Accommodation

Most travellers are driven to explore Bali owing to the gorgeous private bungalows and luxury resorts that it is home to. Since most bookings are made online, it’s important to read all reviews and ensure that the resort is accessible. Bali is known for its lush and thick countryside and most people are attracted to the untouched beauty. But accessibility is an important part of choosing your accommodation. Another thing that you should keep in mind while choosing your stay is the safety that the resort management offers.

Local Transport

If you are going to be using local transport for the better part of your trip, we suggest researching about trusted cab companies before booking your trip. This will ensure that you don’t overspend on local transport and don’t get fooled by local cab drivers.

Guided tours

Guided tours are another thing that you should be careful about when exploring Bali. Most of the tours are paid and even if the local operator says it’s free, they will eventually ask for a donation. We also recommend opting for guided tours wherever possible since the tours are enriching and will add a lot to your trip.

Bali for women travellers

Bali is a beautiful place to explore for women travellers. For the most part, you don’t have to worry about anything besides keeping your belongings close. We also suggest informing your hotel in advance so that they are aware of your travel plans. If you are exploring Kuta, it’s best to take a cab back to your hotel instead of walking the distance. Another thing that women travellers should take care of is booking their hotel close to the city.

Safety on the beach

Most beaches in Bali are safe but it’s best to keep a few precautions in mind. You should choose only the most trusted travel operators to book your water-sports packages. Whether you are interested in parasailing, a boat ride or simply a massage on the beach, it’s best to book with a trusted operator. Another thing that you should keep in mind is–bargaining. Bargaining in Bali is quite common and ensures that you are able to grab good deals at most places including street shops and transport.

Villa security

Most villas in Bali are open from all sides which means that you need to be more careful about your safety. It’s best to lock your villa at night and keep the gates locked during the day as well. We also recommend not keeping your expensive belongings in the villa when you are stepping out. Most villas ensure that you have staff for 24 hours but in case your villa doesn’t provide round-the-clock safety, we suggest staying vigilant.
