Not only is their store a Mecca for anyone who has ever owned a surfboard, but it’s one of the most unique designs of any store in Bali.
It was founded in 2008, and in addition to the usual surfing products, it also sells original art from artists like Andy Davis and Christ Del Moro.
They have a real focus on ensuring their product lines are ethically sourced and are also of the highest quality.
Whether you want tropical prints on your surf shorts, you’re covered at Drifter Surf Shop.

Amazing Art In Seminyak: Our Favourite Gallery
Purpa Fine Art Gallery: Local Talent Showcase
Purpa’s fine art is also of a contemporary bent but tends to focus solely on local talent.
However, they have broadened “local” to mean not just local artisans but also people who have spent long periods of time residing in Bali, no matter what their nationality is.
They form long-term partnerships with their artists and seek to work with other prominent collections to help them further their artistic careers.
The gallery is run by Ari Purpa, a renowned local art investor.

Supermarket Shopping For Those In The Know
Grand Lucky Supermarket: Get Your Cheeses Here
We like Grand Lucky too, mainly because they have an excellent cheese range and more fresh fruit and veg than the other supermarkets seem to carry.
It’s also the most convenient place to shop in Seminyak if you’re coming from the airport and don’t want to endure too much Bali traffic before you head home.

Markets For Those Who Love To Wander
Double Six Street Markets: A Wide Range Of Choice
This place is often called Jalan Arjuna by locals. It’s one of Seminyak’s busiest and most exciting markets. There are some great restaurants nearby, too.
The big draw of this market is the top-quality sarong shops and fashion stores it hosts. It’s also near the Double Six Beach, so you can always go and chill out by the waves after you shop.
Where Is It? Jl. Double Six, Seminyak, Kec. Kuta, Kabupaten Badung, Bali, Indonesia
What To Buy There? Sarongs, fashion accessories, leather products, clothing, jewellery, etc.
Flea Market Oberoi: Not As Cheap As You Might Hope
We love flea markets as they have the most enjoyable market feel. This market is a great place to look for beach and summer clothing. However, it’s cheaper than expected for a flea market and haggling is mandatory.
However, it’s worth noting that the products here are always of a consistent quality level, and you should always be able to reach an affordable price, even if you won’t get as many bargains as you hoped.
And it’s the best Seminyak flea market.

FAQs
What Is The Main Street For Shopping In Seminyak?
Seminyak doesn’t really have one shopping street or centre; there are boutiques scattered throughout the area, and you can’t go wrong by just wandering around.
However, Jalan Kayu Aya (Eat Street) is a particularly popular shopping destination as it also encompasses the indie mall, Seminyak Village.
Is Bali Cheap For Clothes Shopping?
It really depends on what you are shopping for. Bali is cheap for clothes that can be purchased at local markets or that are mass-produced in Indonesia. Smaller boutique stores in the high-fashion arena, however, may be a little cheaper than back home, but not much.
Is Seminyak Or Kuta Best For Shopping?
Seminyak is a haven of independent boutiques and high-fashion stores. Kuta, on the other hand, is more of a generic international mall town. If you want cutting-edge clothing, Seminyak is the place to be, but if you want reliable labels from back home, Kuta is going to be better.
Is Canngu Or Seminyak Best For Shopping?
There’s really not much in this nowadays. Where once Seminyak was the key spot for shopping high-fashion brands, now, Canggu has as many boutiques, though it doesn’t yet have a mall like Seminyak Village for those who like to do their shopping all under one roof.
Final Thoughts On Seminyak Shopping
Seminyak is a very popular shopping spot for those who enjoy buying fashionable items from local suppliers. If you like cutting-edge beachwear, in particular, you can’t go wrong with a day out in the shops of Seminyak.
