Dreamland Beach, Bali: One of the Prettiest Beaches in Bali
I put this photo up on Pinterest the other day and couldn’t believe it got over 1500 re-pins in less than 24 hours. One woman even said, “this has to be Photoshopped. Look at the shadows. That’s a pool in the front.”
Sorry to disappoint, Pinners, but it’s an actual pool overlooking Dreamland Beach in southern Bali. Dreamland Beach is on the Bukit Peninsula and about 30-45 minutes south of Kuta.
When I was there in 2009, the hotel and restaurant above Dreamland Beach in the Pecatu Indah Resort had just been built. There was still quite a bit of construction going on and I have heard it looks different and more built up now.
Regardless, it’s still one of the prettiest beaches in Bali! It was also one of my favorite places to surf in Bali because it’s not shallow reef like many of the other surf spots in southern Bali. In other words, you don’t have to be as careful of hitting the reef. I was told it is only flat rock at the bottom and the rocks are fairly deep.
If you make it to Bali, this place is definitely worth a stop. If you’re looking for a hotel near this beach, the Villa Hari Indah is a stunning property with excellent reviews!

Many people say that Dreamland beach is one of the best tourism beach in Bali. But, that’s not what I thought when I visited that place. Why can I say that ? First, when you came there, you would see the beauty of the beach and waves. But, if you took a look around the beach, you would see many rubbishes. The local people also couldn’t keep the cleanliness of that place. We could see from the coral reefs, many local people fouled the coral reefs. The parking area was also terrible because it was not styled well and neatly so it was looked narrow. The last problem is I couldn’t find the seller easily.

Hi there! My name is Carly. My best friend and I are planning our month long trip to Bali, we are not sure which city to stay in. We would just love a beautiful green, ocean scenic area where it is safe. Do you have any suggestions? Your blog has been very helpful!
Great shot but Dreamland is ruined now I’m afraid.
It was only a matter of time. That’s too bad. I’m sure I would be shocked to see the difference now.
Why? What happened to it?
Wow, if this photo doesn’t inspire people to plan their next vacation, then I don’t know what does!
Bali’s always so awesome, has great days there, great shot
Beautiful! And I’m not surprised it was popular on Pinterest. Bali is on my list of places to visit.
How I would love to be lying on that beach, what a gorgeous place 🙂
I believe it is not photoshoped because Bali is an incredible place where you can see a true heaven on Earth!
I wish I were there right now!!
Gorgeous!!! I can’t wait to hit Bali!
Are you planning a trip there after Thailand? You should! 😀
Why would you photoshop a pool onto a beach 😉 If you were going to photoshop something.. it would be unicorns.. or the cookie monster.. or something 😉 Great photo!
Haha! I know, right?! Maybe I should photoshop some unicorns in there. They would fit right in.
Your experience at Bali seems to be so different than ours at the trash-filled Kuta Beach. We wrote about a different side of Bali at: http://www.changesinlongitude.com/kuta-beach-bali-trash/
Cheers,

Gah! That’s so sad!
It looks totally legit to me! the colours of Bali can be incredible.
Then it’s Lightroomed? hahaha
That’s gorgeous! Crazy you got that many pins in a day!
Pinners really like beaches. Good thing I love them too.
oh Bali…one day!
Holy mackerel, I’m booking my flight.
Ahh.. I wish I could book a flight back too! And then I look up ticket prices and remember why I’m not there right now. 🙂
Love it! A return trip to Bali is in order 🙂
Wow this pictures is amazing! That place is really perfect for family vacation, right? Hope I can also bring my family their.
Not the best sea for children to swim in. Best to go to calmer waters like Nusa Dua
Beautiful! I am sure it is even more gorgeous in real life.
This is an incredible picture! We were so close – wish we could’ve seen this. Thanks for posting!
