Bali Without the Buzz: Hidden Villages Where Tourists Don’t Go

Tired of the Eat, Pray, Leave crowd?

You’re not alone.

Bali is beautiful, yes, but there’s way more beyond Ubud’s rice fields and Canggu’s brunch spots. Head north to places like Munduk and Sidemen where you’ll find misty jungles, waterfalls, and village life untouched by the Instagram stampede. Ask a local where to find the best warung (small local eateries)—you’ll eat better and spend less.

✨ Tip: Book your homestay or eco-lodge through me here to support locally-owned businesses and stay connected to real Balinese culture.

You can also check out Pemuteran, a quiet fishing village on the northwest coast known for coral restoration work (Coral Restoration Foundation Bali).
