Touching Padma Resort’s S.K.A.I Beach Club and right off our infinity pool, is what the local residents like to call, the Padma beach. It is an ideal beach for a walk in the sand or along the beachside road – filled with restaurants and bars with something satisfy all palates – all day late into the evening. Surfers, Padma beach is where to be, to avoid having to contend to catch your dose of waves.

About 10 minutes walk towards Kuta, is Bali’s most well-known Kuta Beach. Here, you can catch Bali’s fabled sunsets after a day packed with a wide selection of water activities and swimming or sun baking amid big masses as it is open to traffic. Nightfall, the music loudens as restaurants and bars transit into a nightlife of colour and crashing waves that you can enjoy late into the night.

A little further up to the “Bukit” area (the hills), there are a number of beaches in the Uluwatu and Nusa Dua areas that are perfect for those in search of tranquillity in a seemingly extraterrestrial space or for those in love with the surf life as some of the beaches promise great sets of waves. Expect a 15-20 minutes’ drive from Padma Resort Legian to Uluwatu and Nusa Dua suburbs and little adventures finding the beaches as some of the are hidden and quite challenging to find, but the views are definitely worth the trip!

A blend of temples and sand is becoming a rare find in Bali’s frenzied and rapid growth. Nusa Dua Beach, still houses many temples – Pura Jagatnatha and Pura Geger to name a few – making it a distinguished beach that incorporates Balinese culture and pleasure.
