Sights & Landmarks
Tanah Lot is a traditional Balinese temple situated on a small rocky island, offering stunning views of the water. It is a popular tourist destination known for its beautiful location on the coast, surrounded by rocks and cliffs. The temple, which holds great significance for Hindu worshippers, provides breathtaking vistas of the sea. Tanah Lot is renowned as one of the best spots to witness mesmerizing sunsets in Bali.
It's a beautiful place. The atmosphere here is truly captivating. The grounds are large and well-maintained, with many interesting spots where you can capture a moment for a beautiful souvenir. If the weather is nice and there aren't many tourists, you can relax and soak up the atmosphere. The ticket price is undoubtedly good for this place. The best way to get here is by scooter. I also met guides who shared stories and guided tourists around.

Actually It’s a park which is a must place to visit and picnic while in Bali. Watch the high tides striking the cliffs and a beautiful sunset. An exquisite park to roam around and relax with some fine dining options. The temple is at some distance with no direct access and you don’t need to visit it

Tanah Lot Temple, Bali – A Majestic Sea Temple on the Rocks Tanah Lot Temple is one of Bali’s most iconic landmarks, renowned for its stunning offshore setting and mesmerizing sunset views. Perched on a rocky outcrop surrounded by the sea, the temple appears to float during high tide, creating a truly magical sight. Located in Tabanan Regency, around 20 km from Denpasar, Tanah Lot is a must-visit destination for travelers seeking a mix of spirituality, culture, and natural beauty. The name Tanah Lot means “Land in the Sea” in Balinese, perfectly describing its dramatic position. The temple is dedicated to the sea gods and plays an important role in Balinese mythology. Legend says that it was established by the 16th-century priest Dang Hyang Nirartha, who built it after being inspired by the beauty of the coastline. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking ocean views, especially during sunset when the sky glows in shades of orange and gold, creating one of Bali’s most photographed moments. During low tide, tourists can walk across to the base of the temple, explore small caves with sea snakes believed to be sacred protectors, and witness local rituals performed by Balinese priests. The area around Tanah Lot features beautifully landscaped gardens, souvenir markets, and several cliffside restaurants offering panoramic views. It is also a popular spot for cultural performances and traditional dance shows held in the evenings. Tanah Lot is open daily, with the best time to visit being late afternoon to witness the sunset spectacle. Visitors are encouraged to dress modestly as it remains an active place of worship. In short: Tanah Lot Temple is not just a tourist attraction — it’s a symbol of Bali’s spiritual harmony, where nature and faith blend into an unforgettable experience.

Great place for a long walk, which is not common in Bali! Perfert to see the sunset. Lots and lots of shops with local artisan beautiful things. At sunset you can walk to the temple and get blessed. Then tgete are a few restaurants with local food and amazing view. Don't missed out.

Another most visited place in Bali. The temple is beautiful. The location is even better. Though bit far from Kuta; the visitors is worthwhile. Now it is entirely on the tide timings whether you can reach the main temple or not. If you happen to be there during low tide then just walk across the the flat rocks and you can reach the main temple stairs. Though there is nothing much to see there. The entire temple compound is beautifully landscaped. You may walk around to see the other photogenic spots. There are many stores and shops selling snacks and souvenirs. You may visit them while returning back. The main issue is transportation. If you are on a scooter then no worries. But if you are taking a Grab or Gojek cab from Kuta then it will be wise to ask the driver to wait for you there and come back in the same car. Local taxis might charge a lot if taken from the temple area.

Tanah lot temple is located in the sea side, one of the famous sea temples in Bali. Tanah Lot translates to "Land in the sea". The temple is built on a rock formation off the cost making it appear to float on the sea during high tide. It is famous for the stunning sunset views. Plan your trip to make sure that you will be able to witness the sunset from there. At the base of the temple, there is holy water which is guarded by snakes. We can enter here and seek blessings as well. There is lot of shops available for shopping near the entry and exit gates. Also, the famous traditional Balinese gate is there for photo shoots. Worth visiting 👍

Pura Tanah Lot is a Hindu temple located on the southwest coast of Bali. It sits on an offshore rock formation and it’s therefore reachable only when there’s low tide: part of the rock is artificial because it replaced the original damaged one during restoration works in the 80s. The temple itself is not accessible, so the only two attractions there are the blessing with the holy water in the cave below the temple and the water snake in the cave on the opposite side: both require a money offer and to be honest they are not worth it.

Tanah Lot Temple Indonesia Bali is pure magic, a sacred jewel perched on a rock in the heart of the ocean. At sunset, the sky paints it in gold, creating a breathtaking silhouette against fiery hues. Waves crash rhythmically below, as if the sea itself is chanting prayers. Intricate stone carvings on black volcanic rock tell ancient stories of devotion and beauty. The gentle chime of temple bells blends with the salty ocean breeze, soothing the soul. Walking across the beach at low tide feels like stepping into a divine painting. The sacred sea snake in the cave adds a touch of mystery and reverence. Clifftop views offer postcard-perfect panoramas that steal your breath away. Every corner radiates peace, spirituality, and timeless Balinese charm. Sunset crowds gather in awe, yet the atmosphere remains serene and sacred. Frangipani flowers and incense fill the air with sweet, holy fragrance. The multi-tiered meru towers stand proud, guardians of the coast. Watching the sun dip into the sea behind the temple is a memory for a lifetime. Even the journey through lush rice fields to reach it feels enchanting. Tanah Lot isn’t just a temple—it’s a love letter from nature to the divine. The reflection in tidal pools at golden hour is pure photographic poetry. Spiritual energy flows strong; you leave calmer, lighter, and deeply touched. No filter needed—the beauty here is raw, real, and soul-stirring. A must-visit masterpiece where earth, sea, and sky unite in harmony. Tanah Lot Temple: where beauty meets eternity, and your heart finds peace.

Scenic Walking Areas
Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, located in Jatiluwih Village, Penebel Subdistrict, Tabanan Regency, Bali, is a picturesque area known for its lush and rolling rice terraces. It is considered one of the most beautiful views among all the terraced rice fields in Bali. Situated near Mount Batukaru, this UNESCO World Heritage Site preserves traditional Balinese farming techniques.
Very beautiful and well preserved rice terraces. It’s excellent that the local community are making efforts to preserve this space and the rice paddies. I’d recommend going in the morning as it gets more touristy in around noon onwards, also if you go in the morning you can beat the sun. There is not much shade when you are out walking on the terraces. We walked around for a few hours and overall just had a nice time in nature.
Oliver M — Google review
I visited this UNESCO-listed rice terrace, and out of all the rice terraces I explored in Bali — and I visited quite a few — this one is truly the best. If you have the chance, this is definitely the one worth seeing. Unfortunately, because of my driver, who wasn’t very patient and didn’t want to wait, I had to choose the shortest route. If I could visit again, I would absolutely choose the longest hike to fully enjoy the experience. I was lucky — there were absolutely no people because it was raining, so I got to enjoy the entire place in complete peace. It was incredible. There are also many cafés with beautiful views where you can sit and relax. I also visited a local warung right in the middle of the rice fields, where they serve brown rice grown directly on those very fields. The taste was amazing — truly unique and delicious. And don’t forget to bring a raincoat — if it rains, you’ll still be able to continue your walk through the rice terraces comfortably. Overall, this place is absolutely worth a visit.

Absolutely beautiful and incredibly extensive. Well-maintained pathways make it easy to get around. Rice terraces are perfectly manicured and photo-worthy. One price to get into the whole area, so no hassles like you would get at Tegallalang. Feels like less tourists, partly because it is further from town and not as popular on Instagram, though possibly even more beautiful. Also the area is so vast that you never feel like you’re surrounded by tourists. A must-see in Bali!
Jonathan H — Google review
It is the most amazing experience you will ever have in Bali. The rice fields are extensive and you can spend an entire day exploring the various paths that connect across the vast area. Not touristy but you can click awesome photos at every spot, enough to spam your folder with them. There are restaurants near the entrance that offer a variety of dishes at reasonable price. The cab pick-up and drop-off spot is right at the entrance, hassle-free! Recommend this over Tegallalang any day! Enjoy~

Jatiluwih is simply breathtaking — a sea of shimmering green terraces that seem to roll on forever. Walking the paths is easy and peaceful, with views that change at every turn. We decided to try a self-guided audio walk through the Voicemap app, and it really brought the landscape to life — explaining the Subak irrigation system, local farming rituals, and the stories behind this UNESCO-listed wonder. We stopped at a small coffee hut tucked right among the paddies — the view was unreal . Listening while we walked made the experience even more special; you really start to appreciate how much care and time goes into growing rice in Bali. It’s best to visit early morning when the air is cool and the light golden. Bring a hat, take your time, and just let the calm and the green of the rice fields surround you — Jatiluwih really is pure Bali magic. and with all the ricefields disappearing its so nice to see touches that remain of the real Bali.

My second time back at Jatiluwih to indulge in the stunning rice terraces — and it’s just as breathtaking as I remembered. It truly deserves its UNESCO Heritage title! 🌾 The view from the top is already magnificent, so no need to walk too far down to enjoy the beauty. Loved the peaceful atmosphere with gamelan music playing in the background and a few cute puppies running around — such a perfect touch to the whole experience. 🐶💚

Jatiluwih Rice Terraces are one of the most magical places I visited in Bali. As soon as you arrive, the sweeping views of emerald-green paddies that stretch across hillsides leave you speechless. The air is cool and fresh, especially in the morning, when mist clings to the terraces and gives everything a soft, dreamlike quality. It felt as if nature was putting on a show just for us. We spent several hours walking along one of the marked trails, winding through the terraces and stopping often just to breathe in the beauty. The walk felt immersive: quiet paths, birdsong, distant mountain peaks, and the gentle murmur of streams fed through the subak irrigation system. Every viewpoint gave a new frame for photos—some shallow, some sweeping, some intimate. Jatiluwih isn’t crowded like some of the more famous terrace spots; that peace made the experience feel more authentic. The terraces also carry rich culture — the subak system (a traditional community-managed irrigation method) is still very much alive here, adding depth and meaning to what might otherwise just be scenery. We saw farmers tending the fields, local warungs (eateries) with views over the terraces, and small cafes where we rested and enjoyed simple, excellent food. If you love nature, photography, culture, or just want a peaceful escape, Jatiluwih delivers more than you expect. Stunning landscapes, serenity, and a deep sense of place make it a highlight of Bali and a must-visit for anyone who wants more

Jatiluwih Rice Terrace is truly beautiful and absolutely worth visiting. It offers a real, expansive rice terrace experience, much more authentic and impressive than the smaller one near Ubud center. The area is huge, peaceful, and perfect for walking around and taking in Bali’s natural beauty. A must-see for anyone who enjoys scenic landscapes.

Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the picturesque Bedugul region of Bali, Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is a serene Hindu temple located on the shores of Lake Beratan. Surrounded by clear waters and lush gardens, this temple appears to float on the surface of the lake, offering stunning photo opportunities. Regarded as one of Bali's top temples, it provides a tranquil escape from the coastal crowds and boasts breathtaking views of the mountainous landscape.
Ahh, what a place Ulun Danu Temple is! 🌸 I feel a lot of people miss this spot since it’s about an hour’s ride from Ubud central and not overly hyped on Instagram. But believe me, it’s an absolute must-visit when in Bali. The drive itself is beautiful, and once you reach, the entire temple complex and grounds are just stunning. Everything feels serene and picture-perfect. Easy logistics – paid parking & smooth ticketing. Weather drama – it changes every few minutes! One moment it was bright and sunny, and the next it turned misty, foggy, and drizzly. Photography heaven – Balinese gates, lush landscapes, and the iconic temple floating on the lake make for unreal backdrops. There are also nice, reasonably priced restaurants inside the premises, and the washrooms are clean and well-maintained (paid). You can even rent Balinese outfits for a photoshoot — sadly I missed this due to the rain. I loved every bit of it. Tip: Go prepared for sudden weather shifts and give yourself enough time to just soak in the beauty. A must-visit, one of Bali’s gems.

The Ulun Danu Beratan Temple (also known as Pura Ulun Danu Bratan) is widely considered one of Bali's most beautiful and iconic landmarks. It is having stunning natural setting, spiritual significance, and picturesque architecture, though some also note its popularity as a tourist destination. Stunning Location and Scenery: The temple is set on the tranquil shores of Lake Bratan in the cool, misty Bedugul highlands. The multi-tiered shrines (meru) appear to be floating on the water's surface, especially when the lake level is high, making it one of the most photographed spots in Indonesia. Aesthetic and Photogenic: The combination of the temple, the lake's reflection, the lush manicured gardens, and the mountain backdrop creates a truly spectacular and "must-see" visual experience. It's often referred to as the "floating temple of Bali." Spiritual Significance: It is an important Hindu water temple dedicated to Dewi Danu, the goddess of water, rivers, and lakes, and plays a vital role in Bali's traditional *subak* irrigation system. Cooler Weather: Located about 1,200 meters above sea level, the area offers a refreshing break from the heat of the coastal regions. Accessibility: The grounds are generally well-maintained and easy for all types of visitors, including families and older travelers, to explore. Best Time to Visit: To avoid the crowds and the mist/fog that can roll in during the afternoon, it is highly recommended to visit early in the morning (around 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM). This also provides the best lighting for photos. Cash Only:Entrance fees and payments at many local stalls require cash. Boat Rides:For a unique view, visitors can take a traditional boat ride on Lake Beratan. The general consensus is that despite being a popular tourist spot, the sheer beauty of the temple's setting makes it absolutely worth visiting for anyone exploring central Bali.

Our visit to Ulun Danu Beratan Temple was truly a memorable experience. The temple's stunning location on the shores of Lake Beratan offers breathtaking views, especially with the misty mountains in the background. The architecture of the temple is intricate and beautifully preserved, reflecting Balinese culture and spirituality. Walking around the temple complex, I felt a sense of tranquility and reverence. The surrounding gardens are well-maintained and add to the peaceful atmosphere. While the area can get quite crowded, especially during peak hours, it didn’t detract from the overall beauty of the site. The staff was friendly and respectful, and I appreciated the opportunity to learn about the temple’s significance to local Balinese Hindus. One minor downside was the limited shade in some areas, so it’s best to visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the heat. Overall, Ulun Danu Beratan is a must-visit destination in Bali, offering both cultural insight and stunning scenery. I would definitely recommend it to anyone exploring Bali's spiritual sites!

Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is one of those places that just takes your breath away. The temples seem to float right on the lake with the mist rolling down from the mountains — it’s picture-perfect. But can be lots of people at various times. The gardens are well maintained and full of colour, with temples, shrines, and statues, and even a quiet Buddhist stupa tucked away in the gardens. . We noticed many people wandering through just taking photos, but not realising how much meaning and history this place holds. Its literally thousands of years old. so crazy. We used the Voicemap app for a self-guided audio tour, and it honestly made such a difference — it explained the stories behind the temples, the goddess of the lake, the central temple story floating in the lake, which is quite amazing, and why this Temple is so important to Balinese life. We would recommend this App if you're travelling without a guide, or if you're guide stays in the car like many do, whilst you walk through. Its so worth it Go early when it’s calm and the light hits the water — it’s just magic. Understanding what you’re seeing makes it all feel even more special. From there we then drove to Jatiluwih Rice Fields which are not far away, so saw two great places in one day.

I visited this place in the afternoon and spent around 2–3 hours there. Out of all the places I visited in Bali, this one truly stood out — it was one of the few that really impressed me. If you have the chance, I genuinely recommend coming here. It’s definitely worth it. I went on a weekday, and although there were people, it wasn’t crowded. It was easy to take photos at different spots without anyone in the background. The entire area is well-maintained and very beautiful. There’s also a small kids’ zoo where, for an additional fee, you can feed the animals. You can even take photos with different reptiles for an extra charge. Overall, I highly recommend visiting — it’s absolutely worth your time.

Ulun Danu Beratan Temple was an okay place to visit. The lake itself is beautiful, especially with the low clouds surrounding it, such a nice, cool atmosphere. Definitely bring a jacket because the weather up here is much cooler and the fresh air feels great. It does get quite crowded, and the overall experience feels a bit less authentic than expected, but the scenery still makes it a pleasant stop if you’re in the area.

My visit to temple in Bali was a pleasant experience. The temple stands on the edge of Lake Beratan in Bedugul and looks like it is floating on the water. Surrounded by green mountains and cool air, the place feels very calm. The temple is dedicated to the goddess of lakes and rivers. Its tall pagoda-style roofs and neat gardens make it very attractive. We also enjoyed the view of the lake. It is a peaceful and must-visit spot in Bali.

Beautiful lake and mountain backdrop. Peaceful and spiritual atmosphere. Great spot for photography. Cool climate and well-kept gardens. A must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Bali, perfect for culture lovers and nature enthusiasts alike.

For 100k this is the coolest place. Got to hang out with so many butterflies and atlas moths. Got to hold a rhino beetle, Alta’s moths and butterflies and also leaf bugs!

This is a family-friendly and kid-friendly place to see butterflies, moths, beetles, bugs, scorpions, and other insects. The area is not very huge, making it easy to monitor the kids, and a visit here doesn’t take too long. During our visit, we had a guide who provided information about the butterflies and other insects. She was very nice, friendly, and eager to answer our questions. We also had the chance to see the Barong butterflies (which are actually moths) and even hold them and put them on our hands or shirts with the help of the staff. Additionally, we saw cocoons hanging in the breeding room, which was fascinating. This place features a butterfly and insect museum, a semi-outdoor garden where butterflies freely fly around, and a cave showcasing other insects. However, many of the transparent cages inside the cave were empty. The place also includes a souvenir shop, parking lot, and some seats at the entrance. Overall, it is a nice park, but some areas were still under construction, leaving certain sections empty. I believe it has the potential to be even better in the future.

Alas Kedaton, also known as Alas Kedaton Monkey Forest, is a popular tourist attraction in Bali. Located in the village of Marga Subdistrict Steady, Tabanan city, this small forest temple and animal sanctuary is home to around 400 free-roaming monkeys. The dense forest is filled with beautiful green trees and offers visitors the chance to see long-tailed macaques in their natural habitat.

The place is full of monkeys, but they are not aggressive. The tour guide is friendly and skilled at managing the monkeys, ensuring they don’t disturb visitors, making us feel safe throughout our visit. However, toward the end, we discovered that the tour guide was also the shopkeeper. She almost begged us to purchase items at significantly inflated prices. I would recommend buying only if you're familiar with the original pricing.

Perhaps this place was more catered for tourists in the past. The day we visited, there was some kind of festival which was interesting to observe. We were approached by someone who we thought was an official temple guide who took us around the grounds and feed some monkeys, but in hindsight I didn't learn much about the temple from her. In the end she turned out to be a shop keeper from the delipidated shopping area of the temple grounds, borderline begging us to buy something. For a better monkey feeding experience, I'd rather visit Monkey Forest. There are also better looking temples with more historical interest around Bali too. Alas Kedaton was definitely not my favourite stop on our day trip, perhaps it's more a place for locals.

Super cool hidden gem, we were almost the only people there. Hundreds of monkeys, not aggressive like in the touristic places. You walk with a local guide through some shady paths and small temple structures in the forest and can feed the monkeys peanuts. At the end there are a few tame bats you can hold. Prices: Ticket 30.000 Peanuts 5.000 Guide: tips Holding the bat and giving it juice: 20.000 Professional printed picture with bat: 70.000 Can be hard to get a taxi afterwards. Ideally talk to a driver that you can call when you're done so they come pick you up. There are toilets at the site, and you can probably store luggage at the local guide's shop, but when we were there, there was no food for sale.

There exist better forests to see monkeys. It is very small (hardly a forest at all) with very few monkeys, and the guide at the end takes you to a store and tries to sell you things. You do not observe monkeys inside the forest which is their natural home. No climbing and no swimming can be seen there.
Evie K — Google review
Hardly any tourists due to another competing one on the other side of Bali. This makes this place fantastic to get yo close with friendly monkeys who are not aggressive at all because they haven't been spoilt by so many people. Guide takes you around for a low fee helps get you great photos with the monkeys. You really feel the forrest here with the monkeys.

The highlight is definitely the view: a beautiful 180-degree panorama of the rice fields. The staff were friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better.

Its a beautiful place to have lunch as it has the view of the UNESCO World heritage rice field as view. The restaurant is cute and the food was good. They also have buffet at a very reasonable price but its suitable only if you eat meat.

Great views of the river terrace. Food was varied. I enjoyed my curry but the rice was cooked poorly. Don't get the pineapple pie.

Been there several times. Great view from the main dining room but often fully reserved for bus loads. 2nd dining room has no view. Indonesian buffet is standard Indonesian favorites. Waiters do their best at lunch time considering how busy they are. Long wait for alacarte when busy. Go for the view.

Restaurant
Nestled amidst lush rice paddies, Warung Tepi Sawah offers a delightful escape for food lovers seeking an authentic Balinese experience. This charming local eatery embraces the farm-to-table philosophy, serving up fresh and high-quality dishes that showcase the region's culinary delights. With breathtaking views of terraced rice fields, diners can enjoy a serene atmosphere while savoring specialties like ayam betutu and grilled fish.
I love this tiny place, the view is amazing and the food is superlative, it's one the few places I know, where they cook the real amazing Indonesian dishes. They have tables spread around the garden, widely separated, so you have your privacy, and the view is stunning. All the food is super, I really love the ayam betutu and the soup. Off the beaten path, for sure a stop of you're around here at lunch time

Visited this place for the first time in Tuesday, 10 November 2020. In fact, I pass it almost every week on may way home to my village. Never expected that it is a great place to stop and have something to eat or to drink here. It has ample parking space for more that 10 cars. What's next? It looks as if it were a small warung. Yes the reception and the kitchen area is relatively small. But I guess you will be surprised to find that it has a number of outdoor huts for you seat with your loved ones while enjoying the gorgeous view of the rice fields while enjoying your lunch here. So great and something difficult to forget. Beo the food. Yes it two options for you. Grilled Fished or chicken cooked in balinese style. Although the price is a bit axpensive I think it is just valie for money. Sure for it.

First off; the view is absolutely stunning. The food was pretty good. We had ayam betutu and the chicken fell of the bone and was very tender. Also had a chicken club sandwich, it was not overly deluxe but tasty. The fries were a bit thin, but overall okay. Lastly I tried the asparagus soup, which was more a bouillon, and a bit salty. If I’m in the neighborhood i would go again. P.S. the lady waiter seemed to have a bit of an off day, wasn’t the smiliest of people 😉 The smoothie and the juice were yummy.

Surprisingly they serve excellent Betutu Chicken. Balance and savory mixed in one plate. My preference is with tipat/rice cake instead of rice.

You are paying for the (indeed great) location; not for the overpriced food! A baby portion of spaghetti is IDR 57.000. A soup (actually “air panas”) is IDR 45.000. The boss was not there to clarify the portion and prices. But the location and view is great for a stop!

Seafood restaurant
De Jukung Resto & Bar Tanah Lot Beach is a delightful culinary destination that offers an extensive menu featuring both Indonesian and Western dishes. Guests can savor a variety of flavors, from Chicken Spring Rolls and Jukung Salad Special to seafood delights like Fried Crab with Green and Nasi Goreng Seafood. The restaurant also serves comforting options such as Pasta Carbonara and Chicken Burgers, all while enjoying breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean.
Magic place with perfect meals and magnificent views. Excellent servise. I highly recommend diamond seafood set

The space has the most amazing spot for sunset viewing and ambience is second to none. You get to see the sun slowly setting across the horizon and it doesn't get too hot as well. Service crew are attentive and friendly. They are also fast to response to your needs. Food is underwhelming. Portion is small given the price but perhaps they go by 100g so it's rather hard to visualise the serving. In terms of taste it is still passable but definitely has room for improvement.

Came here since we were in Tanah Lot, we just followed the walkway inside & reached this place. Great ambience, very breezy & relaxing. Food & drinks are average, you’re really paying for the place, not the menu.

I've been to this restaurant during my trip in Bali, it was chosen by the local guide to have lunch before visiting Tanah Lot Temple. The place is very nice, with a big garden and a beautiful view on the ocean, the food instead was average.

Went to see the temples and enjoy the sunset with am early dinner by the sea. Nice to sit outdoors in the beautiful setting. But it's not the best place to enjoy the sunset from this vantage point. The food was presented beautifully. What completes the experience is the setting and the attentive staff. At sunset time, go to the other side where the park is to take better photos with the silhouette of the temples in the foreground.
Joseph T — Google review
The only good thing about this place is the view, which you can get for free by the temple. The food is terrible and zero value for money. Ordered the nasi goreng with chicken and the size of the chicken part was pitiful. I think it was baby sized. Overall, don't bother. If you're looking for good food, look somewhere else.

Loved the overall experience. From the food to the service to the view overlooking the Indian Ocean... What a treat to the eyes and the taste buds. Keep up the good work and wish you guys all the very best. Will recommend and definitely come back. Thanks again!

Restaurant
Nestled in Seminyak, Mrs Sippy Bali is a well-known beach club with an expansive shoreline retreat. It features the largest saltwater pool on the island, where visitors can relax and unwind. The sleek eatery at this popular establishment offers a variety of delectable seafood and prime cuts of meat, along with a selection of refreshing cocktails.
Vines, on for Mrs Sippy! Incredibly attentive staff, loved that we could get a dining table and hang for the whole day into the evening and not pay an arm and leg. The pool water was nice and warm, perfect for people watching, relaxing and watching everyone dive off the platform. Incredible place we'd definitely come back for!

I had one of my worst beach club experiences here. What was meant to be a relaxing day turned into a chaotic, headache-inducing nightmare. The entire place felt like a kids’ club — constant yelling, screaming, and zero control from staff. There was a family of about 20 people dominating the pool area, shouting every time their kids jumped into the water. It wasn’t occasional noise — it was nonstop, disruptive, and completely disrespectful to everyone else trying to enjoy the space. The club staff did nothing to manage the situation or enforce any sort of rules or atmosphere. If you’re looking for peace or music, forget it — the only sound you’ll hear is chaos. The space itself is small, so you can’t escape the noise no matter where you are. I paid a minimum spend and booked a pool bed expecting to relax and enjoy the music, but I couldn’t even hear it over the shouting. I left with a headache instead of a good time. This place should be clearly advertised as a family/kids club, not a beach club for adults looking to unwind. Total disappointment and not worth the money.
Sally S — Google review
We pre-booked a day bed for $250, which I’d definitely recommend it was right by the pool and fit four people sitting up. We arrived around 11:20 AM and it was still pretty quiet, which made it nice to enjoy the space before the crowd rolled in. Overall, I really enjoyed this beach club. The pools were clean, and the diving board was a fun touch! Drinks were on the pricier side, but that’s expected at a place like this. I ordered the nachos and thought they were pretty good. This spot has more of a kid friendly vibe, most likely due to the diving board. It would’ve been nice to have a few more bean bags around. One thing to note you can’t bring your own towels, and you’ll need to pay $5 to rent one of theirs.

Excellent beach club offering delicious food and attentive, friendly staff. The DJ creates a great atmosphere with quality music throughout the day. The venue features billiards, table tennis, and a variety of other activities for guests to enjoy. Facilities, including washrooms and changing rooms, are clean and well-maintained. A perfect destination for both relaxation and entertainment.
Alina B — Google review
The place is not too big compared with other beach clubs. I love that it has many areas to sit and relax, including the pool table, a 2-bar area with actual stools. Dance floor is big enough. The fee to sit on those stools is not exorbitant. So you won't be standing the entire night as if spending at least IDR 1mio (for tickets and a couple of drinks) is not even worth being considered as a valuable guest. So Kudos! Will definitely return soon.

Amazing vibes at Mrs Sippy Bali! We had such a beautiful experience here. The place has great energy, awesome music, and the whole atmosphere makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. A special shout-out to Olla,honestly, he made our day. He has such a warm, fun, and lively personality, and he helped us with everything: from the entry to finding the perfect place to sit, to giving us all the information we needed. He made us feel looked after the whole time. Thank you Olla for the good vibes and amazing service! Highly recommend Mrs Sippy Bali — 10/10 experience.

Great place to come and relax, it is loud because they have a DJ but it is still enough for conversation. Prices are a little expensive but it is as expected for a place with so much atmosphere and great service. Day bed prices are a bit expensive however if you come with multiple people it becomes quite affordable. All and all a very enjoyable space, there are kids and families, singles and couples, no dominant group and the vibes are great.

Kim Soo is more than just a furniture shop; it's a stylish cafe with delectable brunch options. The gallery, located in Seminyak, Bali, was established in 2015 within a charming old Dutch Colonial-style building. Inspired by the spiritual surroundings and bohemian atmosphere of its doorstep, Kim Soo has become an iconic destination for design enthusiasts. The space features thick white masonry walls that exude natural calm and personal style while showcasing exceptional Indonesian artisans' work.
Wonderful bijou restaurant with delicious breakfast and lunch. The prices are midrange and the staff is helpful. Seating is adequate. Drinks like smoothies and wine of are high quality. The bread is fresh like the salads and ingredients. Relaxing to sit here. Restaurant closes at 17:30. Visit this place!

Kim Soo Seminyak is honestly one of my favourite spots to chill with a morning coffee. Love the vibe here, and I always end up finding some gorgeous new homewares to take home. Such a great place to start the day!

Gorgeous homeware shop like those down under. It’s a little wonderland of curios, furniture and crockery. We seeked them out after watching someone posted on YouTube about them They run a cafe at the front and sides of their premises too which is pretty shady and offers a respite from the sun Smiles all around here cos even the bloke (whom I’m guessing is the owner) was greeting us when he spotted us browsing around the shop
Gary G — Google review
Kim Soo Home is an absolute gem for both food lovers and home decor enthusiasts. The cafe’s aesthetic vibe makes it a perfect spot for anyone who enjoys beautifully designed spaces. Though the prices for their decor items are on the higher side, the quality and style make them worth every penny. I had their carrot cake, which was hands down the best I’ve ever had—soft, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness. It’s also totally Instagram-worthy, and a must-visit if you’re into home decor. Highly recommend!

Lovely place, came here for the ice coffee late and didn’t disappoint. The nasi goreng set also super delicious, you can ask to add spicy chili if you like. The place is small and cozy. The shop also pretty unique they sell curated home decor and all seems to be very special. Love their jars and pillows. Highly recommend to stop by when in Seminyak, Bali.
