Forested volcanic mountains, iconic rice paddies and gorgeous beaches, the breathtaking beauty of Indonesia that is Bali hardly needs any introduction. The idyllic touristy island is brimming with stunning and wonderful treasures that will have you and your camera busy for some drool-worthy shots.
Sitting atop a dramatic rock formation, surrounded by the turquoise waters of the wide-open seas, Pura Tanah Lot is among the island's most iconic temples — one that is sure to leave you gazing in awe with its mind-blowing beauty. The striking sea temple is revered as one of the most sacred places of worship by the locals, but for the tourists to the Indonesian island, it is a sight that many count on to give their fill of breathtaking views, and never have and never will the scenic cultural icon leave the longing eyes disappointed.
A short drive up north from the main Ubud town centre is an unmissable sight in Bali — the breathtaking, verdant Tegallalang Rice Terraces — undoubtedly one of the soul-relaxing views one could take on the idyllic Indonesian island. Dreamy, paradisiacal, mind-blowingly gorgeous — not even all of these beautiful adjectives combined would do justice in describing the scenery that you can see here. Expect immersive contemplation with a loss for words!
Nestled high away in the mountainous region of Bali, Banyumala Twin Waterfall is sure to offer heaps of fantastic captures that will have people drooling on your 'gram. Unlike most other waterfalls on the island of Bali, Banyumala is far less visited and not something that lands on many tourist itineraries, which probably has to do with the considerably long drive from many main town centres and the less-than-easy trek involved in getting to the falls. This means only one thing — the courageous few who choose to take on the adventure are treated to pristine, untouched nature, undisturbed tranquillity, and of course, awe-inspiring pics for the 'gram.
Perched atop a cliff so dramatically, overlooking the turquoise blue ocean, and rivalling the charms of the aforementioned Pura Tanah Lot is the striking Uluwatu Temple. By day, the temple is breathtakingly set against the combined backdrop of azure skies and turquoise waters, but come the sunset and its profusion of yellowish-orange shades, it is absolutely mind-blowing.
The tropical island of Bali is ringed by nothing but a string of picture-postcard beaches, inviting you to savour a slice of sun, sand and sea on the idyllic island. Kuta Beach is arguably one of the most incredible beaches, conveniently set about an hour's drive away from the Ubud main centre and the Ubud Bali villas for sale offered by the likes of Anantara Ubud Bali Villas.
