Near Bali Museum
Bajra Sandhi Monument 2.3 km
A monument to the struggles of the Balinese people through history, standing in a large square in front of the governor's office in Denpasar. Its shape recalls the bell a priest rings in prayer, and inside are dioramas of the island's past.
Sanur Beach 6.0 km
A long stretch of beach east of Denpasar that has grown into a small town of its own, with a seafront path running beside calm, reef-sheltered water. It faces east, which makes it Bali's beach for sunrise rather than sunset.
Kuta 10 km
A former fishing village in southern Bali that was one of the first places on the island to take up tourism, now a busy beach town close to the airport. Its long sandy beach and steady waves made it a favourite of surfers, many of them from Australia.
Pura Taman Ayun 14 km
A temple and garden compound in Mengwi, ringed by a wide moat, with tiered meru shrines rising inside its walled courtyards. Its water features are part of the subak irrigation system that has fed Bali's rice fields for centuries.
Tanah Lot 15 km
A sea temple perched on a rock formation just off Bali's west coast, cut off from the shore when the tide comes in. The shrine on top is an ancient Hindu pilgrimage site, and its outline against the sunset is one of the most photographed views on the island.
Ubud Monkey Forest 16 km
A forest sanctuary on the edge of Ubud, home to some 1,260 Balinese long-tailed macaques at the last count. Paths wind under tall trees past moss-covered temples, and the monkeys move freely among the visitors.
Nusa Dua 16 km
A resort enclave built in the 1970s on Bali's southern tip, where more than 20 large hotels share 350 hectares of calm beachfront. The name means 'two islands', after the pair in its bay, the smaller of which holds a temple.
Agung Rai Museum of Art 16 km
An art museum in Ubud founded by the collector Agung Rai and opened in 1996, set among gardens and rice fields. It shows Balinese painting alongside work by foreign artists who lived on the island, and its grounds host dance and gamelan.
