Tourists flock to Bali in their droves to experience its beaches. The problem with this is that coastal resorts often become overrun, making it difficult to relax. This is not the case with Sanur Beach. Though it's only 15 kilometres from the buzzing Kuta Beach, Sanur exudes a relaxed, tranquil quality. If you're a couple or family looking for quiet beach time, Sanur should go straight to the top of your list.

3. Ubud Monkey Forest

The Ubud Monkey Forest is a site for Balinese Hindu worship and every aspect of the grounds has sacred meaning, from its trees and temples, to its long-tail macaques. This site is also a research centre where you can learn more about the monkeys and some 115 species of trees. The site is also known as the Padangtegal Monkey Forest because it is owned by the village of Padangtegal, one of Ubud’s communities.

4. Uluwatu Temple

Having experienced the delights of Uluwatu Beach, amble up to the Uluwatu Temple. Here, marvel at one of the oldest religious buildings in Bali. A key directional temple (this means its purpose is to ward off evil spirits), Uluwatu towers 70 metres above the Java Sea. The immense crashing sound of the waves adds to the dramatic setting; it's easy to understand why this spot has long inspired humility in men.

8. Double Six Beach

Double Six Beach is a beautiful sandy beach located on the west coast of Bali.

If you visit early in the morning, you will almost certainly be able to enjoy the beach in peace. Lie back and relax on a sun lounger or indulge in a Balinese massage while listening to the sound of the waves gently lapping against the shore. Later on in the day, enjoy a delicious fruity cocktail or a beer while gazing out over the Bali Sea. Make sure you sample Indonesia’s own bestselling brand of beer, Bintang.
