There are still many unspoiled locations in Bali
Most people who arrive in Bali are immediately confronted with the vibrancy of the island. Subsequently, everyone heads to their ultimate vacation destination, often one of the many popular seaside resorts that Bali has to offer.
Nevertheless, numerous places on Bali exist that attract only a few tourists. Who has ever embarked on a multi-day trek through the West Bali National Park? Have you ever experienced the mystique of driving through a dense misty landscape in the mountainous central part of the island? Have you ever set foot on Gili Putih, a small white island in the north of Bali? Or have you ever taken an early morning walk through the Balinese savannah, with the majestic Gunung Agung in the background?
These are just a few examples of locations that attract very few tourists. While a prospective explorer in Bali might think that everything has already been discovered, we assert that there are still many unspoiled places to be found on this island.

And perhaps you have a valuable tip to share as well. Although there is no material reward associated with it, your tip could inspire other travellers to explore your hidden piece of Bali. That, in itself, is a reward.
Some say Bali has become too crowded, while others believe there are still untouched places full of nature and peace. Do you agree with this statement? Tell us briefly why.

Yes, absolutely. Places like Bukit Jambul, Les village in North Bali, or the hills around Sidemen still feel untouched. You just have to move away from the main roads.

I’m sure there are, but to be honest, we don’t explore those areas very often. Our trips outside the resort have mostly been to well-known places like Tanah Lot, Uluwatu Temple, and Ubud.
John Mercer (Friday, 28 November 2025)
Absolutely. When we want to escape the busier areas, we often take the kids to the quiet parts of Ketewel or explore small roads around Sukawati. These areas still feel authentic and peaceful.
Logan Pierce (Tuesday, 25 November 2025 00:04)
Yes. Once you leave the busy coastline, you’ll find quiet beaches and small inland villages that feel untouched.
Claire Moreau (Monday, 24 November 2025 19:51)
Yes, absolutly. One place I like a lot is the small waterfalls north of Ubud, not the famous ones, but the small ones where almost nobody goes. You walk maybe 10 minutes in the forest and you feel like you are alone in the world. I prefer to keep the exact name secret, otherwise it will not stay quiet (smile).
Talia Brooks (Monday, 24 November 2025 19:40)
Yes, for sure. One beach I really love is Green Bowl Beach. It’s quieter than most southern beaches, not too crowded, and the scenery is stunning.
For surfing, a lesser-known gem is Nyang Nyang Left — it requires a bit of a walk, so it keeps the big crowds away.
Evan Calder (Sunday, 23 November 2025 19:16)
Absolutely. Sidemen itself still feels very unspoiled, but if I have to mention something less known, I’d say the area around Gembleng Waterfall. Early in the morning it’s incredibly quiet, with beautiful views and very few visitors.

Partly agree, the main areas of Bali are overcrowded but Bali has its gems spread all over the island

I completely agree — there are still many unspoiled places in Bali. Personally, I love exploring the Tabanan area. Most tourists stay close to the beaches, but the hinterland has so much to offer. When you drive along the small roads, climb up into the mountains, and visit villages with their beautiful temples, you really see another side of Bali. You might even spot monkeys along the way and enjoy the calm, slow pace of life that makes these places so special.
