Ten Quiet Corners of Bali Worth Seeking Out

Bali sees more visitors every year, which means the classic sights — the cliffside temple, the swing over the jungle — now come with a queue. The good news is that a short drive in almost any direction still turns up a quiet terrace, a family-run warung, or a beach with more dogs than tourists.

We asked our Bali-based guides to name the places they actually send friends to, not just first-time visitors. The list skews toward the north and east of the island, where the pace slows down and the rice terraces get even greener.

A few are a short detour from our Magical Bali Experience itinerary — ask your guide to work one in if you have a free afternoon.
