You will find Bali located 3 miles off the west coast of Java with a comparatively tiny land area of just over 5,000km ; Bali could easily fit into Australia over 1,200 times. From the tip of Bali in the north to the tip of the island in the south is only 55miles and east to west it’s only ninety miles, so getting round the island is reasonably straightforward and the longest drive that you’d need to do in order to get to any resort would be 2 hours at the most.
The hottest Bali hotel resorts are situated in the south of the island with a couple of others along the west and east coast. Nusa Dua is the most southern resort that’s favored by travellers, although you may find other less known ones a bit further south. The roads round the coast of Bali are generally in good condition, it is when you leave the main stretch that you’ll find the roads are very rarely maintained to any standard and are typically just dirt tracks regularly impassible by two automobiles and you want to be cautious about folk and animals that use not only these side roads but the main roads to stroll on.
Heading along the west coast from Nusa Dua you will come to Jimbaran another very popular and busy tourist resort. Perhaps ten minutes further along you may go by Ngurah Rai International airport that’s used as a gateway for the remainder of Indonesia. Kuta and South Kuta are perhaps another 20 mins drive from here and this is where you will find the most commercialised area of Bali. Not only are the hotels built to accommodate many tourists, but the leisure facilities and the shopping areas very tourist orientated.
The drive from here to the tip of the west coast will take you past some of the more up market holiday maker destinations of Bali. Legian and Seminyak are situated along the west coast and offer more splendid accommodation including private beaches, gardens and swimming pools. The remainder of the drive up the west coast will take you past many places to stay, but they aren’t the famous or preferred resorts or hotels. For the tourist who favors secluded areas there’ll be plenty of places to stay along this western section of Bali without all the trappings and crowds of the gigantic holiday maker places.
From here you could head inland in an easterly direction and you will come to Ubud which is situated in the mountainous region of Bali. The landscape is worlds apart compared to the coastal resorts. Here you’ll be encircled by lush tropical rain forests with stunning perspectives of the mountains and volcanoes. Driving further east you will shortly come to the eastern shore, where there are some popular resorts. As with the resorts further up the west coast you will find these are way more expensive than the southern areas due to the wonderful diving locations around this area. The widely recognized resorts on the east coast are Candi Dasa and Sanur. After you get to Sanur you can take a detour inland and come to Denspanar, the capital of Bali. Though this isn’t actually a well-liked traveller destination due to its absence of beaches, night life and shopping malls, it remains worth taking time out to explore.
From Denspanar you would drive south again and before you get to Nusa Dua where you started from, you will pass Tanjung Benoa a truly well-liked, but very up market area. Tanjung Benoa is situated on the end of the peninsula and has stunning views of the ocean.
As far as the most visited and popular places in Bali go, those are the better known ones, but Bali offers so very much more. There are such a lot of more Bali hotels situated all round the island and on some of the smaller islands just round the coast. Bali is surely an island to be explored and visiting one of the smaller know villages will give you a much better comprehension of the genuine Balinese lifestyle .
