✈️ Welcome to Paradise
Planning a trip to Bali can feel intimidating — there’s so much to see, so many beaches to explore, and countless temples to visit. But once you arrive, you’ll realize that Bali is one of the most welcoming and soul-soothing destinations in the world. From jaw-dropping cliffs in Uluwatu to the magical waterfalls of Sekumpul, this island is a dream come true.
If you’re visiting for two weeks, here’s how to make the most of every sunrise and sunset in Bali. This 14-day Bali itinerary will guide you through the island’s must-see spots, hidden gems, and insider travel tips to make your journey seamless.
🌅 Day 1: Landing in Kuta & Relaxing in Uluwatu
The moment you step outside Ngurah Rai International Airport (Denpasar), you’ll feel the tropical warmth — and a bit of chaos. Don’t worry! Just avoid fake Grab or Gojek drivers waiting outside. Instead, download the official Grab or Gojek app before your trip to easily book safe rides.
After landing, skip the busy streets of Kuta and head to Uluwatu, just 45 minutes away. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind after your flight. Enjoy your first sunset at Single Fin Beach Club, perched on the cliffs with breathtaking ocean views. Order a fresh coconut, take a deep breath, and let the island magic begin.
🐒 Day 2: Uluwatu Temple, Beaches & Fire Dance Show
Start your morning with a visit to Uluwatu Temple, a spiritual gem sitting on dramatic seaside cliffs. Hiring a guide is optional but helpful — especially to protect your belongings from cheeky monkeys who love to snatch sunglasses and snacks.
🏖️ Beaches to Visit
- Le Cliff Beach – Turquoise waters and calm tides perfect for photos.
- Blue Point Beach – A favorite Instagram spot with limestone caves.
🔥 Evening Highlight
Book the Kecak Fire Dance performance through the Klook app — an unforgettable cultural show combining chanting, storytelling, and flames against a golden sunset.

Spend your last day in Uluwatu soaking in the area’s laid-back vibes. Visit the aesthetic beach market near Blue Point for handmade jewelry, art, and boho-chic clothes.
🍜 Where to Eat
Try YUKI Japanese Restaurant, a beachfront gem serving sushi as beautiful as the view.
