Bali, famed as the island of Gods, is considered a tourist haven for decades. With its varied landscape of hills and mountains, rugged coastlines and sandy beaches, lush rice terraces and barren volcanic hillsides provides a picturesque backdrop to its colourful and unique culture. One of the world’s most popular island destinations, it has something to offer every visitor from young back-packers to the super-rich.
Climbing Mount Agung offers a good day-trip. On the side of this volcano is one of the most important temple complexes of Bali, the Pura Besakih. Kuta is well-known among the international travellers for it has some of the best beaches and is the place-to-be for sunbathers and surfers. The place is swamped with hotels, restaurants, shops and clubs.
The trendy Seminyak boasts of magnificent beaches in Bali. It has a first-rate swimming beach and a number of designer accommodation and fine dining option. The lesser explored village cluster of Ubud is the spirited centre of Bali’s arts scene and an ideal place to try the famed Balinese massage. The valley of tomb cloisters at Gunung Kawi is something not to be missed.
Visit to Bali is not complete without visiting the magnificent Jimbaran Bay. Just outside Denpasar, Jimbaran Bay is a long, beautiful sandy beach. Enjoy fresh sea food with spectacular sunsets from the small family type restaurants along the bay.
The Balinese make the island an even more popular destination to holiday makers from around the world with their friendly nature and hospitality.
