Description

The currency used in Bali is the same as the rest of the country, the Indonesian Rupiah. It is the only official money on the island and you will see it written with the code IDR or the symbol Rp. Prices are usually written with Rp at the front, and a full stop is used instead of a comma to separate the thousands. So Rp. 20.000 means twenty thousand rupiah. You might also see prices written as Rp. 20K. Cards work fine in hotels, spas, restaurants, and large shops, just don’t count on them everywhere. Digital e-wallets are growing in popularity, especially in touristy areas, but cash remains essential.
