Is Water Safe to Drink?
Tap water in Bali is of questionable quality and not considered safe for drinking. Stick to bottled or filtered water. Most restaurants have either bottled or filtered water, but be sure to ask if you are in doubt. Ice is considered safe and is quality-controlled by the local government.
If you are at a small local restaurant (warung), be sure to ask about the origin of water or ice if you have concerns. Sanitation in restaurants has greatly improved in recent years, but it is best to be sure if you want to avoid a case of “Bali Belly”. Wash produce in filtered, bottled, or boiled water.
