Travel tips for Bali
Rent a scooter (IDR 60,000–80,000/day) in Canggu or Ubud for flexibility — but carry an international driving permit and wear a helmet. Traffic in Seminyak and Kuta is relentless.
Dress respectfully at temples: a sarong and sash are required. Many temples lend them free, or buy your own (IDR 30,000) to keep.
Ubud's best restaurants (Locavore, Hujan Locale, Mozaic) need reservations 1–2 weeks in advance for dinner.
Use Grab (the Southeast Asian Uber equivalent) in the south for transparent, metered fares. In Ubud, negotiate ojek (motorbike taxi) prices before getting on.
The Kecak fire dance at Pura Luhur Uluwatu (daily 6pm, IDR 100,000) is genuinely spectacular — arrive 30 minutes early for a cliff-edge seat.
Getting there
How to reach Bali
By Air
Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) in Denpasar serves direct flights from Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Sydney, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Dubai. Taxi to Seminyak: 20 min; to Ubud: 60–75 min (IDR 200,000–350,000).
By Road
Ferries run from Java (Ketapang–Gilimanuk, 45 min) and from Lombok (Padang Bai–Lembar, 4 hours). Car rental with driver is the most practical way to explore the island.
