Bali

Bali is more than just Instagram and rooftop bars. It’s an island with a rich culture, breathtaking nature, and a community that extends far beyond any tourist bubble. What to see in Bali depends on whether you’re looking for. Beaches, rice paddies, temples, or surfing or all of the above.

In this section, you’ll find guides to Bali’s regions Seminyak, Ubud, Canggu, Uluwatu, Nusa Penida and tips on how to get around without overspending. We cover accommodations ranging from budget homestays to boutique villas, food from corner warungs to restaurants overlooking rice fields, and the activities that make Bali what it is.

Ad space: We spent a total of several weeks in Bali and discovered new places every time. We find our accommodations through Booking.com and book activities and tours through GetYourGuide surfing lessons, swimming at waterfalls, or a night hike up Mount Agung.

Bali is a place that people either love or don’t get. Come see for yourself and take our tips with you.
