Frequently asked questions
What is Bali's most famous attraction?
Kelingking Beach on Nusa Penida may well be the most famous, with its dramatic cliff and turquoise bay. The Tegallalang rice fields and Uluwatu Temple are iconic too.
What can you do in Bali when it rains?
Visit temples, a spa or a cooking class, or go diving/snorkelling (you'll get wet anyway). Rain showers are often short.
