All inclusive in Indonesia from Almaty: prices

All inclusive holidays in Indonesia are easiest to plan from April to October: this is the dry season, when rains are short and the sea is calm. You will have to fly from Almaty with one or two connections; the journey takes from fifteen to twenty-five hours. Choose between beachfront Nusa Dua, noisy Kuta and cultural Ubud — and book in advance.

When is the best time to plan a trip on an all inclusive basis?

The choice of month determines how much time you will spend by the water and how much you will pay for your holiday. Both the climate and the holiday calendar matter here.

Dry season and rainy season: what to choose

The most comfortable all inclusive holiday in Indonesia comes together from April to October. The rainy season across most of the archipelago lasts from November to March, but this does not mean your vacation will be ruined. Usually the downpours come in the afternoon and last an hour or an hour and a half, while the morning stays clear. In Bali, the peak of the dry season falls in July and August, when there is almost no rain. The wet season has its advantages: hotels in Nusa Dua and Kuta become noticeably cheaper, and the greenery and waterfalls look brighter. If you are going for the beaches and diving, choose the dry months. If your goal is Ubud, the rice terraces and temples, the rains hardly get in the way. Prolonged downpours are rare, but an umbrella and a raincoat in your suitcase will not be out of place.

High season and holidays: when prices are higher

The most expensive months in Bali are July, August and the New Year holidays. During this time, Europeans come to the island for their summer holidays, and tourists from all over the world are added around New Year. Prices for accommodation in Nusa Dua and Kuta rise noticeably in high season, and it is worth booking several months in advance. Indonesian holidays also affect occupancy: on national celebration days, local families go on holiday, and there are fewer available rooms. The shoulder season — May, June, September and October — offers mild weather and moderate prices. This is the best window for those who want balance. When planning your trip, check the calendar of holidays and school breaks.

How to get there from Almaty and prepare documents?

The journey from Almaty to the islands takes almost a day, so the route and paperwork should be thought through in advance. Below is what really affects your preparations.

Routes with connections and travel time

There are no direct flights from Almaty to Denpasar; the flight is built with one or two connections. Convenient connecting hubs are Dubai, Doha, Istanbul and Kuala Lumpur. The total travel time, including waiting, ranges from fifteen to twenty-five hours. Allow at least three hours for a connection: this will be enough if the first flight is delayed. The time difference with Almaty is 3 hours all year round: Indonesia is on UTC+8, Kazakhstan on UTC+5. In summer the difference changes, and this is worth taking into account when planning your first day. A long flight is easier to endure if you take comfortable clothing and water. Before departure, check the status of Denpasar airport: volcanic ash from eruptions sometimes causes flight cancellations.

Visa, passport and insurance for citizens of Kazakhstan

For citizens of Kazakhstan, visa-free entry to Indonesia is available for up to thirty days, with a one-time extension possible for another thirty days. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from the date of entry, otherwise you will be denied boarding on a flight from Almaty. Medical insurance with coverage from thirty thousand dollars is strongly recommended: medicine in Bali is paid, and evacuation to Singapore or Australia is very expensive. Arrange your policy in advance and keep it on your phone and on paper. Copies of documents will also come in handy. Check all entry details on the official website of the Indonesian migration service before your trip.

What to consider on the spot: money, transport and safety

Daily life on the island differs from what you are used to, and a few rules will save you nerves and money. Let's look at finances and getting around.

Currency, exchange and bank cards

The local currency is the Indonesian rupiah, and it is better to exchange money at official exchange offices and banks. Street outlets with a "favorable" rate often shortchange you or charge a hidden commission. ATMs accept Visa and Mastercard, but withdrawal fees and limits differ. Cash in Bali is still needed: small cafes, markets and scooter drivers do not accept cards. Keep a supply of small notes with you. Tipping is not mandatory but is common: in restaurants, five to ten percent is often already included in the bill as a service charge. Large hotels in Nusa Dua accept cards without problems. Check the rate in your bank's app before exchanging.

Getting around the island and renting transport

Renting a scooter is a popular way to get around, but it requires an international category A license. Without one, you may have problems with the police and your insurance company may refuse to pay out. Taxis and online services operate, but in some areas of Ubud and Kuta there are local restrictions on ordering cars through the app. In such places it is easier to take a car at a stand or arrange with a local driver for the day. The roads on the island are narrow, traffic is left-hand, and traffic jams in Kuta and Denpasar are commonplace. If you are not ready for that pace, order a transfer from your hotel. For longer trips to Ubud, it is convenient to hire a driver for several hours.

Features of holidays at different resorts

The island's resorts differ from one another in pace, infrastructure and prices. The choice of place determines what your vacation will be like.

Beach areas and their infrastructure

Nusa Dua is considered the calmest destination with well-kept beaches and a guarded water area. Kuta lives noisily: here they teach surfing, play music until night and trade in markets. Sanur is chosen by those who want silence and shallow water, safe for children. Ubud stands away from the ocean, but nearby there are waterfalls, temples and rice terraces. Between these points it is easy to move by car, but the road takes from one to two hours. For a long vacation, you can combine two resorts.

Cultural and natural sightseeing tours

A holiday on an all inclusive basis in Indonesia is not limited to the beach: the island offers a rich program. In Ubud it is worth seeing the rice terraces, Saraswati Temple and the monkey forest. From Ubud it is convenient to go to the waterfalls and to coffee plantations. In the south, sunset temples on the cliffs and kecak dances are popular. Volcanic routes begin at night in order to meet the sunrise at the summit. The dress code when visiting temples is strict: covered shoulders and knees, a mandatory sarong, which is usually given at the entrance. Take water and comfortable shoes with you. It is better to book sightseeing tours in advance, especially in high season.

How to prepare for the trip in advance

Health and packing are the part that is better to take care of before departing from Almaty. A few steps will save energy on the spot.

Medical recommendations and vaccinations

Vaccinations against hepatitis A and typhoid fever should be discussed with a doctor in advance, three to four weeks before departure. Vaccination is not mandatory, but it reduces risks, especially when traveling deep into the island. Put together a first aid kit yourself: familiar medicines are hard to find in Bali, and analogues differ in composition. Take remedies for diarrhea, a fever reducer, repellent and bandages. You cannot drink tap water, and it is also better not to take ice from street stalls. The sun on the island is strong, so a cream with high SPF is needed even on cloudy days. For chronic diseases, bring a supply of medicines for the entire duration.

Packing and useful habits during the trip

When packing for Bali, remember about humidity: things dry slowly, so take fabrics that release moisture quickly. Light clothing made of cotton and linen is suitable for the heat, while covered clothing will be useful for temples. Shoes should be comfortable: you cannot walk along rice terraces and volcanic slopes in sandals. Take a socket adapter and a power bank. Keep cash in different places, and copies of documents separately from the originals. Respect local customs: do not raise your voice in temples and do not touch offerings on the ground. A smile and a couple of words in Indonesian win people over.
