On Bali’s Bukit Peninsula, Jimbaran Bay promises local vibes and luxury stays just 10 minutes' from Denpasar Airport. The ultra-glam gather on Uluwatu’s limestone clifftops – crowned with exclusive villas, swanky beach clubs and million-dollar views. Whether you’re here for a party or peace, don’t miss Uluwatu Temple’s vistas or a paddle at Bingin Beach. In contrast, families flock to Nusa Dua for manicured shores, golf greens and grand resorts. Here, days are best spent flopped on Geger Beach or banana boating Benoa Bay – a watersports mecca.
Catch breathtaking sunrises and snorkel havens at the island’s eastern hideaways: Sanur’s five-kilometre coastline jostles with gentle waves and colourful fishing boats; its port marks the launch point for exploring neighbouring Nusa islands: Lembongan, Penida and Ceningan. Candidasa charms with its tranquil lagoon and the highlands, sculpted with rice paddies and ornate water temples, mark the start of adventurous treks. The nearby port of Padangbai is a gateway to The Gili’s —an island trio promising ethereal beaches, full moon parties and unrivalled sunsets.
The epitome of wellness awaits in Ubud’s emerald terraced hills. Only an hours’ drive from Kuta, Bali’s cultural heart draws yogis and retreat-seekers eager to detox Western stresses with Indonesian holistic traditions. When you’re not in deep meditation or downward dog, find magic in the Sacred Monkey Forest or a rice paddy sunrise.
Seminyak is the place to be seen for foodies and Instagram’s elite. World-class restaurants and influencer lairs line Eat Street, from Melbourne-grade brunch spots to Asian-fusion institutions. Inland, private pool villas are landscaped in jungles while palm-fringed shores host starlit dining, iconic beach clubs and some of Bali’s best sunsets. Nearby Canggu’s hipster enclave charms with its surf-ready waves, wholefood cafés and artisan bazaars.
A hive of affordable spas, souvenir markets and non-stop nightlife, Kuta invites hot days swirling through Waterbom Bali and balmy nights sipping ice-cold Bintang on Poppies Lane. The lively bars and street stalls stretch into Legian, where strips of shops and fragrant warungs bustle behind big-name beachfront resorts.
Take your exploration further when you venture beyond Bali and see some of Indonesia's other isles. Lombok is only a two-hour flight from Jakarta, the Indonesian capital city, and promises a wealth of treasures: blissful beaches, ancient volcanoes and deeply spiritual temples. Another of Indonesia's wonders is Komodo, an island notable as being the home of the Komodo dragon. Komodo National Park, which occupies a majority of the island, is best explored from nearby Flores Island. Direct flights to Lubuan Bajo on Flores Island are available from Jakarta.
