Bali Bucket List: 05 Epic Things to Do in Bali - Quintessential tropical island basking

Indonesia's undisputed holiday island, Bali, hardly needs any introduction, with its many island visitors treated to a plethora of blissful things to do, making for a quintessential tropical island experience. Come — explore and discover what the popularly paradisiacal island has in store for you.

1

Beach bumming at Nyang Nyang Beach - A slice of sun, sand and sea in tropical paradise

Bali’s beaches may not be talked about as much as its looming volcanoes and lush terraced rice fields, but the white sandy shores and turquoise blue waters that wrap the island are also just as fantastic. Nyang Nyang Beach in Uluwatu is not only one of the most beautiful stretches of sand on the island but also one of the most secluded slices of beach. Nyang Nyang Beach is truly an oasis of serenity amidst the vibrant hotspot.

Go shop at Sukawati Art Market - An authentic souvenir or two to take back home

Shopping for traditional and authentic souvenirs is a quintessential part of any holiday experience, and Bali is certainly not without this customary leisure activity. The central Ubud Market may steal the limelight when it comes to shopping on the tropical island, but for a cheaper, laid-back alternative free from bustling crowds, Sukawati Art Market makes the perfect shopping destination. Browse through the market’s striking handcrafted artworks galore and pick up a souvenir or two to take back home.

Take in the views at Uluwatu Temple - Mind-blowing seaside scenery overlooking the tropical blue

Perched atop a seaside cliff so dramatically, overlooking the wide-open tropical blue, Uluwatu Temple is, without a doubt, one of the most unmissable destinations to be on your Bali itinerary. Take in the mind-blowing seaside scenery surrounding the sea temple and retreat to one of the fine hotels in town, perhaps an elegant surf resort in Bali, including the likes of Anantara Uluwatu Bali, and call it a day.

Trek to Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfall - Oodles of nature and beauty, yours to savour

The tropical island of Bali sure is home to a whole host of breathtaking waterfalls, among which Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfall could be described as a contender that still remains, more or less, under the radar, with the falls being opened to the public just recently. The journey to the waterfall is also not the easiest, involving a 90-minute drive from central Ubud and a winding 20-minute hike through a scenic banana plantation, making the trek to the falls also an adventure in itself. While getting to the waterfall certainly is no effortless experience, you can rest assured that it definitely wouldn’t be in vain.

Embark on an exciting hike to Mount Batur - An adventurous treat for the adventurous soul

Craving a bit of adventure? Unleash your inner adventurer on an exciting hike to Mount Batur — to the bound of Bali’s fabled 5,600-foot volcanic marvel. The ascent to the hilltop involves nothing short of 2 hours, and needless to say, the views at the top are breathtaking, to say the least.
