How much does a 2-week trip to Bali cost? On a tight budget, figure on roughly ₽170,000 for two people, flights from Moscow included, staying in a guesthouse or budget villa and eating at warungs. On a comfortable budget, it's more like ₽291,000 upwards for two, with a pool villa, café meals instead of warungs and a few paid excursions. Below we break the trip down by category — flights, visa, accommodation, food, local transport — and pull it all together in a table. For a full overview of the island, visas and money, see our complete Bali guide, and to compare areas and dates, start with the Bali destination page on YuSMP Travel.
Flights: what to budget
Flights are the single biggest line in a Bali budget, and noticeably pricier than to Thailand or Vietnam: there are few direct routes from Russia, and the distance is greater. According to Aeroflot, the direct SU296 service from Moscow (Sheremetyevo) to Denpasar flies on an Airbus A350 three times a week and takes around 12 hours 25 minutes; check current schedules and fares on aeroflot.ru before booking. If there's no direct flight on your dates, or the fare is too high, a connection via the UAE, Qatar or Singapore can work out cheaper, though the journey takes considerably longer.
According to publicly available aggregator data for November 2026, a round-trip ticket from Moscow for one person runs roughly ₽55,000–75,000 in the low season and ₽90,000–140,000 in the high season (July–August and New Year dates). For two people, that's anywhere from about ₽110,000 in low season to around ₽280,000 at the busiest times. To compare carriers and routes, start with the airlines catalogue on YuSMP Travel.
Visa and other compulsory costs
Russian travellers need a visa on arrival for Bali — a VOA, or its electronic equivalent, the e-VOA. It's valid for 30 days and costs, as a guide for October 2026, around IDR 500,000 (roughly ₽2,700–3,000 at the exchange rate of that period — check the exact rouble figure on the day you buy it). A 30-day extension costs about the same and can be arranged in advance at evisa.imigrasi.go.id or on arrival at Ngurah Rai airport. For a detailed breakdown of the rules, extensions and declarations, see Bali visa rules for Russian travellers. A single 30-day visa is comfortably enough for a two-week trip.
The other compulsory line is travel medical insurance. For 14 days, a basic policy typically costs ₽2,000–5,000 per person, so ₽4,000–10,000 for two; for what a policy should actually cover and how much coverage to look for, see our guide to travel insurance. Together, the visa and insurance for two people over 14 days usually come to ₽9,000–14,000 on a tight budget and ₽14,000–20,000 with broader cover.
Accommodation: from guesthouse to villa
Accommodation in Bali covers every budget. As a rough guide for two people per night (based on aggregator and blogger data, November 2026): a guesthouse or hostel with a private room runs ₽1,500–3,000; a 3–4★ hotel runs ₽4,000–8,000; a villa with a pool starts around ₽10,000–30,000 and climbs higher still, especially in Seminyak and Canggu during high season. Comparable places in Ubud or Denpasar are usually cheaper than along the coast.
Over 14 nights, that works out to roughly ₽21,000–42,000 on a tight budget and ₽56,000–112,000 for something more comfortable. Browse available dates and areas in the hotels section on YuSMP Travel.
Food and drink
Food in Bali is one of the easiest places to save, as long as you're not stuck eating at tourist restaurants. A dish at a warung (a local eatery) starts at IDR 15,000–25,000 (roughly ₽80–130). Dinner for two at a mid-range café runs IDR 150,000–250,000 (roughly ₽800–1,300). Restaurants and beach clubs cost noticeably more — a single evening there can easily cost more than several days of eating at warungs.
For two people over 14 days, budget ₽18,000–26,000 on the tight end — mostly warungs and food stalls with the odd café visit — and ₽32,000–48,000 if you're eating at mid-range cafés and restaurants more regularly.
Getting around locally
The main way to get around the island is scooter rental: expect IDR 70,000–90,000 per day, with the daily rate dropping noticeably if you rent by the month. Taxis and Grab are also handy for getting around towns and between areas — the fare in the app is fixed upfront, so there's no haggling over a meter. Over 14 days, that comes to ₽6,000–10,000 for two on a tight budget, rising to ₽14,000–22,000 if you lean more on taxis and transfers between areas rather than a scooter.
One thing worth planning for: Mir cards aren't accepted in Bali, either at ATMs or via QRIS. You'll need cash rupiah or a foreign Visa/Mastercard issued outside the sanctioned circuit. For how to prepare to pay on the ground, see How to pay in Bali.

How to save money without losing comfort
A few practical steps that noticeably cut the overall cost without turning the trip into an exercise in deprivation:
- Factor in the rainy season when choosing dates — low-season flights and accommodation are 30–40% cheaper, but part of November–March falls within the rains; see our guide on when to go to Bali.
- Book flights and accommodation 2–3 months ahead — the cheapest seats on direct flights get snapped up fast.
- Eat at warungs rather than tourist restaurants — the difference adds up fast over two weeks.
- Stay in Ubud or Denpasar rather than Seminyak — accommodation there is noticeably cheaper for a comparable standard.
- Compare areas before booking, so you don't overpay for a location that doesn't suit how you want to spend the trip — see Bali for first-timers: the areas worth flying for.
