Bali Museums & exhibitions

Bali doesn’t just do sunsets — it orchestrates them. The sky goes tropical technicolor, temples light up, and even the palm trees seem to strike a pose. One minute you’re toes-deep in black sand, the next you’re on a clifftop watching the horizon catch fire. From jungle ridges to beach bars, sacred shrines to sleepy coves, golden hour in Bali isn’t a quiet goodbye — it’s a blaze of glory.

From jungle ravines to rice terraces, Bali’s swing attractions have become one of the island’s most photographed experiences. The trend started near Ubud in the late 2010s as part of small-scale agro-tourism projects, coffee plantations and family-run farms built swings to attract visitors and create new income streams.

The Indonesian island of Bali has some of the most stunning shorelines in the world, including everything from the calm, family-friendly waters of Sanur Beach to the thrilling surf breaks of Kuta Beach. Satisfy your appetite with fresh seafood at Jimbaran Beach, or marvel at the stunning cliffs of Kelingking Beach.

When you picture Bali, you may think of pristine beaches and high-end resorts, but the island offers more for the adventurous traveler. From misty mountain trails and Hindu temples to challenging scrambles up rocky peaks like Mount Agung, hiking in Bali is diverse, enjoyable, and strikingly beautiful.

For the daring, summiting Mount Batur just in time for a breathtaking sunrise is one of Bali’s most unmissable experiences. If you prefer a gentler pace, add a wander to the Munduk Waterfalls to your list of things to do in Bali. Read on to discover the wealth of options at your feet.
