The Top 3 Must Visit Places In Bali, Indonesia

You’ll often hear people say that Bali is too overrated, quite touristy and/or not worthy of visit. Well, it actually depends on how you would enjoy the place. Bali is definitely popular in its own right, and you’ll surely love its people, food, culture and tradition.  

Regardless of the time that has passed and places that have grown, there are still a lot of things to do and see in Bali.  Especially during peak season, you’ll enjoy the various little businesses dotted around to cater tourists – one of the many reasons to love Bali. 


Here are top three (3) must visit places enough to pique your interest.


Uluwatu Temple – PuraLuhur


Have you watched the movie “Cliffhanger?” This place is somewhat similar to a scene from that movie - a large rugged limestone cliff with a temple perched on it. It is located in the island commonly known as Bukit Peninsula, where Bali’s few best beaches are situated. 


The temple’s structure is majestic, constructed and expanded by several famous safes since the 11th century. It’s perched at the steep cliff of 70 meters above the Indian Ocean. If you go to the cliff’s higher grounds, you will be rewarded with breathtaking sceneries like sunsets. 


PuraTana Lot


It is considered as one of the magnificent rock formations that lays as foundation of popular pilgrimage temples in Bali. It is famous for its serenity and cultural significance as it is associated with Balinese mythology. Visit PuraTana Lot during low tide and you’ll experience walking across the water to the temple. 


Dolphin Sightings at Lovina


In Bali Indonesia hotels resorts are abundant with multi-cultural shows and events. However, if you are fond of dolphins, Lovina is the right place for you. It is one of the best places in the world to do dolphin sighting on a boat trip. 

Usually, you’ll leave the beach at dawn to seek for dolphins. Although it might be crowded with tourists, the trip is worth it especially when you see a number of dolphins happily jumping.

5 Important Things to Remember When Visiting Bali

Bali has been a long time tourist destination since time immemorial. It’s a tropical island basked everyday with natural beauty, gorgeous resorts and white beaches. In fact, Elizabeth Gilbert’s book entitled “Eat, Pray, Love” has put Bali on the globe as a solo gal’s romantic getaway. 
Despite the usual “things to do and see in Bali” which you often hear and read, this island has a lot to offer. You can dress up in accommodations and still have grand experience. The spirit of Bali is immersed in daily tradition of accustomed dress, flower offerings, pavilion homes and ornate rituals.
So, before you book that flight to Bali, here are five important things to remember. 
Don’t Forget About Souvenirs
Unlike other islands in Indonesia, Bali has strong craftsman’s demeanor. From wooden fixtures to giant stone-carved sculptures, the island’s best souvenirs are its offering on artistry and affordable value. Moreover, the Balinese are so good when it comes to both stone and wood carving.
Internet Connection Is Available, But Not Always Free
Although this one should not be that essential especially during vacation, there are times that Internet connection is a must – posting pictures in social media sites or emailing someone. Anyway, don’t fret as WiFi is available in most areas in Bali. However, situations like when your guesthouse doesn’t offer it, you will be required to go to cafes or restaurants, usually with purchase or something. 
Rent a Motorbike
If you want to sight-see Bali in the best and enjoyable way, then rent a motorbike. Motorbike driving is mellow, and it allows you freedom to visit the countryside. In Ubud, the rent usually cost around $6-$10/day. Well, why don’t you do yourself a favor and rent a motorbike!
Try Krupuk – The Street Snack
Krupuk is the name of Bali’s deep-fried rice sugar, and this can be too addicting. You can find a lot of them being sold on the streets. But, hey, they’re cheap and can get you over until your next meal. 
Don’t Like Motorbikes? Go With Taxis or Bemos
Ways to get around Bali Indonesia hotels resorts can be limited, but you do have options – bemo or taxi, if you won’t go with motorbike. They are the cheapest form of transportation in the island. You’ll definitely enjoy the sightseeing while on your way to your destination.

The Greenest Resorts in Bali That Promote Sustainable Tourism


We all know what mass tourism can do to pristine and lovely places like Bali, Indonesia. We've seen how once-verdant rice fields and forests have been converted into resort villas, and how small dirt roads have now been turned into 4- or 6-lane highways that are filled with smoke-belching buses and cars. While tourism certainly provides much-needed employment, many people today wonder at what cost. If you'd like to visit Bali, but you'd like to leave the smallest possible footprint, here's a look at a few of the greenest resorts in the Island of the Gods.

Kali Manik Eco Resort

If you're looking for things to do and see in Bali, but you'd like to do it in a way that won't damage the environment, then visit the island's best eco-tourism resorts! One of the island's best and most earth-friendly resorts is Kali Manik Eco Resort on the north coast.

Kali Manik Eco Resorts offers refreshing and amazing views of the sea, the rice paddies, hills and mountains, all from the window of your cottage.

The resort has three individually-designed cottages which conform to the strictest environment standards. The cottages are made from bamboo and stone, and clean solar energy powers the water heaters. All meals are also made from organic produce. The resort owners even hold workshops on sustainable tourism to their staff, and they involve the locals in their earth-friendly practices too.

Udayana Kingfisher Eco Lodge

Located in lovely and relaxing Jimbaran Heights, Udayana Kingfisher Lodge is the perfect place to escape the crowded beaches, the gridlocked streets, and the stressful noise of the city.  Here, you can truly be one with Mother Nature, and yet be so conveniently close to the airport, and other major destinations in Bali.

The eco lodge is perfect for family retreats, and is great for solo travellers too who have relatively limited budgets. What's so nice is that guests will have dramatic views of Mount Agung, Jimbaran and Benoa bays.

The resort is also certified as an eco-friendly tourist establishment, which means that its owners and staff are dedicated to educating and empowering local communities in sustainable development and long-term conservation.

Bali Eco Stay

Tucked amidst the lush rice fields and jungles on Mount Batukaru, Bali Eco Stay has five unique bungalows or cottages that are set up to naturally blend with the area's natural environment. The land where the resort is built is owned by locals, while an Australian couple manages and runs the resort. The facility also has its own hydroelectric power plant, organic vegetable garden, wastewater recycling systems, natural spring-fed pools and waterfalls.

Here, guests can participate in cultural workshops and cooking classes, as well as join locals in implementing earth-friendly practices. The establishment truly deserves to be named as one of the most earth-friendly Bali Indonesia Hotels Resorts!

The Must-See Charms Of Lovely Sanur, Bali



The different districts of Bali, Sanur is well-known for having the “first tourist resort in Bali”. The name of the place is derived from two Indonesian words “Saha' and”Nuhu” which literally mean “the passion to visit”. And if Kuta and Jimbaran are famed for their dramatic sunsets, Sanur is famous for its glorious sunrises and long stretches of beautiful sandy beaches. The area has a healthy sprinkling of plush hotels and market stalls, restaurants, and other exciting outdoor activities. Here's a peek at the must-see lovely charms of Sanur.

Griya Santrian Gallery

One of the best things to do and see in Bali, as well as in Sanur, includes a visit to the Griya Santrian Gallery. Located within the Griya Santrian Boutique Hotel, the open-air art gallery is host to book launches, art exhibitions, workshops and other art-related activities involving local and international artists.

It's also one of the most reputable galleries in Bali, as it features various sculptures, painting and carvings from artists who do classical styles of art. Among the notable artists whose art works were featured here include Auw Kok Heng, Ni Nyoman, Syahrizal Koto, Le Mayeur de Mempres and Sujana.

The Beaches Of Sanur 

With a long and lovely 8-kilometer coastline from north to south, visitors will enjoy several notable beaches in Sanur. A paved footpath connects joggers and hiker from the coastal border of the Gianyar regency to the mangrove forests of southern Denpasar.  This makes the whole coastline a perfect place to jog or ride a bicycle any time of the day.

According to frequent visitors, two areas of the beach are hailed as the most pleasant – the area towards the center nears the Bali Hyatt and north to The Shack, and in the northern end near the Inna Grand Hotel. Overall, the beaches of Sanur are perfect for family outings and other adventure activities, and offer lots of shade, good swimming, as well as good reef surfing, and it's only 30 to 45 minutes away from Kuta!

The Le Mayeur Museum

Tucked right on the main Sanur beach of Sindhum, behind the long line of art and souvenir stalls, Le Mayeur Museum is home to the artworks and personal history of Brussels-born artist Adrien-Jean Le Mayeur. Le Mayeur was so impressed by the beauty and tranquility of the shores of Sanur (and the sweet charms of its women), that he decided to stay here and marry a Legong dancer named Ni Pollok (who is extensively featured in his oil paintings).

The museum has five rooms, with the main building designed with classical Balinese elements, sculpted walls and red terrazzo floor tiles (and previously served as the couple's living quarters). 

Sanur is also home to a wonderful array of BaliIndonesia Hotels Resorts. From the luxurious five-star Sanur Beach Resort to the Mercure, Puri Santrian, the Inna Grand Bali Beach and a sprinkling of 3 and 4-star hotels, villas, bungalows and even nice home-stays!

So Many Things To Do And See In Bali – On Land And At Sea

Everyone – kids and adults alike – will surely enjoy Bali. A travel destination perfect for the entire family, even for those going solo, Bali is just the right place to spend your holidays.

Wherever you maybe in the island, be it at sea or land, you will always find some things to do and see in Bali. Below are just a handful, such as:

Dolphin Watching

Lovina Beach, around three hours drive north of Bali, is where the dolphins are. A boat owner is too willing to take you in his traditional outrigger boat towards the middle of the sea where you can see or if with luck, play with hundreds of them. Just make sure to go there during the peak season which is estimated to be between June and November plus, be there before sunrise say, between 5:30 to 6:00 in the morning. Otherwise, it will just be a waste of time as you may not find even one of these friendly gentle creatures.

The beach is famous among revelers for its magnificent panorama, coconut trees dotting the coastal area, making it suitable for a lazy lounging.

Sunset Watching

Wherever you are in Bali, the sunset will always be a spectacular phenomenon to behold – the skies exhibiting a wild but exquisite mix of yellow, orange and purple, at around 6:00 in the evening. No visitor will ever continue doing his own business but, stop and stare when the sun starts sinking into the ocean.

You actually have some options at hand -  a quite sunset on a serene beach while you're on your own, a lively sunset with your drinking buddies in a stylish bar, or a breathtaking sunset while you're going downhill from your trek.

Monkey Fun

Take time to stroll through the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, a nature reserve and Hindu temple complex in Ubud. Get the chance to see cheeky monkeys up close, watch them play and their every move. There are long-tailed ones that has become quite an attraction because guests are allowed to feed them. A ten-minute drive from Ubud to the Bali Zoo will also give you a sight of other creatures, not only monkeys - lions, crocodiles, tigers, and more.

Before you fly to Indonesia, be sure to book first in one of the chic yet affordable Bali Indonesia hotels resorts. With no lodging worries, you're sure to enjoy your holidays.

A Beginner’s Guide To Trekking Bali’s Highest & Holiest Mountains



If you’re an avid trekker or mountain climber, the famous Bali in Indonesia will definitely provide you an interesting and challenging experience, as there are two semi-active volcanoes here – Mount Batur and Mount Agung. Here’s a brief but, helpful guide on trekking its highest and holiest peaks.
Mount Agung

Standing at 3,142 meters (10,308 feet) above sea level, Mount Agung or Gunung Agung is the island’s highest and holiest mountain, and it’s also one of the top tourist attractions in Bali Indonesia. 

Mount Agung is located in Karangasem Regency or district, and it can be reached by physically fit hikers within 3 to 7 hours. There are two starting points when going up Mount Agung, Pasar Agung Temple (which will take hikers 3 to 4 hours) and Besakih Temple (hiking time is 5 to 7 hours).
Mount Batur

Mount Batur stands at 1, 717 meters (5,633 feet) above sea level. It offers hikers and adventure seekers a spectacular scenery and a warm spiritual experience. The ascent to the summit often takes two hours, and the routes start at Besakih Temple.

Hikers can choose to hire local guides and porters to help them safely make their way atop these two lovely mountains. However, they could also opt to go up on their own, as long as they have a map, compass, plus the required gear and navigation skills. A self-guided trek however, can be quite risky as the trails aren’t fully marked yet, and some locals may react with hostility to foreigners who go up on their own without a guide.

Essential Stuff To Bring Along

Hikers in Bali should bring along essential stuff like hiking shoes, long pants, compass, a jacket, camera, drinking water and flashlights. Because the weather in the island is always hot, humidity is very high, even during the dry season.  Likewise, it rains almost every day from October to March.

Because of the unpredictable weather, trekkers should never forget to bring waterproof boots and water-resistant jackets, as well as lots of water to ensure hydration. For more helpful information, they can also contact the office of the Bali Tourism Board.

Whether traveling with just your spouse, or with your whole family, choose villas or rooms with an ocean view when you can. It may cost you more, but the experience and the memories will be worth it.
Still, you'll want to make sure your accommodations fit your budget. This eliminates the stress of wondering if you have enough cash. Plus, you'll be sure to have extra funds to do some shopping and buy souvenirs.

If your family is quite big, though, it's best to look for hotels that offer family rooms. Those that include a kitchen and fridge are ideal. This isn't just for storing snacks, such as biscuits, and drinks like water and juice. You can use the kitchenette to prepare simple meals, too.

Make sure, too, that your hotel has a nanny service, or something similar. A vacation means taking a break from responsibility, including for your kids. Even if it's just for half a day, you'll want time for yourself and your spouse.

Look for amenities for kids and teens. Besides sightseeing, your kids will definitely look for things to do. Making sure the hotel offers some kind of entertainment will help keep the kids occupied. You'll also have peace of mind knowing that they're nearby. 

Find a hotel or resort that offers local cuisine along with a more familiar menu for your kids. This way, even if they aren't up to trying Balinese cooking, they'll still be able to eat since there's sure to be something they'll like.

With all these points covered, all you need to worry about are the things to do and see in Bali during your vacation.

If you think the Motel Mexicola (in Semanyak) is your typical Mexican restaurant (or worse a motel), think again. Once you enter the place, you’ll feel like you just got warped into a different time zone (that’s the 60’s), or perhaps you’ll think you’re in Miami Beach. Here, you can have your fill of truly tasty nachos, burritos, tacos, quesadillas, aguachile and more (plus lots of beer and tequilas).


Sardine

Have you ever thought of fine dining in the middle of a rice field? Come to Sardine in Semanyak. This elegant restaurant is housed in a large bamboo structure which overlooks rice paddies. You can choose to sit on a stylish and convenient lounge area that’s next to a pond filled with white koi carp.

The food choices are mostly organic greens and fish (including locally-made sardines of course) and served with exotic arak cocktails. What’s great is that half of the restaurant’s area is actually a working rice paddy, which makes it so peculiar.
