DPS Airport Overview

To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down about what to expect during your time at Bali Ngurah Rai International Airport (Code: DPS).

What to Expect

Bali Airport consists of two modern terminals (Domestic and International) that offer plenty of options for dining, shopping and services on both sides of security, including some 24-hour restaurants and convenience stores. WiFi and sporadic mobile device charging outlets can be found in both terminals. Additional comfort can be found through fee-based access to one of the airport’s first-class lounges.

Sleeping in Bali Airport

bali airport guideTraveller reviews have generally focused on the International Terminal, as the former Domestic Terminal closed at night. If you have slept in the new Domestic Terminal, please write a review. Travellers generally report good sleeping conditions in the International Terminal, with the staff viewed as friendly and accommodating to overnight sleepers. The terminal is clean, with an assortment of comfortable airside seating (including recliners and armrest-free couches located in the rest area to the left of the departures entrance) and plenty of quiet nooks conducive to sleeping. Potential sleep hindrances include mosquitos and weak air conditioning that makes for warm and humid waiting times. For uninterrupted sleep, there is a hotel onsite and some other hotels within a quick shuttle ride of the airport. See Airport Hotels in the guide below.

In this guide we may refer to locations as “landside” and “airside”. Landside is the public area of the terminal located in the non-secure zone, before security. Airside is the secure area of the terminal that you must reach by going through security.   

Airport Hours

Bali Ngurah Rai Airport operates 24 hours landside in both terminals.

  • Domestic Terminal (airside): Security and airside access typically close overnight (approximately 2:00 AM – 4:00 AM). Passengers already inside may be asked to move to landside seating until screening reopens.

Rest & Relaxation Zones

There are no designated sleeping rooms, quiet zones, or official rest areas. Both terminals have padded benches and limited reclined seating that travellers use informally.

Security & Safety

Sleeping in any airport can include a certain level of risk, especially when travelling alone. It’s important to take certain precautions to ensure your safety and the security of your valuables. Here are a few tips:

  • Safety First. It’s a good idea to know where the security office is located and look for video cameras where you plan to sleep. You can also ask the security personnel for advice on the safest places to spend the night.
  • Don’t Seclude Yourself. If you’re travelling alone, we recommend you stay near other travellers or close to security. This will help you feel more secure and deter potential thieves.
  • Hide Your Valuables. It’s also important to hide your valuables. Don’t leave them out in plain view, as this could make you a target for theft. Additionally, if you are a deep sleeper, you may want to padlock your bag to something or sleep with your bag up against a wall to make it harder for someone to access zippers and pockets. We have received reports of sleepers who woke up without their phones and laptop bags. The travellers were left with just their headphones and laptop bag strap.
  • Stay Alert. It’s best to stay alert and awake if you feel unsafe or uncomfortable. Drink coffee or other caffeinated beverages to help you stay awake, and remember that you can always catch up on sleep during your flight. These simple precautions can help you enjoy a safe night at the airport.
