Within an hour of landing, you can be taking the drop on some of the incredible waves that hit the southern coast.

Bali is an island that I keep revisiting as there is always so much more to see. The scenery is spectacular and there is a lot of opportunity for being active whether you dive, raft, zip-line, cycle or even hike to the summit of an active volcano. The traditional Balinese gentle culture is prevalent on the island and especially in the east, which remains fairly untouched by tourism. For nice restaurants, bars and boutiques it’s wonderful to spend a couple of days in Seminyak. And I haven’t even started on the beaches…

Where to go
Seminyak
Bright fabrics flutter gently in the breeze while inviting waves lap the soft grey sands of Seminyak’s beaches. This resort area on the island’s west coast just north of Kuta, is Bali’s most stylish beach locale.
Discover moreUbud
With lush greenery and steep rice terraces that flank the soaring banks of the Ayung River, Ubud is one of Bali‘s most scenic and relaxed destinations. It is also peppered with the island’s most important holy sites, temples and artisan workshops.
Discover moreManggis
Spectacularly located between the striking Mount Agung and the serene Lombok Strait, Manggis offers a slower, more traditional stride on Bali’s eastern shores.
Discover moreJimbaran
On the western side of the Bukit Peninsula, Jimbaran blends its working fishing village atmosphere with a collection of exclusive and tasteful hotels. Almost like a more chilled version of Seminyak, it boasts some of Bali’s most beautiful sandy beaches and calm, clear waters for swimming.
Discover moreNusa Dua
Set on Bali’s south-eastern coast, 40 minutes from Denpasar airport, Nusa Dua is a private enclave where you find some of Bali’s best hotels that line white sandy beaches.
Discover moreCanggu
Nestled between Tanah Lot and Seminyak on Bali‘s southern coast, Canggu is all about the laidback vibes. Its black sand beaches are popular with surfers but even if you’re not looking to ride the waves, the epic sunsets are reason enough the visit.
Discover morePemuteran & West Bali National Park
Sitting on the far north western coast near Java, Pemuteran is a quiet bay of black sand beaches, a small village and a wild backdrop of dramatic mountain scenery.
Discover moreLovina
On the northern coast just west of the city of Singaraja, Lovina is a 12-kilometre stretch of low-key black sandy beaches and calm waters for swimming.
Discover moreUluwatu
Home to a dreamy white sandy coastline and the spectacular Uluwatu Temple, this quiet southern part of Bali offers something for beach lovers and culture enthusiasts alike.
Discover moreSidemen
Located just inland from Bali’s eastern coastline, to the south of the dramatic and imposing Mount Agung, Sidemen is truly one of Bali’s hidden treasures. Blessed by a peaceful and picturesque character, defined by the likes of rolling rice fields dotted with attractive temples, Sidemen is a far cry from the more vibrant and developed Balinese coastline, providing something of a rejuvenating escape after days by the beach.
