How Much Does a Luxury Trip to Bali Cost?
The cost of a luxury trip to Bali is not fixed. It depends on several factors — accommodation type, dining preferences, commute, leisure activities, and the timing of your visit.
In this blog, we consider these elements to give you a clear idea of the potential cost range. You can then customise your Bali luxury holiday to suit your preferences.
Bali Luxury Trip Costs: Accommodation, Dining, Activities, and More
1. Luxury Accommodation Costs
Luxury accommodation in Bali can cost between $70 and $350 a night or higher.
This cost varies for several reasons:
- Staying in luxury areas like Ubud, Nusa Dua, and Uluwatu costs more.
- Properties that offer unrestricted views of the ocean or jungle are pricier.
- Room categories within hotels and resorts are priced differently based on comforts.
- Villas and suites are priced higher than hotel rooms.
Rooms and villas offer you amenities like on-site restaurants, pools, excellent service, and complimentary breakfast (at select places). If you choose a pool villa, you get a private pool all to yourself.
2. Luxury Dining Costs
Fine dining in Bali usually ranges from $10-25 per meal or more.
Your dining preferences can influence your luxury trip cost in the following ways:
- Location: If the restaurant is situated in a luxury area or tourist spot, the restaurant will be more expensive.
- Type of Menu: You can choose between à la carte and tasting menus. Both these menus have different price points. Tasting menus are more expensive.
- Wine and Beverage Selection: Many fine-dining restaurants offer high-quality, rare, or vintage wines from across the world. Premium beverage options mean higher prices. Some restaurants also offer assistance from sommeliers, adding to the price.
- Ambience: Posh furnishings, elegant setting and stunning views (jungle, ocean, or rice paddy) enhance the fine dining experience. Restaurants charge more for this unique offering.
- Service: Some fine dining restaurants offer private dining rooms for intimate and exclusive celebrations and romantic dinners.
3. Transport Options
There are plenty of transport options in Bali. They come with different prices.
| Travel Option | Price | Description |
| Bicycle Rental | $2-4 per day | This option is best for short distances. |
| Scooter Rental | $5-10 per day | This option is the quickest and easiest option for getting around Bali, especially in heavy traffic areas. |
| Non-app Scooter Taxi | $5-10 per trip | You can find local scooter taxis waiting in busy areas. Be ready to negotiate the price as they tend to be higher. |
| App-driven Scooter Taxi (Go-Jek & Grab) | $1-5 per trip | It’s easier to book these scooter taxis online. Plus, they are competitively priced. |
| Car Rental With Driver — Half or Full Day | $20-60 | We recommend this option to explore Bali comfortably as per your preference. |
| Taxi Cars | $5-20 per trip | They offer door-to-door service. They are suitable for longer distances or late-night travel. |
| Helicopter Transport | $500 – 3000 per trip | This option is for those who want to travel in true luxury. |
4. Luxury Leisure Activities Costs
Bali is excellent for adventure enthusiasts and culture seekers.
The island offers a huge list of activities like a cruise experience, private helicopter ride, Balinese cooking class, hot air balloon ride, white water rafting, sunrise trek at Mount Batur, stroll through rice terraces, and more.
The cost of these experiences varies. Some of them come with a very high price tag.
For example, when deciding to cruise in a yacht or take a helicopter ride, you can choose between being part of a group or opting for a private and customised ride. Obviously, the private option will be more expensive. But it comes with tons of benefits. Everything on the ride, right from the journey to dining options is set to match your tastes.
We recommend you research online listings and booking platforms to find the cost and availability of activities.
5. Seasonality
The time of the year affects the price of your luxury trip in Bali.
- Peak Season: The tourist season peaks during the dry months from June to August and during major holidays like Easter, Christmas, New Year, Chinese New Year and the End of Ramadan (Idul Fitri). The crowds also peak during events like the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival and Bali Arts Festival. During these times, luxury accommodation and activities are highly-priced.
- Low Season: The tourist numbers decrease in the rains (November to March). It rains frequently during these months and the humidity is unbearably high. Naturally, the demand for accommodations and activities is low. Many luxury resorts and hotels may offer discounted rates to attract visitors.
- Shoulder Season: This season is the period between peak and low seasons. It balances favourable weather conditions and lower prices. During this time, luxury resorts and hotels may offer value-added packages.
