Trip to Bali

Your trip to Bali where the tropical warmth hits you like a wave at Bandar Udara International Airport. Then, after filtering through a short customs check, you’re greeted by throngs of smiling faces. A small crowd of friendly drivers waits to whisk you away to your Bali holiday destination. The whole experience leaves you thinking that the Balinese people may be the happiest on Earth.

But the real shock takes place when you pay for your ride. You throw the trip to Bali driver a few thousand rupiahs then silently do the maths in your head. It was only a few bucks! Your money sure goes a long way in this tropical paradise. Might as well live like royalty during your Bali holiday.

A Bali trip is the perfect escape. The island offers up a lush landscape, ornate temples, friendly people and a very favourable exchange rate. Your Bali holiday can have you experiencing culture, world-class diving and snorkelling, delectable cuisine, unique Bali spa treatments and stunning natural surrounds.

The island does come with its pitfalls. But, if you know how to avoid these tourist traps, your trip to Bali can be incredibly calm, relaxing and rejuvenating.

The main drag in Kuta comes to life every night. Partiers from around the world descend upon Bali’s coastal city to party until the break of dawn. This is where the island gets its party reputation. If that’s your bag; enjoy. If not, look elsewhere with us to have the indulgent holiday you deserve.

The exchange rate is so favourable that you should consider luxury Bali holiday packages. Booking a package allows you to know exactly what you’re getting yourself into. It allows you to avoid the partying mobs while experiencing some of the island’s most beautiful destinations.

Luxury Bali holiday packages can include different Bali spa packages. You can relax with a stunning view while you receive world-class Bali spa treatments. Choose a day spa Bali on the interior of the island to peer out over rice terraces while melting into your treatments. Or you can choose to receive a message on a sea cliff overlooking the surfers at sunset.

Each day spa Bali is unique in geography and treatment. But you know you will be pampered when your money is so valuable. You can spend a week at a day spa Bali indulging in all of the treatment options. Booking Bali spa packages let you know exactly what to expect during your stay.

Bali is a spiritual place. You’ll be washed over by the silence while looking out over the jungle on the interior of the island. Or you can choose to meditate after a session of yoga on the beach. And you can purchase peace of mind for your Bali escape by arranging a luxury holiday ahead of time. Choose to be whisked away on a romantic escape where you’ll explore ornate temples with your loved one by day only to retreat back to your pampered hotel for spa treatments at night.

Leave the partying to the backpackers. Have one of our drivers take you around Kuta’s party strip to explore the more romantic, spiritual, remote and beautiful parts of the island. And treat yourself like royalty. It all starts at the airport where you can arrange for one of our drivers to be waiting for you with a name placard.

Amed

Take a trip to Bali: Amed is a long stretch of coast running from the village of Culik about 14 km eastwards incorporating the seven villages of Amed, Jemeluk, Bunutan, Lipah, Selang, Banyuning andAas. The pace of life here is slow and the coastal scenery quite stunning making Amed the perfect place for a relaxed holiday in Bali.

Bedugul

Take a trip to Bali: Bedugul is a large area of the central highlands of Bali around the villages of Bedugul, Candikuning, Pancasari, Pacungand and Wanagiri. This is an area of great natural beauty. The focus point of the area centres on the three crater lakes of Bratan (Beratan), and Tamblingan, and the nearby botanical gardens. The whole area is at an altitude of 700 metres or more, with the tallest mountain peaks above 2,000 metres, and it can be distinctly chilly here.

The Bukit Peninsula

Take a trip to Bali: The Bukit is a large limestone peninsula which, bar a sliver of land just south of the airport, would be a separate island. It is rugged and dry, and pre-tourist development this was a real backwater of Bali. The Bukit (as it is commonly referred to) includes the famous cliff-hanging temple at Uluwatu, a number of Bali’s very best beaches including Balangan, and the top surfing spots on the island. As is so often the case, it was intrepid surfers who really opened up the eyes of the world to this part of the island.

Candidasa

Take a trip to Bali: the stretch of coastline from Manggis through Candidasa town itself and east to Bugbug, is normally just referred to as Candidasa. This is a laid back area of Bali with a wide range of accommodation options. Heavy traffic runs through the town, so you’d need to head to the beach facing resorts/hotels if you want to escape the traffic. The black sand beaches are very narrow and often disappear altogether at high tide.

Canggu

Take a trip to Bali: Canggu proper is a small village on the beach about 20 minutes north of Seminyak, half way to Tanah Lot. Canggu is widely used though to refer to a large coastal stretch of about 8 km, running north from the village of Berawa (just north of Seminyak) to the village of Cemagi (just south of Tanah Lot) taking in “Batu Bolong Beach”, Echo Beach, “”Nelayan Beach””, Pererenan Beach, Selasih Beach, Seseh Beach and Mengening Beach along the way. It is still a largely rural area away from the beaches, but is being developed fast.

Kuta

Take a trip to Bali: Kuta is the best known tourist area on the island of Bali in Indonesia and offers a decent surfing beach. It is a fun destination for a big night of bar and club-hopping along several dozen low-end nightclubs and many dive bars within walking distance of the main strip.

Legian

Take a trip to Bali: Stretching north from Kuta, Legian offers the same easy access to shops and bars but a slightly more relaxed and less chaotic feeling. It is a low-key area where you can still get the low prices of Kuta without some of the hassle. The northern area of Legian bordering Seminyak offers a bit of an escape from the crowds and is also a popular surf beach.

Lovina

Lovina is a group of seven traditional villages along the north coast to the west of Singaraja. The whole stretch of coastline in the north is fringed by quite narrow black sand beaches, which are accessed by a multitude of small lanes. The beaches are generally safe for swimming, and the waters of Bali’s north coast, in direct contrast to the crashing surf of the south, are relatively calm.

Medewi Beach

Medewi Beach is a tiny, remote village in one of the least visited areas of Bali. It is very much a surfing hot spot, and most visitors who do stay here stay for that reason alone. For non-surfers, it does offer a glimpse of what so much of Bali was like before the growth of mass tourism in the 1970s, and is a great place to relax.

Negara

Negara is the least visited area of Bali, and is sparsely populated, except along the main southern coast road from Denpasar to Gilimanuk, the seaport which connects Bali to Java. Most of the land is covered by the forests and highlands of West Bali National Park and adjacent protected areas. The flatter southern region is very fertile and is rice growing country.

Nusa Dua

Nusa Dua has many luxury hotels, most popular golf course in Bali and it is the main convention centre on the island. The Nusa Dua enclave has three manned gates and everyone entering is subject to a security search. The beaches are glorious – white sand, deep, long and safe for swimming. The public beach at Geger is the best to head to if you are not staying at Nusa Dua.

Nusa Penida

Nusa Penida is the largest of three islands off the south eastern coast of Bali, the others being Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan. Nusa Penida is much larger than the better known Nusa Lembongan. However, tourist infrastructure is very limited here but growing fast.

Padang Bai

Most visitors to Padang Bai are there to catch a boat to Lombok and sadly miss out on a charming little place in its own right. People who do give it a chance often cancel their trip in order to spend more time in this lovely village. Spending a night or two here will certainly not be time wasted.

Pemuteran Bay

Pemuteran Bay has become increasingly popular with visitors in recent years. There are a number of waterfront resorts and its proximity to Lovina and West Bali National Park together with the extreme natural beauty of the area, has created rapid growth in tourism infrastructure in the area. It is the home to the largest artificial Biorock reef project in the world and there is a real spirit of marine conservation effort in this area.

Sanur

Sanur is Bali’s oldest upscale resort area and is a mature beach-side town. Despite the abundance of restaurants and accommodation, it has a quiet and relaxed feel to it. In general terms, it is more expensive than Kuta but cheaper than Seminyak. Sanur tends to appeal most to middle-aged and older families, especially Europeans.

Seminyak

The next town north of Legian, Seminyak is more upmarket. The atmosphere is much more laid-back than Kuta, and the beach in particular is quieter during the day. Seminyak is also the spa and boutique shopping capital of Bali. This area is very popular with resident expatriates and land and accommodation prices are the highest in Bali. There are many luxury spas and hotels. Owing to its high density of high-end shopping, combined with the clustering of many fine eating establishments, it has rapidly become one of the most well-known tourist areas on the island.

Singaraja

Singaraja still has some of the feel of an old colonial capital. The streets are wider and grander than elsewhere in Bali and some of the old houses set in large gardens recall days long gone. Singaraja just looks different from other towns and cities in Bali. This is also a noticeably multi ethnic city. The Arabic influence is especially apparent in the district near the old docks called Kampung Arab and the largest Chinese temple in Bali is here.

Tanah Lot

Tanah Lot is a rock formation off the Indonesian island of Bali. It is one of the important directional temples in Bali. The temple is located on a rock just offshore. It is said to be the work of revered 15th century Hindu priest Nirartha and forms an important element of Balinese spirtualism and mythology.

Ubud

While Ubud seems to outsiders like one small town, it is in fact fourteen villages, each run by its own banjar (village committee). It has grown rapidly, and some central parts are creaking under the strain of coping with the number of visitors. Most development is sympathetic, if not designed specifically in the local style. Growth continues apace, but there are still terraced rice fields along the rivers, and away from the town centre, regular, quiet village life carries on relatively undisturbed. Central Ubud is heavily commercialized and teems with tourists.
