Best Places to stay in Bali
The following section will tell you more about the different places you can find in Bali. We’ll give you some information about the different parts of the island so that you can find the perfect place for your trip to Bali.
Amed

Amed is one of the least known places in Bali. Nevertheless, or perhaps because of that, this is one of the most beautiful and natural parts of Bali. If you are looking for tranquility, relaxation, and beach, Amed is just right for you. In good weather, you can even look up from this coastal town to Lombok or enjoy the surrounding nature. If you are looking for clubs and party, you might rather stay in another part of Bali.
Attractions near Amed
- Beach
- Amed Ship Wreck
- Lempuyang Temple
- Tirta Gangga
Canggu
Canggu also offers wonderful beaches and typical Bali vibe. With its more central location, it is less secluded than Amed and therefore more crowded. If you are looking for party, you can also find 1-2 clubs, but anyway, Canggu is not really a party destination. Those who like to be active, find many offers for surfing or for yoga lessons. But also foodies will love Canggu.
Attractions near Canggu
- Beach
- Tanah Lot Temple
- Petitenget Temple
Denpasar

Denpasar, the island’s largest city, is perfect for those who like to stay near the airport. There are many old markets here (Denpasar translates as New Market), like the huge Pasar Badung, where you can find everything you could look for in Bali. Furthermore, there are some temples and even a Catholic church.
Attractions near Denpasar
- Bali Orchid Garden
- Puri Pemecutan
- Pasar Badung (Market)
- Airport
- Renon Square
Kuta
Kuta is located in the south of the island of the gods and offers one thing above all: party. Here you will find a huge selection of restaurants, bars, and clubs. You’ll also find a huge selection of international dishes. If you want to surf, Kuta is a great destination in Bali to do so. However, the beach is often overcrowded with garbage, especially during the monsoon season.
Attractions near Kuta
- Beach
- Kuta Square
- St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church
Lovina

Lovina is located in the north of Bali and is mainly known for its seaside and beach. Unlike the beaches in the south of the island, this beach is far quieter and less crowded. Although the rather gray lava beaches are not heavenly dream beaches, they are perfect for swimming with their shallow waters. The name Lovina is composed of the words Love and Indonesia.
Attractions near Lovina
- Beach
- Sing-Sing Waterfall
- Brahma Vihara Arama
- Air Panas Banjar Hot Springs
- Git Git Waterfall
Nusa Penida
Nusa Penida is not actually Bali anymore, but a small island southeast of Bali. However, as the island is becoming increasingly popular with Bali travelers, we have decided to include it in this list. The journey from Bali to Nusa Penida can be done in 30 minutes by speedboat.
Nusa Penida is full of beautiful dreamy beaches where you can relax and watch breathtaking sunsets. Nusa Penida is also popular for its snorkeling spots, where you can even snorkel with manta rays.
Attractions on Nusa Penida
- Beach
- Snorkeling Spots
- Crystal Bay
- Goa Giri Putri
Seminyak
Seminyak is slowly developing to become the trendy part of Bali in recent years. Many accommodations here are more in the upscale price range. Although many bars and clubs can be found here, it is much quieter here than in Kuta. Real sightseeing spots cannot be found here, but Seminyak is a good starting point for excursions and day trips over the island. This part of Bali is suitable for anyone looking for relaxation, luxury or surfing.
Attractions near Seminyak
- Beach
Ubud
Ubud is considered the cultural capital of the island. Here you will probably not only find most of the attractions of the island, but also many tourists. Despite everything, Ubud should not be missed on any Bali itinerary. With its traditional architecture and its temples, Ubud offers the typical Bali feeling that we know from the movies and social media.
Attractions near Ubud
- Rice terraces
- several temples
- Ubud Monkey Forest
- Goa Gajah Temple
- Mount Batur
Uluwatu
Uluwatu is located in the south of the island and is especially famous for the temple of the same name, where the legendary Kecak dances take place. The name Uluwatu can be translated as rock end, and that’s exactly what you find here. The cliffs offer a wonderful view over the coast. Many surfers come here too, although the surf spots are not really suitable for beginners.
Attractions near Uluwatu
- Uluwatu Temple
- Beach
- Cliffs
- Jimbaran Fish Market
