Across from the impossible-to-miss Gaya Fusion gallery, on Ubud’s western perimeter, this innovative sibling doubles as both an intimate art space and world-class ceramics studio. Look for regular exhibits by international artists-in-residence, as well as tableware (which can be found at such top resorts as the Amandari and Bulgari). Those with the time and inclination can sign up for two-day classes or two-week workshops in throwing, trimming and sculpting clay. At break time, meander back to Gaya Fusion’s onsite gelateria for a range of creamy flavors, like coffee and chocolate-ginger.

For antique and contemporary Ramayana puppets hand-crafted by a true master, head into this two-room treasure trove on the grounds of Oka Kartini Bungalows. Just next door, high wood walls are lined with valuable vintage batiks from around the Indonesian archipelago. (Ask the owner to translate the complex meanings behind some of the cloth history books.) Every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday nights, come here for Wayang Kulit shadow puppet shows.

Seminyak’s one shopping street has at least three names as it snakes along the coastline but that inconsistency is part of Bali’s charm. Start across from The Legian by picking up sterling silver chopsticks and Wonder Woman style silver cuffs at Maru (Jalan Laksmana 7A, (62) 361 734 102). Pop into Paul Ropp (Jalan Raya Seminyak 39, (62) 361 734 208) for colorful, entirely original frocks made from antique sari material. The Corner Store (Jalan Laksmana 10A, (62) 361 730 276) stocks rather kooky kids’ togs, from delicious apple stamped dresses to tie-dyed concert tour tees for the family’s littlest head-bangers. Finish any ensemble with sky-high stilettos at Niluh Djelantik (Jalan Raya Kerobokan 144; (62) 361 733 074). Sari Shop (Jalan Raya Seminyak 36, 62-361-464-298) is the place to collect vintage batik sarongs. Nip around the corner to Allegra (Jalan Kunti, (62) 361 734 019) to load up on ethically farmed exotic skin accessories by homegrown talent Leyla whose oversized beach bag is the unofficial Bali Birkin. Before calling it quits, duck into Biasa (Jalan Raya Seminyak 36, (62) 361 730 308). The name means ‘nothing interesting’ but the walls are lined with attention-grabbing minimalist separates and bandeau tank tops that are beautiful but barely there.

Located in Seminyak, this boutique stocks rather whimsical kids’ togs, from delicious apple-stamped dresses to tie-dyed concert tour tees for the family’s littlest head-bangers.

Like much of Ubud, this market of handicrafts and local treasures, was further put on the map when it was featured in the film Eat, Pray, Love. In addition to the upstairs area with its wares ranging from textiles to furniture, the vegetable and fruit market in the basement is a quick education in the island’s natural bounty. Prepare to bargain.

Stop by this leafy, laid-back resort, located on the road into central Ubud. The affable Balinese owner, Gustu, keeps multiple warehouses filled with massive dining tables carved from Dutch teak logs, imported from Java, plus unusual antiques, like a wooden canoe and rice sifter carved with mythical animals from Kalimantan.

Stop at one of the many Uluwatu brand shops dotted throughout Bali for breezy resortwear and linens for the home, which are all locally hand-embroidered with Balinese lace.
