The Best Bali Beaches

10 October 2016 by balivillasandmore

Bali has been attracting travellers for decades, largely due to the fantastic beaches on offer. At first it was the golden sands of the then undeveloped Kuta that attracted backpackers and adventurous surfers looking to surf the warm tropical waters. While the island has changed a lot since that time, the fantastic beaches are still a major attraction of the island. So if you’re looking for a world class surf break, a trendy beach club or an isolated stretch of beach to yourself, you can still find it all right here. From the unusual black sands of the beaches in northern Bali, to the stunning sunsets of Seminyak beach to the surf breaks and beach clubs on the Bukit Peninsula, read on to find out more with our ultimate Bali Beach Guide.

Kuta Beach is where it all started, and the golden sands and surf breaks of this beach still attract the crowds in droves. If you’re looking for an isolated stretch of sands to yourself you won’t find it here, but what you will find is surf breaks suitable for beginners, close proximity to every amenity you can need and a great holiday vibe. This stretch of beach is a crescent that stretches for about 10km all the way up the coast line to Canggu. If you’re an early riser, you’ll be able to enjoy a stroll on the beach at sunrise, and sense the calm of quieter times. As you follow the beach west towards Seminyak, you’ll come to some of the island’s famous beach clubs, including Kut De Ta and Potato Head. Enjoy a cocktail in the pool here, of hire a sun lounger on the sands. The sunsets are a simply sensational kaleidoscopic display that isn’t to be missed.

Relaxation on a Bali Beach in Kuta

A little further along the coast, you’ll find the beaches of Canggu. There are plenty of options when it comes to grabbing some refreshments here – from La Laguna Bar to the trendy Finns Beach Club to cool bamboo huts on the beach serving up ice cold Bintangs. Walk a few minutes away from the main focal points however and you’ll find a strip of sand to lay down your sarong and soak up the sun on a stretch of beach all to yourself. If surfing is your thing, the waves here are great to beginners and long boarders, and more experienced surfers will also love the waves at the famous Echo Beach.

Echo Beach Sunset

For something different, head further up this stretch of coast past Tannah Lot and head to Yeh Gengga Beach, or Kedungu Beach. Here you’ll find stretches of deserted beach, backed by palm trees and rice paddies. Off the tourist trail you’ll see traditional villages and stunning scenery on your way. Be prepared for a surprise when you get there though – black not golden sands await you.  This is a result of the volcanic rock from which the sand is formed.

Black sands on a Bali Beach – Yeh Gangga

The Bukit Peninusla, on the south of Bali is home to some of the best Bali beaches, where golden sands meet the clear blue waters of the Indian ocean. Jimbaran Bay is a great place for a sunset stroll and then to enjoy a freshly grilled fish dinner from one of the numerous fish grills on the beach. Balangan Beach is a great option for both sunbathing and surfing. Sun loungers can be rented on the golden sands and there are several warungs selling traditional Indonesian food and cool drinks. When the surf is pumping, you can still find a quiet spot for a swim too. Bingin Beach involves a climb down some serious stairs to get there but is well worth the effort. Numerous guesthouse and cafes cling to the cliffs, including the famous Cashew Tree where some of the island’s best bands can be heard getting the crowd rocking. The beach itself is fairly narrow, but the sands soft. The surf break here is fast and on a reef so not for beginners, but a lagoon on the inside of the reef can provide a great place for swimming at high tide. Dreamlands is another great option in this area, and Padang Padang again offers golden sands and world class waves. At low tide, it’s even a popular place for rock climbing on the cliffs.

Another Stunning Bai Beach - Balangan

Geger Beach in Nusa Dua is another must visit Bali beach. A wide crescent of beach, where you can hire a sun lounger or find a spot of sand for yourself and lay down on your towel. There’s an outer reef which is where the famous surf break is – boats can be hired to save you the paddle out if you’re here for the waves. The inside lagoon is always calm making it perfect for swimming, and kayaks and stand up paddle boards can also be rented here.

If you really want seclusion on the beach, head north to Amed. Here quiet villages and low-key resorts are nestled in the many bays and the pace of life is slower than in south Bali. The beaches here are sometimes black sand again, but the pay off is seclusion in an an area of truly outstanding natural beauty. The calm waters and rich marine life also make Amed the perfect area for snorkelling and scuba diving. You can rent snorkelling gear on most beaches and there are also plenty of dive schools in the area. Tulamben Shipwreck, a sunken ship from World War Two is easily accessible and is well worth a visit to dive or snorkel.  As you continue along the northern coast of Bali, you wont fail but to be impressed by the scenery as rugged volcanos rise to form a dramatic landscape as you look inland. Along the coast inviting waters and beaches are ever present. At Lovina you may be able to swim with dolphins, while the West Bali National Park in Pemuteran offers stunning secluded beach where marine and wild life abounds.

Peace and seclusion on a Bali beach in Amed

From the trendy beach clubs of Seminyak to world class surf breaks on the Bukit to the seclusion of Amed, there’s a Bali Beach for you. The hardest question is going to be ‘Which one should I visit first?’

Bonny and Gede are the best! If you want the best of Bali, these two are your guys! My husband and I booked my hotel with Bali Holidays and More, after talking to Bonny, he knew exactly what we needed - a beachfront hotel in Legian with a swim up bar and good cocktails. The Bandha is new and we loved it! And then he booked us a tour with Gede to Ubud, and he even took us to a few the most beautiufl waterfalls for photos. We love you guys, we will be back!

We used Bali Villas and More for our recent stay, we found the perfect villa for our family and would highly recommend it. After being to Bali a number of times it was such a different experience being in a Villa instead of resort. I wouldn't look back, the staff, tips and service were exceptional!!

Just got home from our amazing Bali holiday!the kids and us loved every minute of it. Perfect weather, amazing hotel, cheap food and drinks. Bali Tours And More booked the Hard Rock Hotel for us which was really great value for money and so much to do for the kids. We actually got a holiday too! Then we book snorkeling in Nusa Penida, Waterbom and Ubud tours. All great value for money and lot of fun. Really appreciate you helping us book everything, we had no idea where to start and it was good to chat during the planning process. Thanks to your team for such a great effort! We are booking again in 12 months.

Do yourself a favour and book with Bali Tours and More! I can't recommend highly enough. Everything was so seamless, from requesting the information for the tour (I did Nusa Penida incl. snorkelling departing from Bali), the booking process, the return hotel transfers and the tour itself. Nothing was overlooked and the professionalism was second to none by the tour operators. When I got back to Bali from the ferry, I accidentally went to the wrong place and missed my car back to the hotel. I made a quick call to their staff and within 5 minutes, they had organised another car to take me!! The service is amazing, I wouldn't book with anyone else. Thanks again to the whole team at Bali Tours and More!!!

I highly recommend Bali Tours and More. They have made everything an absolute breeze on both my trips to Bali. On my very first trip to Bali (on my own!), I was a bit nervous. But with Bali Tours and More, I felt truly looked after, almost as though I had a personal travel agent/concierge service! Booking was the easiest thing ever, airport transfers were personalised and reliable, and they even did live chat with me, to work out the best accommodation option for my personal needs....

We had a great experience dealing with Bali Tours and more.We did the quad bike adventure and had a ball, highly recommend booking through Bali tours and more. We did 1hour, definitely would do 2 hours next time. It was a great balance of adventure, site seeing and a little bit of adrenaline (if you wanted).Thank you.

We stayed at Villa Sirocco in Canggu and Bali Villas and More was great in assisting us to find the most amazing place to stay. Their website was easy to use and they were great in recommending places to visit and things to do during our stay. Fantastic 5 star service. Highly recommended.

We couldn’t thank them enough for everything they did for us. Bonny knows everything about Bali and more, you can ask him anything! We loved the VIP books, and especially since a lot of the restaurants were on my list to try.

The helicopter ride to the Gilis was amazing - apart from the scenery and the convenience the thing I dread most is the drive from Canggu to Padang Bai. Avoiding all the traffic and waiting and simply getting into a helicopter was a whole new experience. Bali Tours and more did a great job with everything, I had a few custom requests. Especially Bonny was extremely helpful in accommodating all of my needs. He even answered my messages long after working hours - extremely helpful. Will definitely book again with them!

I have used Bali hotels and more several times. Always delivering above and beyond. I have always been extremely happy with the quality of the accommodation I have booked with them. They always go that little extra to help with all your needs. Friendly, reliable, true professionals with local knowledge and impeccable service.

I never want to leave! We have the best ever Bali holiday. Thanks so much to Bali holidays for organising all the tours. The Ubud cycle was amazing and then the jungle swing and Bird park were just beautiful. Thanks for helping me choose 2 great hotels and getting me around the Island. So much easier your team doing it as I actually got to relax and that is what I wanted out of my holiday. Thanks so much to Gede the tour guide and Bonny for helping to book everything. See you soon team!

Thanks to this entire team for making our Bali holiday wonderful! I found them on Facebook, and I was skeptical because they seemed so new, but they do everything…. it sounds too good to be true. We had excellent services and recommendations, and then the free airport transfers with our villa booking was just the icing on the cake. We ended up booking a day with surf lessons and the Kecek Dance, with dinner at El Kabron after. It was all perfect and so easy to enjoy bc everything was taken care of for us!
