8 things we love to do the most when in Bali
In Bali, whether you’re seeking relaxation, adventure, or a deep dive into the local way of life, there's an array of experiences that cater to every type of traveller. From pristine beaches to lush rice terraces, and from traditional temples to lively markets, Bali is a treasure trove of unforgettable activities.
Explore the stunning beaches
Bali is renowned for its breathtaking beaches. From the bustling shores of Kuta, known for its surf culture and vibrant nightlife, to the serene sands of Nusa Dua that are perfect for families, the island has a beach for everyone.
Visit iconic temples
Uluwatu Temple, perched majestically on a cliff overlooking the ocean, offers not only breathtaking views but also a chance to witness the traditional Kecak dance during sunset. Tanah Lot, another iconic temple, is famous for its picturesque seaside location and is a perfect spot for sunset photography.
Immerse in local culture
Explore art exhibitions in Ubud, the island’s cultural hub, where you can admire traditional and contemporary works. If you’re lucky enough to be in Bali during a local festival, such as Galungan or Nyepi, you’ll experience the island’s vibrant celebrations firsthand.
Indulge in Balinese cuisine
For those who enjoy cooking, a Balinese cooking class offers a fun way to learn about the ingredients and techniques used in traditional dishes, and you’ll get to enjoy the fruits of your labor afterward.
Discover rice terraces
Visit Tegallalang or Jatiluwih, where you can wander through the verdant fields, take breathtaking photos, and learn about the traditional subak system used for irrigation. Hiking or biking through these picturesque landscapes allows you to connect with nature while enjoying the tranquil beauty of the island.
Adventure in nature
If you are someone who love diving and snorkelling, Amed and Nusa Penida offer some of the best diving spots. For those who don't mind starting their day with a strenuous hike, Mount Batur is there to give the most enchanting sunrise and splendid view of the island from up top.
Shop at local markets
Bali’s markets are a treasure trove of unique handicrafts, clothing, and souvenirs. If you love traditional collectible items, check out the Ubud Art Market. Here you can find everything from handmade jewellery to traditional textiles.
Experience the nightlife
Bali’s nightlife is vibrant and diverse, offering everything from beach clubs to night markets. In Seminyak and Canggu, you’ll find beach clubs that feature live music, DJs, and sunset parties that last until the early hours.
