Going Natural: Bali Wellness Products We Love

Bali Wellness Products More and more people are turning to natural personal care these days (myself included), and I don’t think it’s just a passing trend anymore. Once you make the switch, you really start to notice the difference - from the ingredients you’re putting on your skin to how your skin feels and responds over time. Bali has always been such a great place to discover natural wellness brands, with homegrown labels creating products inspired by the island’s connection to nature. There are many to choose from, but these are a few that the Kata Bella team has curated. Each one has something that makes them special, and of course, we have our favourites too! From super-soft natural soap bars and skincare for sensitive skin, to products for babies and teenagers, yoga mat sprays, and even home cleaning products, there’s something for everyone and every purpose. Switching to natural products in Bali is easier than you might think, and they also make lovely presents for your loved ones. So, we hope you like our list, and find something you love too!

I know using a bar of soap might sound a little old-school these days, but wait until you try theirs. They’re seriously smooth and creamy! Their soaps are made using the cold-process method, which basically means the ingredients are mixed without high heat, which keeps more of their natural oils and goodness. The bars come in nice tropical scents and are packed with natural ingredients to help keep your skin hydrated. They’re also free from harsh chemicals and parabens, making them gentle enough for all skin types and even suitable for your face. They also have other products like hand cream, body butter, deodorant, and liquid body wash. ⭐️ Kata Bella's favourites: Jasmine, lemongrass, and passion fruit soap bars, chocolate body butter. Image credit: Bali Soap Indonesia Instagram page Bamboo Tiger Their soap bars come in lovely dusty pastel shades, and some in fun rainbow patterns, making shower time a little more fun. They also have a whole range of products with illipe butter as the star moisturising ingredient, using essential oil blends instead of synthetic fragrances. The scents range from fresh herbs and cooling peppermint to warm spices and zesty citrus. The range also includes a vegan-friendly lip balm, geranium & bergamot body cream, a rosemary & kukui hair mask, and virgin coconut oil - all made with natural, nourishing ingredients. ⭐️ Kata Bella's favourites: Orange and peppermint soap bar, wood and spices illipe butter soap bar Image credit: Bamboo Tiger Instagram page Cocona Care They pretty much do all things coconut, from virgin coconut oil and shower gel to body lotion, body scrub, body cream, shampoo, and conditioner.

It’s such a nice little experience and makes the product feel a bit more personal! We also love how they name their collections in Bahasa Indonesia, like Matahari Pagi (morning sun), Rempah (spices/herbs), and Senja (dusk) - simple, beautiful, and very Indonesian. ⭐️ Kata Bella's favourites: Serai wangi (lemongrass) scented candle, senja body lotion Image credit: Boemi Botanicals Instagram page Sensatia Botanicals You’ve probably seen their shops in many locations around Bali, especially in shopping centres. They have pretty much everything your body could need, with natural skincare products from head to toe. But what really stands out, aside from the products themselves, is their range for everyone from babies and kids to teenagers and adults - and they even a dedicated men’s collection. The thoughtful packaging is not only lovely to look at, but also makes their products great little gifts for friends and family. ⭐️ Kata Bella's favourites: Lemongrass and mandarine body scrub, tea tree and lemon facial scrub Image credit: Sensatia Botanicals Instagram page Utama Spice Started in 1989, this brand has grown into a much bigger range of natural products over the years. It’s not just about skincare either - they now also make everyday household essentials like dish soap, laundry soap, linen spray, yoga mat spray, and multipurpose spray. And if you’re trying to be a little more eco-friendly, they also offer refills that come in aluminium packaging, so you can reuse your bottles instead of constantly buying new ones. ⭐️ Kata Bella's favourites: Cocoa lip balm, tangerine body lotion Instagram page: Utama Spice Instagram page And that’s our little round-up for now!

Rainy Season Guide: Indoor Things to Do in Bali

Indoor things to do in Bali Unlike countries with four seasons, Indonesia has only two: the wet season and the dry season. Both come with a tropical climate in most parts of the country, so expect warm temperatures alllll yearrr longgg, hehe. In Bali, the rainy season typically begins around October or November and lasts until February or March. While some travellers see the rain as a holiday hurdle, others welcome it as a chance to enjoy Bali at a slower pace, with cooler temperatures and a different kind of charm. And there are still plenty to do, even when it's pouring. From cosy cafes to creative workshops, here are some fun indoor activities to add to your Bali itinerary this rainy season.

A Balinese gamelan plays softly in the background as you surrender to the goodness of a traditional Balinese massage, ahhh so good. And with many spas in Bali being very affordable, one spa day might turn into two, three, or who knows? When in Bali, let the pampering begin! A little sweat between feasts Holidays usually come with a little weight gain, but how about some muscle gains this time? hehe. Apart from endless cafes and restaurants, Bali has plenty of lovely gyms and studios offering everything from yoga and Pilates to HYROX, boxing, and MMA. Whether you're a fitness buff or just fancy trying something new, squeeze in a workout before heading off for that well-deserved buffet brunch..or lunch...or dinner...or all of them! My Go-To Gyms in Canggu for Strength Training, Classes, and Recovery Recovery day Rainy days are a pretty good excuse to take a break, especially if your body could use one too (after all the workouts!). Many gyms in Bali have recovery facilities like saunas, ice baths, steam rooms and pools. Some even have hammams, magnesium pools, infrared saunas and jacuzzis, while there are also wellness centres dedicated entirely to recovery! You'd be surprised how easily you can spend a whole afternoon just...relaxing. Get in touch with your artsy side! Bali has plenty of workshops to keep you busy on a rainy day, whether you're into painting, pottery, silver-making, or just want to try something for the plot. We've rounded up some artsy-partsy activities below. Go have a look, pick one, and make yourself a little holiday souvenir.

But if you're visiting Bali during the wet season, take it as a sign to slow down and actually enjoy the place you're staying in. Snuggle up in that comfy bed, catch up on your favourite shows, order some comfort food from room service, or simply spend some quality time with your family or friends. If you're in Bali with kids, here are some ideas of hotels with family rooms to check out.

If anything, it's a good excuse to slow down, try something new, treat yourself to a massage, discovering new cafes, or simply enjoy that lovely accommodation you booked.

So, don't let the rain stop you from having a good time! Hope you find this article useful, and happy holiday!
