Shopping hours in Bali

In general, shopping hours in Bali are 9am-6pm. daily. Of course it depends where you are and what you are shopping for.


In Kuta the handicraft vendors start getting going around 9am-10am, as do internet cafes. Warungs and restaurants are open for breakfast, at least those with a western menu and you can get served at 8am.

Each place is different and at Cafe Moka in Seminyak, you can get breakfast at 7.30am, Global Xtreme internet cafe and ISP, opening at 8am. As Bali is a holiday island, shops have to be concious of the tourist’s schedule, which is to get up late, eat a late breakfast, do some shopping, go to the beach, back for drinks, eat dinner, bit more DVD shopping, then party.

In response to this, shops stay open till 9pm-10pm. pretty much most of the shops are shut by 10pm.

One of the main shopping areas in Bali is Kuta Square, the narrow street leading from Jl. Pantai Kuta, through to Jl. Kartika Plaza. Kuta Square is lined with shops selling surf wear, watches, clothing, and has Haagen Dazs, McDonalds, KFC and Matahari Department store, a great place to browse and pick up everyday items. There is also a supermarket on the ground floor. Kuta Square gets going around 9am and ends around 10pm.

Most of the big supermarkets and department stores have similar hours. In places such as Kuta Galeria, a specially built complex of shops, it depends on each shop. For example Global Chiropractors in Kuta Galeria open at 7am. Other businesses open later.

Shopping in Bali can be a lot easier than in Europe, things don’t close on the weekends, as far as the stuff you are likely to need.
