Important Considerations
Temporary Accommodation:
We recommend booking a temporary hotel or hostel for your first week in Bali. This allows you to acclimate and explore various neighborhoods before committing to a longer-term rental.
Location is Key:
When searching for budget housing, consider how close you want to be to your internship or volunteer project. Areas further from the city center or the beach tend to be more affordable, allowing you to stretch your budget while still enjoying the unique charm of Bali.
Rental Duration:
Generally, longer rental periods result in lower monthly rates. Many landlords offer discounts for extended stays, so be sure to inquire about potential savings if you plan to stay for several months.
Understand Additional Costs:
Remember to factor in extra expenses for utilities such as electricity and water, which may or may not be included in your rent. Clarifying these details upfront will help you budget effectively.
Emergency Contacts:
Ensure you have important contact numbers on hand in case any issues arise with your accommodation. Having support readily available can ease your transition and enhance your overall experience.

Inclusive Meal Plan
At Bali Internships, food is prepared with care, health, and culture in mind. Meals are served Monday to Friday, each morning starting with coffee or tea and a tropical fruit platter of three seasonal fruits. Lunch and dinner come in clean, freshly packed boxes, cooked daily from local ingredients. Participants may choose only lunch, only dinner, or both. We also accommodate dietary preferences and health needs at a different cost.
Meals introduce Indonesian home cooking in a simple and wholesome way; rice, noodles, and vegetables are paired with local proteins and flavors. Eating in Bali is part of the learning experience; we encourage everyone to explore local warungs and taste the culture beyond the meal plan. Balanced meals keep you strong, healthy, and ready for your program. To eat well in Bali is to live well and to respect the place that welcomes you.
