spa, this 5* resort has everything you could think of. You’ll also be in a great location for exploring Nusa Dua and taking advantage of its beautiful beaches.
How To Get Around Nusa Dua

Like many of the popular towns and resort areas in Bali, Nusa Dua is relatively easy to get around. Some of the popular attractions can be reached by walking, especially as there are plenty of paths in the area.
If you want to travel further out, you can take advantage of the local taxis. Bluebird Taxis offers the most value for money as you can download the app and see exactly what you should be paying. Alternatively, your hotel will likely call a taxi for you if asked. There’s also the option of hiring a private driver to explore the surrounding area.
Days 12-14: Uluwatu

To make the most of your 2-week Bali itinerary, you need to visit Uluwatu. Thanks to the area’s dramatic clifftops, beautiful beaches, and epic waves, it’s a popular coastal retreat for travellers.
Located on the south coast away from the tourist spots of Kuta and Canggu, Uluwatu offers a completely different experience. Imagine charming sea-view restaurants, traditional spas, cultural attractions, pristine sandy shores, and more!
Whether you’re after an authentic getaway or you’d prefer a luxury escape, Uluwatu is a great destination. There’s no shortage of accommodation options and you’ll find some fantastic beach clubs in the area. There are plenty of tourist amenities too, ranging from local restaurants to fine dining options.
Things To Do In Uluwatu

Uluwatu Temple is a must-visit during your 2-week Bali itinerary. Perched high on a steep cliff, this Balinese temple offers superb sea views – you’ll also walk along a scenic coastal path to get here.
Also known as Pura Luhur Uluwatu, this place is one of the island’s key temples. Just keep an eye out for the resident macaques who have been known to go after people’s belongings!
Here are some other things to do in Uluwatu:
- Watch a traditional Kecak dance – You can purchase an entrance ticket online for this unique cultural performance, where you can enjoy vibrant costumes and whirling flames.
- Admire the views from Karang Boma Cliff
- Learn how to surf – There are plenty of surfing lessons in Uluwatu. This 2-hour lesson is suitable for beginners and intermediate surfers and is limited to a small group of six participants.
- Relax on Padang Padang Beach
- Enjoy the food scene – Popular dining spots in Ulutwatu include Ulu Cliffhouse, Single Fin Bali, El Kabron, and Mana Uluwatu Restaurant & Bar (all of which offer epic sea views).
Where To Stay In Uluwatu
Budget: The Ulus Klumpu
The Ulus Klumpu is a charming property, located near Nyang Nyang Beach. It’s set in a great location and offers free WiFi, free private parking, and a terrace. Bicycle rentals and an airport shuttle service are also available.
If you choose to stay here, you’ll be staying in a quaint wooden bungalow. These small bungalows sleep two people making them a fabulous option for couples. They even offer an outside area with seating!
Mid-range: Uluwatu Jungle Villa
Uluwatu Jungle Villa is located a short walk from Suluban Beach and Blue Point Beach. You’ll also find Uluwatu Temple nearby (as well as various dining options) so you’ll be in a great location to explore.
Uluwatu Jungle Villa offers spacious double rooms which feature plenty of amenities. Guests can also take advantage of the outdoor swimming pool and pool bar, as well as the property’s car rental service.
Luxury: Ulu Cliffhouse
Ulu Cliffhouse is a great base for your 2-week Bali itinerary (or at least part of it). This 5* hotel is set in a beautiful location, right on the cliffside so offers breathtaking sea views!
There are various ocean-view suites to choose from but the facilities are what sets this place apart. On-site, there’s an outdoor swimming pool, nightclub, spa, restaurant, and bar. Yoga and Pilates classes also take place.
How To Get Around Uluwatu

Due to its relatively remote location, getting around Uluwatu can be more difficult. Many of the popular spots like Uluwatu Temple are located out of the main area, so you’ll have to use some form of transport.
Many people choose to hire a scooter in Uluwatu as rentals are very affordable. There’s also the option of using taxis to get around; either local taxis (go for Bluebird Taxis) or ride-hailing services such as GRAB and Gojek.
If you want to make the most of your time, hiring a private driver is always a good way to go! Alternatively, you can opt for a full-day Uluwatu tour, such as this one which lasts for several hours.
Only Have A Week In Bali?

Although we’d recommend spending at least 2 weeks in Bali, not everyone has that kind of time. If you only have 7 days, then you’ll need to condense your itinerary.
Here’s an example itinerary so you can still visit the highlights:
Canggu: Days 1-2
Ubud: Days 3-5
Uluwatu: Days 6-7
*We’d suggest spending day 7 in Uluwatu and then allowing an extra day for your journey back home if you can!
Where else should you visit?
Although you can see the best of Bali in 2 weeks, there are some other fantastic places to visit if you have extra time. Let’s take a look at some of the other options!
Seminyak
Booking.comAnother great addition to any Bali itinerary is the coastal seaside town of Seminyak. Boasting a laidback vibe, luxury resorts, iconic eateries, and sandy shores, it’s the perfect place to relax!
Seminyak Beach is certainly one of the area’s highlights although the neighbouring Double Six Beach certainly holds its own – you can either catch some sun or enjoy some watersports.
As well as Potato Head Beach Club, you’ll find plenty of dining and shopping opportunities in Seminyak. Alternatively, relax in one of the town’s spas or embrace the surfing scene here! As you can see there are plenty of things to do in Seminyak and there’s no shortage of accommodation options to choose from.
Lombok

The island of Lombok is one of the Lesser Sunda Islands. As it’s less developed, Lombok offers a more authentic side to Indonesia and is a quieter alternative compared to Bali. If you decide to visit – you can enjoy the best of both worlds!
Lombok is home to Gunung Rinjani, the second-highest volcano in Indonesia. At 3,726 m (12,224 feet) high, Mount Rinjani offers quite the challenge for hikers but you’ll be rewarded with fantastic views!
While in Lombok, you’ll also want to spend time relaxing on the beaches and chasing waterfalls. Best of all, you can stay in a local homestay to really get a feel for what this island and its people have to offer.
Gilli Islands

If you’re a beach lover, why not head over to the Gilli Islands? These islands are located off the coast of Lombok and there are three of them; Gili Trawangan (also known as Gilli T), Gili Meno and Gili Air.
These islands are the definition of a tropical paradise, characterised by swaying palm trees, turquoise waters, and white sands. Each one has something special to offer too! Gilli T is famous for being the ‘party destination’, while Gili Meno and Gili Air offer a more laid-back vibe.
Although there are plenty of things to do on these islands, snorkelling is often the go-to, as the marine life in these waters is incredibly diverse.
Nusa Islands

Located off the coast of Bali, the Nusa Islands are made up of three islands; Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Penida and Nusa Ceningan. Travellers can access the islands by ferry or fast boat (depending on your budget).
Nusa Penida is perhaps the most popular island, with popular spots including Kelingking Beach, Angel’s Billabong, Crystal Bay, and Diamond Beach. It’s also a fantastic spot for snorkelling, as you can see manta rays in the surrounding waters all year round.
Nusa Penida is by far the largest island, but Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan are connected via a bridge. No matter which one you choose to visit, you’re sure to have a fantastic time!
*Of course, you can also swap this 2-week Bali itinerary around if you’d prefer to include other destinations.
How To Get To Bali

As Bali is an island, flying is by far the most popular way to get here. Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) is the main airport and is located just a short drive from Kuta (approximately 10 minutes without traffic).
Direct flights arrive from all over Asia, including countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, and Thailand. You can also catch a direct flight from certain places in Australia and the Middle East.
Just be aware that when you leave the airport, you’ll likely be harassed by local taxi drivers. To avoid this, arrange a private transfer with your hotel. You can opt for a taxi, but you’ll likely get overcharged.
Alternatively, you can arrive by ferry if you’re already travelling around Asia. You can travel from Lombok, the Gilli Islands, or the Nusa Islands, as well as the island of Java. Ferry prices tend to be very affordable but they vary depending on the route and whether you opt for a traditional ferry or fast-boat service.
How To Get Around Bali

As there’s only one airport in Bali and public transport is extremely limited, getting around can be difficult.
Due to this, we’d recommend hiring a private driver. You’ll get to explore the island with a local and you won’t have to worry about getting around Bali – all the hard work will be done for you!
Hiring a driver in Bali is extremely affordable – costing as little as 600,000 IDR (£30) for a full day (around 8-10 hours). This is the total cost and it includes fuel so you can just split it between yourselves. Getting a private driver in Bali is easy and there are plenty of options, but this is who we chose:
Just be aware that the traffic in Bali can be crazy. It can sometimes take hours to get between destinations, especially if you’re travelling near the popular tourist spots of Kuta and Canggu! As such, allow for more time when travelling between destinations on this 2-week Bali itinerary.
Other Ways To Get Around Bali Include:
- Taxis – Bluebird Taxis is the best option for local taxis in Bali as they have an app so you know exactly what you’ll be paying in advance. You can also use GRAB and Gojek.
- Kura-Kura Bus – Although not the most convenient option, the Kura-Kura bus offers a shuttle service between Kuta and Ubud. Unfortunately, this service doesn’t run very regularly.
- Hire a scooter – Hiring a scooter is very affordable in Bali so it’s a popular way to get around. However, the roads are crazy and there are plenty of reckless drivers so you should only do this if you’re experienced.
- Day tours – Tours such as this popular Instagram highlights tour offer a great way to see a lot in a short amount of time. Unfortunately, they aren’t any good for actually getting between destinations.
When is the best time to visit Bali?

You can visit Bali all year round as the island boasts a tropical climate. Travellers can expect average temperatures of between 28°C and 32°C (82°F to 90°F) no matter the time of year, as they don’t vary much.
However, there are two main seasons in Bali – the dry season (April to September) and the wet season (November to March). As the name suggests, the dry season offers the best weather and is when the majority of travellers choose to visit.
July to August is especially popular as it’s at the height of the dry season. Unfortunately, the tourist spots can be quite crowded and you’ll likely find that flights and accommodation are more expensive!
Alternatively, you can visit in the shoulder season (April to June/September to October). The island will be less crowded and you’ll get better deals. If you don’t mind visiting in the wet season, you’ll find that Bali will be much quieter. Just be aware that the weather will be much more unpredictable.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bali


How long do I need in Bali?
We’d highly recommend spending at least 2 weeks in Bali. This will give you enough time to visit the main tourist spots, relax on the beach, enjoy some of the island’s cultural attractions, and of course – relax!
During our first trip to Bali, we were lucky enough to backpack around the island for a month. This gave us the chance to really embrace the hotspots. However, you can certainly see the best of Bali in two weeks.
What is a good budget for Bali?
We’d suggest a budget of at least £25-£35 per person per day. This will be enough for a backpacker travelling through Asia, who doesn’t mind staying in a cheap hostel room and indulging in the local cuisine.
Bali is one of the most affordable destinations we’ve visited (although prices were slightly more expensive during our last trip). As such, you can either travel on a shoestring or opt for a luxury getaway – for a great price!
How much money do you need for 2 weeks in Bali?
This will all depend on how you choose to spend your two weeks in Bali. Those on a budget can expect to spend £400-£500 for 14 days – this includes low-cost accommodation, local meals, and a few attractions.
However, there’s no shortage of luxury accommodation or fine dining options. As such, the roof is the limit when it comes to trip costs. Just be aware that flights will add £100s to your total budget so allow for this!
Is Bali cheaper than Thailand?
Bali and Thailand are two very affordable destinations in Southeast Asia. In our experience, the two countries are similar in price, but it does depend on where you visit – naturally, the touristy areas will be more expensive.
Just be aware that prices in both Bali and Thailand seem to have crept up in the last few years. However, the two destinations are still perfect for backpackers as you can get street food and accommodation for great prices!
Final Thoughts On This 2-week Bali Itinerary
