preview

Skip to contentSome say that Bali is overrated, too touristy, and not worth a visit, while some say it is one of the best experiences in their travels in Indonesia. I guess it all depends on how you want to enjoy Bali. With so many places of interest and beautiful beaches, Bali will still delight you.Regardless, as time passes and places may have grown, Bali is still what it is. If you can look past the many tourists, especially during the peak season, and enjoy the many attractions dotted around catered explicitly for tourists, you might fall in love with Bali.Bali deserves the attention it is still getting, and our top 10 must-visit places list is enough to show why you should not give Bali a miss!See: Best Accommodations in BaliUluwatu Temple, a must-visit in Bali, is also known as Pura Luhur. Imagine a large rugged limestone cliff with a temple perched on it; to add to its dramatic grandeur, it is like a scene from Cliffhanger.It is situated in Bukit Peninsula, which houses Bali’s few best beaches like Balangan, Padang-Padang, and Nyang-Nyang, as well as many good surfing spots. The temple is a majestic structure constructed and expanded many times since the 11th century. It is perched on a cliff of 70 meters above the Indian Ocean. If you go on even higher grounds, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view on either side and a sunset over the Uluwatu temple itself.Uluwatu Temple, Pura Luhur at Bali.

It is most famous for its serenity and cultural significance as it is associated with Balinese mythology as one of the seven temples that form a ring in the southwest of Bali. A travel tip is to visit the place during the low tide so that you can “walk across the water” to the temple for the whole experience.Pura Tanah Lot, Bali. Photo by Kevin PohPura Ulun Danu Bratan is another must-visit temple in Bali; this one is serenely resting at the edge of Lake Bratan, unlike the rest that perches on rocky cliffs. Imagine a beautifully structured temple with its image reflected on the clear lake doubling its beauty.Temple by the lake at Bali. Photo by Rud GlaznSee Where to Stay in BaliAnother thing to see in Bali is the dolphins! Lovina is one of the best places in Bali to go on a dolphin sightseeing boat trip. . You will leave the beach at dawn. Yes, it may be pretty crowded with other tourists trying to do the same, especially during peak season; it is especially worth it when you find a school of dolphins happily jumping out of the sea.Lovina also offers many other attractions and activities and even boasts backpacker scenes where you can chill out in cafes with live music.Lady selling flowers at the Market at Ubud, Bali. Photo by David StanleyDespite that, one might be trying to escape the “eat, pray, love” trail; Ubud is one place you cannot miss during your visit. Bali’s heart is where all the action, people, and energy are focused. Ubud is packed with the best of Bali: nature, culture, people, temples, museums, rolling rice fields/paddy fields, human-made gardens, and parks.You may take *, enroll in a , do adventure activities like whitewater rafting * and abseiling, relax with yoga */meditation, get pampered spa sessions *, immerse in the arts and theatres, and last but not least, the shopping. As you see, Ubud has a little bit of everything for the discerning traveler.Rice fields terraces at Tegalalang.

You can be sure to find a range of places with different atmospheres and budgets, ranging from Hard Rock Cafe to your neighborhood cafe and pub.-&gt; Kuta Beach is also great for some surfing experience *.&nbsp;Party at Kuta Beach, Bali. Photo by rizaWe had two temples on the cliff, and now we get to drink off a bar perched on yet another cliff at Ayana bar resort * in Bali. This bar is the best in Bali, with long lines of people trying to get in daily for a drink or some bites while overlooking the sea crashing into the rocks below. The bites at this incredibly popular bar are surprisingly good. Imagine the combination of drinking, chilling, and dancing atop a cliff with the roaring sea stretching behind you to infinity while you watch white water crashing onto the side of the wall creating a spectacular natural show. If you decide which is the one bar you must go to in Bali, Ayana bar on the rocks is the place. You may get special access to the bar as a guest of Ayana Resort and Spa or RIMBA Jimbaran by Ayana *.Bar on rocks at Ayana, Bali.

You will be rewarded with pristine private beaches to slowly soak in the sun and the sea. Nusa Dua is also ideal for couples on honeymoon in Bali or people looking for a private and relaxing getaway.Private Beach @ Nusa Dua, Bali.

A climb to this active volcano’s summit (1700 meters) is an excellent experience for any active travelers and a place of interest that is not to be missed.Many would do the sunrise hike for an ultimate experience, starting as early as 4 am to reach in time for the 6 am sunrise. This hike is relatively easy, and the treks are pretty well-marked. From the mountain’s peak, there are views in all directions to sweep you off your feet, not literally.Hike Mount Batur at Kintamani, Bali.
