Good beaches in the islands of Bali areas. I like for walking beside beaches front and enjoying nature environments and local foods.

Not the most attractive beach to be honest and very dirty in places. Plenty of resorts along the beach where you can go to the pools(for a fee). Plenty of food outlets across the whole spectrum of quality (😂) and a massive shopping mall along the boardwalk. Extremely tourist oriented and very busy.

This beach is filled with tourists, yet the ambiance feels relaxed and calm. Biked with my son along the path. Shops, food stalls around, Icon Mall Bali is here as well. (End of July 2025)

Sanur Beach is hands down my favorite sunrise spot in Bali. The vibe here is so much more relaxed compared to the busier southern beaches. I love how the golden morning light hits the traditional jukung fishing boats lined up along the shore - it's absolutely magical. What makes it 5-star worthy: - The calm turquoise waters are perfect for swimming (no crazy waves here) - The 5km paved beach walk is ideal for morning jogs or bike rides - Local warungs serve amazing nasi campur right on the sand - Less crowded than Kuta/Seminyak but still has great amenities - Stunning sunrise views over Nusa Penida on clear days Don't miss: ✓ Breakfast at one of the beachfront cafes ✓ Renting a bike to explore the coastline ✓ The Sunday morning market when it's on Pro tips: 1. Arrive by 5:30am for prime sunrise viewing 2. Bring small cash for fresh coconut vendors 3. Water shoes help with some rocky sections Sanur proves you don't need wild parties to have an amazing beach experience. The peaceful atmosphere, gorgeous views, and local charm make it my top-rated beach in Bali. Perfect for families, couples, or anyone needing a tranquil escape!

I think this beach was alternative for those who didn't really like crowds It wasn't so crowd like kita There were many cafes for drinking coffe or eating snacks Not so far from that, there is a mosque there If you stay at Prime Hotel, this beach is the nearest

​You can enter just by paying a parking fee of 3,000 IDR. It's a favorite spot for jogging and cycling along the beach. There are also many cafes here with a wide selection of food. This is one of the best spots for sunrise.

Very beautiful place , if you are in Bali then dont miss this chance go to Nausa pendia via fairy fron Sanur . Bech is also very clean and lovely.

Free to enter the facility, only need to make a donation at the end of the amount you want to pay. However if you choose to take a baby turtle for release into ocean it is 150k per turtle and then 80k per person for the boat ride. Sad to see some turtles are in smaller pools than they need, some turtles are very big for the size of the pool and they just swimming against the walls trying to get out. There are lots of eggs that get hatched daily. In the pool of the baby turtles a fair few amount of them appear to be dead, but I guess that’s normal for nature, not everything can survive after being hatched. Not able to order grab or gojek from this location, so make sure your return trip for a taxi is already organised.

WARNING: TAXI SCAM. THERE WILL BE A BUNCH OF SUS-LOOKING TAXIS WAITING OUTSIDE. THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT NO CARS ARE ALLOWED TO GO IN AND THEY WILL OVERCHARGE YOU IF YOU ACCEPT THEIR SERVICES. If you want to book a taxi online, you need to walk at least 2km away from this location. Overall, I love the experience! We get to release the turtle and we had a volunteer doing a tour guide for us. They explained everything in detail which made the whole experience even better. Releasing the turtle was 250k IDR in total; 80k for boat ride (one time charge per person) and 150k for the turtle. You can opt only for boat ride. You will also get an adoption certificate if you release a turtle, which is super cute! Everything was super fun and great, except the bunch of taxis waiting outside who tried to scam us. Please be aware.

Visiting the Turtle Conservation and Education Center in Bali was an eye-opening and deeply meaningful experience. Located away from the busier tourist areas, it offers a chance to connect with one of nature’s most fascinating creatures while also supporting an important cause. The center focuses on the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of sea turtles, and from the moment you step in, you sense the genuine passion and dedication of the people working there. The educational aspect was especially impressive. Staff took the time to explain the different stages of a turtle’s life, the challenges they face from pollution and poaching, and the role conservation efforts play in their survival. Seeing the hatchlings was a highlight – tiny, fragile, and full of life. Holding them, even for a brief moment, made the entire visit feel very personal and impactful. The facility itself is modest but authentic, clearly prioritizing the well-being of the turtles over aesthetics. There’s also the opportunity to participate in releases, sending young turtles back into the ocean – an emotional and memorable experience that leaves you with a real sense of contribution. Overall, the visit was both educational and inspiring. It’s not just a tourist stop, but a reminder of the responsibility we all share in protecting marine life. A must-visit in Bali for anyone who values nature and conservation.

I honestly did expect more after seeing so many positive reviews. I do think this centre wants to help turtles who have been injured but definitely need more training on how to help them and need more funds for bigger pools. On saying that our tour guide was quite knowledgeable. It was sad to see the turtles in very little water, the ones that are going to be released, that's OK. A few are unable to ever be released so it was sad to see their forever habitat. 😞 The baby turtles being released in the middle of the ocean?? I couldn't and no one in our group would ever think this was by any means ethical, and left me thinking it was just about getting money. ****WARNING, you can not book online taxi, gojek or grab to pick you up from this place. You can only be dropped off. They have their own organisation who are quite horrible about it and want you to go with them at a very expensive price. They were on two ways, having one motorbike go and stop any taxi that may have come to collect us. We instead walked to the bridge (2kms) and ordered one. Definitely left a sour taste and I wouldn't recommend Serengan Island to anyone

The place is quite small, and you’ll only see a few turtles, but it’s a meaningful and heartwarming experience. A guide will show you around, and the payment is donation-based, which makes it accessible and feels genuinely community-driven. If you’re lucky enough to visit on a hatch day, you might have the chance to “adopt” a baby turtle, take a short boat ride, and release it into the ocean. It’s a truly magical moment—especially for kids. Afterward, they’ll wait for your return and print a personalized certificate with the name you’ve chosen for your turtle. It’s a fabulous and touching experience, and I truly hope the funds collected continue to support their important work. Make sure to contact them ahead of your visit as they might not have turtles ready yet. Also not there are no taxis there so make arrangements for drop off and pick up.

This place was AMAZING. The staff is so knowledgeable and they are taking such good care of the injured turtles. Releasing a baby sea turtle into the wild was so special. My kids loved every second we spent there.

Highly highly recommended making the trip to visit the conservation centre. It’s small but the volunteers there take the time to explain everything to you, you can see all the rescued turtles with injuries and the babies which have hatched from rescued eggs. The release of a turtle costs 230k per person and it’s truly a heartwarming experience. It really is not a lot to donate (especially us folks coming from high income countries) and you can see the money goes to good use. (Can donate via PayPal or card). There’s no touching of turtles or anything for money making schemes as other parks. To all the comments about the enclosures being too small//not clean enough- please remember that this is Indonesia and run by charity/volunteers. There’s no endless supply of funds to improve it and they do the best they can. Many of the turtles are sick and missing limbs so of course they are not moving around a lot 🤦🏼‍♀️otherwise they would be back in the sea.

It’ my 4th time in Bali and I’ve never booked Gili Getaway speedboat. This time we went from Serangan to Bangsal Lombok with Gili Getaway. So nice online booking and service. Transfer from the hotel to port was perfect, stuff in the office is so kind and professional. Our experience on the sea was amazing. Free wifi, so clean boat, comfort seats, amazingly nice and helpful stuff. You can watch movie and just enjoy in the boat. This is my favorite speedboat agency and we will booked it again. Great job!!!!

Best best best boat service we’ve had in Indonesia!!! The staff is so sweet and nice and professional. The ride was fast and smooth. They even gave us mentos at the beginning and wet towels at the end. And if you wanted to sit on the sunroof they have towels and sunscreen too. All the bad reviews for this company I don’t understand, cause weather and rough sea are things they cannot control. They operate very safely and I felt comfortable the whole time. Will be recommending this place to everyone and for sure book again!

After researching several fast boat providers, we decided to go with Gili Getaway. We were pleasantly surprised by how well everything was organized. We were picked up from our hotel in Seminyak right on time and taken to the check-in terminal. Communication was clear and easy throughout. The boat is a bit smaller and only has fans, but overall the ride was perfectly fine. I would definitely recommend this company – even though they’re a bit more expensive, we were very satisfied overall.

Nusa penida to Gili Gede Extremely disappointing experience with Gili Getaway. We paid 950,000 IDR per person for a transfer from Nusa Penida to Gili Gede, and ended up waiting over 2.5 hours at the port due to a mechanical issue with the boat — with no alternative provided. The staff on-site offered no clear communication. When we asked for updates, they laughed among themselves and spoke in their local language instead of helping. The toilets at the port were locked the entire time, leaving us with no access to basic facilities, which is unacceptable given the long wait. We contacted the company through WhatsApp, and all we received was vague, scripted responses telling us to “be patient.” No solution, no compensation offered, and no guarantee that we’ll get our money back. For the price paid, this was a completely unprofessional and frustrating experience. I would not recommend Gili Getaway to anyone.

I was at the harbor this morning at the same time as the guests leaving these harsh reviews, and I feel compelled to share the truth about what actually happened. Yes, the boats were canceled last-minute (not by Gili Getaway), but by the Harbor Master, due to a sudden swell that made conditions unsafe for crossing. That’s not something Gili Getaway can control. Safety has to come first, and anyone who’s traveled in this region knows how quickly weather conditions can change overnight. Despite this, I saw the Gili Getaway team doing everything in their power to calmly and professionally manage a very challenging situation. Staff were clearly stressed but remained respectful, informative, and patient, even as a few guests became aggressive, shouting at staff and making unrealistic demands like immediate refunds (when they had booked through third-party agents) or asking them to pay for hotels and taxis.. which are obviously not part of their service nor their responsibility. One of the most vocal guests was absolutely rude to staff and other travelers. It was uncomfortable to witness. It’s easy to write a one-star review from behind a keyboard, but I saw the situation unfold firsthand—and I saw Gili Getaway doing their best with what they had. To anyone reading this: don’t let these angry reviews paint the wrong picture. I’ve traveled with Gili Getaway many times before, and I will again. They run a professional, safety-first operation, and I respect that. Especially when things go sideways.

Overpriced and Overhyped — Wouldn’t Use Again We took Gili Getaway from Gili T to Serangan. For a service that claims to be “first class,” it felt far from it. The ferry is small and cramped, with no air-conditioning, making the already long 3+ hour journey incredibly uncomfortable in the Bali heat! The waves are high so the water can enter thru the windows so you have to keep them shut. The ride itself was extremely bumpy and nauseating. The fans on the wall are not helpful. To make things worse, Wi-Fi was advertised but didn’t work, and punctuality was an issue — the boat left late. You can book your seat on the website but it isn’t followed on board. The meeting point is the Gili T Night Market which is chaotic and has unclean tables and seats, not what you’d expect for a premium-priced service. The road is uneven and filled with stones so the wheels of your suitcase can get damaged. We’ve traveled with Ekajaya to Gili T from Padang Bai, which is a bigger ferry so felt more stable and offered more space, had AC, was on time and actually cost less (maybe because the trip was shorter). No snacks sold on board either. So plan ahead. We booked a paid private taxi to our hotel in Nusa Dua through them given ride-share apps aren’t allowed at the Serangan port. The same was fine. Overall, Gili Getaway felt like a classic case of marketing over substance. Wouldn’t recommend unless you’re left with no other option

I booked two boats with this company. On first occasion our afternoon trip was cancelled due to bad weather anx they have arranged us another boat at another company in the morning. Second time we went from Nusa Penida to Serangan and the trip was enjoyable, the crew and staff were very helpful and one hour flew by.

Not so far from the hotel, just walking a few minutes to reach this beach. Nice view and atmosphere. Also has penyu or turtle conservation. All kinds of facilities for beach activities they have it. Complete. Nice beach with small of wave, due has corral barrier on the sea side.

Sindu Beach is such a nice spot to chill! It’s super close to Icon Mall, and the vibe in the afternoon is calm and breezy. You can grab some affordable snacks or drinks from local vendors, and even rent a bike to ride along the beach. The car parking area is very limited.

Beautiful spot for sunrise 🌅 But it depends on the weather. Many locals coming for a bath or picnic Nice view with the sound of birds and insects around.

I like it. The waves was calm and the view also nice. Enjoying a gentle breeze here will be a pleasant moment, reminds you of a sweet summer.

This is one of the beaches that make up the near 5km long Sanur Beach and waterfront area. It is located near the Northeast end features a variety of eateries, beach market and sea turtle conservation centre. There are places with lounge chairs and what appears to be good swimming conditions. The main promenade passes by making for easy access to other beaches to the south and west that also make up the entire Sanur Beach.

Amazing beach with a swimming pool and turtle conservation 🐢 The beach is good, I came at day and night At day you can see a sunrise At night you can see a lot of star and even a star constellation However the foods are crazy expensive like a balinese rice for 160k and salad for 90k, but some of them have a pretty normal price like a burger for 15k or ice cream for 7k Overall 7.8/10 👍

Been there 3 times now, and I cannot but advise you, if you have the opportunity to visit Sanur, there is no place else to be. Nice temp all year round, very friendly Balinese people, good food at reasonable prices. Accommodations from (very) cheap till 5* resorts. All you need (or want) for a relaxed stay .....

Great little food market that is worth visiting. Lots of local products at super cheap prices. This is a great spot if you are on a budget. I didn't see any toilets here, but the icon shopping centre is not that far away & there is some in there.

I was in Bali for five days before leaving for Sulawesi, and this night market was my daily visit. You can reach there easily by Grab or your own ride. Only thing is if you park at the entrance there's a 2000 rupiah parking fee. The parking lot is manned by two to three people and they do watch your bike, so I didn't mind paying. The market itself is not that big, but there's plenty of stalls to try, you can easily eat for a week without exhausting all the options. This is not one of those places for tourists, plenty of local people eat here on a daily basis too as the food is really good, yet the price is cheap and reasonable. You probably need to have had a bit of experience with local food in order to know what I mean, but Indonesian food, as the food in many tropical countries, is not some exotic cuisine that belongs in fancy restaurants. They're simply, down to earth and most enjoyable at home or street corners, such as this place. That's why I reckon those fine dining Indonesian restaurants are completely the wrong idea to start with. I've tried a few, personally I think they're overpriced, the food was rather bland and most importantly just downright boring. They usually try to make the meal into some high-end clean looking dish by stripping off what made them tasty and colourful in the first place, which is obviously not going to work. That being said, you also need to watch out not to go down the road of family-style cooking too hard. Otherwise, the meal becomes too simple to have any characters too. Hence, I have to say a night market is the perfect place for it.

My first time visiting a night market in Bali—and I’m glad it was this one! The market offers mostly Balinese and Indonesian food, with a lively mix of locals and tourists enjoying the local flavors. I tried nasi campur from a corner stall where you pick your own dishes. It was delicious and incredibly affordable—just 18K! Highly recommend visiting if you’re around the Sanur area and looking for a local, budget-friendly food experience.

Gets busy variety of food to try average price is $3 a dish. There is a little shop that sells cosmetics, skin care products it's a little pokey to find what you want but prices are cheaper than supermarket and the stall holder is very helpful and friendly.

A very small night market. When I came there were only like 10 stalls? I thought there were more. I bought nasi campur, superr cheap and delicious tooo. Also bought sate kambing, cheaper compared to sate kambing in Malaysia (priced at RM0.75 in Nov 2025, Rp30k for 10 skewers). There are also lalapan, bakso, juice stalls and few others there. If you want to come here, I recommend walking or use goride. Cars could take more time to arrive as there were ongoing construction/maintenance. It is about 5 min walk from ICON Mall

Average. Small place with 20-25 stalls selling local food. Good place if you wish to try some local cuisine. Reasonable pricing. Many tourists and some locals.

Disappointed...to be fair though, we have had lots of rain so maybe that might be the reason there were only a couple of businesses open for food. There were plenty of people buzzing around who I'm sure would of stopped for food if it was available. Maybe on a good evening there would lots more open...I'll try again on another night!

Top floor has a massive Supermarket Department store. Very few customers. Selling all groceries, bakery, souvenirs, Electronics, Home furniture, Natural body products, Bags etc. 1st floor has toys, clothes & an Amusement centre for kids. A&W & KFC also here.

Spacious parking area. This place needs more maintenance, some parts of the area are very hot and humid. The staff needs more training and briefing about the products they sell. A little bit smile will be great for customers. Keep it up!

Carrefour supermarket has closed and now it’s a super dull, boring and empty like a ghost town no-brand market. On the top floor there is Transmart which is probably running at a loss. It’s almost completely empty, no air conditioning (!) a clear sign of decline. The produce and bakery shelves are half empty. The new Transmart seems to have inherited a lot more space than it can make use of, so they just separated half of the floor with shelves and left the other half empty. This place is not worth visiting, at least for the lack of AC. Go to Transmall instead, which also has a much more pleasant Transmart.

I'm not so keen on Carrefour. I really don't like their parking arrangements for motorbikes for example and they open very late, at 10am. I think it's also quite expensive compared to other supermarkets. The pastry selection is good, but they are weak on bread. Fruits and vegetables are expensive (three times as much as the local market). They have some great stuff for baby & mum though.

This is a great place to shop for everything there is to shop. There are food courts, electronics shops, souvenirs, supermarket and some fast food restaurants (Wendy's, KFC and A&W). There is a bakery shop inside this supermarket which sells variety of cakes and buns and many more. Bottom point is you will be able to get all the thing you need and you dont want too (oops i did it again...)

Everything i wanted under i roof. Transport was convenient and plenty. Using Grab is almost cheaper by half, at least by me. Price was very reasonable. Vegetables and fruits were fresh. Indeed a one stop convenient stop

Shop shop shop Everything can be found here Food?snack?pet food, pet accessories And even furniture also available here Seasonal goods also available here like for now is Christmas tree and Christmas accessories With competing prices too. Enjoy shopping n also dine in for some foodcourt restaurant menu.
