Chasing the Best Sunset Points in Bali

The most anticipated time for travelers in Bali is the "Golden Hour" around 6 PM. In 2026, Bali's sunsets continue to offer unchanging inspiration to visitors worldwide. From the majestic views atop steep cliffs to casual sunsets on the beach with a cold beer, we introduce three prime spots. 

 

01. Uluwatu Temple

Located at the tip of Bali’s southern cliffs, Uluwatu Temple is synonymous with "majestic sunsets." Watching the sun sink into the Indian Ocean as waves crash against the 70-meter-high cliffs is a sublime experience. Walking along the cliffside paths offers greatness, but witnessing the sunset alongside a Kecak Dance performance remains the ultimate fusion of Balinese culture and nature.

 

02. Tanah Lot Temple

Tanah Lot, the mysterious "Land in the Sea," offers a unique atmosphere as a temple that appears to float on water. During sunset, the temple turns into a black silhouette, contrasting perfectly with the shimmering golden sea. Grabbing a seat at a hillside cafe overlooking the temple with a fresh coconut remains one of the most romantic experiences in Bali even in 2026.

 

03. Jimbaran Beach

For those seeking a warm and relaxed sunset with loved ones, Jimbaran Beach is the answer. Famous for its seaside "Seafood BBQ," you can dine at tables set right on the sand. The feeling of cool seawater on your feet, the aroma of grilled seafood, and the pastel-hued sky create a multi-sensory sunset experience that is truly unforgettable.
