Prices start from: AUD $3957 per week (Escape Haven’s all-inclusive retreats run from Saturday to Friday).

A fab location, just a short stroll from Canguu’s shops and restaurants

Insider tips for Aussies booking Bali in 2025

If you’re planning a Bali trip in 2025 and it’s your first time visiting, here are a few key things to know.

The best time to visit Bali is during the dry season, which typically runs from May to September. During these months, you’ll enjoy plenty of sunshine and calm seas, ideal for swimming and water activities.

Bali has become increasingly popular in recent years, so it’s not as cheap as you might think. For accommodation, expect to pay around AUD $200–250 per night for mid-range stays, while luxury villas typically cost AUD $500–650 or more.

While all-inclusive resorts include all food and drink, the activities and facilities will vary from hotel to hotel. Look for complimentary perks like yoga classes, massages, water sports, or airport transfers.

And a final tip: If you’re planning to visit during the July school holidays, make sure to book 3–6 months in advance to secure the best options!
