Where to spend a long layover at Bali Airport Domestic Terminal

The short answer: Novotel sells day rooms by the hour, and day-use guests can use the pool. It is a covered 5 to 10 minute walk from either terminal, landside. For a long layover, check the visa rules before you leave the terminal.

Totals are a typical room for one night plus getting to the terminal, for two adults, one way. Prices are the lowest and highest Booking.com rate we sampled across twelve dates in AUD. Hilton Garden Inn shuttle is counted at about AUD 13 (IDR 125,000 per vehicle, up to two people). PassGo is priced per capsule, which sleeps one adult, so two travellers need two. Checked October 2026; your dates may cost more or less.
