Nice collection of places in our magic Bali Land and for sure very nice work listing lots of commercial tourist spots ( more - less )
I was hoping to read about the secrets , more unknown unique attractions as true "with local living" shows you .
As you know , I live here for over 16 years and see this island with different eyes. I am bored with places like Pothead or "Skygardens" . Anyways Rok , no critique , of course I up voted because You motivated me to list those behind the scene places I would wish visitors could experience as well as I did over those years . Places & events , nobody talks about in Travel books .
It will take some time to list them all but thanks for the idea :) You just payed forward :)

Agree with you also having spent so much time there. I feel you would be the best guide to help out.

I've been to Bali back in 2015 and seeing these photos the craving to go back just shoots up.

What an awesome "illustrated" and well-curated guide to the island. These are great recommendations. I'll keep it bookmarked. I love how you ended it with the "Bali time" caveat, though. In other locales, it's known as "Island time" or "Mexican time" or "Tropical time", etc. It's good to start with a list like yours and then allow a few days for things take their course: relax, enjoy, explore, get lost, try some unusual experiences, and discover more that way!

As a paraglider pilot, I would also recommend going to Timbis at the very South edge of the island. It's one of the best fly site for the sport in Asia and you can fly (as a passenger) for HOURS if the condition is good.

Precious landscapes, I remain undoubtedly with, 13. Pure Besakih (Mother Temple), 15. Gunung Kawi, Tampaksiring, and 23. Tanah Lot Temple, Tabanan. I wait to be able to visit them some day.

Your welcome.

Yes, as far as I know, everything on this list still stands as. The only couple things I might add in would be Genius Cafe on the beach in Sanur behind Mercure, which is part of the Entrepreneurs Institute group, and if you’re looking for some island-hopping, jump over to either Nusa Penida and/or the Gilis...

Enjoy! :-)

For surf:

If your skills are honed, everything down on the Bukit is gold - Uluwatu, Bingin, Padang Padang, Dreamland, Greenball...

Karamas on the east has killer rights, just in front of Komune Beach Club - though need mid-to-high tide or the reef too sketchy.

Kuta is classic, though very busy and more suited to beginners.

And Canggu is gold. Berawa. Batu Balong for long boarding. And one further down, forget the name.

There’s a couple more a further trip out west, but those are the main spots. Lombok supposedly has some excellent waves as well, though be careful there as many stories of tourists getting robbed (and some arms getting hacked off with maschettes after dark)...

surfermarly (74) · 7 years ago

Thank you so much for the tips!!
I'm still a beginning surfer, so I guess I'll check out Kuta then. Lombok doesn't sound like a place where a girl should travel to alone though..?

Most of the time I'll hang at Komune witnessing the WSL... So let's see how much time will be left for catching waves by myself :-)

Again thanks for your help!!

rok-sivante (75) · 7 years ago

Mmm, there’s probably parts that are alright, and if you were to go with a trusted tour company or something you’d be alright - though not sure completely exploring just anywhere solo would be the wisest option...

Kuta and Batu Bolong - in front of Old Mans... good vibe over there too and waves are super nice and more tame for long boarding... :-)

I'm Indonesian, but i had visited Bali just once when i was 18 years old. Bali always make us wanna go there again and again, that because of the pretty scenery.. all of Bali is beautiful, the street, the beaches, the praying tradision, and even the market, they all beautiful there. Really wanna visit Bali again, but in Indonesia, it is hard to get off of our work. There only twice holiday in a year that we can use to have a vacation. Maybe someday i will visit Bali again..

cheers mate.

if you surf (which I guess you do by your username), you'll love it even more. world-class beaches. though getting pretty busy. lots of other great gems that aren't as busy throughout Indo though - some of the best in the world for sure...

The OP mentioned a resort tied to the entrepreneurial group Wealth Dynamics, that's super awesome. I'm going to check that out while I'm living here in Bali.

I love the wealth dynamics test. Anyone who's looking to learn some great knowledge about themselves, be sure to check it out.

I'm a fellow Mechanic currently living in Bali.

Yea man, go check it out!

Vision Villas is in Karamas, right around the corner from Komune Beach Club.

They’ve also opened up Genius Cafe beach club in Sanur, right behind the Mercure. They host the Startup Grind events there once a month or so, that’d be great to check out... ;-)
