Your welcome.
Yes, as far as I know, everything on this list still stands as. The only couple things I might add in would be Genius Cafe on the beach in Sanur behind Mercure, which is part of the Entrepreneurs Institute group, and if you’re looking for some island-hopping, jump over to either Nusa Penida and/or the Gilis...
Enjoy! :-)
Awesome! Thank you so much :-))
Can't wait to go... it'll be my first time in Bali.
For surf:
If your skills are honed, everything down on the Bukit is gold - Uluwatu, Bingin, Padang Padang, Dreamland, Greenball...
Karamas on the east has killer rights, just in front of Komune Beach Club - though need mid-to-high tide or the reef too sketchy.
Kuta is classic, though very busy and more suited to beginners.
And Canggu is gold. Berawa. Batu Balong for long boarding. And one further down, forget the name.
There’s a couple more a further trip out west, but those are the main spots. Lombok supposedly has some excellent waves as well, though be careful there as many stories of tourists getting robbed (and some arms getting hacked off with maschettes after dark)...
Thank you so much for the tips!!
I'm still a beginning surfer, so I guess I'll check out Kuta then. Lombok doesn't sound like a place where a girl should travel to alone though..?
Most of the time I'll hang at Komune witnessing the WSL... So let's see how much time will be left for catching waves by myself :-)
Again thanks for your help!!
Mmm, there’s probably parts that are alright, and if you were to go with a trusted tour company or something you’d be alright - though not sure completely exploring just anywhere solo would be the wisest option...
Kuta and Batu Bolong - in front of Old Mans... good vibe over there too and waves are super nice and more tame for long boarding... :-)
A friend of mine’s coming along from Spain, so I guess I’ll wait for him to do the excursions then :-)
