About Us
Our Mission
At Bali Sunsets, we believe in capturing the magic of one of nature’s most awe-inspiring moments: the sunset. What makes Bali Sunsets special? It’s more than just watching the sun dip below the horizon; it’s an experience that ignites the senses and touches the soul.
It is…..
Bali sunsets are renowned for their breathtaking array of colors, painting the sky with hues of pink, red, purple, and orange. These vibrant hues cast a mesmerizing glow over the clouds and sea, creating a stunning spectacle for all to behold.
As the sun begins its descent, the atmosphere in Bali comes alive with energy and anticipation. Beach bars buzz with activity as tourists and locals alike gather to witness the spectacle. From impromptu games of soccer to quiet moments of reflection, sunset in Bali is a time for connection and celebration.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, watching the sunset in Bali is a serene experience that soothes the soul. It’s a chance to pause, reflect, and immerse oneself in the beauty of nature, leaving behind the worries of the day.
Nestled amidst the convergence of ocean and mountain landscapes, Bali offers a picturesque backdrop for sunset enthusiasts. Warm weather, captivating skies, and the gentle breeze of offshore winds make Bali’s beaches an idyllic setting for witnessing nature’s grand finale.
Where to See the Best Sunsets in Bali: From the bustling beaches of Kuta to the clifftop temples of Uluwatu and Tanah Lot, Bali offers an abundance of breathtaking sunset spots. Whether you’re sipping cocktails on the beach or enjoying a seafood dinner by the ocean, there’s no shortage of ways to experience the magic of Bali sunsets.
My name is Andrew and I first visited Bali in 1989 as part of an Australian university group studying environmental impacts of tourism.
Back then Jalan Legian was a dirt road and places such as Canggu, Umalas and even much of Kerobokan were nothing more than rice paddies.
Nightlife centred around Kuta with bars and clubs such as Peanuts, Bounty and Sari being popular.
Getting around was either via bemo or finding a driver and car, usually on the beach.
The only restaurant I remember from that period was Kopi Pot, amazingly still going to this day.
Souvenirs such as sunglasses and watches were usually purchased from someone flashing open a jacket or box with their wares for sale.
Hotels for me were nothing more than a losmen, sometimes with a Bali coffee and banana included for breakfast.
Fast forward to now and I have visited the island more than 100 times, usually for short breaks of 4 or 5 days, with the longest trip being 8 weeks.
I travel with a mix of friends and family, and often solo. I tend to gravitate towards the Seminyak area, however get great enjoyment from going off the beaten track and visiting much more remote and quieter areas at times.
I like nice restaurants as much as a cheap warung, clean accommodation, silent spas, and watching the world go by with a coffee or beer close by.
Above all, I love the gentleness and calmness of Balinese people and watching sunset! I do not consider myself an Aussie bogan, but accept there is a place for everyone to enjoy Bali….. I do cringe though at the behaviour of some fellow travellers – stupidity and rudeness are not something I easily tolerate.
I have worked in the tourism industry pretty much full time up until the pandemic bringing a premature close to that chapter of my life. My focus has been in procurement, so negotiating hotel and tour deals for large travel companies. I have also worked in an online travel business, however am not a developer nor consider myself an expert in websites.
One day these skills will combine into a new venture, however for now, Bali Sunsets is a chance to share some of my knowledge and build a community of like-minded people who wish to add their experience so that we can all grow our love for Bali.
See something you don’t like, then just tell me. If I’m wrong I will correct things.
Hopefully there is something of interest for you and I would appreciate your support in following one of the Bali Sunsets social media channels. For additional information you may also wish to subscribe to the regular newsletter.
