With the magical beaches, the blue water rides, and white and soothing waterfalls, nestled in the heart of the Indian Ocean, Bali is the ultimate place to soothe your soul with a touch of luxury. It is one of those places which will mesmerize you to the extent that going back home would feel like dropping a part of your soul in the place.
With ample places to wander around, Bali islands are fueled with breathtaking beauty around every corner. The more you explore the more you find yourself falling deeply in love with the place. This island paradise is filled with vibrant culture, delicious food, UNREAL sunsets, amazing hotels and of course, beautiful beaches.
Whether you want waterfalls, beaches, jungles, monkeys, surfing, shopping, snorkelling with manta rays, or just relaxing on a bean bag in the sand with a piña colada in hand, Bali is your paradise. The yogis will flock to zen Ubud, the beach bums to dreamy Uluwatu, and the surfers to laid-back Canggu. The spring breakers will seek out Gili T for its island nightlife and Bali honeymooners will seek out dreamy Nusa Lembongan or secluded Gili Air. The families will hang by the seaside in Seminyak, and the adventurous will conquer Nusa Penida.
Here is an ultimate guide for your Bali trip, including some of the must-try delicacies of Indonesia and places to not miss on your vacation to Bali:
1. Ubud
Ubud is a culturally rich place which is a must-visit in Bali. The Ancient temples are surrounded by lush green jungle, Adorable monkeys, and Rice paddies around every corner, Ubud is the home of the royal family’s palace, Puri Saren Agung.
Things to do in Ubud:
Tegalalang Rice Fields
The Tegalalang rice terraces and their sweeping panoramic views of lush Ubud make for a perfect Bali exploration day.
You can binge on big nasi goreng (Balinese fried rice) or mie goreng (Balinese fried noodles) with a big ice-cold coconut overlooking the rice fields. It’s a gorgeous view and there are a ton of local restaurants lining the fields. Also, make sure you carry essentials as it can get hot and humid in the fields.
Waterfalls
Go to the waterfalls in Bali, which are a must to experience the intense beauty of the Bali Islands.
Some of the best waterfalls in Bali are Tegenungan and Tibumana – which are both an easy 30-45 minute drive from central Ubud.
Get your zen on & do some yoga
Ubud is a mecca for yogis, and there are a ton of amazing yoga classes you can do in Ubud.
Attend a traditional dance at the Palace.
This was one of the highlights of our entire Bali trip! Watching a traditional Balinese dance is an amazing way to spend an evening.
Learn about the Balinese culture in Ubud
Ubud, also known as the cultural capital of Bali, is an ultimate place to cherish the art, culture and traditions of the place. You can enjoy traditional performances, from the notorious Kecak fire dance to local youths practising their gamelan in the town hall. You can catch one of these performances anywhere from the Royal Palace to restaurants and public places
Campuhan Ridge Walk
If you love running or walking then you should take the Campuhan Ridge Trek first thing in the morning, it’s also REALLY popular at sunset. It’s about an hour long and a pretty easy hike with gorgeous views.
2. Uluwatu
The land of awestruck beaches and natural beauty, Uluwatu is a place where you can enjoy some of the best beaches around. The land of surfing, Uluwatu is a must-visit place for experienced surfers.
Here are a few must-visit places:
Sundays Beach Club
Sunday's Beach Club is a part of the Ungasan hotel but you can also get a day pass to swim, eat, relax, paddleboard and enjoy their gorgeous beach and water activities. They also do fun bonfires at sunset!
Bingin Beach
Bingin Beach has unrivalled views of the Indian Ocean and fabulous waves that make it one of the most demanded surfing spots in Bali and the world. I recommend posting up at Kelly’s Warung for a perfect beach day.
Omnia Bali Dayclub
The new Omnia Bali Dayclub by Hakkasan Group is an extravagant, luxurious day club perched on the limestone cliffs of the Bukit Peninsula in Uluwatu. It’s the first adults-only day club to hit the island and features a swim-up bar, a delicious restaurant, and VIP cabanas with their glittering plunge pools. It’s the perfect place for a group of friends to spend the day.
Omnia Bali has even already started to feature world-famous DJs on certain days for parties. But, if the idea of a super rowdy pool party scares you a little bit – don’t worry – the vibe is less Las Vegas and more Saint Tropez.
Thomas beach
This locals-only “secret beach” in Uluwatu is hands down one of the most beautiful beaches you will ever go to, and a must-do on any trip to Bali.
Other places to visit in Bali
1. Visit the dolphins in Lovina.
Seeing dolphins in Bali is something that many people look forward to when they visit this beautiful island. Dolphins are intelligent and beautiful animals and a delight to watch. Lovina is the best place in Bali to see dolphins, so make sure you add a trip here to your Bali bucket list!
2. Visit Pod chocolate factory in Sanur
Indonesia is one of the biggest producers of cocoa in the world, so why not try the chocolate at its origin?
Stay at a luxury, unique Airbnb in Bali.
In Bali, you can stay in a unique, luxury Airbnb for a fraction of the price of what you’d pay anywhere else in the world. Bali accommodation is some of the most beautiful in the world, in my opinion. From treehouses, eco-lodges, surf shacks and beachfront living – if you love unique accommodation – you’re going to be in heaven in Bali.
