Quick question for the Indonesia regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there in 2024 and had a great time but I've heard new venues have opened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers
Is Indonesia worth visiting?

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

I was there in February and prices were great value.
Spent about $95/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 8/10 destination.

This matches my experience. Indonesia is one of my favorites.
