Best Places to Visit in Bali | 25 Top Landmarks, Attractions & Fun Activities
Bali is the perfect tourist destination thanks to its ideal weather and the fact that the island is brimming with must-see tourist sites and can’t-miss activities. In fact, it’s impossible to fit all the best places to visit in Bali into one trip! Chances are good, though, that you’ll have numerous attractions within a short distance of wherever you are staying. Plus, any other major landmark you want to see is probably an easy day trip away. From shopping in Seminyak, to lounging on Lovina Beach, to visiting all of the cultural landmarks around Ubud, you will never run out of places to visit in Bali.
1. Kuta Beach
Bali‘s shoreline is covered in beaches, but the most famous one is definitely Kuta Beach. Located in the popular tourist town of Kuta, it is the most lively and energetic spot on the island. Just about every beach activity you could think of is available here, including swimming, sun tanning, surfing, watersports, and more. You can rent a sun lounger for as little as 50,000 IDR from one of the many vendors and order a cold drink to enjoy while you lay back. There is also no shortage of fantastic restaurants within easy walking distance of the beach as well.
Kuta Beach is particularly famous for its magnificent sunsets, as it is located along the island’s southwestern coast. In fact, it is often referred to simply as “sunset beach.” After the sun sets, you can head to the adjoining street to do some souvenir shopping or enjoy the world-renowned nightlife scene. Unlike many of Bali‘s beaches and attractions, there is no entry fee for Kuta Beach. As it is such a popular destination, the beach is usually quite crowded, but you should have no problem finding a spot. You can beat many of the crowds by coming earlier in the morning or by walking north up the beach, where it tends to get more secluded.

2. Besakih Temple
Besakih Temple is the largest and holiest temple in all of Bali. Commonly known as the “Mother Temple,” it is located on the slopes of Mount Agung in the eastern part of the island. Mount Agung is actually one of the island’s principal volcanoes, and it is the highest point in Bali at 9,944 feet. The Besakih Temple complex, which is situated on the mountain’s southern slopes, is made up of more than 20 individual temples split across six terraced levels. The temples were constructed over 1,000 years ago, and they continue to be an important site in the religious life of Balinese people today as well as one of the best places to visit in Bali. Over 70 religious ceremonies are held here every year.
The temple complex houses numerous beautiful carvings and statues and offers stunning views of the surrounding hills and rice paddies. You can easily devote a whole day to exploring the entire site, and if you only have time to visit one Balinese temple, Besakih Temple should be your top choice.

3. Seminyak
Seminyak is an upscale shopping, dining, and entertainment district located just up the coast from Kuta. It is regarded as the most exclusive vacation destination on the island, and it is full of high-end resorts and brand-name boutiques. You’ll find a wide array of spas where you can spend the day pampering yourself, many of the finest restaurants on the island, and several fantastic art galleries that support the local art scene. There is still an energetic party atmosphere and plenty of nightlife spots in Seminyak, but it tends to be on the tamer and more refined side compared to many areas of Bali that see a younger crowd.
Aside from the shopping, one of the main draws of the Seminyak area is Seminyak Beach. A stunning white-sand beach, it’s a great spot to go surfing or to relax with an ocean-side massage. Seminyak Beach tends to be less crowded than Bali‘s more southerly beaches, making it popular among couples looking for a romantic getaway. You can even take a romantic horseback ride on the beach! The sunset views are spectacular here as well, and the numerous swanky beachside bars and lounges offer front-row seats to the nightly show.

Tanah Lot Temple is perhaps one of the most recognizable temples in all of Bali, and one of the seven sea temples along the coast.

Established in the 16th century, the temple is built harmoniously into the rock and enhances the stunning natural beauty of the area.

Bali is the perfect tourist destination thanks to its ideal weather and the fact that the island is brimming with must-see tourist sites and can’t-miss activities. In fact, it’s impossible to fit all the best places to visit in Bali into one trip! Chances are good, though, that you’ll have numerous attractions within a short distance of wherever you are staying. Plus, any other major landmark you want to see is probably an easy day trip away. From shopping in Seminyak, to lounging on Lovina Beach, to visiting all of the cultural landmarks around Ubud, you will never run out of places to visit in Bali.
1. Kuta Beach
Bali‘s shoreline is covered in beaches, but the most famous one is definitely Kuta Beach. Located in the popular tourist town of Kuta, it is the most lively and energetic spot on the island. Just about every beach activity you could think of is available here, including swimming, sun tanning, surfing, watersports, and more. You can rent a sun lounger for as little as 50,000 IDR from one of the many vendors and order a cold drink to enjoy while you lay back. There is also no shortage of fantastic restaurants within easy walking distance of the beach as well.
Kuta Beach is particularly famous for its magnificent sunsets, as it is located along the island’s southwestern coast. In fact, it is often referred to simply as “sunset beach.” After the sun sets, you can head to the adjoining street to do some souvenir shopping or enjoy the world-renowned nightlife scene. Unlike many of Bali‘s beaches and attractions, there is no entry fee for Kuta Beach. As it is such a popular destination, the beach is usually quite crowded, but you should have no problem finding a spot. You can beat many of the crowds by coming earlier in the morning or by walking north up the beach, where it tends to get more secluded.

2. Besakih Temple
Besakih Temple is the largest and holiest temple in all of Bali. Commonly known as the “Mother Temple,” it is located on the slopes of Mount Agung in the eastern part of the island. Mount Agung is actually one of the island’s principal volcanoes, and it is the highest point in Bali at 9,944 feet. The Besakih Temple complex, which is situated on the mountain’s southern slopes, is made up of more than 20 individual temples split across six terraced levels. The temples were constructed over 1,000 years ago, and they continue to be an important site in the religious life of Balinese people today as well as one of the best places to visit in Bali. Over 70 religious ceremonies are held here every year.
The temple complex houses numerous beautiful carvings and statues and offers stunning views of the surrounding hills and rice paddies. You can easily devote a whole day to exploring the entire site, and if you only have time to visit one Balinese temple, Besakih Temple should be your top choice. It is about a two-hour drive from both Kuta and Sanur. There is a very fair entrance fee of 60,000 IDR per adult and 30,000 IDR per child to enter the temple grounds, and guided tours are available, though not required.

3. Seminyak
Seminyak is an upscale shopping, dining, and entertainment district located just up the coast from Kuta. It is regarded as the most exclusive vacation destination on the island, and it is full of high-end resorts and brand-name boutiques. You’ll find a wide array of spas where you can spend the day pampering yourself, many of the finest restaurants on the island, and several fantastic art galleries that support the local art scene. There is still an energetic party atmosphere and plenty of nightlife spots in Seminyak, but it tends to be on the tamer and more refined side compared to many areas of Bali that see a younger crowd.
Aside from the shopping, one of the main draws of the Seminyak area is Seminyak Beach. A stunning white-sand beach, it’s a great spot to go surfing or to relax with an ocean-side massage. Seminyak Beach tends to be less crowded than Bali‘s more southerly beaches, making it popular among couples looking for a romantic getaway. You can even take a romantic horseback ride on the beach! The sunset views are spectacular here as well, and the numerous swanky beachside bars and lounges offer front-row seats to the nightly show.
