Ungasan spreads across the southern Bukit plateau above some of Bali's most spectacular beaches: Melasti with its road carved through cliffs, family-friendly Pandawa and the hidden Green Bowl cove.
The area itself is unhurried — villas, local life and space. You'll need wheels: beaches, cafes and shops are kilometres apart.
Best for: Couples, families and long-stayers with a scooter or car who want the south's best beaches minus the crowds.
