Jimbaran and Sanur: respectable beach holidays
Families with small children, European retirees who “can afford it,” as well as newlyweds looking for romance choose the resorts of Jimbaran and Sanur for their holidays. The first (southwest Bali) attracts tourists with magnificent hotels, spa centers and a dizzying selection of the freshest seafood on the menu of local restaurants. The second (southeast) is richer in entertainment: Bali Perdana Wisata Tirta Park (JL. Danau Poso Gg. Tanjung, No. 30) and the Asmat Art Museum (Jl. Cemara No. 27) await vacationers.
Not far from Sanur, in the village of Blanjong, there is one of the oldest temples in Bali, dating back to the 10th century.
The resorts have shady alleys and a wide selection of water activities. They are strikingly different only during low tides: in Jimbaran they are almost invisible, while the beaches of Sanur at this time are not the most pleasant sight.

Kuta and Seminyak: Bali's party centers
Cheeky, crowded, rumbling club music and pretentious, slightly arrogant Seminyak, in fact, are twins, simply “raised in different families.” Both resorts are located in the southwest and are equally close to the airport. They will appeal to those who cannot imagine a holiday without discos until the morning, noisy crowds and dozens of restaurants, cafes, bars and shops. There are beaches here too, but they are mostly besieged by surfing fans - the conditions for them are excellent (only the waves in Kuta are a bit high). Others would rather prefer the water park, if we are talking about Kuta, or the countless art galleries and boutiques, if we are talking about Seminyak.
Kuta and Seminyak offer the same lifestyle, but at different prices: in Seminyak everything is much cooler and, accordingly, more expensive.
There is practically nothing to do here with children; looking for authentic temples and villages is also a so-so activity.

Nusa Dua: expensive and rich
The easiest way to feel “five stars” is in. Ordinary Balinese have no access here - the territories of luxury hotels located on the coast are carefully guarded. So no one will intrusively offer massages to tourists on the beach, but in fashionable spa centers it’s easy. You don’t have to limit yourself to just visiting them: you can take a couple of golf lessons, walk through the Bali Collection shopping center (office site in English) and visit the famous Devdan show (office site in English).
Those who miss antiquity and exoticism will have to go after them to neighboring Uluwatu, where the legendary temple stands and rice fields lie.
Living in is expensive, but you can live nearby - in Tanjung Benoa, where prices are slightly lower. But in this part of the island (southeast), low tides significantly spoil the landscape.

Ubud: the heart of Bali
“Whoever has not heard of Ubud has not heard of Bali,” say advanced travelers. This is understandable: Ubud is the geographical, tourist and cultural center of the island, and at the same time it is distinguished by affordable prices and the widest selection of entertainment on the island. In its vicinity there are
Can be classified as follows:
- resorts in the central part of the island;
- north coast resorts;
- resorts on the southwest coast;
- East Coast resorts;
- resorts on the southeast coast.
Each group of resorts in Bali has its own flavor and natural features.
The island is not distinguished by its large territorial expanses, so in a fairly short period of time you can go around it and visit each of the coasts of Bali. As a rule, tourist packages to Bali are sold for a period of 14 days, this period is quite enough to explore the island inside and out (subject to constant movement).
Acquaintance with the island of Bali for all tourists begins in the south of the island, where the capital Denpasar, where the international airport is located, is located. Before you go on vacation to this fabulously beautiful and amazing place, you need to understand what you want to get from your vacation. All Bali resorts are good in their own way, but don’t forget: so many people, so many opinions!
And here the main thing is to understand what exactly you want to get from the trip! After studying the information presented in this article, you will be able to choose the right resort, the atmosphere of which will fully satisfy your needs and wishes during your holiday in Bali.
For some, nature is important, preserved in its original form, for others - snow-white beaches, for some it is important to have constant waves in the ocean to hone their surfing skills in Bali, for others - privacy and tranquility.
Resorts on the southwest coast of Bali
South-west Bali is a concentration of the best hotels and entertainment venues on the island, where a large number of tourists from all over the world prefer to go on vacation:
- Kuta
The most popular and famous resort in Bali among young tourists is Kuta. A place where life is in full swing 24 hours a day. There are plenty of accommodation options in Kuta: from modest 2* hotels to luxury 5* hotels. The prices here are quite affordable! Kuta is ready to provide not only a huge number of bars, restaurants, nightclubs and shops, but also beautiful white beaches. This Bali resort is ideal for those who want to go surfing: along the entire beach there are surf schools, ready at any time to teach you or help improve your surfing skills;
- Legian
Very close to the noisy and never-sleeping Kuta is the resort of Bali, which can be considered a little calmer and quieter - Legian. You can stay here in hotels located away from the main street with all the bars and restaurants. It is ideal for those who prefer to have fun and party, but sleep away from the parties. The distance from Legian to Kuta is only about 2 km;
- Jimbaran
The Jimbaran resort can undoubtedly be considered the most elite holiday destination in Bali. The resort provides accommodation in the best 5* hotels. On Jimbaran, a beach holiday will not depend on the ebb and flow of the ocean: this is an ideal place for swimming and admiring the amazing sunsets on the island. People with great financial resources can afford to spend a vacation at this resort: prices in bars, restaurants and shops are an order of magnitude higher than in the same youth Kuta;
- Uluwatu
The resort of Bali, which surfers who want to practice their favorite sport away from the crowds of curious tourists, strive to get to, is called Uluwatu. Only here can you have the opportunity to conquer a wave reaching a height of 8 meters. The resort is located on the Bukit Peninsula, in its southernmost part. The infrastructure here is rather poorly developed. There are many temples built in Uluwatu, where excursions are organized.
Resorts on the southeast coast of Bali
- Nusa Dua
On the Bukit Peninsula there is another respectable resort in Bali - Nusa Dua. People who have the opportunity to afford a holiday at the highest level come here. Nusa Dua has a magnificent beach and almost always calm ocean water. The resort is ideal for a family holiday with children. This cozy and noise-free place in Bali has all the conditions for a comfortable time: hotels of famous chains, restaurants with different cuisines, shops, private areas on the beaches and a pier with private yachts;
- Sanur
The place where the tourism business in Bali began its foundation is today proudly called the most tranquil resort on the island - Sanur. The length of the well-groomed and very clean beach strip in Sanur is 7 km. Life in this place is unhurried and very measured. The resort is ideal for older tourists. The beaches of Sanur have low tides quite often;
- Tanjung Benoa
The resort, where the spirit of Balinese flavor is still preserved, is located in the southeast of the island and neighbors Nusa Dua. Tanjung Benoa is exactly such a place in Bali. While here, you can go weeks without thinking about business and problems, enjoying the tranquility and secluded atmosphere. The ebb and flow of the tides will not particularly interfere with your vacation: each of the hotels has their schedule, which will allow you to properly plan the next day.
Central part of Bali
I would like to draw your attention...
- Ubud
A rather interesting resort in Bali is the town of Ubud, located in the central part of the island, far from the coast. Only those for whom beach holidays are of secondary importance will want to relax here. You won’t see this type of Bali nature anywhere except in this part: hilly terrain, rice fields, rocks, tropical forest and a river flowing along the cliffs. Ubud will welcome those guests who sincerely want to experience Balinese culture, learn the customs of the local people and take a walk through the real jungle.
Resorts on the northern coast of Bali
In terms of the number of tourists, the northern part of Bali undoubtedly loses to the southern part, but nevertheless, even here the island can surprise and amaze!
- Lovina
Several villages and towns in northern Bali are united into a resort called Lovina. The resort attracts diving enthusiasts from all over the world. All the necessary conditions for scuba diving and exploring the underwater world have been created here. There are practically no waves on the coast of Lovina. The northern coast of Bali surprises tourists with absolutely black sand of volcanic rock.
Resorts on the east coast of Bali
The eastern part of the island has become quite attractive for some time now for tourists, although their share is negligible compared to the number of vacationers in the south of Bali.
- Padang Bay
A resort that provides a secluded and fairly quiet holiday is Padang Bay. The main advantage of this resort is that from here you can easily reach the neighboring islands of Lombok and Nusa Penida;
- Chandi Dasa
An ideal place for snorkeling or diving is the east coast resort of Bali Chandi Dasa. Due to the development of tourism in this once quiet fishing village, the beaches here have become quite small;
- Amed
Not exactly suitable for a beach holiday due to the rocky coastline, the Amed resort is great for divers and lovers of the underwater world.
You've probably already noticed that there are no resorts on the west coast of Bali. The west of the island is where most of the excursions in Bali take place. It is here that the National Park is located and all those temples for which tourists come to Bali from all over the world.
Bali is an island where tourists who prefer a completely different type of holiday will find a place for themselves. With the right resort, it will be equally good for surfers, divers, those who prefer beach holidays, and those who want to experience the culture of local residents by studying
When an exotic lover's choice is on the Bali island, he will have to explore the tropical resorts offered on its territory. The first step is to decide on your priorities for spending your time. Here you can not only enjoy a beach holiday, but also focus on active entertainment or excursion programs. There is something for everyone. Where and what is the best way to relax in Bali? A detailed overview of resort destinations will help you make a choice.
It’s not for nothing that the island’s reputation as a paradise has been assigned. Sand spits and clear water are ideally combined with top-class hotels, an abundance of nightlife and exciting shows. Several well-known destinations among travelers are vying for the title of the most popular vacation destination. The best resorts in Bali are always at the top of the list of tour operators' offers.
Kuta
Convenient location, developed infrastructure and a luxurious beach area are the key advantages of this location. It is located near the airport and claims to be the center of Balinese nightlife. Together with the neighboring Legian, they form a single holiday complex. There are many restaurants, bars and clubs, supermarkets and other retail outlets of various levels and types.
Kuta is in demand among young people, because life on its territory is literally in full swing. The excellent beach line, where the entrance to the water occurs along the sand and not along the reefs, has one drawback - they are constantly crowded. Therefore, this area is not suitable for a family vacation or the privacy of lovers. It is worth considering the constant traffic jams on the roads of this territory - reviews from tourists indicate that they do not end even in the dark.
Tired of the local bustle, you can relax in Legian, where it is a little calmer. A little further away is Seminyak, which is in demand among golden youth. Its hotels and restaurants have price tags that are significantly higher than average.
Jimbaran
The main entertainment of this resort point is relaxing on the shore, fishing and diving. But the particular popularity of the village lies in its developed fishing infrastructure. A variety of seafood caught from the sea can be tasted right there in coastal restaurants, where luxurious dishes are prepared from seafood. However, Jimbaran's entertainment activities are limited to this. Apart from such cafes and expensive hotels, practically nothing has been developed.
There are few water and sports activities, only those offered by hotel complexes. This includes snorkeling, diving or a canoe excursion. Additionally, you can visit the morning fish market or a cooking class, which is held in a number of hotels. This place is suitable for wealthy tourists.
Nusa Dua
Where is the best place for couples with children to relax in Bali? An excellent option would be the resort village of Nusa Dua, which is especially loved by adherents of luxury holidays. Excellent infrastructure and first-class hotels facilitate a leisurely pastime. There is no nightlife, so if a vacationer has children, nothing will disturb their peace. The picture is completed by kilometers of snow-white beaches.
You can go here not only in autumn or winter, as is usually the case among travelers, but also in June, when dry weather has an advantage. If it rains, most hotels have billiards, swimming pools, and libraries.
Ubud
If it is not possible to study the culture and traditions in Nusa Dua, then Ubud, on the contrary, is considered the cultural capital of the island. This is a kind of resort, which is a whole complex of villages. It is less suitable for a beach holiday than the previous ones. However, this is compensated by the concentration of craft workshops and shops selling all kinds of crafts, galleries and museums. Travelers are invited to visit the Ubud Palace, watch national dances, go to the Monkey Forest and purchase goods at the craft market.
Massage in specialized centers is considered one of the best on the island. In addition to it, yoga, aromatherapy, reflexology and many other areas of alternative medicine are developed here. There are plenty of spas in Ubud. There are retail outlets selling natural cosmetics on almost every corner. Fans of partying will find it boring here.
Sanur
For those looking for the best place to relax in Bali in a relaxed atmosphere, Sanur is ideal. This is a combination of a well-groomed coastline and developed infrastructure. At the same time, the pricing policy will also suit less wealthy tourists. The cost of accommodation and food here is cheaper than in Nusa Dua, but more expensive compared to Kuta.
To get around the area, you can rent a bicycle, which costs $5-7 per day. But walking is also pleasant - smooth sidewalks, a lot of greenery and flowering plants create an obvious contrast compared to the southern resort group. The main advantage of Sanur is its clean coastal area with white sand and the presence of many water attractions. In addition to snorkeling, which is traditional for the Balinese island, paragliding, parasailing and riding on various types of water transport are available. A kite festival is held here every year.
Resorts in Bali welcome travelers all year round, and each month has its own charm. For example, in March the island celebrates the local New Year - Nyepi. This very colorful spectacle lasts a whole week and is accompanied by all kinds of festivals, dances and processions. At the same time, it will be possible to get to the standard New Year's holiday in January, but it is worth considering that during this period the weather is mostly rainy.
Beaches
The best beaches in Bali correspond to selected resort areas. However, their key feature is the presence of large waves; you need to try to find a calm place for swimming. But those who go surfing won’t have to look too hard - wave activity can be observed almost everywhere.
The coastline in Nusa Dua and Sanur are the best beaches for swimming. The sea there is relatively calm. But these points have another drawback - constant ebbs and flows. During the latter, it becomes impossible to swim, since it takes a long time to get to the water. The Sanur coast is ideal for swimming children - it is shallow there and the danger of drowning is reduced. For normal swimming, an adult will have to move a couple of tens of meters away.
A less popular but unusual beach with flat water is called Padanwa. It is distinguished by perfectly clean white sand, and the outskirts are decorated with small caves, which will be the best option for photographs. There are small cafes along the shore. In Jimbaran you can find a quiet sea in a small bay, but the coastline of the village is always crowded. This place is also on the list of the best places to swim with children.
Just behind it is the southernmost island point of Bukit, which is famous for its beach called Padang Padang. He gained popularity not only due to flat water, but also due to his participation in the film “Eat. Pray. Love”, fragments of which were filmed here. After the film was released, the beach area began to develop, with sunbeds, umbrellas, and cafes appearing.
If you want to learn to surf, you should head to Kuta. It is there that the main centers for teaching this sport and rental of the necessary equipment are concentrated. A considerable part of the training schools are organized by Russians. The largest waves are observed in February; professional athletes literally flood the island territory during this period. At the same time, competitions among surfers are held. In general, the best season for such athletes begins in November and lasts until the end of winter.
Where is the best place to relax in Bali after hard working days, the tourist decides for himself, depending on the criteria he has set for an ideal vacation. You can plan a trip to this exotic atoll all year round, because even on rainy days there is entertainment for tourists.

Of the numerous Indonesian islands - there are 17,508 of them - foreign guests, including Russian ones, have chosen only one. More than four million travelers annually come to picturesque Bali, whose resorts are truly luxurious. They are drawn here by the desire to relax on the ocean-washed beaches, get acquainted with the unique Balinese culture and admire the beautiful natural landscapes.
Three cities like London or eight St. Petersburgs can fit here. In this relatively small space, guests can enjoy a varied holiday experience at several renowned resorts. The best of them will be discussed below.
Jimbaran
Thanks to coral reefs, many Bali resorts are protected from too large waves that the ocean “sends” to the picturesque coast.
One of them is Jimbaran. It is lucky to be located in a quiet bay, so you can see many children having fun with their compassionate parents on the golden sandy beach. For fans of sliding on a durable board on the surface of the sea, surfing schools are open. The most famous are Rip Curl and Balagan Wave.
In the evenings, almost all vacationers gather on the crowded coastline to sit at tables in one of 60 restaurants and admire the bright pictures of the sunset that nature paints.
For fans of a relaxing holiday, there are several worthy places on the island, for example Sanur. In this quiet Bali resort you can often see older tourists or parents with young wanderers.
For them, nature has created almost ideal conditions: a shallow, warm sea, the absence of dangerous storms and soft yellowish sand. A walking path stretches along the 7-kilometer beach, on both sides of which rise tropical plants.
People who enjoy slow running or walking on comfortable bicycles often meet here.
The resort town attracts fans of snorkeling. Crowds of active vacationers are eager to get to Diving Indo - a large diving center, where you can not only improve your skills in exploring the depths of the sea, but also go on comfortable boats to nearby islands, so alluring and truly beautiful, like an earthly paradise.
Seminyak
The respectable public in Bali has its own vacation spots. First of all, this is Seminyak, famous for its art galleries. In one of them – Kendra – you can see the works of local young artists. Petitenget, a Balinese temple, is well known to most visitors, who are eager to visit it to admire the exquisite ornaments on the façade of the sacred building.
Seminyak attracts hundreds of holidaymakers every day with its sandy beaches, as well as the opportunity to try their hand at surfing. Several entertainment centers are open here for children, among which El Parque stands out. Adults will enjoy having fun at Potato Head, Mixwell, Joe and other bars and clubs in Bali, which are open until late at night.
Nusa Dua
For those who like a comfortable holiday, a small resort on the island of Bali is suitable, as if isolated from the islanders. Primarily wealthy holidaymakers come to Nusa Dua. There are 13 five-star hotels and hotel complexes for them. Some people choose luxurious Samabe or Amanusa. Others prefer more budget options - Kubu or Langon.
Thanks to the coral reef, high waves rarely appear here. But sunbathers are quite pleased with the comfortable conditions on the 3-kilometer sand beach, equipped with straw umbrellas and cozy gazebos. Among the entertainment and shopping complexes, Bali collection stands out, where you can not only go shopping, but also visit a cinema, 20 catering outlets, including a Russian restaurant.
Kuta
Approximately seven kilometers separate the capital from the youth resort of Bali. This is how Kuta is most often characterized, although tourists of all ages relax here. Travelers are attracted by the 5-kilometer strip of sand.
Active people strive to come here to test themselves in the art of conquering the waves of a restless ocean. There are several surf schools for them. Russians often study at Surf Discovery, where a group of qualified Russian instructors works.
Young people will be delighted by the pleasant opportunity to have fun and dance in the local nightclubs. Among them, the crowded Sky Garden, famous for Bounty foam parties, and beloved by trance music lovers DeeJay, stand out. Those who cannot imagine a vacation without visiting large shopping malls will certainly visit Discovery, which houses many stores of international brands. Hardy's has a reputation for cheap clothing, and Beachwalk has several cafes and a modern movie theater. Children, together with caring parents, enjoy relaxing and having fun in Circus or Waterbom - two of the most interesting water parks.
There are a large number of resorts concentrated on the island of Bali. Some of them are located right on the coast and have magnificent beaches. Others are hidden in the outback of the island and allow you to enjoy a relaxing holiday and see the most interesting places in the region. I suggest taking a closer look at each resort, which will allow you to choose your own paradise in Bali.
This is one of the first resorts in Indonesia where tourism began to develop. Just 40 years ago, no one could even imagine that from a simple fishing village a resort town would emerge that tourists would want to visit even from the most remote corners of the globe.
Today the area has great tourism potential. Numerous hotels of different levels were built here, entertainment venues, catering establishments, shops, souvenir shops and other infrastructure facilities were opened.
Numerous beaches are suitable for both relaxing and active holidays. Many of them are popular among surfers. Even those for whom surfing is a completely new sport will appreciate them. The main flow of vacationers are Australians, which is why many establishments are aimed at them.
The central beach is called Kuta Beach, and it is from here that the development of the tourism industry began. It is quite wide, the entrance to the sea is gentle, the sand is white. Most of the hotels are aimed at the average tourist, but finding higher-class accommodation is also not difficult.
Legian
One of the most luxurious resorts in Bali. It is located north of Kuta, and its literal name translates as “pleasant” or “delicious.” Its picturesque landscapes, pleasant climatic conditions, stunning beaches - all this is guaranteed to give an unforgettable vacation experience.
All beaches are formed naturally and consist of a gray color that takes on a metallic hue at dawn. The advantage of the resort is that there are no rock formations or coral reefs, making it safe to swim. The entrance to the sea is gentle. There are many surfers here, coming from all over the world. You can meet both professional wave conquerors and those who are just starting to master this sport.
Unlike other resorts, Legian has lower pricing for many tourist services. There is also night entertainment and a well-developed food system. Fans of shopping will also be able to find something to their liking. The resort has numerous shops, supermarkets, and large department stores.
Jimbaran
The resort is located in the south of the island and is the best place for those who are looking for conditions for a calm and secluded pastime. The international airport is 5 kilometers away, allowing you to get to hotels in a matter of minutes. The hotel base is represented by a wide variety of accommodation options. It will not be difficult to find a modest guest house or hostel here. A higher level of comfort and service is offered by 4 or 5 star hotels, of which there are also plenty at the resort.
The beaches of Jimbaran are clean, the water is azure in color, which attracts couples with children. Facilities on the beaches include sun loungers and umbrellas. In numerous cafes and restaurants you can taste delicious seafood dishes, most of which are caught in the local waters. As for surfing, in most cases beginners come to the resort, since there are no high waves here. The rich underwater world allows for snorkeling. The main attractions of the region are the Uluwatu Temple and the fish market.
Nusa Dua
Looking for a place to relax at the highest level? Then the Nusa Dua resort is just what you need. It is a closed area and is intended for foreign tourists. The resort is located in the eastern part of the Bukit Peninsula. Almost all hotels are classified as 4 and 5 stars and operate on an all-inclusive basis. A highly developed infrastructure will allow even the most demanding tourists to experience a decent level of comfort. Holiday prices are quite high, so I advise you to book accommodation in advance.
The disadvantage of the resort is that the ebb and flow of the tides are very noticeable here; some hotels even post a schedule so that vacationers know when is the best time to go to the beach.
In the western part of the area there are several cliffs that offer stunning views of the surrounding area. Nusa Dua has a huge number of spas and shopping facilities. As for attractions, there are few of them here. But there is always the opportunity to go on excursions to other areas of Bali.
Tanjung Benoa
The resort got its name in honor of a small fishing village, and this is no coincidence, since most of the region’s population is engaged in fishing. Tanjung Benoa simply amazes with its lush tropical vegetation, picturesque landscapes, as well as its wonderful beach, which consists of the finest light-colored sand.
This is one of the youngest tourist destinations, developing at an intensive pace. The central beach of Benoa allows you to enjoy a quiet and relaxing holiday. Such conditions are perfect for couples with small children. Despite the fact that the resort is not famous for active recreation, you can still meet surfing fans on the beaches, mostly those who are just starting to master this sport.
There are a huge number of food outlets and bars located within Tanjung Benoa. Cafes and restaurants serve both national and European dishes. The Kazunoya restaurant deserves special attention; it offers Japanese cuisine.
Sanur
The resort is located in the southeast of the island. Its construction was intended specifically for tourists, making the area the first resort settlement in Bali. Fashionable hotels and highly developed infrastructure have made it an ideal place for an elite holiday. Mostly people come here with small children and those looking for beaches for a relaxing and secluded holiday.
The resort beach bears the same name and stretches along the coast for 5 kilometers. There is a stone path along it, which allows you to enjoy walking or cycling. Due to the fact that there is a coral reef close to the coast, the sea here almost always remains calm. The entrance to the water is gentle, there are no toxic algae or dangerous jellyfish. Fans of active recreation will appreciate diving. In addition, there is the opportunity to learn windsurfing or kiteboarding. Among the attractions, it is worth highlighting the Le Mayer Museum, the Pura Blanjong Temple, and the mangrove reserve.
Padang Bay
A small resort located in the eastern part of Bali. There is a ferry terminal on its main beach, which makes the coastal part not particularly attractive for recreation. That is why this place is often used as a transit point from which to travel to Lombok.
But few people know that a little further there are several more beaches that are ideal for relaxation. Among them is the Blue Lagoon, where a coral reef originates almost at the very shore, which creates optimal conditions for snorkeling.
The resort infrastructure is poorly developed. Here you will not find shopping centers or entertainment venues, so your vacation takes on a completely different direction. There are several diving centers operating on the streets of the resort, and the stunning nature and diversity of the underwater world will give you the most vivid diving experience. For lovers of excursion holidays, several magnificent temples have been preserved; it is from Padang Bay that the easiest way to get to the Batur volcano.
Chandi Dasa
In the south-eastern part of Bali there is the resort town of Chandi Dasa, which is perfect for lovers of a relaxing holiday and for those who decide to get acquainted with the underwater world of the Indian Ocean. The area is surrounded on all sides by picturesque landscapes, the formation of which was influenced by mountain ranges and the endless ocean.
The main hotels, villas and restaurants are located along the road, but the local population lives on the outskirts of the village. There are practically no beaches suitable for swimming within the resort. They are all slightly off to the side. That is why tourists practically do not come here for a long holiday. Vacationers can stay for a couple of days in order to get acquainted with the sights of the eastern part of the island. Another feature of the resort is its numerous diving schools that organize dives in the most beautiful places in the region.
Amed
In the east of the island is the resort of Amed with its beach of the same name. This is another amazing place for lovers of secluded time. The area is perfect for a beach holiday; there are almost never high waves here, which attracts couples with children. The coastal strip is formed by coarse dark-colored sand.
Within the resort there is housing of all classes; it will not be difficult to find a budget option or five-star apartments. In addition, it is possible to rent villas for a longer period.
Near the resort is the Gunung Agung volcano, which is the highest point on the island. For lovers of active recreation, trekking routes have been developed that can take you to its peak. The rich underwater world and the presence of a coral reef create conditions for diving and snorkeling.
Lovina
The quiet resort of Lovina is located in northern Bali. It stretches for 10 kilometers, and its atmosphere is significantly different from that inherent in the southern coast of the island. Good infrastructure and interesting attractions make the area the most visited in this part of the island. The center of the resort is in the village of Kalibukbuk, where most of the hotels, restaurants and tourist offices are located.
The beach is wide, its distinctive feature is dark-colored volcanic sand. The bottom is shallow, there are almost never strong waves. The only drawback is the ebb and flow of the tides. The main entertainment is swimming with dolphins. Around 5-6 o'clock in the morning, dozens of boats set out to sea to enjoy the incredible spectacle. And if you take a walk to the beach after sunset, you can see how the water begins to shine with a silvery-blue hue. It's all because of the night plankton.
Ubud
If you want to get acquainted with Balinese culture and at the same time enjoy picturesque tropical landscapes, then Ubud is the resort for you. The area attracts with its calm, exotic atmosphere. The infrastructure is well developed here: there are numerous shops, yoga schools, spa salons and much more. The only thing the area lacks is beaches. All of them are located at a decent distance.
The hotel stock is represented by hotels of different levels. It won’t be difficult to find decent 5-star apartments here. There are a huge number of attractions located near the resort, which will allow you to diversify your leisure time and create an individual recreation program.
Bali resorts on the map
On this map I have marked all the described resorts.
Each resort in Bali has its own distinctive features. But they all offer excellent conditions for relaxation. Such an abundance of resort areas will allow you to choose the ideal place for your next vacation.
