Airport hotel guide
Best hotels near Bali airport (DPS)
Ngurah Rai International Airport sits in Tuban, between Kuta and Jimbaran. If you land late, fly early, or have a long layover, a night near the airport beats a long drive in the dark. One hotel is inside the airport grounds with a covered walkway to the terminals. The other three are a short drive away, two with free shuttles.
How to choose
For an early flight, pick the Novotel and walk to the terminal. For a late arrival, pick any of the four: the HARRIS and Holiday Inn Express both run shuttles, and the Hilton Garden Inn shuttle is paid and needs booking 24 hours ahead. If you want a beach walk before your flight, the Holiday Inn Express and HARRIS are both minutes from Tuban and Segara beaches. Prices checked November 2026; confirm at booking.

Once you have slept, pick your base. Take the area quiz to match your trip style to an area, or compare Ubud, Seminyak, and Canggu side by side. For what stays cost in each area, see the Bali hotel prices page.
