Thomas Beach, Bali

A tropical paradise included in the hand-crafted itineraries of our Bali vacation packages from India, Thomas Beach nestles in one of the busiest parts of Bali- the Bukit Peninsula. Yet, it is nowhere near as famous or crowded as its sister beaches. Perhaps this is why the natural elegance of the beach is so well maintained till the very day. Thomas Beach is characterized by the typical image of stunning golden shores, bright blue waters and the sway of palms against sheer white cliffs.

Although not as highly organized as most other public beaches, Thomas Beach does feature a fair share of parasols and chaises for those looking for a quiet day under the sun. Unlike several of Bali’s beaches, the waters here are calm and devoid of current, making it the perfect spot for a quick dip or a swim. 

Adventure lovers will find that there is a lot going on at the beach. While anyone is welcome to bring their own boats, paddles or surf equipment, the beachfront here features several rentals leasing out paraphernalia for sports like kayaking, paddleboarding, and surfing. Owing to the calm waters, Thomas Beach can be a great place to learn water sports as well. 

Although there are no high-end restaurants at Thomas Beach, one comes across several warungs or local eateries serving traditional Indonesian meals at pocket-friendly prices.

• Lounge on the stunning golden sands of Thomas Beach, taking in the tropical views that surround you on all sides
• Rent a boat or a surfboard and take it out into the ocean, riding its gently lapping waves along the way
• Enjoy a steaming hot bowl of Indonesian rice at any of the local warungs on Thomas Beach, coupling the meal with resplendent views
• Take a stroll along the calm and peaceful coastline of Thomas Beach, basking in the tranquility of the area

Thomas Beach is located right next to Padang Padang Beach in Uluwatu, in the Bukit Peninsula. One can reach Uluwatu either by hiring a car or a bike from any of the nearby districts. Alternatively, one can even avail the services of the Perama Buses that ply throughout Bali.

Although Thomas Beach can be visited throughout the day, and all through the year, visiting the beach in the early hours would perhaps be a good idea. The Bali sun is notorious for its scathing heat, and reaching early would not only let one escape the wrath of the midday sun, but also secure them a parasol or a chaise lounge on the beach sands.
