Found near Ungasan, after a steep descent of 250 steps totaling 75 meters, you will be rewarded with this secluded strip of sand bordered by two large limestone caves. Named for the color of the cliffs encircling the beach and the emerald hues that shimmer off the algae-covered rocks in the water, Green Bowl is the ideal location for a more personal beach day among Bali’s best beaches. Stay vigilant for bats in the caves and keep belongings secure, as playful monkeys may also be present!

BALANGAN BEACH, BALANGAN

Adorned with scenic palm trees, this white sand beach in Bali offers ample space for leisurely strolls with a partner. Recharge by enjoying a meal from several warungs (traditional food stalls – we highly recommend Nasi Goreng) lining the beach, and stay refreshed with a fresh coconut after spending a relaxing day under the Balinese sun at one of Bali’s stunning beaches.

DOUBLE SIX BEACH, SEMINYAK

Situated in the upscale area of Seminyak, Double Six beach is an optimal location to discover a beach front bar and indulge in a sunset while savoring a cold Bintang, reflecting on the events of the day.

Relax beneath the colorful umbrellas and sandbags while enjoying live acoustic performances. Proceed into the night with a live DJ every Friday.

BLUE POINT BEACH, ULUWATU

Surrounded by the stunning limestone cliffs, Sultan (also known as Blue Point Beach) embodies the charm of a hidden beach. Descend through a series of stairs and wooden pathways that lead through the caves onto the sun-kissed sand. Gaze out at the mesmerizing azure waters or explore the nearby mini caves.
