Bali Holidays


asia
Bali holidays offer a fascinating blend of history, culture and stunning natural beauty with a spectacular backdrop of palm-fringed beaches, verdant rice terraces and jungle-clad volcanic peaks.

Friendly local people, mouth-watering cuisine and an abundance of fabulously luxurious resorts await you on a Bali holiday. The southern beaches offer world-class accommodation, fantastic shopping plus an extensive array of dining. Be sure to catch a famous Bali sunset at one of the beachfront restaurants in Jimbaran or sample the lively bars and vibrant nightlife in Seminyak.

Seminyak offers some great sunset spots in Bali being situated on the south west coast and is also a lively beach resort area offering plenty of nice restaurants, cafes and little boutique shops. It is also a good base from which to visit popular temples close by like Tanah Lot and Uluwatu.

Candidasa and the east of Bali offers a more authentic Balinese experience compared to the Southern beach destinations - "Kuta 20 years ago" is how it was described by locals to me. It's also one of the best places for snorkelling in Bali and also a great base to experience mountains, temples and waterfalls.

Dan Spicer -  expert

Ubud is aptly named the cultural heart of Bali. Heaps of temples, art galleries, as well as easy access to the natural sights of Bali such as waterfalls and the volcanoes. The town is well developed without feeling over developed, loads of good restaurants/bars/cafes and all levels of shopping from bustling street markets to artsy boutique shops.
