One of the things we say most often to friends and family who are visiting Bali for the first time is that the island is bigger than you think. The first visual images of visiting Bali often feel infused with small island vibes, but in actual fact, the main island is a vast 5,590.15 km2. It takes more than four hours to drive from north to south, and upwards of 7-hours to realistically drive from east to west. With so much to explore, so many of the island’s best beaches get unconsciously overlooked in favour of the more famous coastal hotspots like Canggu, Uluwatu, and Kuta.
Here at The Bali Sun one of our jobs is to introduce our readers to lesser visited, overlooked and underrated destinations. One of these such destinations is Balian Beach. We won’t lie, this is an area that is starting to pop onto the radar of more tourists, travellers and even investors. So if you’re seeking an off path destination for total relaxation you have to get yourself to Balian Beach soon before everyone else gets wind of this little slice of heaven.
