Whether it's for the sand, sun, surf and snorkelling, or merely for the serene ambience, the beaches on the enchanting island of Bali never fail to offer something for everyone.

If you are all up for exploring, we list down some of the island's most fascinating beaches that may not have been in the spotlight, but are most definitely worth a visit:

2. Dreamland Beach

Not quite a secret beach anymore but still hidden due to its secluded location, Dreamland, Balangan's next door neighbour, truly lives up to its name. With pristine white sand, clear blue sky and crystal clear water, what more can one ask for?

3. Suluban Beach

Considered to be the ideal spot for surfers, the waves here are thrilling and since it is secluded, you can enjoy a peaceful time. Be it for a surfing holiday or a romantic getaway, it is breathtakingly beautiful.

4. Amed Beach

Amed Beach lies in east Bali and is touted to be a paradise with outstanding beauty, vibrant culture and friendly people. Snorkeling and diving are must-do activities; the variety and number of fish species here are among the best in Bali.

5. Pandawa Beach

Surrounded by high cliffs, Pandawa beach is not easy to reach and probably that's what keeps away the crowd. Seemingly endless stretches of white sand span from one end to the other, and the clear blue water heaves to the shore in hypnotic rolling waves.

6. Pemuteran Beach

The coastal village of Pemuteran in north Bali is as far as it gets from the hustle and bustle in the south of this fabled island. Here, peace and tranquility welcome all to its secluded beaches and captivating hilly background. The charm of Pemuteran also lies below the surface of its calm waters, in the many diving spots, and most especially its phenomenal Underwater Temple.
