What to pack?

August 11, 2025

I often get questions from my guests. What is worth bringing and what is not. Still, everyone comes with two large suitcases. In this post I will give a little help to those who are preparing for Bali.

What kind of dress should we bring?

I recommend thin dresses, shirts, blouses, shorts and long pants. It is important that it is made of a material that dries quickly. Due to the humid, hot air, it is possible to sweat very quickly, so it is important to dry quickly what we have on us. This also plays an important role in the fact that if you get into the air-conditioned car in wet clothes, you are almost guaranteed to catch a cold, which is perhaps even more difficult to endure here in the tropics, plus runny nose, weakness, sore throat, will put its stamp on the entire vacation.

By the way, you don't have to bring a lot of clothes, as the laundries in Bali are very cheap, so one day you return the clothes, the next day freshly washed, wrapped, and with a floral scent.

‍

Towel! Shall we bring VS don't bring?

It is not necessary to bring towels, as in each hotel they give one that you can use in the room and usually add another to the pool. So it is unnecessary to carry this from home. You can bring a light thin shawl, or you can buy it here and even spread it under yourself while sunbathing on the beach.

‍

Mosquito repellent?! Yes or no?

NO. Asian mosquitoes, mosquito repellents available at home, do not really react, so it is worth buying the otherwise very cheap mosquito repellent spray here, which you can get at any store.

‍

How much money do we bring?

The question is common. And it is very difficult to answer it, because everyone has different needs. I usually suggest replacing the Wise card, which can save a lot of money. After all, in many places it is already possible to pay with a Bali card, and using the Wise card you can always transfer just as much from your forint/euro pocket to the Indonesian rupiah pocket as you need, so you don't fall for back and forth exchanges.

If you travel a lot, it will be your best friend, I GUARANTEE that.

In the pharmacy in Bali, they can give medicine for almost any problem.

Do we bring medicine from home or are they good here?

It is not worth leaving home if you just do not have a specific allergy for which a specific type of medicine is a solution. In pharmacies in Bali, they can give medicine for almost any problem, in fact, they usually ask what medicine you take for similar complaints in Europe and try to give such content. In Bali, you can also buy antibiotics without a prescription, in exchange for some surcharge. So, if you get sick and want to quickly get over it, then a course of antibiotics will help you not to spend your vacation in bed.
