4 Bali-Inspired Destinations in Yogyakarta

Ngobaran Beach

Without a shadow of a doubt, this beach is stunningly beautiful. The blue sea water with shades of green creates a calming and pleasant sight for the eyes. And the waves make the beachside activities more enjoyable.

The beach which is located in Gunung Kidul Regency has a temple to serve as a place of worship for the locals. It is similar to the beach in Tanah Lot, Bali. Additionally, the sturdy cliffs towering along the beach give a much more similar vibe as the beaches in Bali.

Pok Tunggal Beach

The next Bali-inspired destination located also in Gunung Kidul Regency is Pok Tunggal Beach. Unlike Ngobaran Beach, Pok Tunggal has a relatively long shoreline and gentle waves.

The white sandy beach is reminiscent of Kuta Beach in Bali. It is one of the best spots for you to enjoy sunset. Thus, visitors gathering and sitting along the beach is a common view as evening approaches.

Kedung Kandang Waterfall

Gunung Kidul is like a natural paradise for tourism in Yogyakarta. To complete the experience, let us check Kedung Kandang Waterfall which is as breathtakingly beautiful as the beaches. Situated in the highlands and surrounded by rice fields, you will see a charming spot like Ubud, Bali.

Unlike typical waterfall, Kedung Kandang Waterfall has tiered structure that creates a tranquil water flow. With the cool and refreshing air, TRAC Friends will love staying here longer, enjoying every moment.

Queen of The South Resort

In Bali, seaside accommodations add a unique allure to the attraction, enabling guests to directly face the ocean. It is effortlessly easy to find resorts and hotels with such a concept there.

However, Bali is not the only one. Yogyakarta also offers accommodation with an incredible view of the Indian Ocean. You can indulge yourself in staying at Queen of The South Resort. Queen of the South Resort is located around 2.5 kilometers away from Parangtritis Beach, an ideal option for a family getaway.

Those are four Bali-inspired destinations in Yogyakarta. Due to the locations being quite far from the downtown, it is better to use TRAC car rental services to explore those destinations.
