7 Bali Markets to Visit During Your Holiday
Bali Markets to Visit During Your Holiday
Bali’s market scene keeps getting better, with more and more local markets popping up across the island. Some happen regularly, some are bi-monthly, while others pop up on specific dates, so it’s always worth checking their schedules before you go. We love supporting these markets because they’re where small local businesses, independent makers, and homegrown brands get their moment in the spotlight. The vendors in each market are diverse too – from home bakeries, organic fruits and vegetables, pop-up coffee stands to local crafts, vintage finds, thrifted pieces, and everything in between. Here are some markets across different neighbourhoods in Bali that you can add to your holiday plans – hopefully, you’ll catch one or two while you’re here!

Hatch Market
Hosted by Hatch Uluwatu, this weekend market takes place every Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 4pm. There’s something for everyone here, but if you’re looking for artsy souvenirs to bring home, you’ll find plenty of them. Some of the interesting stalls that caught our eye were Paintings by Eva, handmade pottery by Pottaruu, and contemporary sarongs by Alus Nusantara. The vendors rotate regularly, so every visit can be a little different – just show up and see which talented local makers you get to discover on the day.
Rame Rame Market
This one is a pop-up market, so you’ll need to check their Instagram for the next schedule. The name “Rame Rame” means together in a lively group, in bahasa Indonesia, which captures the market’s vibe – like a bunch of friends getting together to hang out. What makes it interesting is their unique mix of vendors and activities, from tattoo artists, nail art, and live drawing sessions to photo booth, with food vendors on hand when you need a bite after browsing. Some highlights from the last market were custom leather journals by Reverie Thread, tarot readings by Sadwa Dharti, and sweet treats by Loka Legi.
Good Neighbours Market
Now, this one is both kid-friendly and furry-kid-friendly! There’s a big lawn area at the back where you can spread out a picnic blanket and enjoy snacks from the food stalls, with everything from sweet treats and savoury bites to proper meals – as well as snacks for your furry friends too! Other than food, there are also local vendors selling various things from clothing and accessories to flowers, along with creative workshops, live music, bar, and even a puppy adoption corner. There were plenty of cute finds, from artisan ceramics by Gelas Cantik and accessories by Daria to the adorable puppies up for adoption through Lucky Dog Rescue Bali.

Joan Market
This one is held by Joan Marin Coffee in Denpasar, if you’re looking for a more local, and less touristy market experience, you will like it. You’ll find a small selection of interesting local brands, alongside snacks and freshly baked goods. It’s a smaller market with just a handful of vendors each time, making it a nice spot for a slow afternoon browse and coffee. Since it’s a pop-up, be sure to check their Instagram for the next scheduled date.
Byrd House Market
Every Sunday from 9am to 5pm, Byrd House Bali hosts a market right by Sanur’s shoreline, a lovely spot for a relaxed weekend browse. Wander through a good mix of homemade baked goods, arts and crafts, fashion, and other local find. Once you’ve had your fill of browsing and shopping, you can settle in for lunch or coffee at their family-friendly restaurant.

Samadi Sunday Market
This is one of the most popular markets in Canggu, but in case you haven’t been, Samadi is a yoga and wellness centre that hosts the market every Sunday. You’ll find vendors selling all sorts of wholesome goodies, from organic fruit and vegetables, artisanal bread, homemade jams, raw chocolate, and natural spices to fresh juices. There’s also a lovely selection of handmade and sustainable items, from clothing, accessories, and skincare. It’s giving Ubud vibes, but in Canggu.
La Brisa Market
And of course, while you’re in Canggu, you can’t miss the iconic, and probably the busiest market in the neighbourhood. We can’t exactly tell you to come early to beat the crowds, because chances are everyone else has had the same idea, and even the early mornings can get pretty busy. Still, it’s easy to see why this market remains on everyone’s Bali checklist. It has, quite literally, everything: beautiful Bali keepsakes, organic produce, ready-to-eat food, snacks, and even everyday essentials you might need at home. Just come prepared for a lot of people around!
Alrighty…so if you’re in Bali and fancy doing a little shopping beyond the usual malls and boutiques, keep an eye out for these local markets. You never know what you might stumble across – maybe a very nice local brand, a cute handmade accessories, a bag of fresh local produce, or a new favourite brownie. We’ll keep adding to this list as we discover more, so stay tuned for more market finds. Happy shopping, and see you around!
