Whether you visit one or more of these stunning natural wonders, you’ll be leaving the island with memories to leave a lasting impression.
Absolutely spectacular resort nestled in beautiful surroundings just by the beach. Close walking distance to everything thats needed and great restaurants on site to choose from. The service was just outstanding.

Our room was beautiful, with a huge, well appointed bathroom, and the bed was really comfortable. The food at the restaurant was fantastic, the pool was beautiful with plenty of lounges, but the staff and their level of friendliness and attentiveness was the best thing here. Highly recommend, would love to stay again.

We had a fantastic stay at Maya Sanur Resort & Spa and would happily recommend it to others.
The resort is beautiful, but it’s the genuinely caring and friendly staff who make it special. Everyone went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and the thoughtful touches throughout our stay made a real difference.
Rue was a highlight for dining, with delicious food and excellent service. Make sure you try the sticky date pudding, it’s amazing! The cooking class was also a great experience, and we highly recommend treating yourself to a massage at the spa. So relaxing!
Our room was beautifully prepared each evening, another example of the care shown throughout the resort.
Ultimately, it’s the people who make Maya Sanur memorable. We left with wonderful memories, felt genuinely looked after and would happily return. A beautiful resort with outstanding hospitality! Thanks to Ita, Yola the wonderful front desk team, Arianna at the spa, Hendra from Housekeeping and everyone else at Maya!
Sekumpul Waterfall, Sekumpul
If we had to name Bali’s most beautiful waterfall, it would have to be Sekumpul Waterfall. Showcasing six or seven glorious cascades of varying heights, this waterfall is a photographer’s dream. Young trees, moss and vines cling to the waterfall’s rocks and the delicate layer of mist from the cascades causes multiple rainbows to appear above the clear pool below. A lush emerald forest of large-leafed plants, twining branches and wet, mossy rocks perfectly frame this beautiful oasis.
Located in Sekumpul Village, this scenic spot is the perfect day trip for those staying at Nandini Jungle Resort and Spa. After traversing the moderate track you’ll be well-rewarded for your efforts, as this is one of Bali’s most impressive sights.
Munduk Waterfall is known as the ‘Niagara Falls of Bali’ thanks to its multiple cascades and gorgeous surroundings. The waterfalls consist of three cascades with the largest being Niagara Munduk, a 15-metre stunning water feature that drops into a clear pool perfect for swimming. The surrounding area is spectacularly beautiful, with thick forest, rice fields and clove plantations hedged in by rugged mountain peaks.
Located near Munduk Village, this gorgeous oasis is just a short day trip for those staying at the luxury Kayumanis Ubud Private Villas, and the waterfalls are easily accessible via a well-maintained trail and approximately 50m from the car park. During peak season, Munduk Falls are best viewed in the early morning or late afternoon.
Where: Jl Raya No.Desa, Munduk, Banjar, Kabupaten Buleleng
This was the second stay on my second trip to Bali and it was unforgettable! The location and just the feeling of peace and tranquility was flowing. From the warm welcome from the concierge team, to restaurant staff, Chef Made Armawa on my cooking class and market tour, and Komang on our morning trek, everything was just perfect. It was also a beautiful place to honour my late mum as she loved nature and being surrounded by it at an emotional time was just heartwarming! My villa was more than I expected. It was beautifully furnished and spacious, and managed to befriend a gecko or two! Lol. Thank you LE for the beautiful recommendation and thank you Kayumanis for a wonderful and memorable stay! Highly recommend!

This is the second time that we have stayed in Kayumanis Ubud villas and it was just as good as the first we would highly recommend the accommodation.
Banyumala Twin Waterfalls, Wanagiri
Set your sights on the Banyumala Twin Waterfalls and admire two stunning cascades dropping into an easily-accessible pool below. The water from the twin falls is sparkling clean and trickles gently down the steep rock cliffside while creating a fanning effect closer to the bottom. There’s also a shorter, smaller cascade that enters the pool from the side, and acts as a great little natural shower.
Nestled in the Wanagiri Hills, just 10 minutes from Bedugul, the falls are accessed fairly easily via a natural track. For true peace and serenity, it’s recommended to visit in the early mornings – and you may even have the park to yourself.
Nice cool place in the mountains away from the heat and crowd. Near many attractions like Ulun Danu, botanical garden and lake Beratan.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel with our family. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and well-maintained, making it the perfect place to relax and spend quality time together. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our stay.
The location is excellent, with easy access to nearby attractions while still offering a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. We especially appreciated the warm hospitality and excellent service, which made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.
Overall, this is an excellent choice for families looking for a comfortable and memorable holiday. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Aling-Aling Waterfall, Sambangan
The sacred Aling-Aling Waterfall isn’t just gorgeous to look at – it’s also the perfect location for those looking to experience some excitement in a natural environment. Explore several smaller offshoot waterfalls and watch as locals dive from cliffs and fly down the natural 35-metre water slide. While Aling-Aling waterfall itself is a spiritual site, meaning you can’t swim there, the park surrounding these picturesque falls offers endless swimming holes and shallow wading areas in an idyllic natural setting.
Aling-Aling and its offshoots (Kembar, Kroya and Pucuk waterfalls) are located in the village of Sambangan and are best viewed with the help of a guide. The best time to visit these is in the mornings to beat the daytime heat.
Where: Jl Raya Desa Sambangan, Kabupaten Buleleng
Thundering Tibumana Waterfall – Apuan
The picture-perfect Tibumana Waterfall is the place to head to if you love swimming and relaxing. The pool below this impressive five-metre-tall cascade is nice and shallow, making it a great place to unwind under the mist above. The waterfall runs along a cliff face before dropping, and there’s a grotto-type cavity at the base of the cascade. The lush jungle surrounding the falls makes the ideal tropical backdrop, and the sandy embankment is perfect for wading around on hot Bali days.
Tibumana Waterfall is located in Apuan Village just outside Ubud, and is within easy reach for those staying at Maya Ubud Resort or Tanadewa Resort and Spa. The 10-minute walk from the carpark to the falls is considered fairly easy, with a concrete walkway, bamboo bridges and some steps. Morning times are the best to avoid crowds, and the falls are great during wet and dry seasons for swimmers or eager photographers hoping to capture some extra special photos to hold onto forever.
Where: Jl. Desa Apuan, Apuan, Susut, Kabupaten Bangli
Maya Ubud was an outstanding property in a stunning location. It had everything you could need including a spa, multiple restaurants, live music, adults only pool, shop, and lovely rooms. The staff were incredible and so attentive. I would totally recommend this resort to anyone travelling to Bali who doesn't want to stay by the ocean.
