Top 10 Beach Resorts In Indonesia

Beach life in Indonesia

Wondering which of Indonesia’s many beautiful beaches to visit? Consider heading to Tanjung Aan Beach in Mandalika, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. You’ll not only get sandy shores but also views of lush hills. The beach is also perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and even surfing. If you can’t get enough of the ocean, you can also visit Kuta Beach just a 20-minute drive away.

Another beach perfect for surfing is Suluban Beach in Bali, one of the top things Indonesia is famous for. It has natural limestone formations that create a one-of-a-kind coastline and towering waves reaching up to 12 ft (3.66 m) for a fun but challenging time on the water. It’s recommended to visit Suluban Beach in the early morning to beat the crowds, but be sure to stay for the glorious sunset as well.

No two days will be the same during your stay at Hilton Bali Resort. Enjoy quality time on a secluded white sandy beach at this hotel before taking a dip in its outdoor connecting pools.

For extra wellness, visit the spa for a pampering massage followed by relaxation on a sun lounger or in a private cabana. If I was a guest here, I would also be excited for mealtimes because of all the dining options here. Paon Bali sounds especially enticing with its modern takes on Bali cuisine.
