Is Bali Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

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

Solo travel

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.

If you are a travel beginner, Try Bali. It has lots of options from luxury to budget, nature to city and nightlife, cultures and more. The price is also still affordable and it is safe for women, worth to try!

Solo travel

Bali is pretty safe for solo travellers. The whole country main income is tourism, they are setup to accomodate anyone and everyone. It’s very cheap (atleast for Aussies with the conversion rate) I stayed in a Villa by myself and also decided to stay in a hostel (same price as being somewhere on my own!). The best way to get around is by motorbike. Use the apps Grab & GoJek

Drivers: Generally a positive experience. On time, helpful, polite etc then we got a bad one. Asked us if we wanted to visit a wood carving site. Firmly said no and an hour later we pulled into a wood carving site. Made the mistake of telling this guy we would pay for 6 - 8 hours which meant he drove us through places we didn't want to go. In the end I told him we would pay for 8 hours even if we got back early. Within 10 minutes we were back at the hotel. I checked the villages he had driven through against a map, he was just wasting time. I think these guys should be licensed. Truely appalling: The harressment: Bali's main income is via tourism? well they should look after the tourists a little better. We spent a lot, we tipped well, we bought a lot of stuff that we wanted. We did not need to be constantly hassled or have people attempting to con us. Very quickly I learnt to ignore the hawkers. But it doesn't stop there, taxi drivers, wait staff, it doesn't matter where you go everyone tries it on in some way to try and make an extra dollar. Even an elderly gentleman at a temple gave us a traditional blessing, very nice, then lifts up a cloth on the table indicating a stack of cash. We gave some and he became agitated demanding more, we walked out. End result: If I visit again it will be to a resort and I will spend most time on the beach and away from Bali itself. But with the crap in the water I think there are many other places offering a good beach to relax on without the possible health risk and other associated drawbacks.

I felt very safe in Bali as a female solo traveller. I have never felt mildly worried or unsafe here. Everyone I encountered was friendly and welcoming. There are also lots of solo travelers that you will meet.

Bali is such a well travelled island that it feels incredibly safe and hospitable for travellers of all kinds. I had many moments travelling alone throughout Bali and there was never a moment that I felt unsafe. Do you try to steer away from the well-being paths because there are a lot of people in the popular areas and it can get quite overwhelming. Munduk, and around that area are much quieter and no less beautiful than the popular Ubud areas or Uluwatu. You will find unique beauty in all parts of the island. Amed is lovely too! Beautiful for beach stays. You can expect to pay a minimum of around 200k IDR per night for your own room/joglo. Of course, you do get what you pay for. The food is delicious and mostly clean wherever you go these days as the locals have much more awareness about it. Do be careful though as Bali belly is real. Don’t let the tap water get in your mouth at all. All in all Bali is wonderful!

We felt safe during our time in Bali. We visited ubud,uluwatu and the gili islands. We had a mix between beach day and city trip. In ubud you could do more activities like yoga or shooing. In refer to the gili islands it depends which island you are planning to visit. Gili meno was quite and small island perfect to relax. Gili T was like the party island.

I felt very save, people is so friendly. I would recommend to all the women. Vegan and vegetwrian options everywhere. Yoga, pilates and fitness. Also you can enjoy parties and a lot of activities. You can move around by bike or with th çe grab app.

I highly recommend bali as female solo traveler! I never feel comfortable driving myself in foreign countries especially on scooter so I used the apps grab and gojek the whole time I was there which was easy to use and so so cheap! gojek also was great to be able to order food deliveries, massage therapists, anything you need! I found accommodation via fb groups but it’s important to go check it out in person to make sure it looks like the pictures but also to see if there’s any noisy construction or weird neighbors, strange smells/cleanliness or overall safe environment that you can only be able to check in person not from online.

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.

I'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
