Arriving early at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport does not have to mean sitting on a crowded plastic chair staring at the departure board. Bali’s main airport, better known as Ngurah Rai or DPS, now offers several lounge options that let you rest, eat, and freshen up in far more comfortable surroundings before your flight.
Whether you are flying domestically or heading out internationally, there is a lounge setup that suits your needs. SatuSatu, a Bali travel platform that helps travelers discover and book experiences across the island, has put together this guide to help you make the most of your time at the airport.
How Many Lounges Are There at Bali Airport?
Ngurah Rai International Airport has lounges in both its domestic and international terminals, and they are managed separately. In total, there are around three publicly accessible paid lounges, plus several airline-exclusive lounges reserved for business and first class passengers or elite frequent flyers.
The publicly accessible options are mainly operated under the Concordia Lounge banner, which has a presence in both the domestic and international terminals. These are the lounges that any traveler, regardless of airline or ticket class, can access if they pay the entry fee or hold a qualifying lounge membership.
The Tujuwan Lounge in the international terminal was recently renovated and reopened with a fresh, futuristic interior blending Balinese design elements. However, Tujuwan is currently reserved for passengers who qualify through their airline status or premium cabin tickets.
Garuda Indonesia also operates its own dedicated lounges in both terminals for SkyTeam members and premium cabin guests. These are not open for general purchase at the door.
The Concordia Lounge: What to Expect
The Concordia Lounge is the main publicly accessible lounge at Ngurah Rai Airport and is the one most independent travelers will use. It operates in both the domestic and international departure areas.
In the domestic terminal, the Concordia Lounge is located on Level 2, near Gate 6, and is open from around 5am to 10pm daily. In the international terminal, it sits on the third floor above the immigration and customs area and is open from 6am to around 2am, or until the last scheduled flight of the day.
Both locations are airside, meaning you must have cleared check-in and security before entering. The lounge offers comfortable seating, free Wi-Fi, a selection of food and beverages, air conditioning, flight information screens, and quiet areas away from the main terminal noise.
The international terminal location also has massage chairs available at no extra cost. Children under two years of age are admitted free of charge.
Prices and How to Access
Access to the Concordia Lounge at Ngurah Rai Airport can be obtained in several ways. Walk-in entry typically starts from around USD 13 per person for a three-hour session, with prices varying slightly depending on which booking channel you use.
Some lounge membership programs such as Priority Pass, Dragonpass, and Dreamfolks include access to the Concordia Lounge as part of their membership benefits.
For the domestic Concordia Lounge, the general counter price is around IDR 150,000 per person for a three-hour session, which makes it one of the more affordable ways to upgrade your airport experience. Lounge stays are capped at three hours per visit, so it is worth timing your arrival accordingly.
The international terminal Concordia Lounge has a slightly higher entry rate. Walk-up access without a membership typically costs around USD 35. Lounge membership programs tend to offer better rates when booked in advance online, sometimes as low as USD 11 to USD 19 for a three-hour pass.
Airline Lounges at Ngurah Rai
If you are flying with Garuda Indonesia or any SkyTeam member airline in a premium cabin, or if you hold SkyTeam Elite or Elite Plus status, you will have access to the Garuda Indonesia Lounge.
The domestic version of the Garuda lounge is widely considered the best in its terminal, with a well-stocked buffet, a clean layout, and attentive staff. The international Garuda lounge follows similar standards and is open from 5am daily until the last departure.
The newly renovated Tujuwan Lounge in the international terminal is operated by PT Jasa Angkasa Semesta (JAS) and features a futuristic design with Balinese cultural touches.
Its name is derived from the words for seven and cloud in Indonesian, together meaning seventh heaven. Access is currently limited to passengers with qualifying airline or elite status.
Practical Tips for Using a Bali Airport Lounge
A few things worth knowing before you head in. First, all lounges are airside and only accessible to departing passengers who have their boarding pass in hand. Arriving passengers cannot use the departure lounges.
Second, domestic and international lounges are in completely separate areas of the airport, so make sure you are heading to the correct terminal. If you are flying on Nyepi, Bali’s Day of Silence, note that the airport closes entirely for 24 hours and all lounges are also closed.
For everyone else, arriving at the lounge at least 30 to 45 minutes before your boarding window is recommended so you have time to eat and settle in without rushing.
It is also worth knowing that lounge passes are usually non-refundable once booked, so confirm your flight details before purchasing. Entry is strictly limited to the terminal matching your departure, and staff will check your boarding pass at the door.
