Popularly known as the ultimate honeymoon destination, Bali is famous for its secluded beaches. Balangan Beach happens to be one of the most famous and picturesque beaches the island has to offer. With its golden sands and limestone cliffs, Balangan as well as its neighbouring beaches along the south western Bukit coastline such as Dreamland, Impossibles, Padang Padang and Uluwatu tend to attract surfers from all over the world.

Island accommodation options are aplenty in Bali, with a variety of choices available depending on what kind of holiday you are looking to indulge in.There are quite a few high-end options such as Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort which is a Bali golf resort on the more luxurious end of the spectrum, but for those wanting to stick to a budget and island hop the rustic way, several beachside economical options for accommodation are available.

Those interested in taking some good shots of the location can climb up the hills before reaching the beach to utilise the panoramic views of the golden sands meeting the azure waters with distant surfers riding the waves. The sea is definitely friendlier for surfers; nevertheless the coast is still suitable for a quick swim. Traditional food huts line the shore with ethnic snacks and refreshments. Pro-surfers will prefer visiting Balangan during the dry season, from May to September.

However, you need not be a surfer nor even remotely interested in surfing to enjoy the beauty of Balangan. All you need to do once you get there is to rent out a sun bed (perhaps with an umbrella if you’re not looking to tan much) and laze away on your holiday by the beach, enjoying the beautiful Bali sunsets. The soft sands will prove therapeutic for your skin and the soles of your tired feet and the fascinating reef during the low tide will be a delight for your eyes.
