❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How many days do I need in Bali?
7-10 days is ideal. Split between Ubud (culture, rice terraces, 3-4 days), Seminyak/Canggu (beaches, dining, 2-3 days), and Uluwatu/Nusa Penida (cliffs, water, 2-3 days).
Is Bali really that cheap?
Yes. A warung meal is $2-3, a villa with pool can be $40-60/night, a private driver for the day is $35-50. Even luxury experiences (spa treatments, fine dining) are a fraction of Western prices.
