From fashion and tech to homeware and beauty, it’s all under one very stylish roof. Plus, the vibe is refreshingly local—think pop-up markets, family-friendly events, and plenty of spots to relax with a coffee or snack.
Whether you’re a visitor on the hunt for a new outfit, a remote worker scouting out a cozy café, or a local looking for weekend plans, Living World hits the mark. It’s no surprise that it’s quickly gaining a rep as one of the best shopping malls in Bali.
What is Living World Denpasar?
Living World Denpasar is a sprawling lifestyle mall and retail center that opened in March 2023 in Bali’s bustling capital city, Denpasar. Developed by Kawan Lama Group and operated under the Living World brand (which already boasts several major locations in Indonesia), this mall brings a fresh, modern twist to Denpasar’s shopping scene.
Unlike traditional malls, Living World Denpasar isn’t just a place to pick up a new pair of shoes or air-con hop between coffee shops. It’s built around the concept of “Home Living, Lifestyle, and Eat-ertainment,” meaning the goal here is to offer something for everyone—from furniture shopping and electronics to rooftop hangouts, art events, and international cuisine.
Locals come here for weekend outings, families bring their kids for some indoor fun, and travelers? Well, they come for the air-conditioning, yes, but stay for the surprisingly rich shopping and culinary experience that competes with anything you’d find in Seminyak or Kuta.
Living World Denpasar Location
Conveniently located on Gatot Subroto Timur, one of Denpasar’s major roadways, Living World Denpasar is easily accessible whether you’re coming from Ubud, Canggu, or even Sanur. It’s situated just far enough from the traffic jams of downtown Denpasar to feel manageable, but close enough to remain central to city life.
A major selling point of the location is how it bridges the lifestyle gap between locals and tourists. This isn’t a resort-area mall designed solely for Western visitors. Living World Denpasar is a melting pot—where you’ll spot teens filming TikToks next to business professionals grabbing a weekday lunch, all while Indonesian families browse furniture stores for their new villa project.
Pro tip for tourists: If you’re staying in Ubud or Canggu, get yourself a private car and driver for the day to do some shopping and whatever else you have in mind. Just don’t try to come during heavy traffic hours unless you’re in the mood for a very slow tour of Denpasar’s bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Exploring Living World Denpasar
Living World Denpasar isn’t your typical mall—it’s more like a modern playground for grown-ups (and kids too), where shopping, leisure, food, and culture come together in a beautifully designed space. Whether you’re visiting for an hour or making a day of it, here’s what you’ll find as you explore:
The Mall
At its core, Living World is a sprawling lifestyle mall packed with everything from global fashion brands to popular Indonesian household names. Think places like H&M, Uniqlo, Informa, AZKO , and the beautifully curated Pendopo, which supports Indonesian MSMEs.
The open, airy design to all three shopping floors gives it a fresh, community-centered feel, with leafy courtyads and indoor-outdoor blends that make your visit feel like a stroll through a Bali resort.
Amphitheater
Near the scooter parking area on the ground floor, you’ll find a massive Amphitheater. This is an open-air stage that brings local culture to life. It regularly hosts Balinese dance performances, must acts, fashion shows, and family entertainment.
Whether you’re catching a traditional kecak performance or a modern band, the amphitheater is where the mall comes alive—especially at night, when the lights, sounds, and energy are buzzing. The best part is…these events are completely free!
Rooftop Garden
Most malls give you a food court – Living World Denpasar gives you a rooftop experience. This elevated space isn’t just for dining, though the food stalls here are legit. It’s designed as a community space, complete with seating areas, greenery, and city views. It’s a great spot to catch the sunset.
Food Village
Craving variety? Food Village is the mall’s main food court. Whether you’re into crispy fried chicken, spicy sambal dishes, Korean BBQ, or a sweet bubble tea, Food Village covers all cravings. It’s casual, convenient, and air-conditioned—ideal for groups with mixed tastes.
Nusantara Market
Now this is where things get extra local. The Nusantara Market is a celebration of Indonesia’s culinary and craft diversity. Here you’ll find vendors selling traditional snacks, regional delicacies, and handmade goods from across the archipelago. It’s like a road trip through Indonesia—without ever leaving Denpasar.
Festive Market
This is an outdoor space that changes with the seasons. From Christmas lights to Ramadhan treats, the Festive Market keeps the mall fresh and fun. There are also tons of food vendors selling trendy food here.
Jogging Track
Yes, there’s a jogging track! The jogging track runs along the side of the mall parallel to the river. It’s a wonderful track to burn some calories while in nature. This part of the mall is very quiet so you shouldn’t have any problems running into people.
Communal Stairs
Yes, stairs made the list – but for good reason. The Communal Stairs at Living World is designed as a casual hangout spot. Wide, open, and styled like stadium seating, it’s common to see people lounging here with coffee or just chilling with friends.
Funworld
Funworld at Living World Denpasar is a bright, buzzing arcade where kids and grown-ups can dive into classic games, prize machines, and race car simulators. It’s clean, air-conditioned, and perfect for a quick, fun break while shopping—just load up a Funworld card and let the games (and ticket hoarding) begin!
Cinema XXI
Cinema XXI at Living World Denpasar is where you swap shopping bags for popcorn and chill out in plush seats with a giant screen in front of you. It’s modern, comfy, and air-conditioned like a dream—perfect for catching the latest blockbuster or hiding from Bali’s midday heat in style.
Facilities
The layout of the mall is well thought out, with convenience and logic in mind. There is 2 underground floors dedicated to car parking, and an entire building dedicated to scooter parking (but good luck finding parking on weekends because it gets packed!)
There are multiple modern toilet and washroom facilities on every floor, escalators – yes, the mall is wheelchair-friendly.
Shopping at Living World Denpasar

Some of the main shopping categories include:

- Electronics and Gadgets: Need a new phone case, power bank, or maybe just want to test-drive the latest Samsung Galaxy in a freezing-cold showroom? There are several electronics shops and mobile service providers on-site too.
The best part? It’s not overwhelmingly massive like some Jakarta malls, so you can actually see it all without needing a personal GPS system or two days off.
Events at Living World Denpasar
Living World Denpasar isn’t just about shopping and eating—it also has a growing reputation for hosting events and community activities. Since its opening, the mall has organized everything from fashion shows and cooking demos to art exhibitions and youth dance competitions.
There’s a central amphitheater where seasonal events (like Christmas markets or Lunar New Year celebrations) are held, often complete with elaborate decorations and live performances. It’s a big draw for families and definitely adds life to your average mall stroll.
For travelers lucky enough to stumble in during an event, you might catch a local cultural showcase or an interactive art installation. It’s a subtle but meaningful way the mall ties into Indonesian identity—without making it feel like a theme park.
