Picking the best viewpoints in Bali was difficult as there are so many to choose from. Among the most famous are the high vantage points in the central upland region, where you can capture stunning panoramas featuring expanses of lush green rice paddies flowing down hillsides or magical mountain ranges with an ancient Balinese Hindu temple gate in the foreground.
You get almost as many options along the coastline, from towering limestone clifftops to low-lying outcrops, where you can take in beautiful bird’s-eye views of the Indian Ocean against memorable sunsets. Although some of these elevated vantage points require some travel to get to, the prize views at the end are totally worth the effort.

もっと読むAs one of Bali’s most important temples, Tanah Lot is famous for its unique offshore setting. It's also one of the best places for enjoying a dramatic Bali sunset. Try to reach Tanah Lot in the early afternoon to explore the different courtyards around the onshore site. You can admire the beauty of the main sea temple right from the coast.
Pura Batu Bolong Temple is another temple at the end of a hollow rock causeway nearby. Wait around the area for the magical moment as the sun sets over the temple. A dedicated Sunset Terrace venue features a variety of small restaurants and bars, so you can enjoy the view over dinner.

もっと読むThe coastal area of Amed is also known as Jemeluk Bay and is famous for both its diving and its scenic viewpoint up in the hills, just above the bay. It provides one of the most beautiful panoramas in the lesser-travelled East Bali region.
From the top, you can take in the breathtaking seascape of the curving bay with fishing outriggers parked in neat rows along the coast. The verdant green cliff and the clear and calm blue waters off the shore are all framed together with the outlines of Bali’s highest peak, Mount Agung, looming majestically in the background.

もっと読むMount Batur and its caldera lake are truly stunning, with the villages of Kintamani and Penelokan being among the favourite vantage points. Penelokan actually means ‘outlook’ in the local tongue. The restaurant and street stall-lined main road runs above the rim of the crater lake.
The actual area of Kintamani sits on the western side of the lake. Floating restaurants here let you get closer to the scenery. Even so, panoramic views are best from the ridges and Mount Batur’s peak itself. Mountain trails usually take at least 3 hours to hike. Mount Batur is also a popular haunt for local mountain-biking communities.

もっと読むThe Pura Lempuyang Luhur Temple ('Lempuyang Temple' for short) is one of Bali’s oldest and most remote temples. At 1,175 metres above sea level, the temple is at the peak of namesake Mount Lempuyang in East Bali. You can reach it via a steep staircase with over 1,700 steps. Along the way, you'll pass several other temples and forested pathways inhabited by grey long-tailed macaques.
An easier-to-reach viewpoint is the large Pura Penataran Agung temple at the foot of the mountain. From here, you can see the neighbouring peak of Mount Agung perfectly framed through ornate gates. The first sight in view on pilgrimages here is the temple's towering dragon staircases. These are a perfect backdrop for Instagrammers.

もっと読むSuluban Beach has many unique natural features, making it a photographer’s paradise. The beach is behind natural limestone formations. Access is via steps and log ramps through narrow gaps in the rock. Canopied by a looming cliff face, this small beach may not be ideal for sunbathers but is popular with surfers.
Among the great vantage points are several cafés right above the surf spot. You can also get a great view over the rolling waves from the Balawista lifeguard tower.

もっと読むThe Jatiluwih rice terraces in central-west Bali is a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site. It's also one of the most popular viewpoints in Bali. They cover 600 hectares of fertile land that follows the flowing hillside topography of the Batukaru mountain range. The rice fields are well-maintained by a traditional water management cooperative that’s known as subak. The system itself dates back to the 9th century.
Entering the farming village, you'll instantly discover the lush and panoramic views. Restaurants serving international and local cuisine line the small road overlooking the rice terraces. From most, you can enjoy local selections and buffets, served together with the popular vistas.

もっと読むThe Tegallalang Rice Terraces are just north of central Ubud. You can admire the famous view from various outlook points along the main village road that runs parallel to the valley.

The high roadside location is cool and breezy. It's a well-known spot for travellers to stop and take photos, especially on tours through central Bali. Painters and nature lovers enjoy visiting this spot and local artists offer their wares at numerous art kiosks along the ledge.

もっと読むTegalwangi Beach is named after the temple perched on top of the limestone cliff that overlooks the coast. You can find this unique ‘hidden’ beach along the Bukit Peninsula’s western coast. It's just to the north of the glitzy Ayana Resort and Spa in Jimbaran. You can reach it along a paved road, then down a flight of rocky stairs south of the temple.
Be sure to take in the fantastic seascapes before you descend. Low tides and crimson sunsets reveal seaweed-covered stony barriers, which add an abstract border and foreground to the wider ocean views. The best time to head up here is just before the sunset ‘blue hour’ (between 6pm and 7pm).
