2. Pandawa Beach: Secluded Hideaway in South Bali

Pandawa beach is located in the village of Kutuh in the Southern Bali. Most of the tourist know of the usual beaches like Dreamland Beach or Kuta Beach, but another more gorgeous yet less heard of beach exist, by the name of Pandawa. It is often referred to as the Secret Beach. Concealed behind high cliffs and overgrown shrubbery, Pandawa beach had long remained secluded from the crowds of tourist, due to the less-than-easy path that had be taken to access it.  

3. Dreamland Beach :Surfers Paradise

Dreamland beach is a beautiful beach with white sand stretch 100 meters and leaned on a steep of white stone cliff overlooking to the amazing view of the Indian ocean. It is now known as the new kuta beach and it's a well known destination for surfing enthusiasts. The advantages of this beach are big and powerful wave and make it as one of the most demanded surfing points in Bali Island. The beach provides basic accommodation and cafes for surfers and day-trippers.

4. Padang-Padang Beach

Padang-padang beach is on the island Bali by Indonesia, in the Uluwatu area. This bay is famous for its waves, attracting surfers from all over the world. Not only is the water ideal for surfing but also for swimming and snorkeling. Padang Padang beach is very unique because it is hidden within the cliffs, and you'll need to pass through the cave to get to the beach! Besides, it is only a thirty minute drive from Kuta beach and the beach itself is located in Pecatu village, which is a twenty minute drive from Ngurah Rai International airport. The beach is only 120 meters long, but the crystal clear water, the silver sand and the stunning cliffs make the visit worthwhile.

5. Pura Luhur Uluwatu Temple 

Pura Luhur Uluwatu is a Balinese sea temple in Bali. Without a doubt, what makes Uluwatu Temple spectacular is its cliff-top setting at the edge of a plateau 250 feet above the waves of the Indian Ocean. Built in the 11th century, it is one of nine directional temples meant to protect Bali from evil spirits. It is located in Pecatu village, Kuta South District of Badung Regency of Bali. So far this is the best temple with the most spectacular scene I've ever visited in Bali! The view is out of the world!

6. Tanah Lot Temple 

Tanah Lot is one of the important directional temples in Bali. The temple is located on a rock just offshore. It is said to be the work of revered 15th century Hindu priest Nirartha and forms an important element of Balinese spiritualism and mythology. This is an extremely popular tourist destination and the whole area is often very busy indeed, especially in the late afternoons, where the tourist are here to enjoy the most exotic and spectacular sunset behind the silhouette of Tanah Lot Temple! At some nooks of coral reef around Tanah Lot Temple, there are holy snake in black and white colour where according to the local society believe that it as a deity property and as the guard of the temple from the bad influence. 

7. Tanjung Benoa Beach 

Tanjung Benoa Beach is nowhere near as antiseptic as Nusa Dua, but it's nowhere near as rowdy nor as downmarket as Kuta, either. The area vibe is more mature and family-friendly - surfers tend to steer clear of Tanjung Benoa's sedate waves, leaving the waters clear for kayaks, jetskis, parasailers, and banana boats. Tanjung Benoa is a quite beautiful beach. There are many small huts on the beach for shelter and basking. With its beautiful beaches and a wide range of water attractions have made the Tanjung Benoa beach known as the center for water sports and become the famous tourist attraction. It takes about 20 minutes from airport, and 35 minutes from Kuta beach. 

8. Tegalallang Rice Terrace

Tegallalang Rice Terraces in Ubud is famous for its beautiful scenes of rice paddies. Tegallalang forms the three most splendid terraced landscapes in Ubud's shared region, with the others being in the villages of Pejeng and Campuhan. The high roadside location is cool and breezy and it is a well-known spot for tourists to stop and take photos. Painters and nature lovers also enjoy visiting this spot, and there are numerous art kiosks and cafes near the ledge offering their ware. There are also few cafes and restaurants nearby so that you can enjoy the local balinese food such as Bebek (duck) with the gorgeous terrace paddy fields of Tegalallang! Be sure to try their civet coffee! 

9. Mount Batur Volcano

Mount Batur is an active volcano located at the center of two concentric calderas north west of Mount Agung, Bali, Indonesia. The south east side of the larger 10×13 km caldera contains a caldera lake. Wonderful mountain air and dizzying views in all directions, as well as several important temples, are what makes Kintamani one of the most memorable stops on the Bali tourist itinerary. Make sure to visit Mount Batur to enjoy a cool break at the mountain village of Kintamani with its cool breeze and t he breathtaking vista of the still-active Mount Batur Volcano and its crater-lake! 

10. Pura Ulun Danu Batur

Pura Ulun Danu Batur is the second most important temple in Bali, after Pura Besakih. Built in 1926, the temple is dedicated to Dewi Danu, goddess of lakes and rivers. "Ulun Danu" literally translates as "head of the lake". Until 1926 Pura Ulun Danu and the village of Batur were located down in the caldera, at the foot of the Batur volcano. After the volcano erupted violently in 1926, both the village and the temple were destroyed except for the most important shrine, an 11-tiered meru dedicated to Dewi Batari Ulun Danu. The villagers moved to the highest and oldest rim of the caldera where they rebuilt their village and the temple.The Ulun Danu Temple and it's surroundings is one of the most popular Bali attractions for all tourists on Bali. Definitely worth your visit!
