Whether it’s a beach vacation in a resort town or a trip to a major city with Instagram-worthy attractions, we’ll rarely be the only tourists.
This is no different for a place like Bali, where tourists often flock in search of new perspectives on life and culture.
In fact, local authorities are encourage visitors venturing away from what can normally be found on someone’s itinerary and going further out of the way to learn more about Balinese culture.
Bali will always be a draw for travelers, but it’s time to take a deep dive into other less-visited places.
There are many wonderful places to bookmark in Indonesia, but Bali is the shining light of the country. Especially since they recently officially ended the remaining COVID restrictions.
Here are the The 6 best places to avoid crowds in Bali this summer:

Banyumala Waterfall
Near the twin lakes is the beautiful, postcard-worthy Banyumala Waterfall. A swimming hole catches the fresh water that constantly flows from above.

This region is home to lush green hills, pristine coastal ecosystems, and the West Bali National Park. There is much to offer visitors here, but not everyone knows this side of Bali.
Visitors can find cafes, hotels, and restaurants here to enjoy, but they are not as crowded as the south side of Bali.
Millions of dollars are being invested to improve the current facilities, but they are not expected to be complete until 2026-2027.
padang bai
Often known simply as a ferry port, this quaint fishing village is about as laid-back as you can get on Bali’s east side.
