AREAS IN BALI TO EXPLORE

 

Kuta -:

Kuta beach is one of the best places to enjoy Bali’s famous sunset while enjoying a Bintang beer on your first day in the island, Located near Ngurah Rai International Airport and coast line is 2.5km long. It is very famous as a surfing paradise among surfers and it is a backpacker’s paradise. Once the sun goes down Kuta will be a party zone of Bali. Don’t forget to enjoy a cup of coffee in the afternoon time at Kuta Mc Donald’s looking at the Kuta Sea from a distance and the hustle of people and vehicle along the Mc Donald’s front street, but sadly you will not be able to get this experience as McDonald’s Kuta beach was closed permanently due to the Covid-19 pandemic last year.

Canggu -:

As a result of the over packed tourists in Seminyak, Backpackers seems to have now shifted over to Canggu, or ‘the gu’ as locals call it. Located just north of Seminyak on the west coast of Bali. Canggu is one of the best spots on the island with surfers and if you go – you’ll definitely end up with a cocktail or two at Old Man’s as you watch the sunset beyond the horizon. It was one of the best sunsets I have experienced in my life. I didn’t even have time to take my camera out and take a photo of the beautiful sunset over the horizon as I was drowned in that beautiful moment. Don’t forget a visit to Tanah Lot, one of the most popular and beautiful temple on the island.

 

Ubud -:

Ubud is known as the cultural hub in the Island with temples, holistic centers, yoga studios and local markets on every corner of the street. With access to locally grown produce of every varieties, it is here in Ubud that the vegan and raw dining culture was born in the Island. The food and drink options are amazing with the local vibe, as well as the options to explore the famous rice fields,temples, the nearby Mt.Batur and the legendary Monkey Forest.

Uluwatu -:

Uluwatu is some of the best surf breaks in Bali and to some of the most consistent, sought after reef breaks in the world. This surf town is located on the south of the island on the cliffs of the Bukit Peninsula. Here you’ll also find the Pura Luhur temple and some of the exclusive hotels and restaurants and hotels on the island.

 

Sanur -:

Considered as the sleepier towns and host to many local families hotels and restaurants, Sanur is very famous among the young travellers. I simply love it here. It’s the perfect place to get more Balinese experience. Plus, this is the gateway to the nearby Islands of Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, Lombok, Flores, Komodo and the Gilies, all of which you can visit and explore in a day trip or two days trip.

Nusa Dua -:

Nusa Dua is an area of Bali with luxury 5 star hotels and resorts that back onto the white sandy beach. The hotel and restaurant are all at western prices, even all the extra excursions are on the pricey side.

Don’t forget to experience the best sunset viewed at Jimbaran beach where sunset into the sea. Jimbaran is worth the visit as the place to get fresh sea foods on the island.

 

The East & North -:

I haven’t actually explored much of the East and North of the Island. Without doubt at some point I will return back to this heavenly island. When I do, road trip up the east coast and the north is at the top of my Bali bucket list. There are some gorgeous temples alongside the coast. Don’t forget to go on a waterfalls hunting as waterfalls are spilling all over the island.
