More than 54,000 Bali places Num knows, from warungs in Ubud and Canggu surf cafés to Uluwatu cliff bars and 9,700 hotels and villas.
Indonesia is 17,000 islands and Num currently knows one of them deeply: Bali, with 54,282 places across Badung, Denpasar, Gianyar and Tabanan, which in traveler terms means Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu, Uluwatu and Ubud. Accommodation dominates, with 9,760 hotels, villas and guesthouses, but the eating is broad too: 6,225 restaurants, 2,906 cafés, 571 warungs and street-food spots, and 1,969 spas.
Bali questions are about neighborhood and hour. Ask Num for a warung near your villa in Canggu still serving nasi campur at ten, a café in Ubud with good coffee and a rice-field view, a beach club in Uluwatu you can walk into without a booking, a laundry that returns clothes the same day, or a pharmacy in Seminyak open late. Ask where to watch a kecak dance tonight, or which temple is quiet at dawn. It gives one place, open now, and a way there.

Cards work in hotels, beach clubs and most restaurants, but warungs, markets, motorbike parking and many drivers are cash only. ATMs are everywhere in the south and thinner on the ground in the north and east.
There is no useful public transport. Most visitors use ride-hailing apps such as Gojek and Grab, a hired driver for the day, or a scooter. Traffic between Canggu and Seminyak can take an hour for a few kilometers in the evening.
Anyone entering a temple needs a sarong and a sash around the waist, which the larger temples lend or hire at the gate. Shoulders should be covered, and women are asked not to enter during menstruation.
Once a year, on the Balinese new year in March, the whole island stops for 24 hours: the airport closes, nobody may go outside, lights are kept low. Hotels stay open but you will spend the day inside.
November to March brings heavy afternoon downpours and rougher seas, with January and February the wettest. Roads flood briefly and boats to Nusa Penida and the Gilis are sometimes canceled.
Message Num the way you would message a friend who lives here, in any language. It answers with one real place that fits, open now, and how to get there. It is free for travelers. Businesses list free and pay only when Num completes a booking for them, so nothing here is ranked by who paid.
Yes, generally. The main risks are scooter accidents, which are very common among visitors, strong rip currents at south-coast beaches, and bag snatching from scooters in busy areas. Drink-spiking has been reported in nightlife strips, so watch your glass.
Yes. Message it in any language and it answers in yours, with one place that fits and how to reach it.
No. Use bottled or filtered water for drinking and brushing teeth. Most villas and cafés provide refillable filtered water, and refill stations are common in Ubud and Canggu.
