Kuta Beach tops the list for locals and tourists alike. It’s busy, and can appear intimidating to a beach goer looking for peace and quiet, but the waves and the old charm of Kuta remains today. Spend your day surfing, or leisurely walking the beach, buying trinkets and keepsakes from local vendors. Sanur Beach is a destination hotspot for those vacationers looking for something a little different than the hustle and bustle of Kuta. The beach here is guarded by the Sanur Reef, so the waves are calm, promoting relaxation and creating a perfect spot for swimming.
ALL ABOUT UBUD
While laying on the beach and snorkeling your days away should make up most of your Bali vacation, don’t skip out on taking a day trip to Ubud. Home to Bali’s most famous landscapes, Ubud encompasses intense beauty and rich culture. Vibrant, green hillsides make up the landscape, and you’ll find the area beautifully speckled with Hindu shrines, temples and places of worship. Feel free to get lost in the views of the rice paddies and the bordering rainforest. Some of the most famous artisans in the world have visited or worked in Ubud, leaving behind works from every art form you can think of. Wander the museums in Ubud and spend hours taking it all in. Cultural landmarks, palaces and even touristy attractions such as the Bali Safari and Marine Park, are all worth a visit.
DINING, NIGHTLIFE AND SHOPPING
A Bali vacation doesn’t stop at the beach or after a day trip to Ubud. For some, it’s a once in a lifetime trip, so take in as much as you can while you’re there. The food in Bali, either on or off the resorts, is nothing short of authentic worldly cuisine. While in Kuta, be sure to stop into Ma Joly Restaurant and Lounge for beachfront views, exceptional ambiance and a French menu sure to delight. As for nightlife, when the sun goes down, the beach pulses full of nightclubs and party-goers. Again, Kuta offers up some of the best dance clubs in Bali, ensuring that patrons party happily and safely. The shopping in Bali is endless, from local vendors selling handmade items to the famous Monkey Forest Road in Ubud, which meets up with the Jalan Legian Shopping Street.
