If you’re planning to make your revenge travel plans happen and treat yourself to a well-deserved holiday in Bali but want to stick to a budget, we’ve prepared a list of affordable Airbnbs where you can stay:

Kishi-Kishi Villa

Location: Gianyar, Bali

Nestled on the edge of the Indian Ocean, the Kishi-Kishi Villa offers four well-appointed rooms that have authentic Balinese décor, a private bathroom with a bathtub, and an outdoor shower. When you want to get some sun, head to the outdoors where a garden setting awaits; coconut trees, tropical plants, and Balinese statues make the space look more picture-worthy.

Mandurah Stay

Location: Kecamatan Kuta Utara, Bali

Canggu is a popular area among digital nomads, which is perfect if you’re visiting Bali for work and play. You’ll get a private room at Mandurah Stay, but its common areas are shared with other guests.

Kubu Tropis

Location: Kecamatan Ubud, Bali

If you’re a fan of Julia Roberts’ 2010 movie Eat, Pray, Love, Ubud is probably one of the areas you plan on visiting in Bali. Kubu Tropis is nestled right in the heart of Ubud, but it’s still tucked in a hidden area – you’ll find this modern space right across a rice field. Each air-conditioned room is fitted with rustic wood and rattan furnishings. You’ll also get a pool and garden view. Some nearby attractions and establishments include the famous Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, Ubud’s Palace, and Ubud’s Market.

Rates start at P2,052 per night. Book here.

Bukit Vista

Location: Kecamatan Kintamani, Bali

Sure, there are plenty of places to try glamping in the Philippines, but doing it in another country is an unforgettable experience. This glamping dome overlooks Batur Mountain, which is an ideal location if you wish to hike; it’s just 20 minutes away from the summit location! Aside from the relaxing nature views and setting, the glamping spot offers a cozy double bed, a private nature bathroom, and a shared kitchen. The dome is not air-conditioned; the owner suggests staying outdoors past 8 AM.

Rates start at P1,640 per night. Book here.

Rescape Ubud

Location: Ubud, Bali

If you’re looking for a hideaway without being too far from the hubbub of central Ubud, Rescape is the villa that might be for you. Its name is a combination of “retreat” and “escape”, which is pretty much what you’ll experience when you book a stay in this bamboo villa. Surrounded by a verdant garden, the villa still offers a feel of the outdoors as its walls are made of glass. The space is ideal for couples. Inside, you’ll find a canopy bed on the ground floor and a hidden lounge in the loft. This space also leads to an extended hammock!

Rates start at P2,851 per night. Book your stay here.

D Khaylas

Location: Kintamani, Bali

If you wish to explore Bali’s mountains and lakes, include Kintamani in your itinerary. D Khaylas is a stay nestled right on the shores of Lake Batur where you can enjoy panoramic nature views and catch a beautiful sunrise early in the morning. Each wooden house has two bedrooms that can accommodate two guests, which is ideal for group travelers and families!

Song Broek Jungle Resort

Location: Gianyar, Bali

Looking into experiencing what it’s like to stay in the middle of a jungle in Bali? Song Broek Jungle Resort has private rooms for tourists looking for a forest hideaway. They’re located in the heart of Payangan, which is 20 minutes away from Ubud – a side trip worth adding to your itinerary. Each private room is completely made of wood: from the floors to the ceilings; the owners wanted a more sustainable building material for their accommodations. The resort also has a shared pool where you can enjoy the jungle view more.

Rates start at P1,679 per night. Book here.

Guesthouse in Surya Hills

Location: Nusapenida, Bali

At Surya Hills, you’ll get to fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves from the distant sea and wake up to a view of glistening waters. This guesthouse is owned by a local family who can also assist you with sightseeing, tours, and transportation. You’ll be staying in a bungalow with a private balcony where you can enjoy your complimentary breakfast. If you wish to swim, the beach is just a 10-minute walk away.

Rates start at P2,052 per night. Book here.
