Bali is a gorgeous country with so much to explore, and we still think you should travel to Bali in 2023. Recently the Balinese government passed a new law prohibiting sex outside of marriage and banning unmarried couples from living together. Although this law will not come into effect for 3 years, it has left us with some uncertainty about the impact on tourism. Government officials have insisted that tourists shouldn’t be concerned about these changes and that enforcement will be more locally-focused. However, we will still need to wait and see the outcomes once the law is officially implemented.
In the meantime, there are still so many amazing things to see and do in Bali. We shouldn’t let any speculations impact our chances to experience all the cultural, natural, and culinary wonders of Bali.
Here are some of our favorite activities to do when in Bali in 2023:
Floating breakfast
Floating breakfast has become a huge trend in Bali. This allows you to enjoy your meal while floating in the pool and taking in incredible views. What a way to start off the day.
Bali swing
Who says kids should have all the fun? Try out an adult-size Bali swing and swing out over beautiful valleys with views of the rice terraces. Don’t forget to have someone snap a picture or two.
Ubud market
The Ubud art market features hundreds of stalls with local people selling crafts, souvenirs, clothing, and food.

Rice terraces
Indonesia is the third biggest producer of rice in the world. The rice terraces are magical to look at and provide unobstructed views of the surrounding land. Rice is an important part of Indonesian culture and has shaped the Balinese landscape over many hundreds of years.

Bali is home to tons of fun beach clubs. Some of our favorites include Potato Head Beach Club, Sundays Beach Club, Single Fin, and Karma Beach Club.
Healthy food
Balinese cuisine is incredibly healthy. The climate and soil enables the island to grow many types of fruits and vegetables, including many you may not have heard of. Rambutan, mangosteen, soursop, and durian are just a few. A trip to Bali in 2023 is the perfect opportunity to try them out!
