峇里島人是由多種南島移民,於約西元前2500年的史前代混血所組成。一般相信,大約在西元前300年時的青銅器時,峇里島己有非常進步的文化;現在仍在使用的農田灌溉組織,和灌溉系統就是沿襲自當時。雖然考古發現大約西元一世紀的印度教遺物,但在十一世紀以前,佛教的影響多於印度教。西元670年,中國唐朝義淨和尚也曾提到,在他往印度取經的路程中,曾到過一個佛教國家「峇里」。大約西元十世紀時,印度文明影響全東南亞,經過爪哇島傳入峇里島,提供後來峇里文學、藝術、社會組織,和政治的雛形。

十三世紀時,信奉印度教的爪哇人開始統治峇里;西元1515年伊 斯蘭教(回教)入侵爪哇,促使了大批印度教的僧侶、貴族、軍人、工匠,和藝術家逃亡峇里,造成十六世紀峇里的黃金時代。也就在這個時候,來自歐洲的白人開 始拜訪峇里。在荷蘭探險家們的形容中,峇里異教徒的神祕色彩、富足的主會文化和溫暖的氣候,令荷蘭人既好奇又心動,幻想著只要將荷蘭的文明和商業帶進峇 里,就可以引導峇里人走向更美未來。西元1908年,荷蘭的國旗終於插遍了全印尼和峇里島,峇里的貴族們在幾次為尊嚴而自殺的普普坦儀式中,結束了貴族統治的時代。
荷蘭人統治了峇里34年,接著在二次大戰時日本人又占據了三年;直到西元1949年,在聯合國的干?下,荷蘭才退出印尼,島民溫和的峇里,自然成為獨立後印尼的一省。
