This trio of paradise islands is perfect for an escape from the hustle and bustle of the mainland &#8211; we say make it a long weekend to explore them all, but you can join excursion tours for day trips too. Though these islands are mere minutes from either other, they each have different charms. The largest island is Nusa Penida &#8211; approximately 209 kilometre square &#8211; home to towering cliff-sides, wild oceans, and extreme outdoor adventures (prepare to get vertigo at some of Penida&#8217;s most famous spots!). Meanwhile, Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan take about 20-30 minutes to drive the entire way around, and they&#8217;re connected to each other by the famous yellow bridge.

In Lovina in particular, you can also head out at dawn to spot wild black dolphin. A cultural trip in North Bali is also a must, since traditional Balinese villages, <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/hindu-temples-in-bali\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hindu temples<\/a> and sacred sites are all nearby.<\/p>\n<p>Note: Making your way around north Bali is an adventure of its own, with narrower streets and sometime-treacherous terrain \u2013 so you may need a skillful driver to take you around (or a reliable scooter), and ask locals for directions.<\/p>\n<h3>Where to stay in North Bali \u2013 the best hotels &amp; resorts<\/h3>\n<p>Hotels in the north are quite different compared to the busy south &#8211; they&#8217;re quieter, more traditional, and often have spectacular views of all-natural landscapes. Some of our faves include <a href=\"https:\/\/samanvaya-bali.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Samanvaya<\/a> in Sidemen Valley, <a href=\"https:\/\/sumberkimahill.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Sumberkima Hill<\/a> for breathtaking private villas in the hillside, or <a href=\"https:\/\/thelovinabali.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">The Lovina<\/a> for resort-style bliss on the beach. Or for something totally different in the heart of nature, stay within the West Bali National Park at eco-resorts like <a href=\"https:\/\/plataran.com\/property\/plataran-menjangan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Plataran Menjangan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>North Bali itinerary \u2013 our top things to do in North Bali<\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">1.\u00a0 Home to countless hidden waterfalls, a trip to the north is not complete without swimming beneath a waterfall, or slip-sliding down their natural water slides. Check out Aling-Aling for exactly that, or the famous GitGit waterfall near Lovina for an easy adventure. Like a challenge? Try to find the enormous Sekumpul Waterfall.<br \/>\n2. Immerse yourself in the <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/things-to-do-in-bali-outdoor-activities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Great Outdoors<\/a>! Whether you want to hike a volcanic and catch a sunrise at the peak, or go quad biking through rice paddies, there are plenty of outdoor activities to get your adrenaline pumping in the north.<br \/>\n3. For those looking to relax, why not do it jungle-style? Plunge into a natural hot spring, like the Banjar Hot Springs. Set in a beautiful flowered garden, these springs are famous for their special healing properties thanks, to the Brimstone in the 38\u00baC sulphur water.<br \/>\n4. Experience Balinese culture with a trip to local villages and Hindu temples. There are a trio of charming temples nearby: Pulaki, Pabean and Segara, perfectly nestled between mountain and sea. Just don\u2019t forget to wear a sarong or scarf in order to enter any of the temple areas.<br \/>\n5. Go scuba diving around <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/things-to-do-in-menjangan-bali\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Menjangan Island<\/a>, or snorkel the pristine coastline to find Nemo. Don&#8217;t want to get wet? Head out ay dawn on a local fishing boat to spot wild dolphin in Lovina.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for more ideas on where to stay in Bali?
