Part 2: Best Destination in Bali for All Travelers
Not all places in Bali are destined for party goers and yogis. Some places are suitable for digital nomad, even family. Here is the rest recommendation for other travelers.
For digital nomad: Canggu
After covid, there are many people decide to be digital nomads. They work from anywhere just used laptop and great internet connection. Mostly, their salary was is Dollar, Euro, or Pound sterling. Therefore, they choose a country which life cost is lower than their own country.
One of their choices is Bali. They need places with excellent connection, many coffee shops, co-working spaces, nice yet affordable accommodation, and beaches for healing. Its Canggu, the young and hip. You will find health food stores, skate parks, street art, beach bars, and even Crossfit. And everything is nearby, so you can reach with your motorcycle.
For underwater adventurers: Amed and Tulamben
If you like to explore underwater, go to east coast of Bali. Thera are filled with snorkel and scuba sites. Chief among them are Amed and Tulamben, about 25 minutes from each other by car. Both are suitable for beginner divers yet entertaining enough for experienced underwater junkie. Be sure to hit the Amed Wall and USAT Liberty shipwreck site in Tulamben. Wildlife commonly spotted here includes reef sharks, stingrays, turtles, and corals. Manta rays are a possibility, too. It is good to stay in Amed, which is actually a string of villages, as it has more for travelers than Tulamben.
For hidden-gem hunters: Munduk and Bedugul
Do you like places that “secret” yet beautiful? Munduk and Bedugul are the answer. Few places off the radars of most visitors, so it’s quite not crowded like other places in North Bali. Many people miss Munduk’s jungle waterfalls, lake temples, coffee plantations, and rice fields. In neighboring Bedugul, you’ll find much of the same scenery, even more lake temples, golf, and a beautiful botanical garden. Accommodations in the area range from cute and affordable to slightly pricey, but nicer than you’d expect for the money.
For family: Sanur
Sanur is fit for family because it combines any activities that every family member has on their mind. If they want to do nothing, having a physical activity, or anything else. The shallow shore is sandwiched between a miles-long promenade, perfect for joggers and bike rides, and water calm enough for swimmers of all abilities. This makes it a good place to try kitesurfing, windsurfing, or just plain surfing.
You can easily go around the town on foot. There are also plenty of restaurants everyone can approve. There’s even a bit of nightlife for the big kids that’s easy enough to find if you go looking, but not something you’ll notice otherwise. Moreover, Sanur is only a 30-or-so minute drive from the airport, so the crew is less likely to be cranky on arrival after a presumably long and tiresome journey.
For culture vulture: Sidemen or Rendang
Like beaches, there are many temples in Bali. There’s only one mother temple, though, and that’s Pura Besakih. It’s the holiest Hindu site on the island and an impressive 20-plus-temple complex situated at the base of Mount Agung. You should aware of scammers. It is better if you arrange a guide in advance rather than accepting one onsite or politely decline everything being peddled on a solo visit, it’ll be a deep experience.
Staying in the village of Besakih is tricky, so it’s recommended calling Rendang or Sidemen home. Rendang is closer to the temple, about 15 minutes by car, but Sidemen, about 40 minutes away, has more going on. Famous creatives have been drawn to the district ever since German artist Walter Spies spent time there in the 1930s, many of whom stayed at his house, now a hotel. There are more places to stay in Sidemen generally, particularly if your tastes skew expensive.
For mountain freak: Kintamani
Kintamani sits at the base of Mount Batur, an active volcano in northern Bali that visitors can’t seem to quit climbing. It’s not the tallest mountain on Bali. Its highest point reaches 5,633 feet while Mount Agung, slightly southeast, gets up to 9,944 feet. However, seeing sunrise over Lake Batur at the top might be the best view on the island. And you don’t have to have Everest under your belt to climb Batur, doable in two to four hours depending on your fitness level.
When you’re not hiking, Kintamani has you covered with kayaking and canoeing, easy bike rentals, hot springs where you can soak your sore muscles, and even helicopter tours. Accommodations are generally affordable, and most come with lake views.
