If Bali’s been on your radar — whether for a holiday, a long stay, or a potential property investment — the first question most people ask is: how easy is it to get there from the UK?
The good news is that travelling from the UK to Bali has become increasingly straightforward, thanks to efficient airline connections, simplified entry rules, and excellent infrastructure once you arrive.
While there are no direct flights just yet, Bali is one of the most well-connected islands in Southeast Asia — and getting there from London, Manchester, or Edinburgh is easier than ever.
All flights from the UK to Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) involve at least one stop — usually via the Middle East or a major Asian hub.
Here are the most popular and reliable routes:
Doha via Qatar Airways
London → Doha → Bali (typically 17–20 hours total travel time)
Dubai via Emirates
London → Dubai → Bali (around 18–21 hours, excellent service and smooth transfer)
Singapore via Singapore Airlines
London → Singapore → Bali (about 17–19 hours and ideal for breaking up the trip with a Singapore stopover)
Kuala Lumpur via Malaysia Airlines
London → Kuala Lumpur → Bali (a budget-friendly option with easy onward flights)
Bangkok via Thai Airways
London → Bangkok → Bali (another convenient route, especially if you plan to explore Thailand too)
✈️ Total travel time: typically between 17 and 24 hours, depending on the length of your layover.
For UK travellers, the entry process is simple and friendly:
Visa on Arrival (VOA) is available for 30 days (extendable once).
Cost: 500,000 IDR (around £25), payable by card or cash at the airport.
Requirements: a passport valid for at least six months and proof of onward or return travel.
Tourist Levy: 150,000 IDR (about £7.50), payable online or upon arrival to support local sustainability projects.
New All-Indonesia App: a single digital declaration form (customs, immigration, health) — complete it online before flying for faster processing.
In short, entry is straightforward — and getting easier with digital systems now streamlining the arrival process.
Book early: Bali is in high demand year-round, and fares rise fast.
Avoid tight layovers: give yourself at least 90–120 minutes between flights.
Break up the journey: consider an overnight stop in Dubai, Doha, or Singapore.
Arrange your e-VOA or app form in advance to skip long queues.
Check your airport transfer in advance — Bali’s traffic can be unpredictable during peak hours.
Landing in Bali feels like stepping into a tropical postcard. From the airport, you’re just minutes away from Seminyak’s beachfront villas, Canggu’s surf cafés, or the cultural heart of Ubud.
Infrastructure is strong, SIM cards and taxis are easy to find, and digital nomad hubs like Canggu and Uluwatu have reliable Wi-Fi, co-working spaces, and excellent international dining.
It’s not just a holiday destination — many visitors are now choosing to stay longer, invest in villas, or even relocate full-time thanks to new visa programs for investors and digital professionals.
Bali’s property market has seen incredible growth, especially in the south — Uluwatu, Bingin, Canggu, and Ubud are now key hotspots for boutique resorts and private villas.
With high ROI potential (8–12% on short-term rentals), fractional ownership options, and strong long-term tourism demand, it’s easy to see why global investors are turning to Bali.
