5 Hidden Gems in Bali to Explore During Your Stay
While Bali is known for its famous beaches, iconic temples, and lively nightlife, there are plenty of hidden gems around the island for those looking to discover a more authentic side. If you’re staying at Adijaya Rooms in Seminyak, you’re perfectly positioned to explore these unique, off-the-beaten-path destinations. Here are five hidden gems in Bali that will make your trip unforgettable:
- Tukad Cepung Waterfall
Hidden within a cave-like gorge, Tukad Cepung Waterfall is one of Bali’s most magical spots. Located near Bangli, this waterfall cascades down between high cliffs, creating a mesmerizing light effect as the sunlight streams in. To reach the waterfall, you’ll take a short trek through the forest and down a set of stairs, but the view is well worth the effort. This secluded spot is perfect for those looking to experience Bali’s natural beauty away from the crowds.
- Nyang Nyang Beach
While Bali has no shortage of beautiful beaches, Nyang Nyang Beach offers something special. Tucked away on Bali’s southern coast, this beach is one of the island’s best-kept secrets. It’s a bit of a trek down a steep cliff path, but once you reach the beach, you’ll find pristine white sands, clear blue waters, and a sense of tranquility that’s hard to match. Bring a picnic and enjoy a peaceful day by the sea, or go beachcombing to discover pieces of the unique shipwreck found along the shore.
- Sidemen Valley
For a glimpse of Bali’s traditional village life, head to Sidemen Valley. Located in the eastern part of the island, this picturesque valley is filled with lush rice terraces, coconut trees, and scenic views of Mount Agung. It’s the perfect spot for a leisurely day trip or an overnight stay to immerse yourself in the peaceful rural atmosphere. Here, you can trek through the rice fields, visit local craft workshops, or simply enjoy the tranquility of the valley.
- Jatiluwih Rice Terraces
While Tegalalang Rice Terraces often steal the spotlight, the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces offer an equally stunning view with far fewer visitors. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, Jatiluwih is an expansive area of lush green rice paddies stretching across rolling hills. The terraces are beautifully maintained, and you can walk along the pathways that wind through the fields. Visiting in the morning or late afternoon provides the best lighting for photos, and you’ll feel a deep connection to Bali’s agricultural heritage.
- Bali Pulina Coffee Plantation
For coffee lovers, a visit to Bali Pulina Coffee Plantation offers a unique and educational experience. Located near Ubud, this plantation lets you learn about the coffee-making process, from bean to cup. Bali Pulina is especially known for its famous kopi luwak, or civet coffee, one of the world’s most unique (and expensive) coffees. Take a guided tour, sample various teas and coffees, and enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding jungle from the plantation’s scenic terrace.
