Hidden beneath the cliffs of Pecatu, Nunggalan is the Bali beach you have to earn: a steep walk down to sand, open ocean, grazing cows, hammocks, reggae and the wonderfully improbable Bikini Bottom.

Just thirty minutes across the water from Sanur, Nusa Lembongan offers mangroves, beaches, marine life and something increasingly difficult to find on mainland Bali: a slower rhythm.

High in the cool Bedugul mountains, Bali Botanical Garden offers 157 hectares of extraordinary vegetation, open space and something increasingly precious on the island: silence.
