Places to visit in Bali from india
I have divided them into six categories. You can choose to cover places based on your likings. If you’re a beach person, you might want to cover more beaches or if you like culture and architecture, you might want to cover more temples.
It all depends on how many days you’ll be spending in Bali and what you would like to see and explore. Let’s dive deep into a list of top 25 places to visit in Bali whenever we hear about an international destination.
One thing that immediately strikes our mind is those beautiful beaches with blue ocean and white sandy beaches we have seen in the movies Bali being an island is filled with so many beautiful beaches which are beyond our expectations.
1. Diamond Beach
Diamond Beach in Nusa Panida is my personal favorite in Bali. The white sandy beach and silky blue water look spectacular. When you see it from the cliff, you can see the diamond shaped rock formation, which is the reason behind the name of this place visiting the beach wasn’t possible until 2018 with new spaces carved out of limestone, you can now get down to the beach in 20 minutes.
Reaching the beach needs little effort, but it is worth it. If you decide to visit the beach, it may take around three hours to explore the place. But if you’re tight on time, then you can just cast a glimpse of the Diamond Beach from the view point and head back.
2. Kelingking Beach
Kelingking Beach is the most photogenic spot in entire Bali. In fact, this place is probably the reason why Bali has got so much popularity. The view from the top looks like a dinosaur t-rex in particular.
It’s a unique shape which you won’t see anywhere else. Just like Diamond Beach. Keening Beach is mesmerizing as well. Blue ocean, white sandy beaches, limestone rock formations and greenery around will take your breath away.
You can trek all the way down to killing beach, but the trail is very difficult and way too scary. I wouldn’t really suggest you go down to the beach, but you can walk down some distance to get the best view because Kelingking is so popular, it can get way too crowded.
If you’re staying in Nusa Panida for a day, then you can come to killing beach early in the morning to beat the crowd and have the entire place for yourself. Sometimes Mother nature leaves us with something quite remarkable.
3. Broken Beach
And broken beach in Nusa Panda is a living proof of that. You can’t get into the water at this place, but you can enjoy the view of the broken beach from the top.
This is probably one of the amazing places to take photos. The aerial view of the broken beach was to another level. I felt it was worth buying the drone.
4. Angel Bilabong
After flying here next to the broken beach is in Bilabong. It is famous for its natural infinity pool. It is quite tempting to get into the water at this place but be aware that it is super dangerous. Nevertheless, the view of waves crashing is worth seeing here. If you’re tight on time, then you can just skip and just be.
5. Crystal Bay
Crystal Bay is a popular diving spot in Nusa panned. It is rich in marine life which makes it popular for snorkeling and scuba diving experiences even though there are other diving spots with richer and more beautiful marine life.
Crystal Bay remains favorite of everyone.

The first one is usually conducted here. Crystal Bay is known for its spectacular sunset as well.

Suluban Beach is a remarkable beach in Uluwatu. South Bali, also known as the Blue Point Beach. This place is super interesting with caves, beach restaurants and amazing surfing conditions.
This beach is popular among surfers because of the high tides at this place. Apart from that, it is famous for its mesmerizing sunset. There are other beaches near Suluban Beach like Nyang-nyang Beach and Padang Padang Beach that are also worth the visit.
7. Pasut Beach
When we talk about foreign beaches, we only imagine white sandy beaches. But did you know that there are equally stunning black sand beaches in Bali? The black sand beaches are created from volcanic ashes. So technically, it is a volcanic dust.
