A Hidden Treasure in Nusa Dua.
If you’re looking for a hidden beach in Bali that combines natural beauty, tranquility, and cultural charm, Gunung Payung Beach in Nusa Dua is the perfect destination. With its crystal-clear waters, soft white sand, and calm atmosphere, this beach is ideal for travelers who want to escape Bali’s crowded tourist spots.
Unlike the popular beaches in South Bali, Gunung Payung remains peaceful and unspoiled. It’s also one of the best Instagram spots in Bali, with dramatic cliffs, turquoise waves, and a serene environment that makes it perfect for both relaxation and photography.
The beach takes its name from the nearby Pura Dhang Kahyangan Gunung Payung, a temple considered sacred by the local Balinese. For many years, the beach was mostly visited by locals for religious ceremonies and fishing. Only recently has it become known among adventurous travelers seeking hidden gems in Bali.
