10 Free Things to do in Bali That You Shouldn't Miss

December 19, 2021 Marlin Saiz

Bali is a living postcard, an Indonesian paradise that feels like a fantasy. Soak up the sun on a stretch of fine white sand, or commune with the tropical creatures as you dive along coral ridges or the colorful wreck of a WWII war ship. On shore, the lush jungle shelters stone temples and mischievous monkeys. The “artistic capital” of Ubud is the perfect place to see a cultural dance performance, take a batik or silver-smithing workshop, or invigorate your mind and body in a yoga class.

Very interesting and high quality range of beautiful Art pieces at Purpa ! We bought 2 paintings, one on site and a second about a week after leaving Bali. Ari and Sebastien are sincere and engaging. They love Art and were very warm and friendly in sharing their knowledge and helping us to choose our paintings Ari was very professional and helpful in helping arrange and monitor the delivery of our second painting by courier. We are very happy with our experience with Purpa and intend to visit Ari and Sebastien again this year :)

Campuhan Ridge Walk

The Campuhan Ridge Walk is arguably the best known Ubud trek and with good reason. The sparse crowds and the aesthetically rich vistas remind one of why people from around the world come to Bali. The trail starts at the historical origin of Ubud, the confluence (or Campuhan) of the Wos Rivers.

Reviewed By Ornela_Dxb - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Although not often mentioned in travel guides, The Ridge walk was, for us, the most memorable part of exploring Ubud. A long walk through the rice fields, with magnificent sceneries, rice fields, and quiet villages was such a great escape from hustle and bustle of the Ubud city center. The day we have visited wasn't overly hot and in fact, we had a heavy shower along the way which was actually really nice and romantic. We stopped in Karsa cafe for an organic juice and one more spectacular and tranquil view on lotus-filled pond and rice fields. If you feel like it, massage service is available too. Don't forget a good pair of shoes and umbrella! A fantastic day we will remember forever!

Jemeluk Beach

Reviewed By Pytheas_the_Aussie - Brisbane, Australia

Jemeluk Bay is incredible. There is amazing coral within a few meters of the beach - just walk in and start snorkelling. Lots of tropical fish. You do not need a boat so you decide when you go and finish. Re Since the beach is volcanic - black sand and lots of pebbles - recommend wear river shoes to protect the feet. Make sure you see the underwater temple, marked by a yellow flag

Reviewed By AlexFlow42 - Asiago, Italy

A beach with white sand, open to the sea, with crystalline waters, big and to be able to enjoy, with care, the waves and the swimming. Not that it is the best beach in the area, but the area is surely worth discovering and getting lost. For us from the best areas of Bali.
