Bali hotel prices by area
Bali hotel prices by area: the full comparison
Bali hotel prices vary more by area than by star rating. A night in Uluwatu costs roughly four times a night in Nusa Dua on average, and the cheapest stays on the island are a tenth of the priciest. This page puts every area side by side, with average rates, budget floors, and luxury ceilings, all from sourced figures and our own November 2026 price index.
Cheapest to priciest: the ranking
Each bar shows the average of the midpoint nightly rates for the four hotels in that area's guide on this site, November 2026. Nusa Dua is the cheapest area on average at $178 a night; Uluwatu is the priciest at $713.
Average rate, budget floor, and luxury ceiling by area
The average is the mean of the four hotels in each area guide. The budget floor and luxury ceiling are the lowest and highest nightly rates among those same hotels. The VoyageHacks budget range is an independent published range for budget stays in that area, where one exists.
| Area | Average nightly rate | Budget stays from | Luxury stays up to | Budget range (VoyageHacks, 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nusa Dua | $178 | $40 | $300 | Not published |
| Canggu | $198 | $25 | $450 | $25 to $45 |
| Sanur | $268 | $70 | $500 | $20 to $40 |
| Seminyak | $314 | $55 | $700 | $25 to $50 |
| Ubud | $684 | $25 | $2,500 | $18 to $35 |
| Uluwatu | $713 | $55 | $2,200 | Not published |
| All areas | $392 | $25 | $2,500 |
Averages, floors, and ceilings are from the November 2026 Bali hotel price index on this site (24 hotels, four per area). Budget ranges are from VoyageHacks, 2026. Kuta, which has no area guide on this site yet, has a published VoyageHacks budget range of $15 to $30 a night, the cheapest budget band on the island.
What the averages hide
Uluwatu ($713) and Ubud ($684) look expensive because of the top end. Both areas are dominated by luxury villas and resorts: Bulgari and Alila Villas in Uluwatu, Four Seasons Sayan and Hanging Gardens in Ubud. Both also have budget options, with rooms from about $25 in Ubud and $55 in Uluwatu, so the average is pulled up by the ceiling, not the floor.
Seminyak ($314) has the widest spread. Beachfront luxury runs $400 to $700, while central Seminyak has solid rooms from about $55. It is the area where the choice of hotel matters most to the bill.
Nusa Dua ($178) is the cheapest average, and the narrowest range. Big resorts run $140 to $300, with a rare budget beachfront option from about $40. There is no ultra-luxury ceiling pulling the average up, and no backpacker floor pulling it down.
Canggu ($198) is the budget traveler's beach base. Surf hotels from about $25 and luxury from about $165, with the lowest average of any beach area except Nusa Dua. See the Canggu vs Seminyak comparison for how the two beach bases differ beyond price.
By tier, island-wide
Across the 24 hotels in our area guides, the average midpoint nightly rate is $392 and the median is $250. By tier:
| Tier | Hotels | Average nightly rate | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Budget (under $100) | 6 | $68 | Tegal Sari, FRii Bali, Bali Relaxing Resort |
| Mid-range ($100 to $400) | 12 | $259 | Alila Ubud, Conrad Bali, Grand Hyatt Bali |
| Luxury ($400 and up) | 6 | $983 | Four Seasons Sayan, Bulgari, Hanging Gardens |
For a second view, Trip.com's published 12-month averages by star tier are: 3-star $104 a night, 4-star $257, and 5-star $534 (weekend rates; weekday rates are nearly identical). The 4-star figure of $257 lines up closely with our mid-range average of $259, which is a useful cross-check that the two sources are measuring the same market.
What we do not publish, and why: per-area averages broken down by tier (for example, the average mid-range rate in Ubud alone). Each area guide has four hotels, so a per-area tier cell would rest on one or two hotels, which is too thin to publish as an average. We show the area average, the budget floor, and the luxury ceiling instead, and the tier averages island-wide, where the sample is 6 to 12 hotels per tier. If a guide claims a per-area tier average from a handful of hotels, ask for the sample size.
Methodology
Each hotel on this site carries an approximate nightly rate range, found on booking sites and guides in November 2026. We take the midpoint of each range, then average the midpoints across the hotels in each group. The sample is the 24 hotels in our six area guides: four hotels per area, chosen to span budget, mid-range, and luxury in each area. This is not a market-wide survey of every hotel in Bali, and it is not a booking quote. It tracks the hotels we list, so readers can compare areas and tiers on a consistent basis. The monthly edition, with movement over time, is on the Bali hotel price index page.
Rates vary by season, room type, and availability. Low season (November to March) cuts rates 25 to 40 percent (VoyageHacks, 2026). Many Bali rates add about 21 percent tax and service. The Bali tourist levy (IDR 150,000, about $10 per person, once per trip) applies to all visitors. Always confirm the current rate before you book.
