Want to go shopping in Bali? Well, the island has a lot to offer if you’ve got the money to spend!
We’ve found the 21 best shopping experiences here in Bali and there are many more waiting to be discovered by intrepid visitors too.
Shopping Malls
There are plenty of malls in Bali for international brands, fashion boutiques, a department store or two, and as much retail therapy as you can count.
Brands like Living World, Bali Collection and Mal Bali Galeria are favourites for some but the big three malls for most tourists in Bali are:
Discovery Shopping Mall
Discovery is probably the most popular shopping mall in Bali and it offers a wide range of international brands and local stores. It’s nothing spectacular but it’s dependable when you need something urgently.
Where Is It? Jl. Kartika Plaza, Kuta, Kec. Kuta, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361, Indonesia
Online: Discovery
Icon Shopping Mall
Icon is the newest shopping mall in Bali. Shopping here is definitely an experience but we’re not sure how long it’s going to stay busy for. Sanur seems like an odd place to put this.
Where Is It? Jl. Danau Tamblingan No.27, Sanur, Denpasar Selatan, Kota Denpasar, Bali 80228, Indonesia
Online: Icon
Kuta Beachwalk
This is one of the most stylish and iconic malls in Bali and not far from Discovery Mall which means you can probably visit them both on the same trip.

Art Markets
Art Markets are a great way to buy from street vendors selling local handicrafts and the works of local artists.
If you love traditional crafts, handmade jewellery, etc. then these bustling markets are much cheaper than art shops and represent a great way to buy authentic goods.
Ubud Art Market
Ubud Art Market is the biggest and best of the art markets here in Bali and if you bring your haggling game, you can get some great deals too.

FAQs
Is Bali Good For Shopping For Clothes?
Yes! Shopping in Bali for clothes makes a lot of sense. Particularly, if you like the local designers as their products are available much more cheaply in Bali than in shopping malls back home.
Is It Cheaper To Shop In Bali? Is Bali Expensive For Shopping?
It depends. Things like street food from food vendors in an art market is way cheaper than back home.
T-shirts and other simple gifts have lower price tags in this shoppers paradise than in most Western towns.
But if you want to buy electronics or imported goods of any kind, they may be as expensive if not more so than at home.
What Kind Of Shopping Can You Do In Bali?
You can buy almost anything in Bali. The island is part of a huge archipelago and very much part of the modern global shopping scene.
Bali shopping consists of everything from high-end luxury malls to night markets and boutique stores.
Whether you’re in the market for vibrant textiles, wooden sculptures, household items, silk scarves, handicraft items, designer clothing or just want to buy souvenirs, you won’t have any problem finding great bargains in Bali.
Is Gucci Cheaper In Bali?
Legitimate Gucci products tend to cost the same the world over, no matter how good your bargaining skills are.
However, if you find your shopping choices in Bali lead you to the conclusion that Gucci products are cheaper in Bali – you’re probably looking at fake products.
It depends on what you want to go shopping for. Beauty products, clothing, etc. are best found in Seminyak Village and Canggu where the best designer boutiques are based.
Whereas, if you want to go shopping in a big mall, then Kuta or Sanur is going to be your best bet.
If what you want, on the other hand, is hand-crafted goods or fresh produce from nearby farms, Ubud or Sukawati might be your best option.
What Is Bali’s Biggest Shopping Mall?
Officially, the new Icon Mall in Sanur is the “biggest mall in Southeast Asia”.
However, we’re not sure this is correct based on reports from visitors and based on our own experience there but we haven’t had a chance to measure the place, so we’ll take their word for it. Other than that Living World and Beachwalk should be larger.
Final Thoughts On Shopping in Bali
Many people come on holiday just to go shopping in Bali. It’s a shopper’s dream..
The art markets (Ubud Art Market, Sukawati Art Market, Kumbasari Art Market, etc.) are particularly popular with people looking to stock up on authentic souvenirs and the designer boutiques are in high demand with fashionistas.
However, it’s worth remembering that not everything is cheaper in Bali and it can be better to buy some things at home rather than trying to bring them back in your suitcase at the end of your holiday.
