It's time for Bali

No stay in Bali is complete without a trip to the beach. Take your pick from the island's many sandy shores, each offering an impressive array of dining, leisure and sporting activities.

Head to Kuta and Legian, two of Bali's most popular beaches, to experience the hype in person, but don't neglect the other beaches either. Sanur is a favourite among young families for its calm, shallow waters, and Seminyak puts you at the epicentre of Bali's sophisticated boutiques, bars and restraurants. If you're after a more secluded experience, pick Nusa Dua, an exclusive stretch of sand that luxury resorts call home. Whichever beach you choose, Bali is a paradise for seasoned surfers and divers, as well as those looking to pick up a new sport. 

Don't forget the other spectacular landscapes across Bali, or its rich culture and heritage. While Jimbaran is known for fresh seafood on the coast, it's also one of the best places to explore limestone cliffs and verdant rainforests. Elsewhere, Ubud boasts beautiful rolling hills and rice terraces, as well as ancient temples, majestic palaces and cultural craftsmanship.
