Just around from popular Leke Leke Waterfall is this beautiful spot called Campuhan Antapan Waterfall. Best thing is how quiet it is! I went in the middle of the day and there were some local kids swimming in the river that the falls run into right by it but I had the whole place to myself for an hour.

There’s a love heart seat/structure and swing here for photos too.

Such an impressive waterfall, look how tiny I look when I’m right up next to it! 😂 it’s one of my fave little secret hidden gems in Bali and definitely one to add to your travel bucket lists. Go before it gets popular!

Entry: 30k ($2)
Walk: 2 minutes from the car park

Want more hidden gems like this? I share hundreds in my Bali Pins Map. Find it in my Stan Store.

My first Philippines sunset did not disappoint 😍

This is on White Beach (next to Willy’s Rock lol) in stunning Boracay. This island is the definition of a tropical paradise.

You can rent these crystal kayaks all along the beach for 400 PHP for half an hour. Highly recommend doing this during the day as the water is so clear (will share on stories soon) and then again at sunset. Magic ✨ 🌅

More details about Khun Korn Waterfall & Nature Trail in Northern Thailand.

I found this hidden gem thanks to the @alltrails app. I love me a good waterfall and this was the perfect hike with bamboo forests, river crossings and butterflies to enjoy on the way. It was a 30 minute walk there and back but give yourself an hour and a half so you can enjoy the views and take some pics.

Khan Korn Waterfall is about a 30 minute drive from Chiang Rai and the famous White Temple and Golden Temple are on the way so I definitely recommend combining the two stops. I still had time to visit four other places in Chiang Rai that same day including Lalitta Cafe, Wat Hay Pal Kang, the Blue Temple and the Silver Temple (Wat Sri Suphan)

A lot of people will just visit Chiang Rai on a day trip from Chiang Mai but I was so glad I stayed a few nights. There are so many beautiful temples to discover, great food markets and this stunning waterfall to visit.

Have you heard of this spot?

🌿 Cretya - @cretyaubud
- a multi layer pool club with rice terrace views. It’s the most lively day club in Ubud without being too crazy.

🌅 Cretya Sunset - @cretyasunset
- not to be confused with the original Cretya, this venue faces the sunset with rice field views and a much more chill vibe.

💧 Tlaga Singha - @tlagasingha
- stunning multi level pool with the bottom one being undercover with cool art features and a swim up bar. Chill vibe as it’s not very well known yet (I recently posted about their floating breakfast in a Reel if you want more info)

🍹 Alterntive Beach - @alternativebeach
- on Saturdays they have a really fun pool party with all day happy hour. It’s right in the heart of Canggu.

🏝️ Mari Beach Club - @maribeachclubbali
- stylish club with a lagoon style infinity pool and Balinese performances at sunset. Pretty chill vibes.

🏖️ Valle - @valle.bali
- a newish restaurant/cafe with day beds and a pool looking over some rice fields. Very relaxed atmosphere.

⛲️ Ritual - @ritualbali
- Cliff top restaurant and bar in Uluwatu with a pool and great sunset views.

⚓️ Tropical Temptation - @tropicaltemptation
- large venue with a few different pools, day beds and table options. Views of one of the nicest beaches in Bali and a pirate ship.

🪨 White Rock - @whiterockbeachclub
- just down from TT is this sleek and modern day club on the same stunning beach.

🌅 Sol Rooftop - @sol.rooftopbali
- rooftop venue in Pererenan with a pool, day beds, hammocks etc. usually pretty chill but they do host parties on the regular.

Save this to remember for your next Bali trip!

For 70+ day clubs from beach clubs to pool clubs in the jungle head to my Stan Store to get access to my Bali map 🫶🏼

More information on these hidden gems in Bali ⬇️

I always love finding quiet places amongst the chaos. A lot of Bali can be very busy but there are still so many areas to explore that are less discovered! With peak season approaching, definitely check these places out & save this to remember them.

Of all the pins on my Bali Google Map (minus the cafes/restaurants) I would say half of them are hidden gems like this. I have explored so many cool places that aren’t super touristy. Check it out through my Stan Store ☺️

💧 Campuhan Antapan Waterfall
- stunning cascading falls close to famous Leke Leke Waterfall but with next to no one there! I spent an hour here and just shared my time with a few local kids having a swim.

🌺 Morabito Art Cliff
- a new-ish rooftop venue that sits on the cliff in Bingin, Uluwatu. Stunning spot for dinner and/or drinks especially for sunset.

🐒 Sangeh Monkey Forrest
- if you want a less crowded monkey forrest with chill monkeys then this is the place to go. You get food included with your entrance ticket to feed them and the handlers can help you get some cool pics. They were climbing all over me but didn’t steal anything (except a piece of fruit I had in a pocket of my backpack 😂) and were not aggressive at all like in other areas.

🖼️ Sketsa 2D Cafe
- a really cute locally owned cafe. The local woman put so much effort into painting the space to look like a 2D house but she said no one comes 😢 definitely stop by and get a pic. It’s near Tabana & the iced matcha was incredible! and only 65c!!

💧 Manuaba Waterfall
- two waterfalls in a loop track that took around 45 minutes. You need to wade through the water in a canyon at one section. Super cool experience just north of Ubud and we only saw two other people the whole time.

☕️ Rooftop Coffee Bali - @rooftopcoffeecanggu_bali
- a tiny little rooftop cafe with beautiful rice terrace views, great coffee and crepes!

👙 La Boheme Canggu - @la_boheme_canggu
- a stunning and quiet pool club with a very low minimum spend ($12 for two). They also have a co-working space.
