Wanagiri Hidden Hills is an insta-famous spot in Bali known for breathtaking shots over Lake Buyan. Chances are you’ve seen this spot on Instagram, so if you’re looking for how to get your own shot you’ve come to the right place! Wanagiri Hidden Hills are located in north-central Bali within the Wanagiri/Munduk region. It’s right on the main road, Jl Raya Wanagiri, and overlooks the beautiful Lake Buyan. While it’s a full hour and a half from Ubud, it’s a short 15 minute drive from Munduk center. Wanagiri Hidden Hills is an outdoor complex along the coast above Lake Buyan that has many different apparatuses to take photos in. As soon as you arrive you can purchase your ticket and enter into what we like to call the “Instagram factory.”

Inside there are about 10 different apparatuses you can take photos on, including the famous Bali swing. Do note, though, that this is not a Bali swing where you can actually swing! The different photo spots consist of hanging birds nests, a few different swings,Bamboo hearts and circles, etc. All of them have a beautiful view and optical illusion like you are floating over the lake. At each apparatus there is a worker who will help you get up and move the ladder afterwards. He will also help hold the swing while you change poses, etc. Once you are situated they all have reflectors that they will use to help you get optimal lighting at each spot. If you want a shot with your partner or if you come solo, they are happy to take it for you. While always use a tripod for our shots together, for the swing we needed their help to get the right angle.
