A few Indonesian words to take with you 🌿
You don’t need to speak Indonesian to feel at home in Bali. But learning a few simple words can make your journey feel a little more personal.
Selamat pagi — Good morning ☀️
A lovely way to start the day.
Terima kasih — Thank you 🤍
One of the most useful words you can know.
Tolong — Please
For when you need a little help.
Permisi — Excuse me
A polite little word for passing by or getting someone’s attention.
Enak — Delicious 😋
You’ll probably find yourself using this one quite often in Bali.
Santai — Relax / take it easy 🌴
Perhaps the most important word of all.
And finally…
Sampai jumpa — See you again.
Because in Bali, sometimes the best part of a journey is knowing you’ll want to come back.
At The Mahalani, we believe in slowing down, enjoying the moment, and letting the island work its magic.
Selamat datang — welcome to Bali. 🌺
Can’t wait until you get here!
