Which Bali Beach is Right For You?

The most popular beaches in Bali attract travellers with their impressive landscape, clear waters, and a wide range of activities. There are rocky shores under towering limestone cliffs and long, palm-lined coastlines, as well as some more secluded bays. We’ve included the most popular beach resorts like Kuta, Nusa Dua and Sanur and remote coasts that are suitable for rest and relaxation.

Looking for a beach in Bali that provides you with all the action? Legian is a great choice. A beach dedicated to exciting water sports action? Tanjung Benoa is the answer. Honeymooners may prefer the calmer bay of Jimbaran or remote Candidasa in East Bali. Have a look at our list of the most popular Bali beaches to find one that suits you the best.

Kuta Beach

Categoría: Parejas, Familias, Foto, Económico, De aventura


Kuta spans around 2.5 km of white and grey sand on Bali’s western coast. Despite its rapid growth and frenzied traffic scene, its unique charm continues to attract both international and domestic visitors. Start at the main gate with the Balawista lifeguard tower in view, and stroll northwards along the shoreline.

You can find plenty of spots to sunbathe and enjoy a beach massage, paddle out from the shore, or take in the magical sunsets. Owing to its popularity, Kuta Beach has a small army of hawkers selling cold drinks, fresh fruits, towels, sarongs, and a host of other tacky trinkets. Más información

Legian Beach

Categoría: Parejas, Familias, Foto, Económico, De aventura


Legian Beach is right next to Kuta, and while it’s rather challenging to define the borders of these beaches, they offer similar activities like surfing, partying, and shopping. Thanks to its sandy beach breaks, conditions are great for first-time wave riders. There are several popular surf schools here, too.

Catch a sunset at Legian’s famous coastal strip, known as Double Six Beach (or Blue Ocean Beach), where you can expect beach bars coming to life with colourful beanbags laid out on the sand. For chic and stylish beach club experiences, Seminyak is just a short stroll north from Legian. Más información

Seminyak in Bali

Categoría: Parejas, Familias, Foto, Económico, Solteros, Grupos


Seminyak’s beach scene is broken up into subsections, the best of which are Petitenget Beach and Double Six Beach. Some of Bali’s best dining venues and world-renowned nightlife spots can be found in Seminyak.

Waves can be a bit rough with strong undercurrents – some areas are often marked by red, no-swimming flags. It makes it a great spot for advanced surfers but not so good if you just want a relaxing swim. The beach makes up for this with exotic scenery, with long and flat sand at low tide. Más información

Sanur Beach in Bali

Sanur Beach has a quiet and rustic fishing village charm quite unlike most beaches in Bali. It’s often recognised as the total opposite of Kuta, which is located on the opposite side of the island. The coastline has a mix of grainy and coarse coral sand. Much of it is protected by the Sanur Reef, and the resulting calm waves allow you to swim and enjoy snorkelling right off the beach. It’s excellent for witnessing impressive sunrises, with outlines of Mount Agung and Nusa Penida Island on the far horizon. Más información

Canggu Beach is roughly between Seminyak and Tanah Lot. The beach offers a rugged coastal scene and challenging surfing. Most of Canggu’s coastline has volcanic black sand, while its surf breaks have become popular with international surfers.
