First up we have Nusa Penida. If you’ve never heard of this place then you’ve not done your research right… Nusa Penida is a small island just off the coast of Bali.

Look out at the deep blue ocean, luscious greenery and the white sandy beaches below. If you’re looking for an insta worthy snapshot then this is it!

Next up we have Ubud. If jungle life is for you then visiting this little slice of paradise in Bali is an absolute must! Full of greenery, monkeys and lots of rice fields, this is the perfect spot to get lost in Nature. Of course it is also home to one of our favourite viewpoints that you can find at the famous Tegalalang Rice Terraces. You know… the one where you can sit on a swing and enjoy the best view from up high?? If you don’t know, then get to know! It’s a stunning one for sure.

Early risers and adventure seekers, this one's for you! If climbing Mt. Batur in Bali isn’t on your bucket list then think again and add it now. Even with the 2am start, the basic breakfast and the uphill hike in the dark, this is an absolute must do experience we could not recommend enough. The vibes and views are totally worth it.
