How to Travel to Bali on a Budget?
Bali is a very budget-friendly destination if you plan accordingly. It may seem like a very expensive destination when you see all those breathtakingly beautiful Instagramable places and infinity pools in the middle of rice fields. Rest assured, you can have all those experiences for much less.
Follow my tips and make sure to learn from my experience!
1. What time of the year is the cheapest to go to Bali?
Bali can be experienced all year round. Nevertheless, the best time to travel to Bali is during the dry season. The dry season is from May to September, and there’s no rain during this period.
Bali’s wet season, and therefore, the cheapest season, is from October to April, the rain only lasts an hour or two. Because Bali has a distinctly tropical climate. Regardless of the season, you will rarely need anything more than a light jacket.
End-of January to mid-February is the cheapest period to fly to Bali in 2023, so start planning for January-February 2023 your cheapest trip to Bali.
From Europe, the cheapest connexion would be through Changi Airport in Singapour. From there you have very cheap direct flights with AirAsia to Denpasar. Air Asia and other budget airlines offer extremely cheap flights from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Bali as well, so make sure to check those routes as well. Sometimes its cheaper to plan each segment on your own through direct flights.
2. Budget Accommodations in Bali
Bali is the best place if you want to stay on a budget in beautiful villas and resorts. Here everything is so cheap, the service is impeccable and the places are simply breathtakingly beautiful.
