Bali is a fairly safe place for females but you must of course take reasonable, sensible precautions.
NEVER ever tell anyone that you are travelling alone. Always tell taxi drivers, restaurant waiters, shop keepers etc that your husband/friends will be meeting you soon. People always, constantly, ask - mostly as friendly curiosity. My only problem alone was from a tourist - no biggie as I was leaving that night.
