Love Anchor Canggu

Overrated bazaar cos there’s nothing much to see. The bizarre is really small. The stalls all sell the same types of souvenirs which is kinda boring. The only thing I like about Love Anchor Canggu is the ventilation. It’s airy and not stuffy like most bazaars.

Visited Love Anchor Market and it was a fun stop while exploring the area. They had a wide variety of items, many similar to what you’ll find at other markets in Bali. There’s a lot to browse, but nothing particularly unique or special stood out to us. Still, it’s a good spot to check out if you’re nearby and in the mood to shop or look around.

Great little market to pick up jewellery, sandals, T-shirts, caps etc. Lovely and friendly people. ALWAYS negotiate the price, especially if you are buying more than 1 item. The boutique shops at the front are quite expensive so better to go to all the different stalls!

Feel free to drop by, not much variety. Mostly souvenirs and accessories inside. Most of the shops sells the same thing except for the store near the entrance which sells affordable clothes compared to nearby. Extremely humid now though, in this time of the month. The interior lacks ventilation.

Decent, but Not Worth the Hype When I visited Love Anchor, I didn’t find it to be as exciting or unique as the hype suggests. Most of the shops in Love Anchor carried items you'd typically find in street stores around Bali—souvenirs, clothing, accessories, and trinkets. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much that stood out as being particularly special or different from what you’d find at local markets, so it didn’t feel worth the hype. If you’re looking for something unique or high-quality, you might be a bit disappointed. It was a bit busier than expected, especially during peak hours, which made the experience feel a little overwhelming. It’s definitely a bustling place, so if you’re hoping for a more relaxed shopping trip, this may not be the best choice. One downside I couldn’t ignore was the pressure from the salespeople. While I understand that upselling is part of the shopping culture, the level of persistence was a bit much at times. It made browsing feel uncomfortable and rushed, and I found myself just wanting to leave certain stores rather than enjoy the experience. While it’s a decent stop if you want a standard shopping experience, there isn’t much that sets it apart from other local markets and street stores. If you’re looking for something special or less crowded, there might be better options nearby.

The atmosphere is really nice — it feels like a real bazaar. But you can find much better quality for much cheaper in Turkey. I wanted to buy a necklace as a souvenir, but it cost around 750 TL and definitely wasn’t worth the price. If you’re planning to buy gifts, I wouldn’t recommend coming here. It’s definitely a place where you can bargain, but even the lowest prices are still incredibly expensive. Go for the experience and to look around, but don’t shop. You’ll find better deals in other tourist spots you visit. If you’re going to Ubud, I recommend buying your souvenirs there. In Canggu, they’re very used to tourists, the people are very nice but everything is extremely overpriced.

A popular one-stop spot with plenty of stalls and shops to browse — great if you don’t have time to walk around town. There’s a wide variety to choose from, but be prepared: prices are quite high. You can usually negotiate with the vendors (don’t be shy to go for 50–80% off), but the official store prices are steep. Surprisingly, even beach club boutiques offer much better deals. 💡 Go for the browsing experience, but bargain hard — and skip the official shops unless you're really in love with something. 💰 Expensive overall, but worth a quick visit for souvenirs or gifts.

The items here definitely looked a bit higher in quality compared to those in Ubud. However, the variety was lacking, and most of all, the prices were extremely inflated. For items of the same quality as those sold in Ubud, you would have to pay at least three to four times more here. Because of the inflated pricing, the vendors here are unwilling to sell at lower prices. The pricing just doesn’t make sense at all. That said, the overall market is nicely decorated, and the items are neatly arranged, making it a more pleasant environment for shopping. If you’re not planning to visit other places other than Canggu and don’t mind paying more, I would recommend coming here.
