Sukawati Art Market — Attraction in Pulau Bali

The old Sukawati Markets had a lot more character and a traditional feeling than these new markets. In building these multi-storey markets the sellers are crammed into small spaces and sell the same products. In the main building the prices start at ridiculously high prices that will make you think that you're in Ubud. Sure, the buildings look new and fresh (for now) but they just look the same as each other and feel lifeless.

So, if you want a better price, don't just go to the main building that was the first to be completed. Try the other two buildings if you want a more reasonable starting point to barter. Otherwise you'd be better off shopping at a Krisna store. Haggling can be an enjoyable experience so keep cool and calm, there's no point getting annoyed. If you aren't happy, just walk away and try somewhere else. Some sellers are reasonable and others, well, they're under pressure.

The other big downside of these markets is that there is no longer a good night market, it's gone. It's terribly sad to see minimal food carts and warungs around here, Sukawati has sadly lost its magic.......and so continues the push to turn Bali into something...

All kind of souvenirs you can buy here. A lot cheaper than the big souvenir shops at Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu etc. Get a good price there is still place for some negotiation. Don't let you impress by the Dealers when they try to offer you anything, keep/stay calm (and quiet) and look until you find what you want/like. Take enough small Money along so you prevent that The dealer tells you "have No Change" - Indonesien people of can pay with 'QRIS' (General advice to all pasars or street Shops). The art market is not a place for to buy food! as well as it's name is Pasar! (Got stupid questions on it). There are in total 3 Blocks where you can buy things. Large parking 🅿️ lots (need to pay). But walk around in the area there are a lot of small business shops with attractive offers and some extraordinary products. But look as well in the small shops around in The area where to find as well...
