Instead of settling for generic postcards and fridge magnets, head to Murni’s Warung Shop to purchase items unique to Bali and bring them back as gifts for friends and family. You don’t even have to go out of your way to find it, as you can simply stop by after having lunch at the restaurant. A purveyor of Balinese and Asian art, Murni’s own collection is displayed all around the hotel property in the form of sculptures and wall art. At the gift shop, you can purchase a number of quality items, including Asian antiques, Balinese puppets, rattan handbags, handmade fans, and ethnic jewellery. During your visit, you might even run into Murni herself, as she’s known to spend time either at the shop or the restaurant. From handpainted batik cards to authentic gold pieces, this is a great place to get your shopping done while visiting Ubud.

Murni’s in Bali
Murni was the first person to have a proper gallery of antiques, textiles, costumes, old beads, tribal jewelry, stone carvings, masks and other ethnic pieces in Ubud. She started her shop at the same time as her famous restaurant, Murni’s Warung, overlooking the Campuan River in 1974. She is Balinese and understands Balinese culture thoroughly.
Her sources are the best and she is still the first person that dealers generally visit when they come to Bali from the other islands in Indonesia. Murni travels extensively collecting unique treasures from as far afield as Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Burma, China and Laos. Those she doesn’t keep herself find their way into her shop. Many of her pieces are museum quality but she also has reproductions to suit every budget.
Part of the pleasure is to meet Murni herself and chat about her lifetime of collecting. Her Villas and restaurant are decorated with items from her personal collection.

Ubud is the cultural and artistic center of Bali and many of the finest works of craftsmanship turn up at Murni’s Warung Shop, right beside and part of her restaurant, Murni’s Warung, and Murni’s Houses Shop, in her boutique hotel, Murni’s Houses & Spa.
Murni was one of the first to have a proper gallery of Asian antiques and tribal art in Ubud, Bali. She started her shop at the same time as her famous restaurant in 1974.
Murni travels extensively in Asia, searching out rare and unusual pieces. Her sources are the best and many of her pieces are museum quality.
But whether they are commissioned pieces or objects from Murni’s private collection, you’ll marvel at the variety you’ll find in her shop.
Murni spends most of her time in her restaurant and Murni’s Warung Shop, where the best pieces are.
As you can see, there are really too many things to describe, especially as they constantly change.
