Hi All,
I'm planning to visit Bali for a month around August. Is there a starters guide somewhere, or some resource that you found super useful in making your decisions? (where to stay, how to book, what to do online vs what to do in place, how to stay safe etc.)

rishabhp 5mo

Hey visiting on Friday for 10 days. What are must things to know ?

Right now primarily thinking about what sim to get (if possible before hand - eSIM) and what hostel/place to stay at.

I have 2 days individually and then a joining a group for the rest of the stay.

rishabhp 5mo

eSIM recco?

cultofmetatron 5mo

jreynolds999 5mo

airalo is good but u can just get an esim at a telkomsel- ur gonna need to bring ur passport to register ur imei but its solid. depends on how long ur staying

rishabhp 5mo

10-11 days.

Airalo is good in all the islands too?

rishabhp 5mo

Should I purchase it before visit, at the airport or outside?

I’m ok doing it beforehand. Just need to know where from you recommend? If not too expensive

shazam 4mo

What’re some good cowork spaces in Ubud?

shazam 4mo

Seems like Ubud is more of a meditation area then working 😅

chrisrdodd 4mo

Yep! haha Hubud used to be so good but it's closed now

atticus 4mo

Is Bali still recommened to go for first timer?

limextapa 4mo

Lots of people who dislike it, lots of people who love it. I fall into the former category. Go and check out yourself, see various parts of the island and then come to your own conclusions…

tristant 4mo

Just stay out of canngu

gotzonza 4mo

Hey! I’m planning a 1 month stay in seseh / pererenan (open to recommendations) with a friend. Hard work, gym and fun. Where we can find a vila? Any website? Or just airbnb?

bohdandrozdov 3mo

Hey everyone! Has anyone had experience re-entering Indonesia after a longer stay?

My current plan is:

- Lombok: November 1–December 1, 2026
- Extend my stay and spend another 1–2 weeks in Bali
- Leave Indonesia in mid-December
- Return around May 2027 for another one-month stay

Assuming I have the correct visa, valid onward ticket, accommodation, enough funds, and no overstay, is there any meaningful risk of being denied entry after roughly five months outside Indonesia?

chrisrdodd 3mo

I don't think so

chrisrdodd 3mo

Never heard anyone have an issue with that

bohdandrozdov 3mo

thank you!

kingofknowwhere 3mo

what's the best place to get usd converted to IDR. The rates on roadside stores are fairly inconsistent and bad

benguez 2mo

Hey everyone! Quick question:

Has anyone here ever done a small founder/nomad house?

I’m thinking about spending 2–3 months in a villa near a surf beach (considering Uluwatu) with 3–4 founders or creators. The goal would just be to build, surf, train and keep each other accountable.

Anyone done this? If anyone interested let me know

Bit about me; did an exit and now working on a B2c consumer app + grow to 1M followers on socials

limextapa 2mo

Yes, but it only works if you “interview “ and select your members…

ivanre 2mo

Hello, are there people who live here in Bali on this group? What I miss from Bali is about events, type meetup.com. Mostly about meetup for talk (like ia meetup, business meet up, etc..) or kind of do some road trip. Is there anything about that in Bali?

ivanre 2mo

I already go to gym and play padel. So not interested about sports meet up

chrisrdodd 2mo

I live in Bali

chrisrdodd 2mo

You know there's a meetup feature on Nomad List? You can always create one yourself

dashaa 2mo

check out nomeo io as well

dashaa 2mo

some meetups were temporary shut down because it is not clear whether non-locals are allowed to organize meetups 🤷‍♀️

ivanre 2mo

Yes, I check but I can't see any in bali.

ivanre 2mo

Nice, I check and this is what I was looking for.

ivanre 2mo

Thank you both for answer

dashaa 2mo

you can organize one ☝️

bekacynthia 2mo

Hey guys! My name is Rebbeka and I'm from Brazil. Is it possible to live in Bali with US$1400 a month?

carloshelder 2mo

Check Terra Business

(it's an NGO to help entrepreneurs to be rich, so all it's free, and I'm amaze for the quality of everything they do)

emrahkurt 2mo

Hi!
For my doctoral dissertation, I would like to conduct interviews via Zoom about digital nomads. The interviews will be voice-only and will consist of several questions on the topic. Would anyone be willing to participate and help me with my research?

dviolite 2mo

Hi All,
I'm trying to figure out where to stay in Bali - which areas have a good Indie Hackers scene?

carloshelder 2mo

Changgu is a good place to start for entrepreneur vibe. Do you need to be underground? 😅

dviolite 2mo

No not required underground. Changgu I've heard is too crowded though, and I'm not really looking for the party vibe.

unfoundbox 2mo

i prefer ubud over canggu for deep work in cafes in jungle and the airbnbs/rents are also better

unfoundbox 2mo

Cafe Pomegranate - I'd gatekeep it i could lol

axel 2mo

Sadly Pomegranate closed down.

chrisrdodd 2mo

No way! What happened?

makskovalko 2mo

Hello everyone 👋
Maxim here, digital nomad, based in Bali (Canggu). Spent years building mobile apps and SaaS products for other companies, now doing my own iOS apps.
The Bali routine helps more than I expected: surf or gym in the morning, work in the afternoon, repeat. Hard to burn out on that.
Glad to be here! Always up for a coffee in Canggu ☕

philalive 2mo

Hey! I’m landing in Canggu on August 26 and staying for the next three months. Any content creators around?

I’m shutting down my agency to go all in on content, travel, and filmmaking, so I’d love to meet people on a similar path. First Bintang (or protein shake) is on me 🍻

philalive 2mo

Damn, tough crowd. Wasn’t this supposed to be the biggest nomads.com group around here? 😅

chrisrdodd 2mo

Hi Phil. The issue with Bali is that it's now saturated with nomads. Have you been here before? If not, you will be surprised. Being a DN here is not niche, it's the norm.

I think that's why you didn't get a response. You asked if there are any content creators around. For those that are here, we know that there are a ton of them.

I'd recommend you just walk into a coworking space, cafe or similar establishment and just start talking to people. Basically everyone here is working online.

Best IMO is Bwork but you can try Tribal, Omni, etc

yashbindal 1mo

Anyone in ulluwatu now?

asdasd21r 1mo

Hey guys! 👋 My girlfriend and I are planning to move to Bali for about 4 months. Does anyone have recommendations for where to find a good villa for a long-term rental?

Would really appreciate any trusted websites, agents, or contacts you’ve personally used. Thanks!

https://livuma.com/
Check this out :)

nick001 1mo

Agoda also has better deals than Airbnb. Not sure about long term, though

asdasd21r 1mo

Thanks cjljoaftolmb ! I will check them out

vinayprasadd 1mo

Hey all,
I'm travelling from Ireland to Bali. I'm trying out the nomad lifestyle to figure out whether it's something I'd like to do long term.
I'm starting with Bali. The first week will probably be a holiday, and for the following few weeks I plan to work, most likely from Ubud.
Any suggestions would be great!

irlmaxxer 1mo

Hey all, in Bali 26th Sept - 18th Oct, just starting out on the digital nomad journey whilst juggling a 9-5 for now. Keen to meet up with likeminded peeps.

I’ll be building products on all things IRL and community ⚡️

manu93 1mo

Hi! Roughly how much does it cost to live in Canggu per month these days? I'm thinking of staying for a few months and would love to know what people are actually spending, including accommodation, food, scooter, gym, etc. Thanks!

aurrou 1mo

What colivings / homestay do you recommend nowadays ?

I’d like a quieter area of the island (if it still exist 😅), community and good internet (video editor)

Thank you!

nicholasbardy 1mo

Hey. Just landed a eek or so ago in uluwatu. Looking for some friends to hike/surf/cowork with. AI Research traveling and working on my own fluid sim business

nicholasbardy 1mo

aurrou 29d

Hey, which coworking do you recommend in Ubud ? I’m looking for fast internet and social

chrisrdodd 28d

It's lacking in Ubud unfortunately

fabios 27d

Can someone please tell me where to stay in Bali?

Does somebody has a recommendation?

Uluwatu / canggu?

georges123 27d

Uluwatu or Balian if you like surfing and nice beaches, Canggu if you like traffic jams, traffic accidents, pollution, noise and beach clubs built on sea turtle nesting grounds. Munggu or more North if you want to see a glimpse of what Canggu must have heen like 30 years ago.

Central Bali village far away from Ubud if you actually want to experience Bali and Indonesian people.

fabios 27d

😃 traffic accidents

fabios 27d

its more about connect with more nomads and gym's , im not a big fan of beach clubs

fabios 27d

thank you

chrisrdodd 25d

lol. Someone is negative about Canggu 👀

georges123 25d

What, people actually like Canggu?!

leonardo7 24d

Landing in Bali on the 24th. I was thinking of staying in Canggu as I feel it's still the best place to meet many people, which is what I look for

leonardo7 24d

Do you agree guys?

chrisrdodd 24d

I agree but I'm sure G Man has other ideas haha

emanuelgarza 24d

hi are any of u guys living in pererenan u know if its super noisy?

aurrou 24d

I’m coming in 2 days too and picked Canggu for the same reason. But I only booked a few nights so I can escape to Ubud if needed 😁

rogosak 24d

Any popular area name on the internet is busy

milankozak 24d

Canggu traffic is an absoulute nightmare but it's still the main digital nomad hub in Bali, Ubud is also good if that's your vibe but other areas like Uluwatu are more spread out

leonardo7 22d

Actually guys today I landed in Canggu and the traffic IS actually that bad.

The overall vibe and mood is exceptional. Really look forward to enjoying my 3 weeks in Bali.

I’d like to make a few friends, reply if you also would :)

I’m a full time educational content creator, I like tech and entrepreneurship.

irlmaxxer 22d

I’m about 3 weeks from the 26th. Happy to hang out - padel, drinks, road trips. 👍

cerenkaya 22d

Hi I stayed in both Cangu and Pererenan, I would prefer Pererenan. Its near the ocean. There is a nice coliving place Tribal, Wrong gym, The Path yoga center also a padel place there. Very nice place to stay

chester1990 18d

Hi everyone, I am planning to visit Bali, seeking for the remote job opportunity. Does anyone know about the popular local digital nomad community in Bali that I can visit? Looking forward to your recommendations.
