The 1963 eruption of [[Mount Agung]] killed thousands, created economic havoc, and forced many displaced Balinese to be [[Transmigration programme|transmigrated]] to other parts of Indonesia. Mirroring the widening of social divisions across Indonesia in the 1950s and early 1960s, Bali saw conflict between supporters of the traditional [[caste system]], and those rejecting this system. Politically, the opposition was represented by supporters of the [[Indonesian Communist Party]] (PKI) and the [[Indonesian Nationalist Party]] (PNI), with tensions and ill-feeling further increased by the PKI's land reform programmes.<ref name="ctpqur" /> [[30 September Movement|A purported coup attempt]] in Jakarta was averted by forces led by General Suharto.

The army became the dominant power as it instigated [[Indonesian killings of 1965–66|a violent anti-communist purge]], in which the army blamed the PKI for the coup. Most estimates suggest that at least 500,000 people were killed across Indonesia, with an estimated 80,000 killed in Bali, equivalent to 5% of the island's population.<ref name="ctpqur" /><ref name=Friend /><ref name=Ricklefs /> With no Islamic forces involved as in Java and Sumatra, upper-caste PNI landlords led the extermination of PKI members.<ref name=Ricklefs />

As a result of the 1965–66 upheavals, Suharto was able to manoeuvre Sukarno [[Transition to the New Order|out of the presidency]]. His [[New Order (Indonesia)|"New Order"]] government re-established relations with Western countries. The pre-War Bali as "paradise" was revived in a modern form. The resulting large growth in tourism has led to a dramatic increase in Balinese standards of living and significant foreign exchange earned for the country.<ref name="ctpqur" />

[[2002 Bali bombings|A bombing in 2002]] by militant [[Islamist]]s in the tourist area of [[Kuta, Bali|Kuta]] killed 202 people, mostly foreigners. This attack, and [[2005 Bali bombings|another in 2005]], severely reduced tourism, producing much economic hardship on the island.

On 9 July [[2008 Bali gubernatorial election|2008]], for the first time in Bali's history, the [[Governor of Bali]] election was directly elected by the people.

On 27 November 2017, Mount Agung erupted five times, causing the evacuation of thousands, disrupting air travel, and causing much environmental damage. [[2017–2019 eruptions of Mount Agung|Further eruptions]] also occurred between 2018 and 2019.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-42133502|title=A volcanologist explains Bali eruption photos|date=27 November 2017|work=BBC News|access-date=28 November 2017}}</ref>

On 15–16 November 2022, with the [[2022 G20 Bali summit]], the [[List of G20 summits|seventeenth meeting]] of the [[G20|Group of Twenty]] (G20) was held in [[Nusa Dua]].<ref name="host">{{Cite web|date=2020-11-23|title=Indonesia to Host G20 Summit in 2022|url=https://setkab.go.id/en/indonesia-to-host-g20-summit-in-2022/|access-date=2021-06-02|website=Sekretariat Kabinet Republik Indonesia}}</ref>
