Ubud Monkey Forest
The Monkey Forest in Ubud is one of the most visited attractions in Ubud. It’s a sanctuary and natural habitat for monkeys, which tourists can visit for around 5 USD. Here you can wander around as the monkeys roam free. It’s a beautiful spot both from a natural viewpoint and the temples dotted here and there. […]
Tirta Gangga Water Palace
Taman Tirtagangga is actually a former royal palace in eastern Bali, not a temple. It has recently seen a rise in popularity on Instagram and it’s easy to see why. For the prime Insta-shot you’ll want to be on the steps out in the water, possibly with a few of those bright orange fish for […]
Pura Ulun Danu Beratan Temple
Also known as the floating temple, Pura Ulun Danu Beratan is a beautiful Hindu Shaivite Shiva temple on the shores of Lake Bratan. It’s called the “floating temple” because in the rainy season there will be water all around it, making it seem as if it’s detached from the mainland. It’s very popular at sunrise […]
Tanah Lot
I have to admit that when I visited Tanah Lot I was a bit underwhelmed by the experience. It was incredibly busy and ridiculously hot, which contributed to making it one of my least favourite spots in Bali. However there is no denying that Tanah Lot is an extremely photogenic temple. Seeing the temple perched on […]
Handara Golf & Resort Bali gates
I put this under the temple category as that is what it resembles the most, however this spot isn’t actually a temple. The Handara Golf & Resort has become famous for its gates, which resemble the Pura Lempuyang ones. There might be no reflection and Mount Agung in the background but there will also be […]
Pura Lempuyang Temple
Pura Lempuyang Temple is for some the essence of everything that is wrong with Instagram in Bali. I’m sure you’ve all seen this photo; with the beautiful gates of the temple framing Mount Agung in the distance, the person standing between the gates and everything perfectly reflected below. It’s a very Instagrammable shot, there’s no […]
Tibumana waterfall
Combine a huge waterfall with turquoise water and lush greenery surrounding it and you have a winner! Tibumana waterfall is located in central Bali, not far from Ubud, and is a waterfall that you can even swim in! It’s the perfect spot where you can snap some beautiful Insta-shots, and then refresh yourself in the […]
Mount Agung Viewpoint
This spot captures in one go all the elements I picture in my head when I think of Bali. The volcano in the distance, the field patchwork leading up to it, the palm trees and rice fields all around and the overall green vibe, it’s one of the most iconic Bali spots.
Munduk waterfall
Munduk waterfall is a beautiful gem just waiting to be discovered. Located deep in the jungles and mountains of north Bali, it doesn’t receive as many visitors as other waterfalls around Bali. The huge waterfall tucked away into the greenery makes for some very impressive Instagram photos.
Kroya waterfall
Kroya Waterfall is an often overlooked, but actually beautiful spot. It’s close to the bigger and more famous Aling Aling waterfall, however if you’re looking for a fun Instagram spot, Kroya is the waterfall for you. Not only is the water here a brilliant turquoise colour (perfect for any Instagram shot!) but the waterfall is […]
