100+ Bali Instagram Captions (Uluwatu, Ubud, Nusa & Gili)

Sunsets over the Uluwatu cliffs, surf all year round, rice terraces, temples, smoothie bowls and a Bintang in hand: Bali was made for Instagram. We spent four months over two years in Bali, Nusa Lembongan, Lombok and the Gili Islands, most of it in Uluwatu, so we’ve watched more than our share of Single Fin sunsets. Here are our favourite Bali captions, with Uluwatu, Ubud, Nusa and Gili captions, food and funny ones, Indonesian words with translations and the best hashtags.
