About Bali island

At first glance, the diversity of the beaches of the Bali island does not have a prominent distinctive feature. There is no clear predominance of mountain landscapes or crystal sea, on the contrary, everything seems balanced. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the flow of tourists continues to grow from year to year.

Latest reviews on Bali island's beaches

Kedonganan Beach
10 Niran Vayu

This beach offers an idyllic setting to bask in the sunset and indulge in the delectable local seafood. If you're part of a big group, I suggest heading to the market to purchase some freshly caught seafood and then taking it to one of the seafood huts to cook it up for a fraction of the cost. It's an experience like no other!

Batu Bolong Beach
10 Kaelan Ashford

The beach is absolutely stunning and I highly recommend visiting around 5PM when the weather is slightly overcast. It's a joy to watch the many dogs frolicking about, whether they are street dogs or playing with their owners. The beaches are interconnected, so you can take a leisurely stroll and discover several beaches while waiting for the sunset. It's truly a wonderful experience!

Berawa Beach
10 Rian Aditya Pratama

This beach is a great spot to spend time with family and enjoy the sunrise or sunset. It's conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from our beloved hotel, The Haven Berawa.

Kedungu Beach
10 Aleksei Novikov.

The local beach is quite steep and mostly frequented by locals, with very few foreigners around. You'll often see children playing football here, and there's also a chance to surf. If you venture further, you'll discover some interesting spots that are usually off the beaten path. The sunsets are truly stunning, and the road leading to the beach is smooth and easy to navigate. There are also some small warungs where you can grab a bite to eat.

Panggungan Beach
10 Lira Kaelen

The beach is a great spot to hang out with friends and enjoy the scenery. They offer a decent range of food and drink options at reasonable prices. It can get pretty crowded in the evenings, so it's best to arrive early if you want to catch the sunset. Depending on where you sit, there may be a minimum order requirement. The service can be a little slow at times, especially when it comes to ordering food and drinks. Don't forget to hold onto your payment receipt as it will be needed when you leave to ensure that you've paid at the cashier. Thank you!

Lipah Beach
10 Nikolai Kovalenko.

Amed has one of the finest locations for capturing beach photographs. Make sure to visit during early morning or afternoon hours. This beach is perfect for snorkeling and relaxing, with serene waters. However, the rocky coastline makes it a bit challenging to exit the water. This may not be an ideal destination for elderly individuals.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 14 beaches in the island, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!
