Kelingking Beach, Nusa Penida
Kelinking Beach, Nusa Penida, Bali - this will be the greatest jaw dropping visit of your life (at least it was for me); it is SPECTACULAR! if you are in Bali please do yourself a favor and visit this island, you would not regret it; & yes Nusa Penida is an island off the main Bali island (45 minute ride on boat from Sanur, which is in the south east of Bali); There are many companies who offer tours and day trips from the Kuta/Seminyak/Ubud area daily. Or you can go to Sanur, by yourself and buy the boat tickets and when you arrive in the island you can hire a guide tour that can take you up to Kelingking Beach.

Tibumana Waterfall
Tibumana Waterfall, Apuang, Bali - to me what makes this waterfall located in central Bali so precious is that is almost a hidden gem that no many tourists know about. It is not very visited, the hike up and down is not too difficult and only takes about 10 minutes or less. very well maintained stairs take you all the way to the base of the waterfall, and there is lockers for you to leave your belongings. You have to pay a small fee of around $1 usd to get into the parking lot at the top. Is great for photo opportunities as you don't have to deal with big crowds getting into your pictures. Also, no crowds means more swimming. And you really don't need water shoes for this one.

Ubud Royal Palace
The Royal Palace, Ubud, Bali - This was the official residence of the Royal family in Ubud. It's magnificent, with a beautiful garden and temple-like architecture.

Tirta Gangga
Tirta Gangga it is on the way back from the Lempuyang Temple if you are going to stay in the Kuta/Seminyak area (so do both on the same day). Tirta Gangga means “Water from the Ganges” and is a former Royal Palace also known as the “Water Palace”. This palace is a maze of pools and fountains surrounded by a lush garden and stone carvings and statues or Bedogols😍🗿. The one hectare complex was built in 1946 by the late King of Karangsem but was destroyed almost entirely by the eruption of nearby Mount Agung in 1963 (Which until today still an Active Volcano). It has been lovingly re-built and restored and has an air of authentic royal magnificence...and, as you can see on my pictures YOU CAN WALK through the main pool. So awesome...a Must go in Bali!

Beautiful views everywhere, amazing background for pictures; There's also many restaurants with views of the terraces, and you can enjoy meals for the equivalent of $2 usd a plate. There are also swings on the edge of the terraces for an extra cost, and you could either love the experience or hate it. I loved it, so I say do it if you have the chance and you are not afraid of heights. You can also do coffee & tea tasting, and you can actually try the most expensive coffee in the World (Luwak Coffee) at very reasonable price ($4 USD or less; in other countries a cup of this coffee can cost $40 USD).
