The most safest areas are Ubud and north of Bali. Uluwatu too. Not sure about Kuta, you can be robbed there. Many markets where you can be touched without permission. Also Changu. Crowded areas with lots of tourists, parties.
Posted: January 30, 2025I'd say Bali isn't that safe since a lot of people came in here. Some of them stayed and decided to live here. Some of them just wanna have a tour. I personally never being robbed because I actually don't go outside alone, like, barely. But catcalling is everywhere, and I admitted it it's annoying

From my experience, Bali is generally safe for various activities and events, as well as when walking on the streets. However, it is not always safe regarding interactions with men. My friend and I had to defend ourselves from male harassment. Another friend had her phone stolen from her hand while she was a passenger on a bike. Additionally, another friend's villa was robbed.
Posted: December 25, 2024Bali is considered safe to live in or to visit, especially for tourists. People are friendly and welcome tourists, they will treat you like their own family. But because of the high amount of tourists who rent scooters, some/ most of them do not know how to ride it properly and not following the rules, so we as locals also have to be careful.

I felt fairly safe in Bali. We stayed in the southern side of the island, where we rented a villa. It was quite cheap, though secluded. We got around by renting a car as we have the proper license. We did not do much water activities - just went to relax in the southern beaches. And I can say that it was fantastic

I felt very safe in Bali. In fact, Bali is my happy place. I love how I can choose the tour of holiday I wish to have in Bali. Be it adventure, spiritual, party or romantic, Bali has it all. I’ve been to Bali several times before and I must say, I fall in love every single time. Highly recommend going to Sidemen and making your own silver jewelry. Check out Sanur for a less crowded beach destination.

Hi you can call me Keysa. I'd love to meet new friends, show you around etc because I think it's great to meet new friends and show you the island where I live. I am not always available to host, but when I can, of course I would love to. I was so grateful to meet who I hosted! The only thing that I have to say is I am a student so maybe in some period I can't be very free during the day for staying with you, but if you want to come you are invited and when I can I would enjoy to show you places, food, go to trip or events.
