Carrefour Bali. Updated 2018.

• An air-conditioned supermarket shopping experience in Bali away from the hagglers and street markets?  Tick.
• All the must-buy Balinese hair care products at bargain prices? Tick.
• Live turtles and pet fish for your tank? Tick.

Yes, this supermarket is big, and it’s a jam-packed, with quirky surprises in every corner.

Carrefour Bali has all this and plenty more!

The Carrefour Bali supermarket on Sunset Road in Kuta is a GIANT warehouse-style Balinese supermarket that you shouldn’t miss, even just for the experience of walking round and checking out all the things you can buy.

It’s up there in best supermarket adventures we’ve ever had!

The Carrefour supermarket is part of a chain that boasts being the world’s second-largest retailer and the largest in Europe.

Carrefour Bali Shopping – a mix of supermarket and variety store

The Carrefour supermarket on Sunset Road is a combination of supermarket and variety store with all the food and things you’d find in a deli, fruit and veggie shop, toy shop, hardware store, chemist, electronics store, and beauty salon.

Carrefour is at on the 3rd floor of the shopping mall at the very top of the building.

It’s popular with expats, tourists, wealthy families from Jakarta, and a gaggle of Indonesians who love to hang about in their favourite mall.

It’s a great place to gauge Bali shopping prices too.

Shopping in Bali – Price Compare at Carrefour Bali

If you are buying electronics or anything expensive, our tip is to shop around. Make the trip to Denpasar as you might find it cheaper.

But Carrefour Bali wins for convenience, hands down.

It’s not the cheapest supermarket in Bali, (but trumps the smaller minimarts such as Circle K, Alpha Mart, Indo maret, and 7-Eleven every time) BUT their range is phenomenal and the size of shop is monstrous. Plus, Carrefour Bali stocks all the recognisable and trustworthy brands.

Check this fortnight’s Carrefour supermarket specials here before you go.

Also, if you can’t find something specific here, we can almost guarantee you won’t find it anywhere in Bali.

Visit on day one or two of your trip, then pop back on your last day in town to pick up all your last minute purchases and souvenirs.

Carrefour Shopping Mall – more than just one store

The ground floor is home to banks and food outlets including two popular American fast food chains: Wendys and A&W

The second floor has speciality stores, a cafe, a bubble tea shop, a hairdressing salon, a shoe shop, a Periplus bookshop, and a decent Indonesian food court if you are looking for a cheap lunch or early dinner.

Stop by the Amazone games arcade on your way out. $10 AUD equivalent will let you play for yonks! The cheapest games arcade we’ve ever come across, and fun.

On our last trip, we found a dress up shop selling Disney princess gowns, kids suitcases, and backpacks. We bought quality Superman and Batman pyjamas made from durable cotton for $10 each pair!
