Ranked among Indonesia’s most breathtaking beach hubs, Bali is a white, sandy coastal paradise of epic proportions. Although there’s only so much visitors can explore during a half-day tour, here’s how to make the most of a short stopover on the paradise isle.
Hit the Beaches
As even the briefest sojourn in Bali requires spending time on its glorious beaches, visitors should spend at least an hour admiring Bali’s pristine coastlines. Whether you take a dip in Uluwatu Beach or Padang Padang Beach, there’s no better way to kickstart your short stint on the island.
Pay Homage to the Uluwatu Temple
Those who have secured an ocean view villa in Bali at a property such as Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort must also venture over to Uluwatu Temple. This seaside temple with its rich heritage is a must-visit highlight for history buffs.

Visit the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Culture Park
Home to the iconic 121m tall sculpture of Lord Vishnu, this cultural park is a hotbed of activity all year round. Hosting exhibitions and cultural showcases, it is the perfect place to take part in seasonal events.
Explore the Island’s Café Scene
Don’t forget to drop by some of Bali’s best cafes before bidding adieu to the island. While the Avocado Factory is known for its healthy treats, venues such as the Blend Café, Salty Coffee Bali, and the Warung Tuti Café will cater to those with more decadent cravings.
