This is my second edition of travelling to Bali, and yes, I love it so much that I already know there will be a third! After 3 days in Yogyakarta, we spent 8 days exploring Bali, but this time around we explored different places in Bali. In my first edition, I covered everything we did, saw, experienced and ate in the cultural heart of Bali, Ubud, and the lively, energetic and party-loving Seminyak.
This time, I wanted to explore a completely different side of the island, the beautiful beaches and luxury resorts of Nusa Dua, the trendy, vibrant and ever-evolving coastal neighbourhood of Canggu, and, beyond Bali’s shores, the dramatic landscapes and breathtaking coastal views of Nusa Penida. We also added an unforgettable adventure of snorkelling in Manta Bay, where we got the chance to see the magnificent manta rays in their natural surroundings.
To give you a better idea of where these places are, how they are connected, and how we explored them, I’ve put together the infographic below. Hopefully, it will make it easier to visualise this part of our Bali journey beyond Ubud and Seminyak and help you plan your own adventure around the island and its neighbouring islands.

Day 1 – Hello, Bali Beyond Ubud and Seminyak
Leaving Java behind, we arrived in Nusa Dua, ready to experience a completely different side of Indonesia. From Ngurah Rai International Airport, it took about half an hour to reach our hotel.
We divided our 8-day stay in Bali between two different areas and properties. For Days 1–4, we stayed at Giri Bhagwan Villas in Nusa Dua, and for Days 5–8, we moved to ZIN Canggu in Canggu. This allowed us to experience both the peaceful, resort-style atmosphere of Nusa Dua and the vibrant, laid-back vibe of Canggu.
Giri Bhagawan Villas & Spa
After checking into Giri Bhagawan Villas & Spa, we spent the rest of the afternoon doing exactly what a Bali holiday calls for, slowing down. We relaxed by the pool, wandered around the resort and simply enjoyed our new surroundings.
Giri Bhagawan Villas & Spa is a beautiful property tucked away in the peaceful Taman Giri area of Nusa Dua. With just 11 private pool villas, the resort has a quiet and intimate feel. Guests can choose from one, two or three-bedroom villas, making it a great option whether you’re travelling as a couple, with family or with a group of friends. Each villa comes with its own private pool and is surrounded by lush tropical greenery, making it the perfect place to unwind. The resort also has an outdoor restaurant overlooking the pool, complete with a beautiful ceremonial gate that’s often used for weddings and other special occasions. Giri Bhagawan Villas & Spa is part of the same hospitality group as Maca Villas & Spa Seminyak and Maca Villas & Spa Umalas.
Zin Canggu
ZIN Canggu is an upscale stay located very close to Batu Bolong Beach in Canggu. We booked one of their private-pool villas, which gave us a completely private and comfortable experience. The villa was spacious, beautifully designed and perfect for our family. The kids absolutely loved having a pool of their own and could spend the entire day jumping, swimming, playing and having the time of their lives, while we could relax and enjoy the privacy. It was the perfect combination of luxury, comfort and family-friendly fun.
The property also offers stylish apartments, ZIN Café & Restaurant, a spa and a dedicated working space, making it suitable for both holidays and longer stays. Its location is another big advantage, with Batu Bolong Beach, cafés, restaurants and Canggu’s vibrant atmosphere all close by. For us, the private villa and pool made the stay especially memorable and one of the highlights of our Bali trip.

For more properties in the same budget range as Giri Bhagwan and Zin Canggu, a few have been mentioned below for your reference. 1. Mazari Villas, Uluwatu We really loved the Greek-inspired design, with the all-white aesthetic creating a beautiful, minimalist, and luxurious feel. The fact that every villa also has a private pool was a big plus. 2. Jellyfish Villas, Bingin/Uluwatu We liked the overall vibe and the location in Bingin, which felt stylish and relaxed. It was a strong option, but we eventually decided on other properties that suited our preferences better. From Nusa Dua, it is roughly 13–15 km, around 30–45 minutes by car 3. WakaGangga, Tabanan WakaGangga is a lovely choice if you want a quieter side of Bali. Set by a black-sand beach and surrounded by rice fields, it’s peaceful and away from the crowds. It’s around 35–45 minutes from Canggu and about 30 minutes from Tanah Lot, making it a great place to slow down and relax. However, the main drawback for us was that the villas don’t have private pools, which was an important preference. |
After exploring the resort, we had a look through the spa menu, mentally bookmarking a few treatments for later, before heading back to our villa. I was especially obsessed with the tropical open-air bathroom, it had that classic Bali villa feel, and the sunset views from our villa were simply stunning. After a refreshing shower, we got ready for our first dinner in Nusa Dua.
Bali Collection
After our hotel recommended Bali Collection for our first evening, we decided to check it out. Located within the Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) area of Nusa Dua, Bali Collection is an open-air shopping and dining complex with around 67 outlets, including restaurants, cafés, shops, spas, salons and other lifestyle businesses. It is a popular spot for tourists staying in the many resorts around Nusa Dua, especially if you want to step out of the hotel for dinner, a little shopping or some pampering.
The place has a polished, upscale feel, with plenty of restaurants and shops selling everything from local souvenirs and handicrafts to fashion and lifestyle products, including some discounted branded goods. It’s quite different from the Bali I had imagined, I was expecting something more laid-back, local and a little more chaotic.
But after travelling from Yogyakarta and arriving in Bali, it actually worked well for our first evening. It was convenient, easy to walk around, had plenty of options for food and shopping, and was close to our hotel. Not exactly the Bali vibe we had come looking for, but a comfortable way to ease into our first night in Nusa Dua.
Day 2 – A Lazy Beach Day in Nusa Dua
Balinese massage
We woke up leisurely to have breakfast in our room. After lazying around much, Sidd and I headed for our full body Balinese massage.
Now the thing with Balinese massage that differentiates it from other massages is it’s not really one set technique, it’s basically Bali’s greatest hits, borrowed and remixed over centuries. Bits of Chinese acupressure, a dash of Indian Ayurveda, all folded into something that ended up completely its own thing. You get firm thumb and palm pressure one minute, long slow strokes the next, plus warm oils that make you forget you have a schedule. Less “massage,” more “full-body unplug.
Manarai Beach Club
After enjoying an hour of relaxing massage, we decided to wake up the kids to take them to a beach club. A property of Sofitel Nusa Dua, Manarai Beach Club is a popular spot for tourists looking to enjoy the perks of a tropical beach club along with the beautiful Nusa Dua beach.
We spent pretty much the entire day here doing exactly what a beach day calls for, lounging on beach beds, sipping on fresh coconut water, diving into the pool and munching on some great food. Just that: lounge, sip, dive, munch, repeat.
It isn’t quite as vibey as Potato Head, which we visited on our previous trip to Bali, but Manarai has a more relaxed, easy-going atmosphere. And the beach itself was inviting enough that we couldn’t resist heading down when the tide was low. We spent some time crab hunting and found plenty of tiny crabs bobbing up and down in the wet sand. A surprisingly fun way to spend a lazy afternoon.
Note: The beach beds at Manarai cost IDR 1 million for the ones right by the beach, while the ones further back cost IDR 500,000. The good part is that this amount can be redeemed against food and drinks while you’re there. They also serve shisha, if that’s your thing.
All in all, Manarai was more about enjoying a proper, unhurried beach day, and sometimes, that’s exactly what you want in Bali.
Dinner at Jimbaran beach
I’d heard that Menega Cafe on Jimbaran Beach is very popular for its seafood grill, so after spending the day at the beach club, we decided to head there for a beachside dinner. Jimbaran, on the southern coast of Bali, is known for its beautiful stretch of beach, gorgeous sunsets and, most famously, its seafood restaurants that line the shore. The area is especially known for its grilled seafood, or ikan bakar, with fresh fish, prawns, lobster, crab and calamari served with rice and spicy Balinese sambals.
Menega is by the Four Seasons, so it seemed to have a standing of its own, and it was quite evident because all the other restaurants weren’t nearly as busy as this one. The restaurants were laid out side by side along the coastline, with yellow fairy lights dotting the shore in the blanket of darkness that made it almost impossible to tell where the sea ended and the sand began. Every table was set up with a candle, and we could see huge platters of seafood on almost every table around us.
We went with the butter garlic prawns and a fish fry, while the kids had their seafood nasi goreng. Sitting there with the sound of the waves, candlelit tables and plates of freshly grilled seafood, we were reminded of the days we spent in Goa in our 20s. Life had somehow come a full circle, from those carefree days in Goa to sitting by the sea again, this time with our kids in tow.
Pro tip: If you’re in Jimbaran on a Friday, check out the Sunset BBQ at Coconut Grove, Four Seasons Bali. Fresh seafood grilled over coconut husks, Balinese sambals, live fire dancers and a gorgeous sunset make it a memorable evening. |
Day 3 - Taman Safari: The Day We Almost Skipped
Honestly, we weren't very keen on including a safari and zoo day in our Bali itinerary. With beaches, snorkelling, waterfalls and so many other things to do, a day at a zoo wasn't exactly at the top of our list. But the kids really insisted, and after being convinced by the number of positive reviews, we finally decided to take a break from the beaches and water activities and head to Taman Safari Bali. And I have to say, it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. What we thought would be just another day at a zoo ended up being one of the highlights of our entire Bali trip. The moment you enter, it feels more like stepping into a tropical jungle than a conventional zoo, with hundreds of animals from more than 100 species.
We started with the Safari Journey, climbing aboard the safari tram for a roughly 30-minute ride through different wildlife habitats, where we saw lions, tigers, elephants, rhinos, zebras and plenty of other animals roaming around. We then added the 4×4 Jeep Safari, which made the experience even more exciting as we had a private safari adventure and could get much closer to the animals, including the opportunity to feed some of the herbivores under the guidance of a ranger. There are also animal feeding experiences with giraffes, elephants, meerkats and pygmy hippos, as well as encounters with animals such as orangutans, binturongs, iguanas and snakes. The park also has the Tiger Educational Presentation and Elephant Conservation & Education Presentation, so there is plenty to keep the kids entertained while also teaching them about the animals.
By lunchtime, we were absolutely famished, and that's when we headed to the Tsavo Lion Restaurant, easily one of the most unusual dining experiences we've had. This African-themed restaurant sits right beside the lion enclosure, with huge glass windows allowing you to watch the pride moving around while you eat. Imagine sitting down for lunch and having a lion casually pacing just metres away from you! 😂 The park also has other dining options and even Varuna Underwater Dining, while the little ones can burn off some energy at the Water Play Zone and Fun Zone, with rides including a spinning coaster, flume ride and other attractions.
And the day still wasn't over! We watched the live theatrical Bali Agung performance, a spectacular cultural show bringing Balinese myths, legends and traditions to life, before continuing around the park. There is also a Balinese traditional market, Peken Bali, more animal encounters and feeding sessions, the Crocodile Feeding Show, elephant experiences and, if you want to stay into the evening, a Night Safari with a specially designed tram, animal encounters, a fire show and dinner. Looking back, I'm genuinely glad the kids insisted on this day.
We went expecting a zoo visit and came away with a full day of safari, wildlife, culture, food and entertainment, and that is exactly why Taman Safari Bali deserves more than just a few hours on your Bali itinerary.
Day 4 - The Magic of Nusa Penida
If there was one day that completely lived up to the hype, it was our trip to Nusa Penida. Today was one of the most exciting days of our Bali trip, almost 10 hours of snorkeling, island exploring and adventure. The highlight was undoubtedly swimming with manta rays at Manta Bay, along with colourful fish, coral reefs and sea turtles. It was a little rushed and crowded at times, but still an unforgettable experience.
I’ve written a detailed post on our Nusa Penida day trip, covering the cost, how we booked it, what the tour included, the snorkeling spots, Kelingking Beach, what we loved and what we’d do differently. If you’re planning a Nusa Penida trip, this one has all the details you’ll need, read the full post here -
The Day We Swam With Manta Rays
The afternoon took us beneath the surface as we snorkelled at Manta Bay, Gamat Bay and Crystal Bay. Floating above colourful coral reefs surrounded by tropical marine life was one of those experiences that made the world feel wonderfully small and beautifully connected.
Day 5 - Ulluwatu & the Kecak Fire Dance
After the adventures of the previous day, it was obvious that we were going to sleep in! We woke up really late, just in time to catch the last breakfast sitting. Thankfully, we had kept this day fairly relaxed, with only the Kecak dance show at sunset on our agenda.
Our guide, booked through GetYourGuide, had advised us to meet him at the entrance of Uluwatu Temple at 4 pm sharp. We decided to have lunch at Mana, just a two-minute drive from the temple. I had picked Mana mainly for its spectacular rooftop views of the Indian Ocean, a stunning infinity pool and it turned out to be a great choice. After a sumptuous lunch of tacos, prawn miso ramen, pepperoni pizza and fresh young coconut, we were ready to head to Uluwatu.
Uluwatu Temple is one of Bali’s most iconic temples, perched dramatically on a cliff about 70 metres above the Indian Ocean. The combination of the ancient temple, rugged cliffs and endless ocean views makes it one of the most spectacular places to visit in Bali, especially around sunset.
It is also notoriously famous for its monkeys! The monkeys that live around the temple are known for being rather bold and have a reputation for snatching visitors’ belongings, from caps and sunglasses to phones and other loose items. So, keeping your belongings safely tucked away is definitely a good idea.
The GetYourGuide tour made the whole experience quite smooth and, importantly, ensured that we got good seats in the open-air amphitheatre for the Kecak dance. If you’re going for the 6 pm sunset show, I’d recommend getting there by around 5:15 pm because the auditorium fills up quickly. There is another show at 7 pm if you miss the sunset performance, but tickets tend to sell out, so booking in advance is definitely advisable.
The Kecak dance is a Balinese interpretation of the Ramayana, brought to life through dramatic costumes, chanting, music, fire and a generous dose of theatrical humour. Set against the backdrop of the setting sun and the ocean, the one-hour performance was a fantastic way to experience a little of Bali’s culture while enjoying one of its most spectacular sunsets. As the sun set below the horizon, we watched the mesmerising Kecak Fire Dance. The rhythmic chanting, flickering flames and dramatic setting combined to create one of the most memorable cultural experiences of our journey.
Dinner afterwards was at Made's Bakery, which was enroute. The bakery is the ground floor attached to a large indoor play area for kids, while the first floor is an open air terrace under a thatched roof which doubles up as a restaurant. They serve the most delicious dumplings, shakshuka and pita with hummus. It was the perfect ending to an unforgettable day.
Day 6 - ATV, Rafting & a Little Chaos
Some of the best travel memories come from embracing a little chaos.
This day was again another adventure- and adrenaline-filled day! We started with river rafting in the morning, followed by an ATV tour in the afternoon, and by evening we were exploring Ubud and its wonderful flea market.
River Rafting
We booked both adventures through GetYourGuide. Our river rafting experience was on the Ayung River, one of Bali’s most popular rivers for white-water rafting. We first assembled at the meeting point in Ubud, where we were given our safety jackets, instructions and introduced to our guide. From there, an open tuk-tuk-cum-trailer took us to the starting point, followed by a trek down the hill to reach the riverside.
And then the adrenaline kicked in! The moment we hit the water, the fun began. With waves and rapids at different points, beautiful jungle scenery all around and stone walls carved with intricate temple figures along the river, the whole experience was mesmerising. At some of the rougher stretches, the water got quite wild and we came pretty close to falling into the river! There was a short break for refreshments along the way, and altogether it was about two hours of pure fun, rush, gush and excitement.
The only thing I would keep in mind, especially for older travellers or anyone with mobility issues, is the trek back up after the rafting. It took us around 20 minutes and can be tiring after an already active experience.
ATV Adventure
The afternoon was all about getting muddy! The ATV tour was at a different location in Ubud, so we drove to the designated meeting point after lunch. Once there, we were given a safety briefing and protective gear before getting onto the ATVs. The trails take you through Bali’s countryside, with a mix of jungle paths, village tracks, rice fields, muddy trails, water crossings and uneven terrain. It’s not just riding around a fixed circuit, the changing terrain is what makes the experience so much fun.
I’ll admit, the ATV was much heavier and harder to manoeuvre than I expected, and the first few minutes were spent figuring out the controls. But once I got the hang of it, I was off! And with a kid in tow, it was super crazy but super fun too. We drove through muddy trails, splashed through knee-deep slush, tackled bumpy stretches and basically threw muck everywhere. It was messy, chaotic and completely exhilarating, the kind of adventure where you come back looking nothing like you did when you started!
By the time we finished both activities, we were exhausted but absolutely buzzing. And with the evening still ahead, we headed into Ubud to explore its lively flea market, a perfect, much slower-paced ending to an otherwise action-packed day.
Casa Luna, Ubud
We had dinner at Casa Luna in the heart of Ubud, on Jl. Raya Ubud, and really enjoyed the relaxed, warm ambience. The restaurant has a lovely open feel with plenty of greenery, making it a peaceful escape from the busy streets outside.
The Spiced Jalapeño cocktail was excellent, and the brownie with vanilla ice cream was absolutely delicious. They also served us complimentary bread, which was a lovely touch. Overall, a great place for a relaxed dinner while exploring central Ubud.
Day 7 - The Bali Experience We Missed: Ulun Danu Beratan Temple
One place we unfortunately missed on this trip was Ulun Danu Beratan Temple. From Canggu, it’s roughly a 1 to 1½ hour drive each way, depending on traffic, and with everything else we wanted to see and do, we decided that spending so much time on the road wasn’t worth it this time. But honestly, this is one place I would recommend adding to your Bali itinerary if you have the time.
Located beside the beautiful Lake Beratan in the cool Bedugul highlands, Ulun Danu Beratan is one of those places that looks almost unreal. The iconic temple appears to float on the lake, surrounded by mountains, mist and beautifully landscaped gardens, witness it in the image below. At around 1,200–1,500 metres above sea level, this part of Bali is also noticeably cooler than the beaches around Canggu and Seminyak.
What makes the temple even more special is that Ulun Danu Beratan is actually a temple complex with four important sacred temples, associated with Dewi Danu, the goddess of water, lakes and rivers, as well as Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma. The lake itself is also hugely important to the surrounding agricultural region because its water feeds the irrigation systems and helps keep the land fertile.
And if you’re going all the way up to Bedugul, I’d definitely make a day of it rather than driving all that way just for the temple. Combine Ulun Danu Beratan with Banyumala Twin Waterfalls, where you can swap Bali’s tropical heat for cool mountain air and a refreshing waterfall surrounded by lush greenery.
Two beautiful waterfalls surrounded by lush greenery, with a clear natural pool at the bottom.
I wish we had managed to fit this into our Canggu days, because this is exactly the kind of Bali experience I love, a completely different landscape from the beaches, cafés and beach clubs down south.
So what did we actually do on this day?
Nothing too planned, and honestly, that was the whole point! We started the day with a relaxing Balinese massage and a swim, followed by a luxurious tropical breakfast filled with fresh fruits and delicious local delicacies. We then explored Canggu on foot, wandered through its colourful streets, stopped every few minutes to admire the incredible graffiti and street art, and poked our noses into almost every nook and cranny, shop and little outlet we came across. Somewhere along the way, we stopped for a slushie, stumbled upon a Korean restaurant and tucked into some delicious ramen and dumplings, before heading down to Batu Bolong Beach to chill at a beachfront café with cocktails. It was one of those wonderfully unplanned days where we simply walked, ate, browsed, people-watched and enjoyed Canggu at our own pace.
Lola's Cantina Mexicana
We had dinner at Lola’s Cantina Mexicana on the Canggu Shortcut and loved it! The vibe is fun, colourful and lively, making it a great place for a relaxed evening. We tried the chicken tacos and absolutely loved them. It’s a popular restaurant and often full, so make a reservation in advance.
Day 8 - Shopping Love and Batu Bolong Beach
Shopping
Honestly, after all the adventures of the previous few days, I was exhausted. All I wanted was a lazy day, some sunshine, a few photos, a little street shopping and absolutely no more activities! 😂 Thankfully, the agenda for our second-last day was officially set.
If you’re around Ubud or Canggu, make some time for Bali’s famous art markets and bazaars. Don’t expect art galleries, these are colourful, lively markets packed with Bali-made clothes, resort wear, jewellery, woven bags, handicrafts, home décor and quirky souvenirs. Bargaining is part of the fun, so negotiate with a smile! In Canggu, Love Anchor Bazaar on Jalan Pantai Batu Bolong is great for bohemian clothing, swimwear, jewellery and artisanal finds, while Ubud Art Market, opposite the Royal Palace, offers that more traditional Bali market experience.
But here’s something I quickly realised: not all Bali shopping is bargain shopping! Alongside the markets are gorgeous boutiques selling beautifully designed Indonesian clothing, resort wear, jewellery, homeware and natural beauty products, often at considerably higher prices. So whether you’re hunting for a bargain or convincing yourself that you definitely need another linen dress, Bali has you covered.
For me, though, the street markets won. There’s something so much fun about wandering around with no plan, bargaining over things you absolutely don’t need and somehow returning to the hotel with a bag full of them. After days of adventure, this was exactly the slow, lazy Bali day I needed.
Batu Bolong Beach
The last evening was spent wandering down to Batu Bolong Beach, one of Canggu’s most popular stretches of coast and the heart of its laid-back surf scene. We watched surfers catch the waves, walked along the black volcanic sand, soaked in the lively beach atmosphere and, of course, stayed for the spectacular Bali sunset. It is also where you’ll find the iconic Pura Batu Bolong temple, perched beside the beach. For eating, The Lawn Canggu Beach Club is a great choice for a sunset meal or drinks right by the beach. If you prefer something more casual, Times Beach Warung is another good beachfront option.
⭐ Right on Batu Bolong, Mason is a great little spot for a relaxed meal. Think delicious grilled meats, wood-fired dishes and flatbreads in a stylish but easy-going setting. Nothing too fancy, just good food and a nice place to sit and unwind after exploring Canggu.
⭐ Located on Batu Bolong, Luma is a beautiful restaurant if you fancy something a little more special. The menu has a Mediterranean touch, with plenty of fresh seafood and wood-fired dishes. Sit back and enjoy the gorgeous setting , this is definitely not a place to rush through your meal.
That evening, we gathered for a farewell dinner at Penny Lane, one of Canggu’s gorgeous and most Instagram-worthy restaurants. With its quirky décor, lush tropical setting and vibrant atmosphere, it felt like the perfect place to end our Bali adventure over good food, drinks and plenty of laughter.
More things to do:
⭐ Garuda Wisnu Cultural Park
I’d definitely recommend adding Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK) Cultural Park to your Bali itinerary. Located in Ungasan, in South Bali, about 20–30 minutes from Nusa Dua, this massive cultural park is home to the impressive 121-metre-tall statue of Vishnu riding Garuda, along with Balinese performances, cultural attractions and beautiful views. It’s an easy stop to combine with Nusa Dua, Uluwatu or the southern beaches.
⭐ Devdan Show, Nusa Dua
A spectacular cultural show in Nusa Dua featuring traditional Indonesian dance, music, costumes and acrobatics. A great evening experience if you want to see a different side of Bali.
⭐ Puppy Yoga in Bali
A fun and relaxing experience in Canggu, combining a gentle yoga session with adorable puppies and refreshing drinks. Perfect for animal lovers and a fun change from Bali’s usual activities.
Final Thoughts
Bali gave us so much more than beautiful places. It was our second time here in Indonesia, and somehow, we still couldn’t get enough of it. After 3 days in Yogyakarta, we spent 8 days exploring Bali and we fell in love with the island all over again, not just for its incredible experiences and breathtaking landscapes, but for its kind, generous and hospitable people. Looking back, it wasn’t only the temples, beaches or waterfalls that stayed with us, but the little things, the slower and adventurous pace of life, the laughter we shared, the warmth of the people and those quiet moments in between. It reminded us that the best journeys aren’t about how many places you tick off, but about the memories and feelings you carry home with you.
