Exclusive Bali Travel outlines its comprehensive booking terms and conditions, effective 22 May 2026, to ensure transparency and clarity for all clients. These policies govern all aspects of reservations, from initial deposit to final payment, for luxury experiences typically ranging from USD 2,500 for a 7-day entry-luxury stay to over USD 7,000 for extended mid-luxury trips. We cater to discerning travelers, including a significant proportion from Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom, who seek exclusive private villas, bespoke tours, and curated wellness retreats across Bali.

Booking Confirmation and Deposit Structure

A booking is confirmed upon receipt of a non-refundable deposit, signaling the client’s acceptance of these terms. For most luxury packages, a 30% deposit of the total trip cost is required within seven days of receiving the initial itinerary and quotation. This deposit secures private villa arrangements, exclusive tour slots, and specialized services like private chefs or yacht charters, which often require advance commitment from local partners. The remaining balance, constituting 70% of the total cost, is due no later than 60 days prior to the scheduled arrival date in Bali. Bookings made within 60 days of arrival require full payment at the time of confirmation. Failure to meet these payment deadlines may result in the automatic cancellation of the reservation without further notice, and any deposits paid may be forfeited. Clients are encouraged to review their pricing details thoroughly before confirming.

Payment Methods and Currency

Exclusive Bali Travel accepts payments primarily via bank transfer and major credit cards, including Visa and MasterCard. All transactions are processed in United States Dollars (USD), reflecting the predominant currency for international luxury travel services in 2026. Clients opting to pay by credit card will incur a 3% processing fee, which is added to the total amount due. This fee covers charges levied by financial institutions for secure online transactions. Bank transfers, while not subject to a processing fee from Exclusive Bali Travel, may incur charges from the client’s originating bank or intermediary banks; clients are responsible for these external fees. Payment details, including bank account information for transfers, are provided on the official invoice. We recommend initiating payments promptly to avoid any delays in securing your exclusive Bali arrangements, particularly for high-demand services like private helicopter tours or luxury family holidays with nanny service, often booked by families from Germany or Singapore/Hong Kong.

Cancellation Policy and Refunds

Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to Exclusive Bali Travel. The effective date of cancellation is the date the written notification is received. Given the bespoke nature of our luxury services, the following cancellation fees apply: For cancellations received 91 days or more prior to arrival, the initial 30% deposit is forfeited. If a cancellation occurs between 61 and 90 days before arrival, 50% of the total trip cost will be forfeited. Cancellations made 60 days or less prior to arrival will result in a 100% forfeiture of the total trip cost. This policy accounts for non-recoverable costs associated with securing exclusive villas, private guides, and other high-end services. No refunds are issued for unused services, early departures, or no-shows. We advise all clients, especially those planning all-inclusive luxury Bali honeymoons or wellness retreats, to consult our about page for our service commitment and consider comprehensive travel insurance to mitigate potential losses from unforeseen cancellations.

Amendments to Bookings

Requests for amendments to confirmed bookings, such as changes to dates, duration of stay, or specific services, must be submitted in writing. All amendments are subject to availability and may incur an administration fee of USD 150 per change, in addition to any increased costs from suppliers. Changes requested 60 days or more prior to arrival will be accommodated where possible, with any price adjustments communicated to the client. Amendments requested within 60 days of arrival are subject to the discretion of Exclusive Bali Travel and our partners; significant changes at this late stage may be treated as a cancellation and re-booking, subject to the cancellation policy outlined above. For example, altering a confirmed “exclusive bali private villa with chef” booking close to arrival may not be feasible due to high demand. We strive to be flexible, particularly for clients from countries like the US who often seek tailored “bali luxury private tour packages,” but significant modifications can impact pre-arranged exclusive services.

Force Majeure and Unforeseen Circumstances

Exclusive Bali Travel is not liable for any failure to perform its obligations if such failure is caused by an event of force majeure. This includes, but is not limited to, acts of God (e.g., volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis common in the Indonesian archipelago), war, civil unrest, terrorist activities, government actions, epidemics, pandemics (such as those experienced globally, impacting travel into 2026), travel restrictions, or other events beyond our reasonable control. In such circumstances, Exclusive Bali Travel will endeavor to offer alternative arrangements or a travel credit for future use, subject to the policies of our suppliers. Refunds, if applicable, will be processed in accordance with the recovery of funds from suppliers, which may take an extended period. Clients are strongly advised to secure comprehensive travel insurance that includes coverage for force majeure events. For current travel advisories and official information regarding Indonesia, clients can consult resources such as Indonesia.Travel or the official communications from Kemenparekraf.go.id (Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy).
