How much should travelers budget per day in Bali for transport, food, attractions and extras?

TL;DR

A budget-minded couple can spend about IDR 1,000,000 (around US$57) per day by using a scooter and eating simply. US$100 per day is generally enough for transport and food, while shopping, beach loungers, massages and restaurant dinners can push costs much higher.

What the community said

A budget day for two can cost around IDR 1,000,000: IDR 150,000 for a scooter, about IDR 20,000 for fuel, roughly IDR 100,000 for attraction entry and parking, up to IDR 400,000 for one substantial meal, and up to IDR 200,000 for fruit, water, soft drinks or occasional beer. This was estimated at about US$57 for two people.

If you only need transport and food, around US$100 per day is considered more than sufficient. Plan a higher budget mainly for shopping and additional activities.

A pricier day can build up from smaller expenses: two scooter trips at IDR 80,000 each, IDR 200,000 for beach loungers, a IDR 350,000 lunch, a IDR 300,000 massage and a IDR 500,000 dinner. A IDR 2,000,000 Uniqlo purchase increases the total sharply, but this is not an everyday expense.
