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 is distinguished by affordable prices and the widest selection of entertainment on the island. In its vicinity there are
Bali's resorts are so diverse that they can satisfy the needs and desires of absolutely any tourist. The choice of one or the other depends only on internal beliefs, personal preferences and financial capabilities. At the same time, at any time you can change your place or even go on a tour of the most interesting resort towns of Bali, fortunately there is plenty to choose from.
Nusa Dua
When dreaming of a vacation on the coast, you imagine luxurious mansions, rooms in five-star hotels, only the highest level of service, and snow-white beaches and the azure sea. You will find all this and even more in Nusa Dua.
This resort area is recognized as the birthplace of tourism and recreation on the island of Bali. Some of the first hotels throughout the country were founded and rebuilt here. Today they are concentrated here best hotels only VIP class, offering recreation of the same high level. The entire coast of Nusa Dua is almost a continuous strip of 5-star hotels, the territory of which is quite problematic for those who do not live in a hotel.
The beach area is almost completely divided between hotels, which also helps protect guests from the close attention of others and annoying tourists who cannot afford a luxury vacation. On hotel premises you can often find expensive spas, beauty salons, swimming pools and golf courses, parks and pedestrian areas, recreation areas and chic restaurants. The Nusa Dua resort itself is a well-polished area for those people who are not used to counting money, value comfort and can afford a holiday of absolutely any cost. Film and television stars, musicians, politicians, athletes and other representatives of elite society, including those from Russia, often relax here.
If you budget tourist, then you should not think that Nusa Dua is completely inaccessible to you paradise. In order for you to relax in these places, it is enough to drive away from the coast, where you can rent housing. You will have to travel to the beach from afar, but you can choose open areas or the beaches of those hotels where access from the street is not blocked. In principle, all Bali beaches are open and free areas of land, but still some hotel owners somehow seek restrictions on visiting the beach located on the territory of their hotel.
Nusa Dua Beach is quite influenced by the tides, but even during high tide you can relax comfortably on the coast. Timetable for when this occurs natural phenomenon contained on signs near the beaches of all resort hotels. Strong waves that occur here from time to time usually do not prevent tourists from sunbathing or swimming in the ocean.
On the territory of the Nusa Dua resort there is a large shopping center - Bali Collection, which can be reached on foot from almost any hotel. This place is considered the center of supermarkets, shops, boutiques, cafes and restaurants. If you decide to go shopping, then remember that prices here are slightly higher than in other Balinese resorts, but the goods are of excellent quality. In the same shopping center, in the gallery, various performances on national themes are shown in the evening.
Tanjung Benoa
Indonesia offers relaxation not only to wealthy tourists, but also welcomes people of any income. Thus, in close proximity to the fashionable Nusa Dua there is the resort of Tanjung Benoa - simpler and more accessible, less pretentious and expensive. Such proximity does not in any way detract from the merits of this place, but on the contrary further emphasizes its spontaneity and difference from its neighbor. Middle-income people who are accustomed to active entertainment and good service.
Tanjung Benoa can offer vacationers excellent opportunities for recreation and entertainment: clean beaches, azure clear ocean waters, boats, parachutes, jet skis, bananas and other water activities.
Not so long ago this now resort village was a small fishing village and the main waterway of the city. Today, the port still operates here, but for other purposes - renting out vessels and equipment for active water recreation.
Tanjung Benoa Beach stretches for one and a half kilometers and is a wide strip of pure white sand. There are no strong waves or dangerous sea animals here, since about a kilometer from the shore there is a fairly large coral reef, which acts as a barrier to the resort. Just like in neighboring Nusa Dua, low and high tides are a standard phenomenon. You can find out the schedule of this natural phenomenon at any hotel. 
Tanjung Benoa is a fairly young resort not only in Bali, but in Indonesia in general. Despite the fact that it began to develop quite recently, it has already gained enviable popularity and has become one of the largest centers of water entertainment in this region.
The highlight of the resort is the fact that there are buildings representing various religious denominations modern world: Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and Christianity.
Also, in addition to standard excursion programs, Tanjung Benoa offers its vacationers sea excursions. You can go to the turtle center, walk through the mangroves, sit with a fishing rod by the water, admire the dolphins that will swim very close to you, and also do a lot of other interesting things. If you know in advance what kind of entertainment you will prefer at the resort, you can book excursions online and receive a discount that is promised by almost every excursion bureau on the island.
Kuta
It is impossible to imagine Indonesia without a resort aimed at meeting the needs and desires of the young population of our planet. Today it is a popular holiday destination for partygoers - the resort of Kuta, which is located in Bali.
Kuta is recognized as the most populous resort on the island. It is located approximately 15 minutes from the airport and is considered the closest to it. The place is suitable for a holiday for absolutely any tourist, as there are both cheap hostels and expensive luxury hotels. The resort is somewhat similar to an anthill, as new tourists come here every day, looking for exciting holiday experiences and good nightlife. It is noisy, often dirty, but at the same time very fun and interesting.
The best beaches are Tuban, Kuta, Seminak and Legian in Bali. Kuta Beach, famous for its wide strip of sand and noisy surf, is considered the most suitable for surfing. The remaining beaches are located on both sides of Kuta and are considered its logical continuation, albeit calmer and cleaner.
Seminyak has luxurious villas and unusual restaurants. If we talk about the coast as a whole, then calm swimming is practically inaccessible here, as there are underwater currents and powerful surf. Swimming is only possible in areas marked with red and yellow flags. Kuta is the best place for beginner surfers: big waves, as well as the complete absence of corals and underwater rocks, makes the resort a suitable place for beginners.
If you have no idea have a nice rest in Indonesia without nightlife, then Kuta is your option and this resort will not disappoint you. Most bars, clubs and restaurants are open until the morning, but there are also those that close around midnight. Here you can leisurely cruise through the city streets, periodically visiting open bars until dawn. You will be accompanied by thousands of other tourists, who, just like you, are wandering around in search of adventure. But, despite such an active nightlife, you should not expect any obscenities from Kuta, since the resort is considered an “immaculate” place (there are no strip bars or go-go dancing here).

Jimbaran
Jimbaran is another expensive resort that represents a luxury vacation. The village is located just 15 minutes from the noisy and crowded Kuta. Unlike its sleepless neighbor, Jimbaran offers a peaceful holiday where you can enjoy private beach near a rented villa in the middle of dense forests and during your vacation you won’t meet a single person! The resort is still gaining popularity, so the public side of recreation and infrastructure are not of a very high level.
The ocean in the resort bay is an ideal place for beach holiday and swimming, not affected by the tides. There are also excellent conditions for diving and snorkeling.
The Jimbaran coastline is famous throughout the island for its wide variety of seafood restaurants, serving delicious dishes at very reasonable prices. The tables of almost all establishments are located right next to the water on a sandy section of the shore.
Sanur
Are you planning a quiet family holiday in Indonesia? Prefer to relax in Bali? Then feel free to go to Sanur! The description of this resort by numerous vacationers sounds like a peaceful place with a calm atmosphere and untouched nature. Sanur is a fairly large resort area with a huge selection of hotels, bars, restaurants and shops. You can get here from the airport in half an hour.
The main advantage of the resort is its seven-kilometer beach with white sand. The port of the same name is also located here, from which you can get to the islands nearby Bali: Gili, Penida, Nusa, etc. The majority of tourists here are Europeans who inherently adore peace and tranquility, and also value comfort, good service and the absence of a large influx of tourists. If we talk about prices, they are much higher here than in Kuta, but inferior to those in Nusa Dua. 
Holidays are not available to every tourist, since the main segment of hotels is within 3 – 5 stars. As for cheap housing and hostels, this is very difficult here.
Sanur beach is clean, calm and quiet. There are practically no waves here. During low tide it is shallow near the shore, and to reach the depth you will have to walk for a very long time. That is why Sanur is considered a favorite place for families with small children. There are many wide pedestrian paths around the resort, making the village the safest place for walking and cycling.
Lovina
Lovina is not the best popular resort Indonesia and, in particular, the island of Bali, since it is located on the northern coast, where it will take about 3 hours to get from the airport by taxi.

There are no waves at the resort, and the affordable prices for housing and food attract tourists from all over the world.
The main value of the resort is unity with wild nature, enjoying its riches: hot sulfur springs, active diving, varied excursion program to natural beauties. Cockfights are considered a unique entertainment of the region, which can be attended by anyone.

Indonesia is famous not only for its coastal resorts, but also for those located in the wild jungle. One of these places is considered to be a small city in the heart of the Balinese jungle - Ubud. It is located between picturesque rice terraces, river valleys and hills covered with jungle. Ubud is a place where you can not only have a relaxing time, but also get acquainted with the culture and history of the region.
The journey from the airport will take about an hour. If you are not ready to spend your entire vacation in such a place, then you can come here from any seaside resort in Bali for at least a few days.

Others are hidden in the outback of the island and allow you to enjoy a relaxing holiday and see the most interesting places the edges. 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 there would arise resort town, which tourists will want to visit even from the most remote corners Globe.
Today the area has a large tourism potential. Numerous hotels of different levels were built here, entertainment venues were opened, Catering, shops, souvenir shops and other infrastructure facilities.
Numerous beaches are suitable for both relaxation and relaxation. active rest. 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 are 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.

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 you to feel a decent level of comfort even for the most discerning tourists. 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 simply amazes with its lush tropical vegetation, picturesque landscapes, as well as its wonderful beach, which consists of the finest light-colored sand.

Fashionable hotels and highly developed infrastructure have made it an ideal place for 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
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. You won't find here shopping centers, entertainment venues, thanks to which 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 excursion holiday 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 southeastern part of Bali is the resort town of Chandi Dasa, which is perfect for connoisseurs relaxing holiday and for those who decide to get acquainted with the underwater world of the Indian Ocean. On all sides the area is surrounded 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 local population lives on the outskirts settlement. 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 the numerous diving schools that organize dives in most beautiful places 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, we offer villa rentals for more long term.
Near the resort is the Gunung Agung volcano, which is the most high 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.

Tanjung Benoa
The ocean means splashes, jumps, bananas, boats, jet skis, parachutes and other water activities. If you can't imagine a beach holiday without all this, then your resort in Bali is Tanjung Benoa.
A small fishing village located north of Nusa Dua, it was once the island's waterway. Today, a small port still operates here, the main purpose of which is to rent out watercraft for active water tourism.
Tanjung Benoa is the youngest tourist resort, which is still developing, but has already gained popularity thanks to large centers water activities. One of the first water amusement parks to appear in Benoa was Watersport. Now there are already several such centers in the area: North Coast, Benoa marine recreation, Sari Merta Segara - the main competitors of Watersport.

Prices in Watersport start from 55,000 rupees, in Benoa marine recreation - from 25,000 per person.

An active youth movement of surfers from all over the world, unusual restaurants, nightclubs, and a cool water park provoked a tourist boom in Kuta. Now this is the most crowded resort in Bali, which stretches along the southwest coast at a distance of five kilometers. The Kuta map highlights three main streets.
The street closest to the beaches is Pantai, where hotels and surf schools are located. This is a kind of residential area. Next stretches Legian Street - the heart of youth life. This is where they have fun, socialize and shop. The Sky Garden club is also located here - the center of all Kuta parties. The next block is Mataram Street. Life here is completely different: everything is simple, cheap and without pathos. Among the shops and services, those related to surfing are especially in demand.
Kuta is not rich in cultural and historical monuments, the water here is opaque, sometimes even cloudy. But the sandy ocean bottom and safe waves create ideal conditions for learning to surf, which is conducted by international schools, including Russian. Because of this, it is always very crowded here, there are traffic jams on the streets, and it is noisy at night. In a word, a paradise for young people.
Sanur
When, while sitting at work, you dream of being alone with your life partner, spending time with your children, or living a leisurely family life, then when deciding which resort to choose in Bali, pay special attention to Sanur.

But the most impressive place- this is a forest of monkeys.
In Bali, the dry season lasts from May to September, but the most comfortable time to relax is July. The rainy season is warmer, but not everyone who is unfamiliar with the Asian climate can tolerate the increased humidity combined with high temperatures.
