Maintaining good health while traveling is the most important topic! Bali, this fascinating land, is filled with incredible scenery and memorable experiences. However, as you explore this beautiful destination, remember to protect your health, as daily consumption of drinking water and food hygiene here require extra attention. If you feel unwell during your trip, the entire journey could be ruined!
The Importance of Water Quality
Tap water in Bali is not safe to drink directly! To ensure your body functions well, do not overlook the quality of drinking water. In daily life, we often neglect the importance of water, but during travel, it is the foundation of your health.
Therefore, it is recommended to choose bottled water or professionally filtered water sources. This clean water is not just a thirst-quenching liquid but also a guardian of your health. It is the first step in safeguarding your health, allowing you to confidently embark on your exploration of this beautiful land.

Beware of ‘Bali Belly’
‘Bali Belly’ is a term that sounds somewhat frightening, referring to gastrointestinal issues you might encounter in Bali, which can further lead to diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and general weakness. These symptoms can ruin your fun and affect your travel experience.
How to avoid ‘Bali Belly’? What to do if you get it? Please watch Xiao Jie’s video explanation below:
Be Careful with Ice
The “ice” mentioned in the video above, this seemingly harmless little thing, could potentially hide health risks! In Bali, the water source for ice is not always reliable. Therefore, in your drinks, choose to avoid ice or ensure it comes from a trustworthy source.
Be Careful When Brushing Your Teeth Too!
Even when brushing your teeth, pay extra attention to the quality of water. Tap water in Bali may not be suitable for brushing teeth as it could contain bacteria or other contaminants. Therefore, use bottled or filtered water for brushing and rinsing.
Recommended Bottled Water Brands
The link below recommends three major bottled water brands
If you’re traveling in Bali, it’s highly recommended to purchase bottled water from supermarkets to ensure your drinking water is safe. What are some trustworthy bottled water brands available in Bali’s supermarkets/convenience stores? What can you buy in supermarkets? Check out Jay’s “Supermarket Shopping Guide”. At accommodations, usually only two small bottles of water are provided per day, so if you need more, purchase them from supermarkets. This way, you can enjoy safe, fresh, and uncontaminated drinking water, ensuring your safety and health during your Bali trip.
A reader’s painful experience: ➡️ “Now I’m reporting back on the situation, last night in Bali I started having diarrhea, the kind that’s watery and comes out in a spray. Around 8 AM, I went to a pharmacy near the hotel and bought Entrostop, took about 6 pills in total, but it still didn’t stop. Later, I switched to imodium loperamide, took only two pills and it stopped.
It seems these two medications should be chosen based on the severity of diarrhea: Entrostop may only be suitable for mild, ordinary diarrhea, priced at 10,000 IDR per pack; imodium loperamide is more appropriate for acute diarrhea, the kind where you’re passing watery stools, priced at 108,000 IDR per pack, which is 10 times the cost of Entrostop. Thanks again to Xiao Jie for the recommendation!
