17 Best Shopping Experiences in Kerobokan

Hummingbird Nightwear is a fashion boutique on the Jalan Raya Kerobokan main road that offers a great range of comfortable, 100% pure cotton wear in classical designs. It has a fine range of pyjamas and light resort wear in store. The pieces are easy-fit, and themed collections include a vintage-style summer night selection for a more colourful look. There are also signature nautical, sailor-inspired collections worth checking out.

Jalan Raya Kerobokan is one of Bali’s most popular go-to destinations for homeware, décor, furniture and art items, thanks to the variety of stores that line its length. It’s conveniently a continuation of the northern end of the fashion boutique-lined Jalan Raya Seminyak.

While the whole interconnecting side streets of the Kerobokan area are lined with rows and rows of roadside shops selling antiques, glassware and statues of various shapes and sizes, your shopping walks will usually start at this main street.

Kevala Home is a factory outlet of Kevala Ceramics Bali, presenting its line of designer homeware with an emphasis on ceramic items. All of the items are produced in its factory near Sanur. Whenever you dine at a 5-star restaurant in Bali, chances are that the quirkily shaped noodle bowls, plates bearing hand-sketched botanical motifs, or even the scented oil burners in the corner of the dining room, are one-off commissioned designs courtesy of Kevala Bali.

No 2 items are identical – inconsistencies resulting from the kiln-firing process at temperatures of up to 1,200°C are historically considered to be an attractive aspect of the craft.

Magica Magica is a small boutique on the Kerobokan main street that can be a 1-stop solution for hip fashion accessories and casual pieces of jewellery.

Magica Magica specialises in wholesale pieces of jewellery that it exports worldwide, but you can find many of their truly affordable pieces in the store. They come in a wide range of designs, ranging from silver-studded faux leather bracelets, colourful strand rings and friendship bracelets in various colours. They also do custom orders.

Psylo Fashion is a funky fashion boutique that offers a unique range of youthful fashion items. The shop on Jalan Petitenget in Kerobokan presents modern urban streetwear with a hint of tribal and ethnic stylings matching a range of contemporary music genres.

You can find tattoo-style prints that feature prominently throughout the collection, along with layers and uneven cuts. Other styles within the collection include gothic, punk rock, indie, emo, steampunk, rebel and a style that Psylo describes as ‘ethno-punk’.

Little girls will love Rosada Dollhouse, a toy store in Kerobokan that showcases a huge collection of specially tailor-made dollhouses in bright colours. The dollhouses come complete with their range of miniature wooden furniture and accessories.

If you're looking for simple gifts, there are hand fans, incenses, buffalo horn dining sets, clutch purses and sterling silver jewellery on offer. Fashion accessories also come in a budget range, featuring earrings and necklaces made from recycled glass, resin and leather – all in intricate and dazzling designs.

Smoked Garage can be a wonderful spot to check out while in Kerobokan, especially if you happen to be a motorhead. This 'garage' might inspire you with its great collection of classical chopper-style performance motorcycles. It was established by a group of local bike lovers who just love looking at, riding, tearing apart and having the vision to build bikes.

Smoked Garage features a boutique collection of custom builds comprising road, dirt and trails bikes and others that simply look rare and amazing. This is thanks to over 16 technicians and engineers who are hands-on in the designing and building process of each project. Apart from that, you can browse over the many biker helmets and apparels available for purchase.

The Taman Sari Market, locally referred to as Pasar Taman Sari, is one of the very few local markets of its kind in the Seminyak area. A visit to this market, that’s tucked away from the boutique-lined streets of Kerobokan, can be a unique deviation from the predominantly upscale shopping and world-class dining scenes of both Kerobokan and neighbouring Seminyak.

This local market is a great stop for whenever you’re looking for fresh, locally harvested tropical fruits such as mangosteen and mangoes – all at bargain prices. It’s within easy reach of the area’s collection of villas and resorts.

You can check out their attractive monthly promotions as well as exclusive discounts. The shop has a loyal following among Canggu, Seminyak and Kerobokan wine-loving expats as well as keen visitors who drop in during their walks along the Kerobokan main road to enjoy the fabulous wine-tasting offers.
