Tanah Lot

An amazing sightseeing experience in Bali at one of the holiest of Temples named Tanah Lot meaning ‘Land in the Sea’. The gorgeous temple sits on a rocky outcrop a little way out to sea. The temple can be accessed at low tide for blessings and an up close and personal encounter of the gorgeous simple temple. We suggest guests go around sunset as they are to die for with amazing pink skies and unsurpassed beauty.

Eco Bike Tour

This is a fun downhill eco and educational cycling tour that takes you to see ‘The Real Bali’. A good 70% of our Bliss guests choose to go on the cycling tour and 95% of them LOVE it! You go through secret back roads, visit a traditional house and see the way they live, Coffee plantations and the famous Luwak coffee, a Balinese plantation where you learn of the medicinal and culturally important uses of local plants, the process of making coffee and see many of the spices you have used in cooking and tropical fruits growing in their natural environment. You also get to sample many exotic tropical fruits, local herbal teas and coffees, including Coffee Luwak. You’ll enjoy the village temples, an enormous Banyan tree and stunning rice paddy panoramas. You even go for a short walk in the rice paddies to see villagers planting and harvesting rice.

Zoë always says ‘ if you take your camera it will be like you’ve been sightseeing around Bali for a month with all the amazing experiences you get in the one day.’

Horse Riding

If you love a meandering beach walk on top of a gorgeous animal then you are in luck! Just around the corner from us is the Bali Equestrian Centre. From specialised riding classes through to enjoying the sunset on horseback we can organise a great experience just for you.

Meet Bali’s Elephant

Our hostess can talk you through a few different elephant experiences in Bali. Generally we suggest you go to the Bali Safari Marine Park where you pay on entry and also pay for an elephant ride. When Zoë went she said ‘I had the cheekiest elephant who wanted to stop and play with its handler. It was so cute and you could really see the elephant and handler had a great bond. It was so naughty and cute and the perfect elephant experience for me’.

Tirta Empul Traditional water healing

Tirta Empul Temple (Indonesian: Pura Tirta Empul) is a Hindu temple in the middle of Bali Island, Indonesia, famous for its holy water where Hindu Bali people go for purification. (Wikipedia)

Some of our guests like to visit Tirta Empul to be able to do a traditional Hindu healing and cleansing. A more cultural and spiritual experience both at the same time.

If you are looking for a wellness retreat Bali style holiday with some great sightseeing thrown in, then we will bend over backwards to make it all happen for you.

Butterfly Park

The Butterfly Park at Tabanan isn’t too far from us at Bliss, and is the largest butterfly park in Indonesia with hundreds of different butterfly species. Why do we love butterflies? For their spiritual meaning of ‘new beginnings’. If you have gone through some tough times and emerged as the best version of yourself it could be quite the spiritual celebration to be surrounded by these lovely creatures.
