2. Oneeighty at The Edge Bali, Pecatu
The view at the edge pool was so nice. You can swim in the infinity pool which overlooks a cliff into the ocean. The ambiance, the food, the view, the bottom glass pool is superb. A world class beauty!
3. Bukit Belong, Kelungkung
This is it. One the beautiful view that you can see in Bali. It’s located in Klungkung about 1hr driving from Ubud. The best time to go here is in the evening around 4-5pm so it’s not too hot. I recommended this place to young people. Because the steps to get to the hill is quite dangerous. There was only two of us as a tourist and some locals. The security over there said that the place is quite crowded on Sunday.
4. Tukad Cepung Waterfall – Tembuku
Very Artistic place to get a nice photo of the waterfall! This waterfall is inside a cave and usually if you come around 10.00 to 13.00 PM you can get a nice photo with a Sunday entering the cave which makes it beautiful. Come early as it’s very crowded during peak hours and it’s really hard to get a perfect landscape photo when there’s a lot of tourists.
5. Mount Batur Sunrise – Kintamani
Hiking to see the sunrise is the best thing you can do in Bali. The view is amazing. The moment when you see the sunrise when Mount Agung shows its shape, the colors. Breathtaking.
Plus when you are going down to visit the monkeys 🙂

8. Angel Billabong – Nusa Penida
This place is a must while on a trip to Bali. It’s a natural pool, with crystal clear water through which you can see in numerous shades of the green and blue bottom. A most picturesque spot for Instagram photos or even a wedding takes. But be very very careful about going down to the infinity pool. Too many deaths occurred. Listen to your tour guide. Although it’s not always open to going down into the pool, still you can have a lifetime view at such a beautiful place.
