Laden with towering volcanoes, sandy shores, deep green tree canopies, and turquoise water, Bali could be described as heavenly. The Indonesian island is known for its rich culture, beautiful beaches, and spiritual qualities. Ancient temples abound in Bali. The stunning cliffside location of Uluwatu Temple is a must-see. But visitors should be careful—there’s a tribe of sneaky monkeys that are known to snatch up hats, purses, and glasses from unsuspecting tourists. Tirta Empul Temple and Tanah Lot Temple also make the list of breathtaking sites on the island. A picture of paradise, Bali’s beaches will not disappoint. A great place to relax for the day, Balangan Beach is a long narrow strip of beach below the rocky cliffs, covered with palm trees and white sand. After a day at the beach, visitors will want to check out the Kintamani region—home to Mount Batur, a towering and active volcano. There are also several villages nearby that offer lodging and dining options for an overnight excursion.
