Sun, Sand, and Serenity: Bali's Most Beautiful Beaches

With its striking coastline, golden shores, and turquoise waters, Bali is an island of endless beach days. While popular stretches like Kuta or Seminyak draw the crowds, there's another side to Bali's coast — quiet coves, hidden trails, and pristine sands that feel like a world of their own.

Here's our curated guide to the best beaches to relax and rejuvenate — and how Mulia Bali makes each escape even more memorable.

Nusa Dua Beach – Calm & Crystal-Clear Escape

Directly accessible from Mulia Bali, the pristine beach of Nusa Dua is ideal for gentle swims, long barefoot walks, or simply basking under the tropical sun. Its calm waters and manicured coastline make it a favourite among families and honeymooners alike. Guests may also enjoy the added touch of beachside service — from refreshing towels and drinks to curated wellness sessions on the sand.

Gunung Payung – Sacred Cliffs and Quiet Sands

Just a short drive from the resort, Gunung Payung Beach is a lesser-known gem framed by dramatic cliffs. Accessible through a stone stairway, you can find a quiet beach with soft sand, clear waters and a sense of serenity. Above the cliffs, you can also find a cultural park - a blend of nature and heritage for those seeking a leisurely walk.

Green Bowl Beach – A Hidden Gem for Explorers

Known as a paradise for those who enjoy a path less travelled, Green Bowl Beach is a secret hidden beneath a steep descent. Surrounded by limestone caves and teeming with marine life, this beach is a stunning spot for quiet sunbathing or exploration (during low tide). Don't forget to pack sturdy footwear and your sense of adventure!

Nyang Nyang – Vast and Virtually Untouched

Nyang Nyang is the beach you dream of when picturing an untouched tropical escape. Wide, open, and wonderfully quiet, this beach sits below a lush cliffside and rewards visitors with soft sand and rolling waves. Ideal for a mid-morning stroll or a romantic picnic with panoramic sea views.

Thomas Beach – Sun-Soaked Simplicity

Nestled between Padang Padang and Uluwatu, Thomas Beach offers the charm of Bali before the crowds arrive. A short walk down leads to a lovely stretch of coastline dotted with simple sunbeds and warungs. It's perfect for a slow afternoon with a good book and the sea breeze.

The Mulia Touch – A Picnic to Remember

Enhance your beach-hopping day with a thoughtfully packed picnic from Mulia Bali. Choose from an elegant selection of freshly baked pastries and bread from our patisserie, Cannele, or request takeaways of signature dishes such as our Nasi Campur Mulia or Bebek Goreng — adding a delicious touch of Indonesian flavour to your seaside escape.

Simply speak to our concierge or butler team to customise your beach day essentials — complete with water, napkins, and cutlery — all presented with the finesse and convenience that define the Mulia experience.

A Note for the Curious Traveller

While we're delighted to recommend these beautiful beaches, we kindly advise guests to exercise caution when planning their visits. Many of these coastal gems require navigating steep stairs or uneven paths, which may be physically demanding for some. In addition, these natural settings are home to local wildlife — including macaques, monitor lizards, and insects — and, on rare occasions, snakes.

We strongly advise all guests to travel mindfully, use proper footwear, avoid bringing valuables, and take only what you need for a comfortable visit. For assistance in planning your beach day, our team can provide you tailored suggestions and up-to-date local insight.

Your safety and enjoyment remain our top priority — and with thoughtful preparation, these coastal treasures can become some of the most cherished moments of your time in Bali.

Bali's beaches are more than just beautiful — they're a gateway to quiet moments, coastal adventure, and cultural charm. Whether you seek easy access or hidden shores, your journey begins with Mulia Bali.
