🇮🇩 Bali, Indonesia
Traveling Bali alone doesn't mean doing it by yourself. Here are 20 things worth doing solo — sunrise volcano hikes, surf sessions, canggu co-working and more — filterable by vibe, time and budget. The ones marked "great for meeting people" are where Suppertime comes in.
20 ideas
Kintamani
Groups set off in the dark to reach the summit for sunrise over the caldera lake — a popular, guided trek that's easy to join solo and near-guaranteed to introduce you to fellow hikers.
Canggu
Canggu's beach breaks are some of the most beginner-friendly on the island, with group lessons that make learning to surf solo painless and social.
Canggu
Canggu's coworking scene is built around its digital-nomad crowd — good wifi, good coffee, and a steady stream of other people working solo who are easy to strike up a conversation with.
Uluwatu
The clifftop temple grounds above the Indian Ocean are Bali's classic sunset spot, drawing a mixed crowd of travelers who linger for the view together.
Uluwatu
Uluwatu's cliffside breaks draw some of the island's best surfers — even from the warung terraces above, it's a mesmerizing solo way to spend an hour.
Ubud
Ubud's long-established yoga scene draws a global crowd of solo travelers to open, jungle-facing studios — drop-in classes are the norm, not the exception.
Tegallalang, Ubud
Bali's most iconic stepped rice paddies are just north of Ubud — worth arriving early, before the tour buses, for a quiet walk through the terraces.
Ubud
A shaded sanctuary of temple ruins, banyan trees and resident long-tailed macaques right in the middle of town — an easy, low-key solo stop.
Ubud
Small-group classes usually start with a market visit before cooking a full Balinese spread — a natural way to spend a few hours with other travelers.
North Bali
Renting a scooter and chasing waterfalls inland is a Bali rite of passage — go solo at your own pace, or tag along with whoever else is at the trailhead.
Tanah Lot
A sea temple perched on a rock just offshore, silhouetted against the sunset — one of Bali's most-photographed views and a reliably social spot to watch it.
Seminyak / Canggu
Bali's beach clubs mix daybeds, pools and DJ sets facing the ocean — pricier than a warung, but built for mingling solo across a shared pool deck.
Nusa Penida
A boat trip from Sanur reaches the dramatic cliffs and turquoise coves of this neighboring island — usually done as a day tour, which makes it easy to join solo.
Canggu or Kuta
Beachfront courts in the surf towns regularly host casual pickup games at sunset — showing up alone and asking to join is completely normal.
Amed or Nusa Penida
Bali's east coast and neighboring islands have calm, reef-fringed waters good for snorkeling straight off the beach or on a short boat trip.
Ubud
Ubud's café culture leans slow and quiet, with plenty of garden seating built for spending an afternoon alone with a book.
Uluwatu
A traditional Balinese chant-and-fire performance staged at the clifftop temple as the sun goes down — a shared, communal experience even watched alone.
Canggu
Canggu's long-term remote-work community runs regular casual meetups — an easy way to trade travel notes and make friends outside the co-working desk.
Canggu
A handful of Canggu's cafés keep shelves of board games for the evening crowd — an easy, low-pressure way to end up at a table with strangers.
Ubud
A well-known walking trail along a grassy ridge just outside central Ubud, at its best — and quietest — right after sunrise.
