The hip, laid-back surf town north of Seminyak — black-sand surf breaks, beach clubs, cafés and a big digital-nomad and yoga crowd, among the last rice fields. Younger and more casual than Seminyak, buzzing and creative; the base for surf, brunch, co-working and sunset beach bars.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 6.Tanah Lot temple — The most iconic of Bali's sea temples — a small, ancient shrine perched on a rock just offshore, cut off by the tide, silhouetted against the sunset. Touristy and busy at dusk, but genuinely beautiful; go for the golden hour, wander the clifftop paths, and watch the waves crash around the temple on its rock.
- 8.Canggu surf & beach clubs — Bali's coolest surf scene — the black-sand breaks of Batu Bolong and Echo Beach, dotted with surf schools, sunset beach clubs and boho cafés, in the hip nomad town of Canggu. Take a beginner surf lesson on the gentle waves, then flop at a beach bar for the sunset; the laid-back, creative heart of the south.
