1. The second you arrive, the view is mesmerizing.
2. And then you realize the whole country is filled and surrounded by beauty.
3. Take the beauty of Ulun Temple, for example.
4. Or Tanah Lot Temple, which was built on a rock formation looking over the ocean.
5. Seeing the rice fields of Ubud is well worth the trek.
6. Same goes for the Sekumpul Waterfalls.
7. You can hold a monkey at the Sacred Monkey Forrest Sanctuary.

13. You can stay in unique accommodation like these…
African-style safari lodge? A massive bamboo house? You name it. Bali has it all.

16. Bali has many secret pristine beaches tucked away in its little corners, where you can enjoy the sun, sand and sea far away from the crowd.
