Looking for the best places to stay in Bali? Here’s a complete breakdown of the different areas, including our recommended hotels.

A stunning archipelago composed of a vast array of about 17,000 islands, Indonesia is a perfect getaway for nature enthusiasts and outdoor lovers. Known for its many volcanoes, lush jungles with elephants, tigers, and Komodo dragons to name a few, this island archipelago offers diverse scenery that everyone can enjoy.

Relax in one of their many stunning beaches or adventure and traverse up mountains and volcanoes — whatever it is, soak up the experience and enjoy everything that this wonderful country has to offer.

Best Places to Stay in Indonesia

The prices of accommodation in Indonesia are very affordable. Apart from Thailand, it is probably one of the countries in Asia where you can get an entire villa (with a pool) for around $50 a night. The value for money here is pretty ridiculous!

In lesser-known areas in Java and Sumatra, expect to pay around $8 to $10 a night for a private room in a local guesthouse, good for two people. Air-conditioned rooms run from anything from $15 to $20 a night for a private room. Places like Bali are naturally a bit more expensive but finding cheap places to stay is totally doable.

Listed below are our personal recommendations on where to stay in Indonesia.

Where to Stay in Canggu

A surfers haven, Canggu is a chic, hip little town in the south of Bali. It draws in a unique crowd who’s seeking to bask on the shores, eat at the trendy restaurants, and spend sunsets at the beach clubs overlooking the ocean.

Here, there are lots of little boutiques and beachy eateries with a banging nightlife scene centered around the beach. The main vein of Canggu is Batu Bolong, but there are several streets that run perpendicular to this one with the same sorts of small shops and cafes.

While Canggu largely caters to tourists, it’s still managed to retain some of its local charm, with lush green rice paddies minutes from the most popular breakfast spots.

You’ll find lots of little guesthouses in Canggu where you can get to know the local side of things. Or, on the other hand, rent an entire villa to spread out in for your stay.

Check out these amazing places to stay in Canggu, Bali.

Wina Echo Beach Guest House



Room Type: Superior Double | Quadruple Room

The Wina Echo Beach Guest House is my absolute favorite place to stay in Canggu. I originally booked for two nights but adored it so much that I ended up staying for nearly a month! It’s located at the top of Batu Bolong, one of Canggu’s main drags, but in a quieter part surrounded by lots of cafes.

Wina Echo has amazing private rooms for budget prices, with large beds, private bathrooms, and air conditioning. They’re super simple but do the trick if you’re looking for your own space. They also have a large quadruple room with four beds, if you’re traveling with friends and looking for somewhere cheap to stay.

The best part about Wina Echo is the family who runs it. They’re absolutely delightful and will make you feel right at home during your stay. I can’t recommend it enough!
