Can You Use Tap Water in Bali? The Truth About Washing Up as a Family
“How do you wash up in Bali with the whole water situation?!” We get this question at least once a week — and here’s the honest answer: Yes, I wash up using Bali tap water! Hot, sudsy, and I make sure everything is dried properly. I’ve never worried about it and we’ve never had an issue. Drinking it though? That’s a solid no — we only use bottled water for drinking and brushing teeth! #BaliFamilyFinds #BaliTravelTips #LivingInBali #BaliWithKids #TapWaterInBali #BaliHacks #chadandmiaofficial #onthisday
"How do you wash up in Bali with the whole water situation?!" If you're planning a family trip to Bali, this is probably a question on your list—and truthfully, we get asked it all the time!
Here's the honest scoop from a family living the Bali life: Yes, we do use Bali’s tap water for washing up—dishes, hands, even bath time. At home, we use hot water with plenty of suds, scrub everything well, and make sure it all gets dried properly. We've had zero issues, and it’s been just fine for day-to-day cleaning jobs around the house.
Where we draw the line? Drinking water and brushing teeth. That’s a solid no for tap water. We always use bottled or filtered water for drinking and oral hygiene—for us and especially for the kids. Most villas, hotels, and rentals have water dispensers or provide safe bottled water, so it's easy and convenient.
If you're visiting Bali with little ones in tow, don’t stress. Washing up with tap water is totally manageable—and common—just follow smart precautions. And remember: hand sanitizer and bottled water are your best friends when you're out exploring beaches or visiting local warungs.
Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or it's your family's first Bali adventure, understanding how to stay healthy means more time enjoying waterfalls and less time worrying over water.
