Pandawa is a never-ending sandy beach on the southern coast of Bali; accessible via a large road recently dug into the rock. You will find several alcoves on the way, which hold statues referring to a famous Balinese show. You will generally find little waves at this beach, which encourages bathing.

Unlike the other beaches of the south part of the island, mainly Indonesians frequent this one. The numerous small restaurants predict that the place is meant to become the new up and coming destination. So you should rush there!

The long white sandy beach of Balangan is among the most beautiful in the island and deserves as such to make a stop there, whether it is to have a drink or to eat facing the sea, or even to bath and sunbath in the morning. In the afternoon, surfers take possession of the premises, as the waves become bigger, making bathing fairly difficult.

From the car park, you will access the beach via stairs that will lead you to its extremity consisting of rocks carved by water, in which splashing around is rather pleasant. You will also have the chance to hike up to get a bird’s eye view over the whole beach.

Suluban is a stunning little cove very appreciated by surfers, whether they are Balinese or foreigners, for the quality of its waves. The beach is accessible using a rather steep stair with narrow steps in the end. Simple bathing is difficult but the place is just stunning and is totally worth the glance.

You will undeniably stand there open-mouthed facing this unforgettable place of gorgeous scenery. If you desire, you will get the opportunity to have a drink or eat at one of the several warungs and restaurants overlooking the cove or even just to go and admire the turquoise and see-through water from the cliff that surrounds the beach.

Erected in the 10th century, Uluwatu - situated at the southern end of the island - is one of Bali’s oldest temples. 70 metres above sea level; it overlooks the ocean and is dedicated to the spirits of the sea. It is also one of the 9 temples, which, according to Hindu precepts, aim at protecting the island from evil spirits.

Even though travellers are not granted access to the temple - reserved for believers - the scenery of the waves crushing into the cliffs is worth the effort when the sun is turning the whole landscape into a soft orange-tinted backdrop.
