Perfect location for a solo trip. I met a lot awesome people and made some friends for life. Be a lil careful at night time. I had one sketchy experience with a taxi, but otherwise i felt really safe and had the time of my life. Everyone were very friendly!!

This was my first real solo trip (i have traveled to places alone and met up with people before) I didnt know it was the start of rain season but I didnt mind the rain. The temperature was always nice. Felt very save with the locals but did have one experience at a hotel where one of the staf members wanted to have a midnight Swim with me. Told him no a couple of times but he kept insisting. I went inside my room and he knocked on the door a few times before leaving. I left this hotel earlier...

My favorite thing about Bali was the wellness culture communities. I haven’t seen those quite so extensive anywhere and would love to. Bali itself felt a bit like a tropical nyc so that did take away a bit from the experience. I understand the last 3 years it has gotten a mass influx of people. I share because it was just such a surprise.

I was back in Bali for a month recently after living there my whole life, and it’s such a beautiful place to come back to, and always more to explore. My favorite part is the amazing restaurants there I grew up with! Some of my favorites are Rize in Pererenan and Ubud, and Plant Bistro in Ubud.

“I really loved Bali. Unfortunately, I stayed in the same area the whole time because I didn’t really know where else to go and I mainly went there for boxing. I would definitely recommend Bali as a solo trip because I was riding around on my own all the time and I’ve never felt that safe before. Nobody really bothers you, which is really nice. Bali is generally quite cheap but I stayed in Canggu which is more of a fitness area so it’s quite overpriced there. But overall it’s definitely a...

This was my first real tropial trip but looking back so far it is my favorite, we felt very safe, super nice locals, and many interesting nice drivers who took us on tours and had a very obvious love of their country and wanted others to expirence it all. We were there for 2.5 weeks and didn't have asingle expirence that made us feel unwelcome or unsafe. Lembongan is amazing especially for snorkling, also widesands beach retreat on the main island has amazing staff who were super nice and took...

My daughter and I had a lovely time while we were at Bali, we stayed for 9 nights, but that wasn't enough. We're planning to go again soon. The Balinese people were very friendly and all positive.We meet and talk to people from all over the world .Bali nights were fun. The bad part was the mosquitoes were much and the local restaurants were looking dirty but we went to restaurants where all the tourists were.If you like surfing 🏄♂️ its absolutely fine.
Posted: December 19, 2025Experienced: October, 2025Loved everything!!Beauriful people, places, food, vibes everything!!Some waterfalls were not upto the mark but it was beautiful! Need a vehicle to explore for sure, cos everything is so far off! Loved the artefacts, carving and vegan food options
Posted: November 7, 2025Bali’s safe. But I think it’s hard to met some people in this destination. Book a tour with a local guide to see everything from Bali and not only the touristic things. You can do a lot for nothing there.

It was perfect experience! I really loved it! Even though I came alone, it was easy to find girls to hang out with. Food is cheap and delicious, people are friendly! Also recommend to try massage, it’s also very cheap!

On the very first day, my bag with documents and money was stolen at the beach right from the surf spot. The thieves are strange because there were headphones in the bag, and I was able to track them, but still—don't leave your belongings even in places that seem safe.
Posted: May 9, 2026It's generally a safe place.There always the regular occasional breaking and entering like in any place in the world. But I feel more safe here than in many places. People are friendly and not predatorial like you can feel in other places.

If use simple rules for safe like everwhere in the world then it’s ok. Here lots of foreigners and lots of tourists traps. But if u read and explore Beto come here about all typical stuff then it’s ok.

Bali is a safe place to travel, but you need to follow the basic safety rules that apply in any country: do not walk alone at night, do not leave a glass unattended, do not leave with strangers. But in general: the island is very safe, as the locals will always help and advise, the tourists are kind

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

Living in Bali, I enjoy traveling, staying active, and finding beauty in simple moments, sunrise walks, running, nature, and good conversations. As a single mom, I’ve learned strength, patience, and the importance of community. I’m here to connect with kind, inspiring women, share travel stories, and enjoy this journey together 🌸
