Being gay in bali

Is Bali Gay Friendly? Bali is a gay-friendly destination, especially in tourist areas like Ubud, Seminyak, Kuta, Uluwatu and Canggu. The locals’ welcoming nature makes LGBTQIA+ travellers feel at ease. But LGBTQIA+ couples travelling to Bali need to be cautious and should know their rights before travelling.

LGBTQIA+ rights in Bali As a mostly Muslim country, Indonesia's culture is quite conservative. Although homosexuality is legal in most parts of the country, there is still political tension and revisions to the country's criminal code are currently being considered, which could potentially criminalize gay sex and same-sex relationships.
