Bali has become an attractive option for foreigners, again due to the devaluation of the local currency, Rupiah.
Your money is suddenly going a lot further than it used to, especially in relation to the pound. This is attracting a new, younger tourist back to the island, that for many years was lost to Thailand.
In turn this has produced a lot more variety in the hospitality industry with cool little local run boutique hotels springing up that cater to low-budget travellers. On the flip side, there are wildly luxurious villas peppered across the island, as people are free to indulge in high-end accommodation when they are saving in every other department. When comparing Bali to the likes of other island escapes such as the money haemorrhaging Caribbean, it’s clear Bali can brag best value for money.
