Calm, measured rest and the sound of waves are perhaps the most common associations that arise with the word "beach". This is not surprising, as relaxation is exactly what many beach travelers are looking for. If you associate your vacation primarily with such activity, choose one of the 160 beaches in the region.

To make your choice easier, we have prepared a list of the best beaches for relaxation in Bali.

Attraction and Infrastructure

As for the main features of the beaches of Bali, they are as follows:

  • The region's beaches are mainly wide, moderate length and have a high level of cleanliness. The most common surface is sand of bright color.
  • Since many beaches are sandy, we recommend taking special shoes with you to avoid discomfort during your vacation.
  • Usually, entry into the water is gentle, which is very good for kids. There are 117 such beaches.
  • An important clarification, 93 beaches in the region have a long intertidal zone, which means that during low tide hours you may have to travel a considerable distance. This is also something to consider if you don't want to suddenly be in the water at high tide.
  • The average distance from the road to beach in Bali is less than 500 meters. 140 beaches are relatively easy to access, 6 beaches are difficult to access, which in most cases means that you have to walk a quite long distance, and 11 beaches are only accessible from the water. The latter include both island beaches and beaches with no land routes due to the natural borders.

The vast majority of Bali beaches have the necessary amenities, such as sun loungers, umbrellas, beach cafes, showers and toilets.

Latest reviews on Bali's beaches

Kedonganan Beach
10 Niran Vayu

This beach offers an idyllic setting to bask in the sunset and indulge in the delectable local seafood. If you're part of a big group, I suggest heading to the market to purchase some freshly caught seafood and then taking it to one of the seafood huts to cook it up for a fraction of the cost. It's an experience like no other!

Dream Beach
10 Lian Tanoto

This beach is incredibly clean - I'd say it's the cleanest beach in Bali. The waves are big, and there's plenty of parking available. Cons: Unfortunately, there are no shower or toilet facilities on the beach. We had to use the shower room at Cafe Pandan. Location: This beach is conveniently located - only a short distance from Yellow Bridge. Worth a visit: Absolutely! I'd give it a 5/5 rating. Access: Getting to the beach is easy, so I'd rate it 5/5. Tips: In my opinion, this is the ultimate dream beach. It's spotless, unlike many other beaches in Bali, and the waves are massive - only the bravest swimmers should attempt them. I personally don't have the guts to try! This is definitely a must-see spot in Nusa Lembongan, alongside Devil Tears. Trust my reviews - they're always honest and unbiased.

Batu Bolong Beach
10 Kaelan Ashford

The beach is absolutely stunning and I highly recommend visiting around 5PM when the weather is slightly overcast. It's a joy to watch the many dogs frolicking about, whether they are street dogs or playing with their owners. The beaches are interconnected, so you can take a leisurely stroll and discover several beaches while waiting for the sunset. It's truly a wonderful experience!

Berawa Beach
10 Rian Aditya Pratama

This beach is a great spot to spend time with family and enjoy the sunrise or sunset. It's conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from our beloved hotel, The Haven Berawa.

Bugbug Beach
10 Naya Kael (cleepoon)

Virgin Beach, or Pasir Putih, is a great spot to relax and clear your mind.

Black Sand Beach
8 Kieran Dornan

Visiting this beach is a great experience. The last part of the journey requires a ladder to descend the steep terrain.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 15 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the region is March - air temperature during this time warms up to 29.8°C and water up to 30.2°C in February. The coldest month is August - air temperature drops to 26.2°C and water to 25.4°C. Air and water temperature allows you to relax comfortably in the region all year round, which is enjoyed by tourists and locals.
