Where to shop in Bali
Shopping in Bali splits into three worlds: air-conditioned malls in Kuta, Denpasar, Seminyak and Nusa Dua for brands, supermarkets and cinemas; traditional and craft markets such as Ubud Art Market for sarongs, baskets and souvenirs; and independent stores selling Balinese labels and products from local makers. This page lists the malls, markets and local stores we recommend, area by area, with practical tips on haggling, opening times and how to fit shopping into a rainy afternoon.

Markets in Bali
Markets are where you find sarongs, rattan bags, wood carvings and small gifts. Ubud Art Market, opposite the Royal Palace, is the best known: go early, before the tour groups, and haggle with a smile. Prices are rarely displayed, so start well below the first price and agree on a figure before you pay. In Canggu, Love Anchor on Jalan Pantai Batu Bolong gathers dozens of independent stalls of local fashion, jewellery and homeware, in a more relaxed setting.
- Ubud Art Market: crafts, sarongs and baskets, best in the morning
- Love Anchor, Canggu: independent designers, fashion and jewellery
- Seminyak Square: small craft market among the shops
- Weekend makers' markets at venues such as Old Man's and La Brisa
Local stores and Balinese labels
For something more personal than market souvenirs, look for shops that work directly with island makers. Bali Direct Store in Pererenan sells products from local producers, from food to homeware, and Cap Bali in Kuta prints casual clothing with batik, songket and other Indonesian motifs. Buying from these stores supports local craftspeople and usually means fixed prices, which suits travellers who do not enjoy haggling.
Practical tips for shopping in Bali
Malls accept cards, but markets and small stalls mostly work in cash, in Indonesian rupiah. Keep small notes for markets and check change carefully. Large sculptures and furniture can be shipped home through specialised freight companies, which saves luggage fees. Traffic in Kuta and Seminyak is heavy in late afternoon, so plan mall visits for the morning or early afternoon. If you are looking for a specific item or a trusted maker, our local agent can point you to the right address on WhatsApp.

Should you haggle at markets in Bali?
Yes, haggling is normal in markets such as Ubud Art Market, where prices are not displayed. Start well below the first price, stay friendly and walk away if the price does not suit you. In malls, supermarkets and most local design stores, prices are fixed and haggling is not expected.
What time does Ubud Art Market open?
The market opens in the morning and closes in the late afternoon. Arrive early: stalls are calmer before the tour groups come, and some sellers like to make a first sale of the day, which can help when you negotiate. Check current hours locally, as they can vary on ceremony days.
What souvenirs to buy in Bali?
Popular choices are sarongs and batik, rattan bags, wood and stone carvings, silver jewellery from Celuk, local coffee and spices, and natural cosmetics from Balinese brands. Stores like Bali Direct Store and Cap Bali offer locally made products at fixed prices, as an alternative to market stalls.
Can I pay by card when shopping in Bali?
Malls, supermarkets and most boutiques accept cards. Markets and small stalls mostly take cash in Indonesian rupiah, so carry small notes and check your change. Some shops add a surcharge for card payments, so ask before paying, and choose to be charged in rupiah when the terminal offers a currency choice.
