Karma Kandara Beach, Ungasan: Luxury & Peacefulness

This beach is in fact a small lagoon in a tropical setting, which goes by the nickname 'Billionaires Row', due to the astonishingly beautiful and fancy Karma Kandara Beach Resort, where celebrities meet and enjoy some leisure time. It's a unique holiday spot to visit, if you'd like to spend a day at this small semi-private beach tucked away in a jungle setting with supreme company.
Obviously, dollars make the beach beds go round here, so if you'd like to get the deluxe feeling, reserve yourself a bed at the resort.

Green Bowl Beach, Uluwatu: Hidden Paradise

This beach is one of the rare intimate beaches in Bali and therefore one of the best beaches on the island. It is not as easy to reach, but after a steep staircase of 250 steps which goes down 75 metres, you finally reach a secluded strip of sand and turquoise ocean with large limestone caves at each side. The beach is a perfect secluded spot to spend a relaxed day without a crowd of tourists.
Green Bowl Beach got its name by the color of the cliffs surrounding it, as well as the color of the rocks in the water, which are covered in algae and are shimmering through in emerald color. By the way, the nearby caves also host a handful of wild bats, which you can see when you enter. To spice the serene beach vibe up, there might be some monkeys around who try to get their hands on your belongings, so keep your things with you! Make sure you check the tides before going down - it should be low tide / mid tide.

Pink Beach Bali (Komodo): Picturesque

This photographer's dream beach is actually not on the main land of Bali island, but on a neighbouring island called Komodo. The beach really looks as it is called, starring a salmon colored pinkish sand, which is produced by microscopic organisms called Foraminifera. These organisms produce a red pigment of the coral reefs, which then mixes with the white sand and produces this special color. The Pink Beach provides some of the most astonishing backdrops for a perfect holiday beach picture!

In fact, the Pink Beach in Komodo is only one of three pink beaches in Indonesia, being one of the most famous ones due to its closeness to the main island of Bali. A short flight or a ferry ride bring you here.

The beach, which is also known as Pantai Merah Beach, is situated in the Komodo National Park, home of a fierce wildlife and some of the 2500 Komodo Dragons living on the island.

Visiting the Pink Beach of Komodo also gives you the opportunity to swim among the coral reefs, go for a snorkel dip and explore some exotic water species, or explore some of Komodo’s Eastern part of the island.

There is much to do on Komodo, so it’s the perfect get-away from the hustle and bustle from big Bali's famous beaches. Daily flights connect Bali to Labuan Bajo on Komodo, as well as Bali to Lombok and Lombok with Komodo. From Lombok the ferry connection takes around 3 hours and drops you straight at the Pink Beach.
