Authentic Finds You’ll Love to Take Home
Bali isn’t just famous for its beaches and temples — it’s also a shopper’s paradise, full of handmade goods and local specialties that make great souvenirs or gifts. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a Bali veteran, here are five things worth adding to your suitcase.
1. Handcrafted Silver Jewelry
Why?
Bali, especially the town of Celuk, is renowned for its fine silver craftsmanship. Local artisans handmake intricate rings, necklaces, and earrings — often at prices much lower than in Western countries.
Tip: Always ask for 925 sterling silver certification.
Where: Celuk Village, Ubud markets, or authorized jewelry boutiques.
2. Natural Skincare & Spa Products
Why?
Bali’s natural beauty culture is strong. Products made with coconut oil, aloe vera, volcanic clay, and essential oils are widely available — perfect for a spa day at home.
Top Picks: Body scrubs, hair oils, handmade soaps.
Where: Sensatia Botanicals, Utama Spice, or local apothecaries in Seminyak/Ubud.
3. Batik & Ikat Fabrics
Why?
Indonesia is the home of batik, and Bali offers unique versions of these traditional hand-dyed textiles. The bold colors and symbolic patterns are beautiful for scarves, wraps, or even framed art.
Where: Local markets (Sukawati, Ubud), or shops like Threads of Life (fair-trade).
4. Rattan Bags & Home Decor
Why?
From round rattan sling bags to woven placemats and baskets, Bali is a great place to shop for sustainable, stylish accessories and home goods.
Where: Ubud Art Market, Canggu boutiques, Seminyak concept stores.
5. Kopi Luwak & Balinese Coffee
Why?
Coffee lovers shouldn’t miss trying Bali’s famous coffee, especially Kopi Luwak, made using a unique (and controversial) fermentation process. For a more ethical option, try organic Balinese Arabica beans.
Where: Local coffee plantations (with tours), cafes like Seniman Coffee Studio, or Bali airport duty-free.
Bargaining is expected in markets, but fixed-price stores are also common. Always check for export restrictions (especially for wood, food, or animal-based items).
