Balinese Coffee Plantations are a popular tourist activity where you can see how coffee has been traditionally produced on the island. Don’t expect to see a true plantation where acres of coffee beans are grown for export. Rather, a “Coffee Plantation” in Bali usually refers to a tourist activity where you learn about the history of coffee production on the island, and get to taste different beans and preparation styles. It’s loads of fun if you’re a coffee fan, and the coffee farms are also one of the best places to buy souvenirs to bring back home.

The Best Balinese Coffee Plantations To Visit from Ubud

✔️ Satria Agrowisata 2

This coffee plantation doesn’t have the best reviews – and for a good reason! It’s not really a plantation, Satria doesn’t grow the coffee they serve there, it’s more of a small agricultural museum and gift shop.  Also… the free coffee and tea tasting they serve is really sweet. 

The reason I am recommending Satria is that it’s located within Ubud, while other coffee plantations are a 20-30-minute drive outside of Ubud, and Satria is 100% free to visit. The short tour of the Satria Balinese Coffee Plantation, the small museum on how coffee is made, and the dozen tasting beverages they provide are 100% free. Satria only makes money if you decide you like the coffee from the tasting enough to purchase a full cup or buy something from their gift shop.I f you’re on an extreme budget and need a free thing to do in Ubud, Satria is a fun stop! 

✔️ Bali Pulina 

Bali Pulina charges a 100K Indonesian Rupiah ($7) entrance fee for their plantation, but it includes a tour, coffee tasting, and a free snack which makes it well worth it. Located 20 minutes outside of Ubud, you can take in gorgeous views of the Balinese countryside from their cafe, which has a lovely viewpoint.  

✔️ OKA Agriculture Bali 

OKA is a half-hour drive from Ubud, which makes it the most remote on this list, but OKA Agriculture has the best views and is 100% free to visit, which makes it well worth the trip! The OKA complex is set up like a giant tree house and is definitely my favorite plantation on this list. (Sorry I don’t have a good photo!)

✔️ Alas Harum

Alas Harum Agrotourism is a day club/restaurant / all-in-one activity in the Tegallalang region of Ubud. Alas Harum has a bunch of different activities like ziplining, pools, rice terrace, photo spots, high swings, and their Kopi Luwak Coffee museum. While there’s the most to do at Alas Harum, it’s also the most expensive. To enter the complex you need to pay a 50K IDR entrance fee ($3.50) and coffee tasting is 118K ($8) on top of the entrance fee. If you would like to try their Kopi Luwak coffee, it’s another 118K per cup.

✔️ Seniman Coffee Studio & Ubud Coffee Roastery

Although not a coffee plantation, I would recommend this coffee shop in Ubud to anyone who wants to experience the best of Indonesian coffee but doesn’t have time to make a day trip to a coffee plantation. Seniman Coffee Studio and Ubud Coffee Roastery are artisan coffee shops in Ubud Center. You can come here to sample local brews, as well as buy coffee beans from all over Indonesia grown on the islands of Sumatra, Java, Flores, etc.

4 Reasons You Should Take A Coffee Plantation Tour In Bali 

1. Stunning views 

While most people associate Bali with the beach, coffee plantations in Bali are mainly located around the mountainous region of Ubud. The further up north you go, the higher the altitude of the coffee plantation. The views from these high-up plantations are usually stunning expanses of greenery, the absolutely perfect view to enjoy while sampling fresh Balinese coffee.

2. Learn About Balinese Agriculture & Cultural Practices

The history of coffee in Indonesia goes all the way back to colonial rule when the Dutch brought coffee beans to the island nation from Yemen in the 1600s. Since then, coffee has played an integral role in the Indonesian economy and agriculture. Recently, Indonesia was the 4th largest producer of coffee in the whole world! You can learn about Balinese coffee agriculture, as well as some of their historical practices like Kopi Luwak Coffee, which is a special Indonesian coffee made from the excrement of the Asian Palm Civet. 

3. Buy The Perfect Souvenir From Your Trip To Bali

Coffee makes the perfect souvenir from a trip to Bali since it’s portable, won’t perish, and will make your suitcase smell fantastic! 

4. Try Some Of The Best Coffee In The World! 

Bali is known for coffee tourism because Indonesia has some of the best beans in the world.

  1. Could you please post at least one photo showing an actual plantation on Bali – like showing some hundred coffee bushes one close to another?

      Hi Rudi, “Coffee Plantation” is the name of a common tourism attraction in Bali that they have all over the island which takes you through the process of how they process coffee beans historically, and provides samples of locally grown coffee and chocolate. Usually there will be coffee and cocoa trees you can see as part of the process, but it’s not where the beans are being grown en-masse for export.

      I know Munduk Moding Plantation & Resort actually grows some coffee beans on site, along with a variety of other produce, but a lot of these Balinese “plantations” include samplers of different beans from all over Indonesia. For example, you can try a Sumatra coffee bean blend, and Java blend, which are different islands in Indonesia, along with a Kintamani blend, which are beans grown in Bali in an area East of Ubud.
