TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Bali, the Island of the Gods, invites global travelers year-round to immerse themselves in its rich cultural charm and breathtaking natural wonders. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, the best places to visit in Bali guarantee nothing but an unforgettable experience.
The island is pure bliss, adorned with awe-inspiring temples, sparkling beaches, and lush landscapes—some of which are keeping their presence under the radar.
List of the Best Places to Visit in Bali
TripAdvisor and Holidify both highlight Sekumpul Waterfalls among the top places to visit in Bali. Other worth-exploring hidden gems in this magical island include:
1. Sekumpul Waterfalls
Tucked away deep in Bali’s jungle, Sekumpul Waterfall is often regarded as one of the most beautiful places to visit in Bali. Surrounded by lush tropical foliage, the falls are a series of seven cascading streams that create a stunning and serene oasis.
While discovering Sekumpul Waterfall requires a bit of effort, with around three hours of hiking, the reward is beyond worth it. This hidden gem stands apart from other Bali waterfalls, with its spectacular beauty and less-touristy atmosphere.
2. Campuhan Ridge Walk
Bali is renowned for its tranquility, yet many popular attractions are often crowded with tourists. And this is where the Campuhan Ridge Walk in Ubud stands out.
This picturesque walking trail promises a peaceful wander through lush valleys and paddies, allowing you to enjoy the fresh air within every step. For the best experience, visit at sunrise or sunset to savor the milder weather.
3. Bingin Beach
Bingin beach is an underrated treasure in Bali, where soft white sands and peaceful atmosphere beckon. Nestled at the base of a cliffside, Bingin is perfect for unwinding, thanks to its spacious surroundings, plentiful eateries, and stunning views. It shines particularly for surfing, swimming, and simply relaxing.
4. Museum PASIFIKA
For art lovers, it's exciting to discover that Bali is not only known for its natural beauty but also for its rich cultural history. Museum PASIFIKA brings this heritage to life through a stunning collection of 600 Indonesian and Balinese artworks by 200 artists, each telling a story of the region's deep past.
5. Kelingking Beach
Kelingking Beach is a rising star in the discussion of popular places to visit in Bali for couples. Famous for its T-Rex shaped cliffs, the panoramic view from above, with its crystal-clear waters below, feels almost otherworldly. Thanks to its location in Nusa Penida as well, visitors can enjoy the sense of tranquility during their visit.
6. Mount Agung
Bali’s highest and most sacred volcano, Mount Agung’s panoramic views that stretches across Bali and the surrounding islands are effortlessly breathtaking. Standing at 3,031 meters, a trek to the summit can be tough, but those who make it to the top are greeted with awe-inspiring sunrise vistas and a sense of accomplishment—confirming its reputation as one of the prime places to visit in Bali.
7. Turtle Conservation and Education Centre
For wildlife enthusiasts and those passionate about conservation, the Turtle Conservation and Education Centre (TCEC) in Serangan is a go-to destination. A dedicated center protecting endangered sea turtles, TCEC also offers valuable education on marine life conservation for the public.
From learning about the turtles’ life cycle to the experience of releasing baby turtles into the sea, it’s an inspiring journey—perfect for families with children looking to connect with nature.
8. Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple
Known for its serene spring water pools and ancient stone carvings, Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple is renowned as one of Bali’s most tranquil temples. This sacred site redefines peaceful escapes and adds a layer of quiet reflection and spiritual rejuvenation to your Bali trip.
From the iconic Tanah Lot to the hidden gem of Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple, Bali presents an incredible variety of places to visit that will leave you in awe.
As the island continues to shine on the list of must-visit destinations in Indonesia, there's no time like the present to pack your bags and dive into its wonders.
