Best Shopping Malls in South Bali, Indonesia

Bali Shopping Experience

The Bali shopping experience is no less authentic when undertaken in one of its sprawling shopping malls. These air-conditioned shrines to retail are popping up like mushrooms all over South Bali. Although they are nowhere near outnumbering the island’s many temples, the multiplying malls are indeed transforming South Bali’s retail scene for the better.

Furthermore, more Bali malls translate to more outlets for the island’s fascinating hand-crafted products. This expansion enables tourists to sample the local delicious dining in a comfortable environment that is relatively safe from Bali belly.

T Galleria/Mal Bali Galeria

The sprawling Galleria complex situated on Bali’s Simpang Siur interchange is made up of three separate buildings. The main structure houses the T Galleria Duty-Free Shopping center and Planet Hollywood; another building features the Galeria 21 cineplex; and the Mal Bali Galeria building.

Mal Bali Galeria is a two-storey town mall equipped with a movie theater, supermarket, boutiques, and high-end shops, all arranged around an airy central garden.

T Galleria by DFS offers a range of duty-free goods for travelers willing to splurge on luxury items. Since it is designed exclusively for tourists, you must provide your passport and proof of travel before shopping here.
