Kuta

Kuta is world famous and a major drawcard for travellers. It is Bali’s largest and busiest tourist resort providing a vast selection of accommodation of all styles, western food, great shopping, surf, sunsets and nightlife. If not the best beach in Bali, Kuta Beach is definitely the most famous and the only surf that breaks over sand and not coral. Despite all the excesses, away from the traffic-clogged streets and over development, Kuta is still a village, a place of quiet compounds and narrow alleys, where devotional offerings are placed in front of houses and neighbours emerge in the coolness of the evening to gossip in the street.

Legian

Legian overlaps the northern part of Kuta and stretches out along the beach hinterland through to the rice paddies of Seminyak. Legian offers a maze of roads and alleyways between the main road Jalan Legian and the beach. A hive of activity reverberates throughout with busy restaurants, markets, bars, food stalls and endless shops. Although congested there is a distinctly less frantic feel than Kuta and many returning visitors show a preference for their stay to be in Legian.

Seminyak

Sanur is a relaxing alternative to Kuta for those coming to the sea, sand and sun. Sanur has a relaxed cosmopolitan feel that offers food quality, inexpensive restaurants and a large variety of tourist services. A broad selection of shops that include arts and crafts as well as home wares and clothing. The Sanur area has an active nightlife but on a smaller scale to Kuta. There is plenty of choice in hotels to suit all standards. The beach is a narrow stretch of white sand sheltered by a reef.

Sanur

Nusa Dua

Nusa Dua literally translates to “two islands”. The islands are actually raised headlands, each with a small temple. Nusa Dua is better known as a planned enclave of large and luxurious beachfront resorts. The Nusa Dua complex is clearly defined and quite spread out. The entrances are distinct gateways leading to expensive lawns, manicured gardens and sweeping driveways approaching the lobbies of the resorts. The Nusa Dua beach continues north joining the peninsula of Tanjung Benoa and extending for about 4 kilometres to Benoa Village one of the most multi-denominational corners of Bali. In recent times Tanjung Benoa has seen the development of several high standard international resorts. With white sands leading to calm waters the beachfront at Tanjung Benoa is ideal for watersports.

Jimbaran Bay

Jimbaran Bay is located south of Kuta and Denpasar Airport. The bay is a superb crescent of white sand and blue sea. Jimbaran itself is a fishing village that has attracted some of the world’s best resort hotels. For those who love the outdoor eating experience a wonderful choice of seafood restaurants are scattered at different points around the bay and make a great way to spend an evening. Uluwatu lies at the southern tip of Bali surrounded by a wild coastline of high cliffs and surfbreaks. The limestone hills are arid compared with the lush lowlands. The area is famous for the Pura Luhur Ulu Watu temple, one of the most important temples to the spirits of the sea.

Ubud

Ubud is situated in the hills 20 kilometres to the north of Denpasar. Ubud is the serene cultural centre of Bali. Extensive development in recent years has meant that Ubud has engulfed a number of nearby villages, although these have retained their distinct identities. Head off in any direction and you’re in for an interesting walk to a secluded craft hamlet, through the rice paddies or into the dense Monkey Forest, just south of the town centre.

East Bali

East Bali, a most pleasant trip is a circuit from Randang, around the slopes of Gunung Agung to Amlapura, then following the coast back to southern Bali via Candi Dasa. Attractions include beautiful scenery, traditional villages, some important temples and a climb up Gunung Agung. Most visitors come for the surf that breaks on the reefs, the pristine unspoilt beaches and relaxation. A small island only one hour by boat from Benoa Harbour. Surrounded by a reef which boasts an abundance of marine life and great surf breaks. Activities include fishing, diving and snorkelling. Discover fresh water
springs, underwater caves or cycle around the island. There is something for everyone at Nusa Lembongan. Only a short flight to the east of Bali lies the island of Lombok. The resorts are located on beachfront land around the west coast area of Senggigi and the nearby Gilli Islands with smaller developments to the south in Kuta. Lombok is rich in culture and offers relaxation, handcrafts, weaving and pottery.
