Jimbaran Bay

Jimbaran Bay

Grilled fish, cold drinks, sand between your toes while the sun goes down. I know which warung has the best table. It is not the first one you see.

Padang Padang Beach

Padang Padang Beach

You reach it through a crack in the rock. Small and busy at midday, quiet magic around four in the afternoon. Surfers know why.

Sacred Monkey Forest

Sacred Monkey Forest

Seven hundred macaques with zero respect for your belongings, living among ancient temples and giant banyans. Sunglasses in the bag, phone in your pocket. Trust me.

Tegallalang Rice Terrace

Tegallalang Rice Terrace

Come before 9am and it is just you, the farmers and ten thousand shades of green. There is a good coffee place at the top. I will show you which one.

Tirta Empul Temple

Tirta Empul Temple

The holy spring where Balinese families, mine included, come to be purified. You can join the melukat ritual. I will lend you a sarong and show you how it is done.

Uluwatu Temple

Uluwatu Temple

A temple on a seventy-meter cliff and the best seat in Bali for a sunset. Stay for the Kecak fire dance if you can. It is worth the crowd.
