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.

It was interesting.There are some places where you would feel a little bit insecure ,but people there are very kind. Our resort was fine.we were at Nusa Dua beach hotel and spa. We had problems with our rooms cards almost daily.My favorite restaurant out of the resort was Bebek Tebasari Resto. I would recommend to visit the monkey forest as well .
