1. Relax on Bali’s Stunning Beaches

Bali’s coastline is famous for its diversity, offering everything from golden sands to dramatic limestone cliffs.

  • Seminyak and Canggu: The hubs for luxury resorts, high-end boutiques, and iconic beach clubs.

  • Uluwatu: Famous for its world-class surf breaks and cliffside views overlooking the Indian Ocean.

  • Nusa Dua: A manicured resort area known for its calm, family-friendly waters and pristine shorelines.

2. Visit the Iconic Temples of Bali

Bali’s spiritual heritage is visible in its thousands of temples. For your 2026 visit, keep in mind that a modest dress code (sarong and sash) is mandatory at all sacred sites.

  • Tanah Lot: An ancient Hindu shrine perched on a rock formation amidst crashing waves—best visited at sunset.

  • Uluwatu Temple: Located on a steep cliff 70 meters above sea level, it is famous for its daily Kecak Fire Dance performances.

  • Tirta Empul: A holy water temple where visitors can witness or participate in traditional purification rituals.

3. Explore Ubud and the Tegallalang Rice Terraces

Ubud is the cultural heart of Bali, offering a cooler climate and a focus on art, nature, and wellness.

4. Experience Bali’s Nightlife and Beach Clubs

The social scene in Bali is legendary, ranging from laid-back sunset lounges to world-class entertainment venues.

  • Beach Clubs: Visit renowned spots like Finns, Potato Head, or La Favela for an unforgettable evening.

  • Fine Dining: Seminyak and Ubud offer some of Southeast Asia's best farm-to-table dining experiences.

5. Take a Day Trip to the Nusa Islands

A short fast-boat ride from Sanur will take you to Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, and Nusa Ceningan.


2026 Essential Travel Information

To ensure a smooth entry into Bali in 2026, please be aware of the following requirements:

  • Bali Tourism Levy: All international tourists are required to pay a mandatory tourism levy of IDR 150,000 (approx. $10 USD) per person. This can be paid online via the "Love Bali" portal before arrival.

  • Visa on Arrival (VoA): Most nationalities are eligible for a 30-day VoA, which costs IDR 500,000. It is recommended to apply for an e-VoA online 48 hours before your flight for faster processing.

  • Transportation: For the most comfortable experience, hiring a private driver for the day is the standard for tourists (approx. $40–$60 USD for 10 hours).

Best Time to Visit Bali

The dry season (May to September) offers the best weather for outdoor activities and beach days. The shoulder months (April and October) provide a great balance of pleasant weather and fewer crowds. The rainy season (November to March) is ideal for those seeking lush green landscapes and better value on luxury villa stays.
