Best Places to Shop in Bali (2026 Guide): Malls, Markets, Boutiques & Local Crafts

One of the best parts of vacation is the “just browsing” that somehow turns into a suitcase full of treasures. And Bali is dangerously good at that. You’ll arrive looking for a simple souvenir… and leave with a handwoven bag, a set of ceramics, a new linen outfit, and a carved statue you’re already mentally negotiating with airline baggage rules.

Below is an updated, shop-happy guide to the best shopping in Bali—from air-conditioned malls in Kuta and Seminyak to the art markets of Ubud and the craft stalls of Gianyar.

The best places to shop in Bali

If you’re short on time, these are the biggest “bang-for-your-buck” shopping stops:

• beachwalk Shopping Center (Kuta) – Bali’s iconic mall right by the beach (great for heat breaks). beachwalkbali.com
• Seminyak Village (Seminyak) – a polished, boutique-leaning mall in the heart of Seminyak. Seminyak Village
• Ubud Art Market (Ubud) – classic Bali souvenirs, textiles, and handmade goods.
• Kumbasari Art Market (Denpasar) – big selection, mixed stalls (crafts + practical items). Wanderlog
• Sukawati Art Market (Gianyar) – famous for bargain-friendly handicrafts and art finds. Bali Holiday Secrets
• Canggu markets (Love Anchor + Samadi Sunday Market) – indie designers, beachy fashion, and local artisan vibes. Love Anchor Bali
• Homewares + ceramics stores (Seminyak/Jimbaran) – for the “I want my house to feel like Bali” crowd. cargabali.com

Before you shop: Bali bargaining etiquette (without the awkwardness)

Haggling is normal in traditional markets and many small stalls—just keep it friendly.

A simple (and effective) approach:

1. Smile + ask the price first.
2. Counter politely (often 30–50% lower is a reasonable starting point in tourist-heavy markets).
3. Bundle items: “If I buy two, what’s your best price?”
4. If it’s not working, thank them and move on. No drama. No grudge. Just onward to the next treasure table.

Where you generally don’t haggle:

• Shopping malls (set prices)
• Many designer boutiques (some will offer a small discount if you buy multiple items, but it’s not the default)

Pro tip: bring small bills for markets. It speeds everything up and saves you from the “sorry, no change” shuffle.

Shopping malls in Bali (when you want AC and easy browsing)

beachwalk Shopping Center (Kuta)

If your ideal shopping day includes air-conditioning, a coffee break, and a “maybe I’ll just wander for a minute” vibe that turns into three hours—beachwalk is your place.

It’s a resort-style shopping center near Kuta Beach, with a mix of international brands, dining, and entertainment. Official hours are typically 10 AM–10 PM (Mon–Thu) and 10 AM–11 PM (Fri–Sun). beachwalkbali.com

Seminyak Village (Seminyak)

Seminyak Village is smaller and more curated than beachwalk—perfect if you like shopping that feels a bit more “boutique” and less “mega-mall.” It’s open daily from 10 AM–10 PM, which makes it an easy drop-in between brunch and sunset plans. Seminyak Village

Best for: fashion, gifts, and a comfortable shopping reset when Bali humidity decides to show off.

Art markets in Bali (souvenirs, textiles, and the fun stuff you didn’t know you needed)

Ubud Art Market (Ubud)

The Ubud Art Market is one of the most popular shopping stops on the island for good reason: it’s central, packed with variety, and full of classic Bali finds—woven bags, sarongs, wood carvings, paintings, jewelry, and plenty of little gifts that won’t explode your luggage weight.

Hours vary by vendor, but it’s commonly described as open around 8 AM–6 PM, with some stalls open later.

You’ll know you’re in the right place when you spot the playful tourist souvenirs (yes, the infamous bottle openers make appearances here too). Consider it Bali’s way of saying: relax, you’re on vacation.

Kumbasari Art Market (Denpasar)

If you want a market that feels big, local, and a little chaotic-in-a-good-way, Kumbasari is a solid choice. It’s known for Balinese crafts like textiles, rattan items, carvings, and souvenirs. Wanderlog

A reality check (in the nicest way): some visitor reports mention that not every stall is open every day, and religious holidays can be quieter.
Translation: go with flexible expectations—and treat it like a treasure hunt, not a checklist.

Extra fun move: pair Kumbasari with nearby Badung Market for a more local shopping-and-snacking experience (especially if you love wandering through food stalls). Bali Holiday Secrets

Sukawati Art Market (Gianyar)

Sukawati has a long-standing reputation as a go-to for handicrafts and deals, especially if you’re willing to bargain with a smile. It’s commonly listed as open daily from 6 AM–6 PM, though many vendors open closer to mid-morning. Bali Holiday Secrets

If you want paintings, carved pieces, masks, textiles, and classic “Bali gift shop” items at prices that often beat the most touristy areas, Sukawati is worth the trip.

Designer boutiques and shopping streets (Seminyak + Canggu + Ubud style zones)

Bali boutiques deserve their own category because… they are everywhere, and they’re very good at making you believe you’ve always been a linen person.

Seminyak: the most famous shopping streets

Seminyak has two main shopping “spines,” and they each feel different:

• Jl. Kayu Aya (Eat Street / Oberoi) – often called the main shopping street, lined with boutiques, lifestyle stores, cafés, and plenty of “I’ll just pop in” temptations.
• Jalan Raya Seminyak – a longer stretch with lots of shops and a more eclectic mix (from surf-inspired to indie labels).

And if you want a compact hub for souvenir-style browsing, Seminyak Square is still a popular stop (and is commonly listed as open daily 10 AM–10 PM).

Canggu: beachy, indie, and market-driven

Canggu is where a lot of smaller labels and local designers thrive—especially for swimwear, resort wear, jewelry, and casual “island uniform” pieces.

Two updated standouts:

• Love Anchor Bazaar (Canggu) – a market that runs seven days a week and leans heavily into beach fashion and handmade goods. Love Anchor Bali
• Samadi Sunday Market (Canggu) – a weekly Sunday market with a community vibe (officially promoted as every Sunday, 9:00–15:00). Samadi Bali

Ubud: artsy, handmade, and “I might start journaling”

Ubud boutique shopping tends to skew toward artisan-made clothing, natural fibers, craft-forward jewelry, and pieces that look like you might have just come from a retreat (even if you only came from lunch).

Balinese artisanal crafts (homewares, ceramics, and “family heirloom” finds)

If Bali shopping has a superpower, it’s homewares. The island is filled with shops where you’ll find:

• hand-thrown ceramics
• carved wood décor
• textiles and baskets
• serving bowls you’ll show off at every dinner party for the next five years

Two well-known stops that are still operating:

• CARGA (Seminyak area) – a homewares store known for Indonesian décor, ceramics, textiles, and gifts; their listed store hours are 8:00 AM–9:30 PM daily. cargabali.com
• Jenggala Keramik (Jimbaran) – a long-running Bali ceramics name with both shopping and experiences like “Paint-a-Pot” (great if you want a functional souvenir you actually made). Jenggala Keramik Bali

If you’re furniture shopping: ask the shop about shipping options (many can arrange it), and always confirm packaging, insurance, and timelines. Big pieces can be surprisingly doable—you just want the logistics to be boring and professional.

What should you buy in Bali?

The best Bali souvenirs are the ones that feel specific to the island and are easy to use back home. Great picks include:

• Textiles: sarongs, scarves, lightweight shirts, woven bags
• Homewares: ceramics, serving trays, rattan pieces, candle holders
• Art: paintings, prints, masks, small carvings (easy to pack!)
• Jewelry and accessories: especially artisan-made items (ask about materials and care)
• Food gifts: coffee, spice blends, packaged sweets (check customs rules before flying)

What I’d skip:

• Anything that feels obviously mass-produced unless you truly love it
• “Designer” items from questionable stalls (if authenticity matters to you, stick to reputable stores and malls)
