Begin your trip in South Bali with cliffs, beaches and sunsets. The Bukit Peninsula is one of the most dramatic parts of the island,
famous for surf beaches, ocean viewpoints and one of Bali’s most iconic temples.
What to do and see in Bukit and Uluwatu
Uluwatu Temple and the Kecak dance
Uluwatu Temple
is one of Bali’s most famous cliff-top temples. The scenery is spectacular, especially close to sunset.
The Kecak performance is touristy, yes, but still worth experiencing at least once during a first trip to Bali.
Watch your belongings carefully because the monkeys around the temple are known for grabbing glasses, hats and anything loose.
Typical practical info from many travelers includes temple entry around IDR 50k, Kecak show around IDR 100k per person,
and showtime around 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
Bukit beaches
Thomas Beach is pleasant and more relaxed than some other southern beaches. Padang Padang is more famous but smaller and often busier.
Nyang Nyang Beach is much wilder, with big waves and stunning cliffs.
On Nyang Nyang, swimming is not always recommended because of strong surf. It is however a beautiful place for scenery, photos and sometimes paragliding.
Cool places to go out
For sunset drinks, Single Fin is a Bali classic. You can also enjoy beach clubs in the area and stylish cliff venues nearby.

Monkey Forest.

Optional highlight: Mount Batur sunrise hike

Mount Batur.
Most hikes begin in the middle of the night, with ascent taking roughly 1.5 to 2 hours. The sunrise views above the clouds can be magical.
2 nights in Munduk, in North Bali
Munduk is cooler, greener and calmer than the south. It is one of the best places in Bali if you want waterfalls,
mountain scenery and a slower rhythm.
From Ubud to Munduk
The road from Ubud to Munduk can include beautiful stops such as the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces and
Beratan / Bedugul Temple. Jatiluwih is one of Bali’s most beautiful rice landscape experiences.
What to do in Munduk
The best-known activity is the waterfall area. A self-guided hike can take you to several falls in one day,
including Melanting and nearby cascades.
The region is also known for coffee, cloves and cool fresh air compared to southern Bali.
3 nights in Nusa Lembongan, east of Bali
Nusa Lembongan is a great island break in the middle of a Bali trip. It is smaller, slower and more relaxed,
ideal for walking, beach time, viewpoints and easy island exploration.
How to get there
A common route is transfer to Sanur,
then a fast boat to Nusa Lembongan. The crossing often takes around 45 minutes.

2 nights in Seminyak, near the beach and airport
Finish your Bali trip in Seminyak. It is practical, stylish, close to many restaurants and beach clubs,
and convenient before a departure flight.
What to do in Seminyak
Enjoy the beach, take a beginner surf lesson, go shopping around Jalan Laksmana and Seminyak Village, try stylish restaurants,
have a drink at a rooftop or beach club, or simply relax before flying home.
Seminyak is much easier to enjoy on foot than by car because traffic can be heavy.
