| Bali Highlights |
| Kuta Beach - Kuta Beach is on the western
side of the island's narrow isthmus. It's considered Bali's most famous
beach resort destination. Kuta Beach is also minutes away from the
Ngurah Rai International Airport in Tuban. The nearby resorts of Tuban,
Legian and Seminyak are all within close walking distance. Once a
simple, rustic and quiet fishing village, Kuta Beach has witnessed a
transformation over the past years. This is due to the rise of various
accommodation options, dining and shopping scenes. The rapid growth owes
much to visitors, beachcombers and art lovers from nearby Australia.
Expatriates also helped pioneer surfing in Kuta. |
Denpasar - Denpasar is the largest city and
capital of the island of Bali, Indonesia.
It is located in South Bali. Denpasar is bristling with temples, palaces
and museums and its occupants are outstandingly friendly.
Many of the main sights are close in the city.
This is also a notable shopping city with options to please even the most
jaded of world shoppers. Kuta Beach is a few minutes away from Denpasar. |
| Ubud - Ubud seems to
outsiders like one small town, it is in fact fourteen villages, each
run by its own banjar (village committee). Ubud has grown rapidly, and
some central parts are creaking under the strain of coping with the number
of visitors. There are still terraced rice fields along the rivers, and away from
the town centre, regular, quiet village life carries on relatively
undisturbed |
Canggu - Canggu is widely used 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.
Nelayan Beach (Fisherman Beach) is where you can still get fresh fish,
lobsters, prawns etc every early morning. Five minutes walk between
Berawa Beach and Batu Bolong Beach. |
