About
Sukawati art market, Gianyar, is a perfect place for those who just love to shop around or even for those who just want to see what typical Balinese souvenirs, gifts or crafts look like. If you can haggle and learn the average price, it will save you a lot of money compared to Legian, Kuta or Seminyak.You must dare to cut the offered price by 90 percent. They will probably pout or mumble in front of you but Sukawati art market is well known as a wholesale heaven so it should be that cheap; especially if you buy in bulk.

- Marshall HPhitsanulok, Thailand910 contributionsModernized and charmless.We were here 5 years ago so we decided to go to the Guwang art market, after reading that the new Suksawati was disappointing. Upon arrival Guwang was closed for renovation. No choice but to revisit Suksawati market. It now consists of two modern shopping blocks, and a street down the middle that is like the old Suksawati. We went into block one. 3 floors, of cramped small booths 95% apparel. Vendors were a bit aggressive but not rude, I'm sure the businesses are all hurting badly after COVID. The only plusses about the new building is that it has a lift and a bathroom on each floor. We bought 1 mans sarong at a reasonable price after a bit of dickering. We were mainly looking for art. We then spied the street (old section) in the center running to the back. There are art, souvenir shops and warungs. Not many shops. None the less we checked out the art shops. The first one on the left seemed to be a bigger and more interesting shop. After exploring all the art shops we went back to the aforementioned shop as we had seen a painting that did strike our fancy. It was large at about 3 ft by 5 foot, on canvas. The owner asked 600,000 idr. We ended up at 350 idr, happy all around. They removed the wood stretchers and rolled the painting and wrapped it with a carry strap. Suksawati is worth checking out until Guwang is reopened. We did not go into block two. Note also, that all of the streets around the market have a lot of shops especially big items like furniture and statuary.Visited October 2023Travelled with familyWritten 21 October 2023
- Wendy TPerth, Australia153 contributionsBusy market with lots to sell.Inside the market the stalls sold souvenirs, clothing etc at good prices after some bargaining. The hawkers outside were a pain - shoving things in your face and non stop hassle. It’s a big place so have an idea of what you’d like to see/buy or you could just wander around for ages without buying anything.Visited February 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 7 February 2024
- SuryaBhubaneswar, India2 contributionsGreat place to pick paintingsThis was my second trip to Sukawati market. The market has shifted to three storied building with painting exhibits in the basement. Themes are limited with focus on nature, temples and ocean. I have always admired the oil on canvas embossed work at sukawati market. Choice of colour is brilliant and to too it all, price is reasonable. Bargain hard. I got paintings 36x24” and 60x36” between IDR300k to 750k! But then i had barely an 1.5 hrs (limited time) !Visited March 2024Travelled soloWritten 10 March 2024

Certainly not the most visited market, as there was hardly anyone there when we went, but our driver took us here as he said it is much cheaper and less touristy than the Ubud market.
When we got there, there were hardly any visitors there, so it did make the sellers a little more ‘enthusiastic’ with their selling techniques. But both my 10 year old daughter and 17 year old son loved using their honed skills with bartering from the Kuta markets, on these stall holders, and these stall holders were much more eager to get down to a lower price. Prices were around $3-4 for a t-shirt, $5 for a Long dress, and $3 for a Sarong.
We would have loved to spent more time there but our 7 year old had a low tolerance for the markets unfortunately, but they were definitely the best markets we visited in Bali. Well worth travelling outside of Ubud for.

The market was a disappointment. Expected it to be an art market but in reality it was just expensive souvenirs, paintings and tie dye pants.
Walked on a parallel street and found a small Stål were I lovely woman and her husband were selling bags. Bargain is a must. Wanted us to pay 250k but finally got it for 60k.

The Sukawati market is much better and cheaper than the Ubud and Kuta markets, perhaps because not too many people know about it. We went here with the intent of just taking a look and buying a couple of souvenirs but found the items available and rates so attractive that we made 2 trips to this place during our 10 day trip.
This is the best place to buy artefacts and souvenirs and if your stay in Bali is a short one, you can do all your shopping at this place and save time by skipping the ubud and kuta markets (both of which are far more commercialised, specially kuta market, because of the far greater number of foreign tourists).
You will be overwhelmed by the number of shops and items available (not to mention the numerous hawkers who will keep following you).
A few tips:
1. Getting there can be a bit of a hassle. You might get taxi to sukawati from your hotel but it is difficult getting a taxi back. It makes more sense to hire a car (including driver) at USD 45-50 for 8 hours (you will anyway spend USD 20-25 on a taxi). A car gives you convenience and flexibility (especially if you are with your family), so you can also visit some other place after spending 4 hrs at sukaawati, and also keep all your shopping in the car. Besides, the driver will also act as a guide and give you helpful tips.
2. The best time to go here is early in the morning, when the shops open. Shopkeepers are quite desperate to make their first/ opening sale of the day (perhaps due to superstition) and so will be more willing to lower prices instead of letting you walk away.
3. Bargain hard but politely - the final price you pay can be 25-50% of the original price quoted.
4. Shops in the more inaccessible areas (back of the building/ further down the road) are more open to bargaining simply because they don't get a lot of visitors.
5. Know what you want otherwise you will end up buying a lot of stuff you don't require/ appreciate.
6. Apart from the shops, there are lots of hawkers outside who sell beautiful artefacts at prices cheaper than in shops. The only flipside is that they can be quite pushy and a lot of them are old men and women so it becomes very difficult to refuse them.
7. If you buy something from one shop/ hawker, be prepared to be surrounded by lots of hawkers pleading with you to buy from them as well. It might get irritating and you will refuse most of them, but pls don't be rude as these guys are probably desperate to make a sale and earn some money to support their families/ children.
8. If you are going with children, they might get bored and not let you look around, so it is best to buy the some eatables or toy to keep them occupied. The hawkers are also not above keeping a toy directly in a child's hands, and then refuse to bargain, leaving you with no option other than to buy at their price.
9. There are not too many restaurants around, so carry food and drinks.
Lastly, and most importantly, please be considerate while bargaining. If it seems like a good price to you, please don't try to pull them down to the last possible cent. You will only save a few dollars overall but for them, it might mean a square meal for their families and children.

What to buy:
The Sukawati market is bigger than the popular market in Ubud and has a lot of the same goods (and more) at a cheaper price. You can also place orders for goods in bulk, or for goods made to order here. Sarongs, clothing, souvenirs, home decor, artwork, bedding, musical instruments, etc, etc are for sale here. Do check the quality of an item before you purchase as this can vary. On one side of the main street there is the massive market (which sprawls across a side street and along the main road) popular with tourists, and on the other side of the street is a (smaller) several story building that contains a market that is more geared towards locals with apparel and such.
Pricing:
It's impossible to say what is a fair price or how much you should bargain, but in general you can aim for at least half of the asking price, and often even less. Items are less than at the market in Ubud. Prices tend to be lower if you go early in the morning (yes, there is such a thing as a special morning price). The more you buy in one shop/stall the more you should bargain. The same item may be cheaper if you go to less commonly accessed areas of the market, like upstairs or deep in the back.
Location and how to get there:
Sukawati is located 20min south of Ubud. Besides getting a taxi or driving yourself you can also use local transport to get there. The one time I used a taxi to get there I payed Rp60, one way.
You can catch a bemo (a small, open minibus) in front of the Ubud market. The different colors signify different destinations, and you want to catch a brown one to Sukawati. Be aware the trip takes longer than 20min if you use a bemo as it will make stops along the way and may not leave until it's full enough to make the trip worth it to the driver. One should normally not bargain for a fare when taking a bemo, but drivers often ask tourists to do so. I pay Rp10 to Sukawati, which is more than a local would pay but still cheap and doesn't prompt a discussion. Bemos are more frequent earlier in the day so if you plan to take a bemo try to go early. While getting back to Ubud catch a bemo on the main road, or in the back of the market where you likely where dropped off. Again, do note that bemos are less frequent in the afternoon and stop going after 4pm so again try to leave early and beware that you might have to wait a while for a bemo back to Ubud. You will also be approached by people at the market who offers to drive you back to Ubud, and you may be able to commission a bemo to just take you straight to Ubud.
Facilities:
There are a number of small restaurants (warungs) along the main road in front of the market where you can have a simple lunch. There is also a Circle K convenience store next to the warungs. There is a public bathroom in the market, but I would recommend using the one at Circle K.

This a big art market about 15km from Ubud. The retail portion is in two large buildings and when we were there in the off season they didn’t really open until about 10am. No problem because separating the two building is a street that for about 500 m, comprises the wholesale market and opens before 8 am. This is a true Asian style market, crowded, cramped, cluttered, airless and a bit dirty. There is an endless array of merchandise from small souvenirs to pseudo antiques. All can perhaps be had at really good prices if you are on your toes. Negotiate, negotiate, and negotiate. A few of the shops way in the back of the wholesale area are actually fixed price, but cheap.
Yes, you might save a little over the Ubud or Kuta markets, but getting there and away could be costly. If you are put off by crowded funky markets, and funky toilets-don’t come. If you love the adventure of sifting through endless shops, haggling with friendly sales folks, and maybe find a treasure, this is for you. Just across the main road is the local market which can be fun to check out, especially for clothing. This area affords many photo ops. There are several restaurants over the main road to the left, but none looked appetizing.

Since the modernization of Ubud market, Sukawati is better value and a bit more traditional in feel.
When you get dropped of at the main town square / car park, facing north there is a street to the left which has stalls with clothing, paintings and wood carvings, etc. To the right of the square is a locals food market, very traditional in some parts, not for those with a weak constitution.
Around the square a few buildings with more stalls inside.
In general start your haggling at a quarter to a third of the asking price, you will find in most cases you will get goods for a third to half of the original price. Don't be afraid to walk away, in most cases the stall holder will come back to you with a better price.
With framed paintings be careful bringing them back to Australia as Customs will inspect the wooden frames very closely as the wood can have pests inside.
Best to inspect very closely or ask the stall holder to remove the frame and roll up the painting. They will do this free of charge when you have purchased. Take a small tape measure with you so you can measure the original frame.
With wooden carvings, have a good look at the back or underneath, you may see a number in very small hand writing, this is the rough "reserve" price and will give you a good ball park figure as to what you should pay. For example 150 means 150,000 rupiah or $15, even though the opening asking price was maybe 3 times that.

The place sells the usual shirts and bags you see in most of Bali's markets (the artwork didn't really interest me because it's near impossible to bring back home). Prepare to be hassled tremendously. Once I said no thank you in Indonesian and they realised I could speak Indonesian one lady selling jewellery gave me her life story about how she started making necklaces for a living to leave her abusive husband... Apart from the guilt trip, if you correctly haggle the prices are the lowest in all of Bali. Got a singlet for 25,000rp whereas the starting price in other places was 80,000rp. Whoop!

I read about these markets on Trip Advisor so asked my driver to drop in on our way home from Zoo. My driver was surprised had not really been there much she ended up ringing her brother who runs a business to say he should buy from here as much cheaper prices than in Kuta etc. Prices were amazing, stall holders were pleasant not pushy, huge variety of stuff. Highly Reccommend you visit these Markets. One regret I didn't buy that king size quilt for AU $35.

2. How far/long from Ubud, or Sanur? Which is closer?

Are there "taxis" (car/driver) there to get back to Ubud. We want to go there by taxi from Ubud, but don't want to pay driver to wait, as we don't know how long we stay. Would like to be able to get a car back to Ubud.
Written 30 August 2015
I'm going to answer my own question because we have come back from our trip, for others reference. We ended up hiring a car/driver for the day and combined the trip with some other sights. I did not want to have to pay a driver for a full day but that's probably the best option. When in Ubud we found car/drivers to be extremely expensive for a short trip, (60,000 for 2.5 km-yikes!) so, car there, and car back could be same as a day rate, and we really did not see what looked like car/driver or taxi that could have brought us back. Before you rush to Sukawati read my review. Car/driver for a 10 hr day in Ubud area should cost IDR 500-550,000.
