How much is a coke in Bali?

Looking for a quick sense of what a Coke costs in Bali? Prices vary widely across the island depending on where you buy it, the package size and whether you want it chilled and served. This guide gives clear, area-aware price ranges and practical tips so you can decide whether to buy single serves for convenience or larger bottles to save.

All amounts below are shown in IDR (Indonesian rupiah) and volumes in ml (milliliter) to make direct comparisons easier.

Price differences by venue and area across Bali

Prices for a Coke in Bali change noticeably depending on where you buy it and the type of venue. Tourist hubs and premium venues mark up soft drinks, while local shops and markets tend to offer the best value.

• Supermarkets and minimarkets are usually the cheapest option: a 330 ml can typically ranges from IDR 7,000 to IDR 15,000 and a 1.5 liter bottle from IDR 12,000 to IDR 25,000 depending on location and promotions.
• Local warungs and street vendors commonly charge IDR 6,000 to IDR 12,000 for a small bottle or can; in less touristy villages prices can fall to around IDR 4,000 for a chilled can.
• Cafes and mid-range restaurants in towns such as Ubud and Canggu usually list a Coke at IDR 15,000 to IDR 30,000, reflecting table service and higher operating costs.
• Beach clubs and upscale restaurants in areas like Seminyak and Nusa Dua mark prices at IDR 30,000 to IDR 60,000 for a single serving, with premium presentation and location factored in.
• Hotels and airport outlets are the most expensive: a can or small bottle often costs between IDR 35,000 and IDR 75,000 in minibars and terminal cafes.

For consistent savings, buy cans or larger bottles from a supermarket and keep them chilled at your accommodation. If you prefer convenience, local warungs are a cheaper alternative to cafes and beachfront venues, though still pricier than self-catering options.

Next, we’ll break down typical prices by size and serving so you can compare per-serving costs more easily.

Current Coca-Cola price ranges by size and serving

Below are realistic price bands for Coca-Cola across common sizes and servings in Bali. The ranges reflect typical retail and venue pricing to help with straightforward comparison and planning.

Small cans and single serve bottles 250 ml to 330 ml

In supermarkets a 250 ml or 330 ml can typically costs IDR 7,000 to IDR 15,000 depending on promotions and location. Local warungs sell the same size chilled for IDR 6,000 to IDR 12,000 while cafes and casual restaurants commonly list a single serve for IDR 15,000 to IDR 30,000.

Expect airport shops and hotel minibars to be the priciest, with cans or small bottles priced from IDR 35,000 up to IDR 75,000 when convenience and location are factored in.

500 ml bottles and glass bottle servings

A 500 ml plastic bottle in a supermarket is usually IDR 10,000 to IDR 22,000; in a warung it is often IDR 8,000 to IDR 18,000. Restaurants that serve glass bottles as a table drink will commonly charge IDR 20,000 to IDR 40,000 per bottle.

Large bottles and multipacks 1.5 liter and value packs

Large formats are the best value for multiple servings. A 1.5 liter bottle in most supermarkets ranges from IDR 12,000 to IDR 30,000 while a 2 liter bottle is usually IDR 25,000 to IDR 40,000. Multipacks of cans for take home are commonly priced from IDR 40,000 to IDR 80,000 depending on pack size and store promotions.

Overall, buying larger bottles or multipacks from supermarkets gives the lowest per-serving cost, while single serves bought at hotels or beach clubs carry the highest premiums.

With price bands in mind, the next section highlights the cheapest places to purchase Coke and how to get the best value.

Cheapest places to buy Coke including supermarkets and warungs

When you want the lowest price for a Coke in Bali, aim for self-catering options rather than dining venues. For everyday savings, buy from larger retail stores and local neighbourhood shops—these outlets offer consistent low pricing and occasional promotions that make a real difference over a stay.

Supermarkets and minimarkets provide the lowest per-serving cost. Expect a 330 ml can to range from IDR 7,000 to IDR 15,000 and a 1.5 liter bottle to cost between IDR 12,000 and IDR 30,000 depending on promotions and location. Buying multipacks or larger bottles cuts the price per glass substantially; most stores run weekly deals that drop a multipack into the IDR 40,000 to IDR 80,000 band.

Local warungs and pasar stalls are the practical low-cost choice for a chilled drink on the go. Prices commonly sit from IDR 4,000 to IDR 12,000 for a can or small bottle in less touristy areas. Warungs near popular beaches will be slightly higher but still cheaper than cafes. If you prefer chilled drinks immediately, look for small shops with an icebox—they often charge only a small premium for a ready-to-drink bottle.

For best value, bring a reusable cooler to keep purchases chilled at your villa. If you plan to drink several servings a day, buy a 1.5 liter bottle from a supermarket rather than single serves. Small adjustments like this frequently halve what you spend on soft drinks without sacrificing convenience or choice.

Before we explore the price drivers, note that where you stay and how you buy will influence whether convenience or cost matters more to you.

Key factors that influence drink prices in Bali

Several clear factors combine to determine what you pay for a drink in Bali. Understanding these drivers explains why the same Coca-Cola can cost very differently at a beachfront club compared with a local shop.

Location and venue type

Places with high footfall and premium views charge more to cover rent and the atmosphere they sell. Beach clubs, upscale restaurants and hotel bars in Seminyak and Nusa Dua typically set higher prices because guests expect convenience and curated service. In contrast, small warungs and neighbourhood kiosks in inland villages keep margins low to match local spending power.

Supply chain and packaging

Transport costs, packaging size and stock turnover affect shelf price. Supermarkets that buy in bulk can offer lower per-serving rates for 1.5 liter bottles and multipacks. Remote outlets and small shops that restock less frequently often add a premium to cover delivery and storage. Special packaging such as glass bottles or chilled single serves also raises the price compared with bulk plastic bottles bought for self-catering.

Service level taxes and operating costs

Staffing, licensing and local taxes all appear in the final price at dining venues. Table service, glassware and presentation add labour and cleaning costs. Airports and hotels add convenience fees and higher operating expenses which explains the very high prices seen in minibars and terminal cafes. Seasonal demand during holidays pushes prices up further when supply is constrained.

Knowing these factors lets you choose where to buy based on value or convenience: buy larger bottles from supermarkets for lowest cost, or choose a warung for a chilled instant drink while accepting a modest premium for location and service.

Now that you understand price drivers, the final section offers actionable ways to reduce what you pay for drinks on your trip.

Practical tips to reduce what you pay for drinks on your trip

Small changes in how you buy, store and plan for drinks will cut costs significantly without sacrificing comfort. Focus on where you purchase, the package size you choose, and simple habits that avoid convenience premiums. These tips are easy to apply while you explore Bali.

Plan purchases and prioritize value over instant convenience

Buy larger bottles and multipacks from supermarkets when you arrive and store them at your villa. A 1.5 liter bottle commonly costs between IDR 12,000 and IDR 30,000 which works out to roughly IDR 2,000 to IDR 5,000 per 250 ml serving—far cheaper than single cans bought at tourist venues.

Reserve warungs and cafes for moments when you want the experience of eating out rather than as your primary drink source. That keeps your daily spend predictable and often halves what you pay for soft drinks.

• Buy larger format bottles for shared use. Purchasing a 1.5 liter bottle for a group or for several meals reduces the per-serving cost and eliminates repeated single-serve purchases.
• Keep a small cooler or insulated bag on hand. Chilling drinks in your accommodation or carrying a cooled bottle prevents impulse buys of expensive chilled cans at beaches and attractions.
• Compare unit prices and watch for supermarket promotions. Look at price per liter or per can when shopping, as multipack deals and seasonal discounts can drop the cost substantially.
• Choose local warungs for a chilled single drink when you need convenience. Warungs typically charge much less than hotel bars and beach clubs while still offering a cold bottle on request.

Apply these measures together for the best savings: buy in bulk, store drinks properly, and use local outlets selectively to reduce your drink spend while keeping the convenience you want during your stay.

If you’re planning a longer stay and want the convenience of a kitchen to store your bulk purchases, consider booking a villa through https://www.balivillahub.com/en to make self-catering easier and more affordable during your trip.

With awareness of venue types, package sizes and simple shopping habits, you can enjoy Coca-Cola in Bali without paying more than necessary—choose convenience when it matters and value when you want to save.
