As a woman traveling anywhere in the world, there is a certain level of caution and vigilance that must be practiced to ensure safety. However, Bali is one of the most secure cities in Indonesia and is safe to explore for women in groups or alone.

There is a very low risk of theft and robbery occurring in Bali and tourists are not likely to be targets of violent crimes. Of course, tourists are still advised to take precautions to avoid falling victim to petty scams.

Like many places, the very features that are responsible for much of Bali’s beauty also pose potential risks. Indonesia is prone to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes because of its position on the ‘Pacific Ring of Fire.’ 

While these events are unlikely to happen during your stay, it is wise to read about natural disaster safety protocols before your trip.

As of 4 June 2022, Bali remains under Covid Alert Level 2. At this level, the number of positive confirmed cases of Covid-19 is between 20 and less than 50 people per 100,000 population per week. The incidence of hospitalization in the hospital is between five and less than 10 people per 100,000 population per week. The death rate from Covid-19 is less than two people per 100,000 population in the area.

To ensure the safety of travelers visiting Bali, the Indonesian government has issued certificates to tourism businesses, tourism destinations, and other tourism products to provide reassurance to visitors to the island of Bali on the implementation of Hygiene, Health, Safety, and Environmental Sustainability (CHSE).

Establishments with CHSE certificates have received training, have been vaccinated, and continue to maintain all the latest health regulations.
