Uluwatu is where I ALWAYS start my Bali holiday. It's about a 45 minute drive from the airport and has nice white beaches (only can swim at low tide.) This is where I deal with my jetlag and just chill until I'm ready to move. Unless you surf this is a 2-3 day max area to stay in, but a great place to begin. Don't head towards Kuta, Seminyak, Canguu first --you WILL be dissappointed. Lots of traffic and dirty beaches….its just where everyone is becuase theres lots of stuff to do with shopping, eating, and partying.

But I've lived here long enough to sniff out the most sumptuous spots for a dip. Here are my top 15 swimming holes.
