Places to see in Bali

Small café in Jungutbatu doing breakfast bowls, house-made jamu and coffee — the island's morning stop before a dive boat.

A tall single-drop waterfall in a forest gorge on the road between Munduk and Singaraja.

All-day vegan cafe in Canggu — bowls, cakes and coffee, closing mid-afternoon.

Clifftop lookout on the Bukit's western edge where the land stops in a sheer drop to the sea. No railing and no shade — come for sunset, bring water.

After-dark food market where Kuta eats cheaply — Indonesian plates cooked to order at stalls, busiest well after 9pm.

Vegan cafe known for its bowls, its smoothie art and a much-photographed pink wall.

Larger neighbouring crater lake to Tamblingan, with a lakeside trekking trail through the forest.

The 1969 original that taught Bali to cook for visitors — nasi campur and Indonesian classics, still open late on Jalan Raya Seminyak.

Hilltop shrine and grave above Teluk Terima tied to the Jayaprana and Layonsari legend, up a long flight of steps.

Small Gootama Street kitchen cooking Indonesian and South-East Asian dishes to order. Busy from opening; expect a short wait.

Multi-tiered jungle waterfall a short walk from Munduk village, one of the region's most accessible falls.

Regency museum in Singaraja covering north Bali's history and its long Dutch colonial period.

Volcano museum at Penelokan on Batur's eruptions and the geology of the caldera you are standing on.

Quiet grey-sand beach between Batu Bolong and Berawa, named for the fishing boats still pulled up on it. Far less built up than its neighbours.

Local beach just south of the airport where the runway reaches the sea, best known for planes passing low overhead on approach.

Plant-based café and bike shop in Berawa — vegan menu, strong coffee, and a quieter room than the Batu Bolong brunch strip.

Wood-fired pizza in Canggu, a straightforward stop between the beach and the evening.

Temple on the site of the old Balingkang court, where Balinese and Chinese elements stand side by side.

One of Mount Agung's key temples, partway up the volcano's southern slope with sweeping views.

Bali's highest temple, on the caldera rim above Kintamani, holding a collection of weathered stone statuary.

Small lakeside temple on Tamblingan reached through forest — the quietest of the three crater lakes.

Daytime cafe near Bualu doing breakfast, bagels and burgers away from the resort gates.

5km paved beachfront path connecting Sanur's hotels, cafés, and fishing harbours — great for an early walk or run.

Small raw vegan cafe on a lane off Jalan Goutama, busy at lunch and known for its cashew-based desserts.

Wide black-sand beach north of Pererenan, backed by rice fields rather than cafes. The current is strong — it suits a walk better than a swim.

Wide, dramatic terraces in a quiet valley with Mount Agung as a backdrop — far fewer visitors than Tegallalang.

Evening market a block back from Sanur beach where the food stalls set up after dark.

Australian-style brunch café on Kayu Cendana and Seminyak's default breakfast. Expect to wait at weekends.

Lakeside cafe on Beratan, open through the day and closing late afternoon. Cheaper than the temple car park's stalls and quieter.

Ubud branch of the Uluwatu café — all-day brunch, bowls and espresso, on the southern end of Hanoman.
