Bali trip costs by traveler type and trip length: daily budgets, 5 to 10 day totals excluding flights, the cheapest months to go, and where the money actually goes. Dated August 2026. By Jean Goh, Travel Destinations Editor. Published 2026-08-13. Figures as of 2026-08-13. TL;DR: Excluding flights, Bali costs about US$40 to US$70 a day for budget solo travelers and US$80 to US$160 per person for mid-range couples as of August 2026, putting a typical 7 day mid-range trip at US$560 to US$1,120 per person; late January to March is the cheapest window. ## Key facts - Budget solo: US$40 to US$70 per day, as of August 2026 - Mid-range couple: US$80 to US$160 per person per day, as of August 2026 - 7 day mid-range total: US$560 to US$1,120 per person, excluding flights - Cheapest months: Late January to March; April to June for dry-season value - Biggest cost lever: Accommodation tier, then drivers and activities ## Where the money goes Accommodation sets the budget more than anything else, because Bali’s range is extreme: the same night can cost a US$8 hostel bed or a US$250 plus cliff resort. Food is famously cheap at the warung level, where a meal costs a few dollars, while beach-club and cafe days in Canggu or Seminyak can multiply the food line several times over. Transport is the quiet third line: with no public transit, most visitors alternate ride-hailing hops with private-driver days at US$35 to US$50, as of August 2026. Activity spending, US$10 to US$60 per person on active days, is detailed on our things to do in Bali page, with nightly rates by tier on the Bali hotel and villa prices page. ## Cheapest months and effective prices Late January to March is the cheapest window for the total trip, combining wet-season hotel troughs with the year’s lowest fares from regional hubs, as of August 2026. April to June and September to October buy dry-season weather at close to those prices; July, August and the year-end holidays are the peaks, when the same mid-range trip costs 30 to 60 percent more. Cashback lowers the number that actually leaves your account. Effective price is the destination cost above minus the cashback ShopBack pays back once the trip confirms, so the real spend sits below the sticker total. Booking through partner travel sites on the ShopBack network returns part of every hotel, villa and activity payment, and the ShopBack Travel Planner compares verified partner options side by side before you book; live rates sit on each store page rather than in this guide. ## Totals by trip length For a mid-range couple, per-person totals excluding international flights run US$560 to US$1,120 over 7 days and US$800 to US$1,600 over 10 days, as of August 2026. Budget solo travelers complete 5 days for US$200 to US$350. Because accommodation dominates, moving one tier down stretches the same total across noticeably more nights. ## Daily budgets - Budget solo: US$40 to US$70 per day (Guesthouse or hostel, warung meals, scooter or shared rides, cheap sights), as of 2026-08-13 - Mid-range couple (per person): US$80 to US$160 per day (Mid-range resort or villa split two ways, cafe and restaurant dining, drivers and ride-hailing, one paid activity most days), as of 2026-08-13 - Family of four (per person): US$70 to US$130 per day (Family villa or connecting rooms, mixed dining, private driver days, kid-priced activities), as of 2026-08-13 - Premium: US$250 and up per day (Luxury resort or staffed villa, destination dining, private drivers throughout, reserved experiences), as of 2026-08-13 ## Totals by trip length (excluding flights) - 5 days, budget solo: US$200 to US$350 - 7 days, mid-range couple, per person: US$560 to US$1,120 - 10 days, mid-range couple, per person: US$800 to US$1,600 Cheapest months: Late January to March, with April to June the best value for dry-season weather.
