Solo, Sassy & Leading the Pack: Bali for the Single Woman Traveller
If you’re a single woman thinking about leading a group trip to Bali, let me just say—go for it! Bali is safe, stunning, and full of surprises. I’ve done it, and here’s everything I wish I’d known before I packed my bags and rounded up my gang.
Safety First, Fun Always
Bali is one of the safest places for solo women travellers, but a little caution never hurts. Stick to well-lit areas at night, trust your instincts, and always keep your phone charged. The locals are friendly and helpful, and there’s a thriving community of solo women travellers you can connect with.
Where to Stay
- Seminyak: Central, lively, and full of cafes, shops, and nightlife. Perfect for groups.
- Ubud: For a more spiritual, laid-back vibe. Great for yoga, meditation, and exploring rice terraces.
- Canggu: Hip, trendy, and full of digital nomads. Lots of cool cafes and beach clubs.
Book a villa for your group—many come with private pools, breakfast, and a chef. It’s affordable, secure, and way more fun than a hotel.
Must-See Places
Uluwatu Temple: Sunset views and traditional Kecak dance performances.
Tegallalang Rice Terraces: For that iconic Bali photo.
Nusa Penida: A day trip to this island is essential for adventure and stunning beaches.
Hidden Waterfalls: Tukad Cepung and Tegenungan are my favourites.
Group Travel Hacks
- Plan: Book tours and activities in advance, especially for larger groups.
- Use Grab or Gojek: Bali’s version of Uber—safe, cheap, and reliable.
- Spa day: Bali is famous for its spas. Book a group session for some profound relaxation.
- Local SIM card: Stay connected and share your adventures in real-time.
Hidden Gems
- Sidemen Valley: Untouched, peaceful, and perfect for a day trip.
- Secret Beach in Amed: Less crowded, great for snorkelling.
- Local markets: Ubud Art Market is great for souvenirs.
Food & Nightlife
Bali caters to every taste. Indian restaurants are everywhere, but don’t miss out on local dishes like nasi campur and babi guling. For nightlife, Seminyak and Canggu have the best bars and clubs.
Empowerment & Inspiration
Leading a group as a single woman is empowering. You’ll inspire others, make lifelong friends, and create lasting memories. So, channel your inner Geet from Jab We Met—bold, adventurous, and always up for a new experience.
