Bali is a globally famous island, administratively a province in Indonesia, located at the westernmost of the Lesser Sunda Islands, East of Java and west of Lombok. Denpasar is the provincial capital, whereas the upland town of Ubud is dubbed the cultural center.
Also called the Land of the Gods, Bali is home to rich natural beauty, ranging from popular beaches to lush rice field terraces, not to the ubiquitous intricately carved sacred Hindu temples.
Under a warm, tropical climate, Bali has two seasons – the rainy (November – March) and the dry (April – September). October, January, and February are the usual off-season with fewer visitors, making it also perfect for peace seekers or budget travelers. Meanwhile, the usual peak tourism season is between July and August.
A surfer's haven, Bali appeals more with its cultural heritage, arts, and crafts. Luxurious resorts, upscale shopping centers, and nightlife hubs coexist with the time-honored historical places.
Let’s take a look at some of the most widely known tourist destinations on your next bucket list.
Nusa Penida is an exotic island as a part of Klungkung Regency, Bali, located on the southeastern of the main island. Three of the most popular and biggest islands are Penida, Lembongan, and Ceningan, which are all hidden paradises for beach lovers, snorkeling and diving enthusiasts, and sunset and sunrise chasers.
Tanah Lot is probably the most mentioned, an ancient Hindu shrine perched on a rock facing the ocean, a perfect spot for seeing a breathtaking sunset. Uluwatu (Pura Luhur Uluwatu) is the next must-stop – believed to be one of the six spiritual pillars, also perching on the top of a magnificent 70-m cliff above the sea level, offering the sacred Kecak dance performance.
This place offers a picturesque and serene view of rice paddy terraces beautifully arranged on the slopes across the valley, surrounded by lush trees. It has been listed as a UNESCO heritage site; these rice fields are located in the northern part of Ubud.

“For the price of 160k/night in Traveloka, I can't complain of course 😀👍 However, I have to point out that the pool was dirty and that's why I didn't want to use it. And the internet was very slow. From room 7 I had almost no Wi-Fi connection. Only a cold shower. But the rooms are large, comfortable, everything seems of high quality 🤝🤩. The location is good, not far from Ferry Harbor 👍.”
