There are a few options for transport to your accommodation in Bali- click 'View' at the bottom of this page for more details. Should you wish to use the official airport taxi service, you will need to book your taxi at the official taxi counter (next to the information desk after you walk through the little "Dufry" shopping arcade). Official fixed rates are as follows: Canggu 225,000 IDR Denpasar 130,000 IDR Jimbaran 100,000 IDR Nusa Dua 150,000 IDR Seminyak 110,000 IDR Ubud 300,000 IDR Don't forget to bring or exchange enough Rupiah for the taxi ride and other incidentals. See separate tabs on Transport and Money for more details.

Hotel

Accommodation Options

Our wedding ceremony and reception will be held at Villa Latitude, which is in the Ungasan area atop the limestone cliffs of South Bali. We recommend staying in the nearby Nusa Dua area (15-20min drive), where accommodation options at a variety of price levels are plentiful. Some options we recommend based on both personal experience as well as online reviews are: Nusa Dua Area - Courtyard by Marriott - Hilton - Ritz Carlton -Grand Hyatt - Mercure Uluwatu Area - Banyan Tree - Renaissance -Mulia -Alila -Ayana -Six Senses Uluwatu is another nearby area with plenty of accommodation options, but we feel that Nusa Dua would be more convenient due to its well-planned layout and better connections. There are less hotels available in the Ungasan area near the villa, but many private high-end villas as well as more local-style accommodation available. Other areas (Seminyak/Kuta) are possible, but will be a bit of a drive (45min+).

Travel Note

Transport

There are several options for transportation in Bali: - Taxi - Grab -GoJek -Private Driver Taxis are on the whole still quite cheap and convenient, provided that you first check to see that it is a metered cab and that you bring small bills. By way of example, a 20min ride from Nusa Dua to Villa Latitude should cost approximately IDR60,000. As of May 2018, Uber has been replaced by Grab, a similar ride-sharing app. Grab is cheaper than taxis, allows driver tracking, payment by cash or card, but requires internet connection and is banned in certain areas and hotels. GoJek is a similar ride-sharing app but is cheaper than Grab and allows you to order a ride on a scooter. The app also offers food delivery, groceries, massages and hair/make up services. Finally, a private driver is another option which is especially suited if you have a full day or half day itinerary planned.

Money in Bali

Cash is still king in Bali. Wherever you go you will need it, in low denominations. Although Rp100,000 bills are useful for high-priced items, smaller shops and taxis do not carry large amounts of change. ATMs are everywhere in south Bali. Withdrawals can be made with credit cards and some debit cards on the Maestro and Cirrus networks. We usually use the Citibank Plus Debit Card overseas as it has no international fees for ATM withdrawals or transactions, and the market rates are set by MasterCard and are very competitive. Most major currency can be exchanged in banks, hotels, and authorised money changers in the main tourist areas. Our wedding planner has recommended 'Central Kuta Money Exchange' as a reputable money changer. We usually change enough money in the airport to get us by for a day or two (there is a money changer immediately to your right once you exit immigration/customs, and more changers in the airport offering good rates).
