Bali is a place to unplug from the noise of the world—but not from what truly matters. Whether it’s receiving your villa check-in details, booking a private driver, or sharing a golden-hour moment with someone you love, staying connected should feel effortless. That’s why we always recommend securing an eSIM before your journey to The Bali Manor Collection.

 

Here’s everything you need to know.

What is an eSIM?

An eSIM—short for embedded SIM—is a digital SIM card you install on your phone before you even board your flight. It allows you to access data and calls in Bali the moment you land—no need to queue at the airport, no plastic cards, and no need to remove your regular SIM.

 

Why Choose an eSIM for Bali?

✧ Instant connectivity – As soon as the wheels touch down, your phone connects. You can notify your villa concierge, check directions, or summon your transfer without delay.

Skip the airport hassle – No more searching for SIM card kiosks or negotiating local data plans after a long flight.

✧ Perfect for short and long stays – Whether you’re visiting for a week or a month, you’ll find flexible, affordable plans tailored to your needs.

✧ Dual SIM freedom – Keep your regular number active while using your Bali eSIM for data. Ideal for staying reachable at home while fully present here.

 

How to Buy an eSIM Before Your Trip

Several trusted providers offer international eSIMs compatible with Indonesia, including:

— Airalo (easy-to-use, app-based setup)
— Holafly (unlimited data options)
— Nomad (flexible pricing and coverage)

Simply visit their website or download their app, select “Indonesia” or “Asia” coverage, choose your data plan (we recommend at least 3–5GB for a week), and follow the installation instructions. Most eSIMs can be activated within minutes.

 

Do You Need an Unlocked Phone?

Yes—your phone must be unlocked and eSIM-compatible. Most recent iPhones and Android models support this technology. If you’re unsure, check with your mobile provider before you travel.

 

Staying Present While Connected

At The Bali Manor Collection, we believe technology should serve your serenity—not interrupt it. An eSIM offers the ideal balance: instant access when you need it, without the disruptions of traditional connectivity. It’s peace of mind wrapped in modern simplicity.

Whether you’re sharing sunrise photos with loved ones, booking a last-minute massage, or simply using maps to navigate your way to a secret beach, your connection becomes part of your flow—not a friction.

 

Final Thoughts: Let Convenience Support Your Escape

Bali invites you to be present. To savor, to breathe, to connect with what’s around you. And sometimes, being fully present means having the right tools in place. With an eSIM, you arrive ready—rooted in the moment, connected with ease, and free to focus on the beauty that surrounds you.
