When it comes to beaches, Bali does it better. Read on for our guide to the best stretches of sand in this tropical island paradise.

For Parties: Legian Beach

Legian beach is the perfect marriage of tropical paradise and epic nightlife. Poke around the restaurants and beach bars during the day and then get ready to party until the early morning at Legian beach’s famous nightclubs!

For Sunsets: Sunset Beach

Located on the North West of Gili Trawangan Island, is the aptly named Sunset beach. Here is where you'll find the famous Gili Sunset Swings. During your Bali trip, we'll stop here for a round of cocktails and of course make sure everyone gets a shot for the gram!

For Bike Rides: Sanur Beach

Over on the Eastern side of the island, Sanur beach is an endless strip of white sand and palm trees perfect for bike rides and long beach walks. Head into the town for an eclectic selection of local restaurants and shops in the laidback beach town.

For Romance: Thomas Beach

This secluded slice of the Balinese coast is nothing but palm trees, white sand, and some of the clearest water in the world. There’s no development along the coast here so you and your bae will have plenty of privacy for a picnic or some sunset drinks.

For Learning to Surf: Batu Bolong Beach

Batu Bolong is a volcanic beach on the southern coast of the island. It's located in Canggu, a super low key town that has some incredible food and markets. A surf lesson here is included on all of our small group tours travelling Bali.

For Pool People: Keramas Beach

If you’re of the mind that the best beach is a pool, check out Keramas Beach. Although the strong currents, reef floor, and big surf make Keramas beach dangerous to swim, awesome infinity pools with swim up bars line the beautiful shoreline. Enjoy a drink and watch the experts tear up the surf.

For Adventure: Green Bowl Beach

You’ll have to walk down the 75m cliff to get to this unique and secluded secret. On the far end of the beach, limestone caves hold ancient shrines where you can cool off from the sun. At low tide, Green Bowl has some of the best snorkelling on the island.
