"I don't have enough money" is a common excuse that stops people from traveling to their dream destinations. But between then and now, having the internet, having access to low-cost airlines, and having enough motivation, a low-budget trip can be done.
Since there is an ongoing sale in Air Asia, Cebu Pacific, and Philippine Airlines for flights from Manila to Bali, we will share how to enjoy a holiday in the Island of the Gods for under PHP8,570. Reading this might make you think, "Are they having a laugh?" or "Is it really possible?". But the thing is, it's doable. Here's how we made it happen in a 4D3N itinerary.
Flights
Thanks to the emergence of low-cost carriers, we are now able to book economy seats at very affordable rates all-year-round. Of course, there's always the option to wait for seat sales to book the lowest possible fare. That's exactly what we did! We booked our Bali flights through the GetGo One For Juan 10 Point Sale. We got our round trip flight for only 20 points and PHP1,573.14 in taxes and fees per person.
Airfare Cost: PHP1,573.14 per person
Accommodation
Because of its wide variety of accommodation options, it's easy to travel Bali on a budget, and surprisingly, it can be cheaper than a lot of other Southeast Asian destinations.
Get a room at Dewa Bharata Bungalows Legian located just a few steps from Legian Street, the main road that runs from Kuta to Seminyak. The hotel's Superior Room is big enough for two guests. It features traditional Balinese decorative elements and garden view terraces. Reservations can be done via the hotel's website, via online travel agencies like Agoda.com and Booking.com, and even through Airbnb. Since the rooms are offered at lower rates plus a discount coupon, we decided to book through Airbnb. With free breakfast and WiFi access, we only paid a total of PHP475 nett per night.

Accommodation Cost: PHP712.50 total per person
Food
Whatever your preference is for food and whatever budget you have, you will certainly find it in Bali. Food prices here are generally cheaper than those in Singapore or Malaysia.
