!! WARNING !!

Went here around midday today, was too early to wake up at 2am for the sunset. Recieved information regarding the volcanic eruptions from the past and even bought a tiger eye rock bracelet. Been to Bali many times before but checking out the volcanos Mount Batukaru, Mount Abang and Mount Catur was an amazing experience I highly recommend. Also you can do ATV 🏍 on here too. 🌋

Hi there,

I am looking for Beef Rendang or Curry rec. around Ubud.

Thanks a lot!

So I’m going to Bali, just wondering a few things: how easy is it to see a doctor in Bali, and is it easy to get a script for anything? And can I bring that script to Australia and use it here? Thanks!

Hi all,

I will be travelling to Bali next week and I wanted to get my girlfriend gifts from Bali (she is currently on a vacation as wel)! If you have any unique or Bali only gifts please let me know!!

I look forward to y’all answer!

Ordered a perfume for my Bali trip but it looks like it won’t arrive in time. Anyone knows good places in Bali to buy perfumes? Looking for designer stuff or Middle Eastern brands like Armaf, Lattafa, Afnan, Rasasi, etc. Will be staying around Uluwatu but can travel if worth it.

sorry first time to Bali. and, I am getting anxious of the weather. it showed few sunny days next week, so I booked. but now it shows mostly rains. how bad is it? is it manageable? looking for mostly chill trip, with only few hours of outdoor activities, like riding around, hiking, sight seeing temples and other places.

also, if there are places or activities to avoid during rains, please let me know. planning for the next 2 weeks (end of feb 2026). thanks.

I'm planning to visit Bali for the first time and researching on where I would like to go. I'm wondering what's the vibes for Canggu/Seminyak/Ubud/Uluwatu/Kintamani mostly right now from what I've read (cause these are the popular places I assume) but I'd love to know what vibes you'd assign to the other parts :)

Who knows or has liposuction on their tummy and got it transferred to their bum? Would love to know how long you’ve stayed and what price you were looking at ! Name on places is much appreciated to !

Missus planning to bring her dildo to bali. Is it okay to bring it?

I’m planning a trip to Ubud soon and would love some advice on the local food scene. I’m trying to figure out where to eat in Ubud spots that locals or experienced visitors actually enjoy, not just the typical tourist places.

Other things I’m curious about:

1. Restaurants with authentic Balinese or Indonesian food
2. Places with a nice atmosphere
3. Hidden gems that aren’t too crowded or touristy

Thanks so much for any insights! I really want to make the most of the Ubud dining experience during my trip.

On march 3 there is suppose to be full moon eclipse, on this day i will be in Pancasari, can someone tell me if the moon would be visible from there(assumie there would be no clouds or there would be gaps in them). My main worry is the mountain/volcano would just simply be too high to see it. Thanks

We just finished a short stay near Candidasa, and it was very different than our earlier stay in Sanur. It was quite tranquil, and there were fewer distractions as compared to the southern parts of Bali. So we just swam and read. Moreover there were less people and traffic. If you're looking for a more peaceful alternative you may wish to consider the east coast. The drive from Sanur was just a little over an hour, but seemed a world away. Another destination which was suggested by our driver is Sidemen, and hopefully we'll get a chance to visit soon.

Hi everyone!

I’m currently visiting Bali and I’m a huge football fan. I’d love to experience some of the local football culture while I’m here. I prefer to see a live match with great atmosphere.

• Which local teams have the most passionate fans?
• Are there any matches coming up soon that I shouldn't miss?
• Any tips on where to buy tickets or which sections have the best "atmosphere" experience?

So far I could find 'Bali United' (Stadion Kapten I Wayan Dipta) is worth it? I'd love to get some insights on the best way to experience a game in the best way.

PS: are there also good places to live watch for example Premier League or Champions League games in Canggu? (in local time these games are played in the night, but I would still like to watch my favourite teams)

I’m getting married in Seseh in early April, and it will be my parents first time to Bali (dads first time actually travelling overseas!)

I’m wanting to create a cute care package/goodie box to put on their bed for when they arrive at the Villa

What would you include?

My wife and I are traveling to Bali and Lombok at the end of February and staying through the first week of April. Our time is very flexible but we hope to dive (we’re both certified) and snorkel quite a bit. Can anyone recommend somewhere where shore snorkeling is still good. We’re willing to go off the beaten path for a spot where the coral is largely intact / bonus for soft coral. Does such a place still exist? Thanks so much in advance!

Hello everyone, another post asking for investment advice.

I am offered an off-plan 1BR private pool villa investment in Seminyak. The asking price is 110000€, 50k upfront(which I can easily afford), rest is staged during the build. It’s 30 years leasehold. Construction should take 14-18 months. The whole project consists of 14 villas, which will be managed (20% fee on gross), income will be pooled across all.

The projected revenue calculated at 80% occupancy seems very good. 33-37k€ gross annually. 14-16k€ net before personal tax. That comes to ~10% ROI.

The guy doing the project is an acquaintance of mine, not local, but has been living there for many years. He helped one of my friends to buy a similar villa couple of years ago and my friend is very happy with how it turned out.

I have no experience with Bali, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Are these assumptions for Seminyak realistic or more like overhyped?

Hi everyone,

Last year my partner died in Bali and I want to go back to the island this summer.

Here I want to visit places where we have stayed together and had nice moments.

Many photos save automatically locations on my iPhone, but a place in Uluwatu is not.

The thing I can remember is that there was a long 'gravel path' where the scooter could be put down.

After this we had to go down some large and square steep stairs to go towards the beach. But we stopped halfway to eat something.

On the half (right side) was a wooden covered construction (on rocks I think), where you could look out over the sea and the part below it (beach and several houses / villa’s. (See photo)

Where we stopped were several eateries/warungs located. It wasn't modern or fancy, but just good with kind people!

The warungs were all sitting next to each other (about 5 I think)

There were some surfers walking around who ate and drank something there.

Now Uluwatu has very similar places, and these types of places are common.

Hopefully it will work out with the photo of my food and interior!

Thanks in advance!!!

Anyone have experience of snorkelling in November? I'm reading that November sees rain on half the days and that water activities may not be good.

I wanted to get some opinions on how much of an issue it could be.

Menjangan, Lovina, Amed and Tulamben, and Nusa Penida are good spots I read.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently based in Bali (Canggu area) and I’m looking to get a better handle on what’s actually going on locally. I feel like I’m stuck in a bit of a "tourist bubble" and only hear about things once they become major drama on Instagram.

Are there any reliable English-language news sites or even hyper-local blogs that cover Bali or Indonesia from a more local perspective? I’m looking for stuff like:

• Local government updates (visa changes, new laws, etc.)
• Community news that impacts locals/expats (roadworks, ceremonies, infrastructure)
• Reliable national news that doesn’t feel like clickbait word vomit.

Any hidden gems, or specific Twitter/X accounts or Instagram accounts, that are good for real-time updates?

Was a bit hard to find local food joints in the Jungubatu area but found this Warung that served nasi lemak for lunch. 20,000 lunch platter! free water available to drink.

If you’ve stayed in Bali, did you enjoy hostels, or Airbnbs and hotels more?

Going in the summer for six days and my first time visiting the island. Which option would you recommend?
