Where to Go & What to Do on a Vacation in Bali (Tailored to Your Travel Style)
Planning a trip to Bali but not sure where to even start? Whether you're dreaming of matching swimsuits on a girls’ trip, romantic sunset dinners for two, or a fun-filled family adventure with the kids—Bali can be the perfect destination. But here's the thing: Bali isn’t one-size-fits-all. What works for honeymooners might not work for a surf-chasing backpacker or a mom traveling with toddlers. So let’s break it down a bit—and help you figure out how to plan your best Bali vacation.

Bali Looks Different for Everyone…
Girls’ Trip? Think beach clubs in Canggu, spa days in Ubud, and floating breakfasts in dreamy jungle villas.
Honeymoon vibes? Private pool villas, candlelit cliffside dinners in Uluwatu, and that just us energy in places like Nusa Lembongan.
Traveling with kids? You'll want a mix of chill beach days (Sanur is perfect), interactive animal parks, and safe, central villas with kitchens and space to play.
Adventure seekers? Volcano sunrise hikes, snorkeling with manta rays, waterfall-hopping, and jungle swings.
Wellness escape? Yoga retreats, organic cafés, sound healing in Ubud, and detox juices every morning.
The point is: Bali has everything—but picking the right areas and activities can make or break your trip.
Yes, You Can DIY Your Trip…
If you’ve got time and energy, you can totally research and piece together your itinerary. There’s Google, TripAdvisor, YouTube vlogs, and travel blogs (like this one!). But here’s the thing: no two travelers are the same—and not all recommendations are made with you in mind.
Also, there are things people just don’t talk about online enough… like:
What kind of visa you need depending on your trip
Which areas are safer or more walkable
How to avoid common tourist scams
What health precautions you should take
How to deal with ATM tricks and currency exchanges
