How to spend less

  • Eat at warungs (Warung Sopa in Ubud, Warung Mak Beng in Sanur) rather than tourist-facing cafes; a full meal runs IDR 25,000-50,000 versus IDR 100,000+
  • Rent a scooter monthly (IDR 800,000-1,200,000/month) instead of daily if you're staying more than two weeks
  • Skip the paid Bali Swing spots at Tegallalang; Sekumpul and Jatiluwih offer views without the photo-spot markup
  • Book villas through direct-booking Instagram or WhatsApp with the property rather than Booking.com, often 15-20% cheaper for stays over a week
