Ubud

There is no argument that for anything ‘spiritual’, Ubud is the place. Whether for meditation, yoga, ‘spiritual healing’ or even traditional medical therapies, some tourists stay nowhere else on Bali – and never leave! The lofty village of Penestanan (part of Ubud) is dotted with yoga shalas (studios) offering casual drop-in or private classes, and even training courses, while some resorts nestled in the jungle nearby offer one- or two-week ‘rejuvenation’ packages. In town, numerous cafés cater to the health-conscious with organic food and drinks made from locally-grown products.

distance from airport:

1+ hour.

Closest Attractions:

Sacred Monkey Forest , Campuhan Ridge Walk, Tegallalang Rice Terrace and more.

Activities around:

Cultural shops, Yoga Barn, photo stops, traditional dance, forest swings.

Sanur

Sanur is a good middle ground between quiet beaches and noisy nightlife. You can get a good balance here as well as a great base to take day tours from as it is easily accessible away from crowds and noise. The beach is protected by a reef making it a great spot for families. With plenty of accommodation as well as bars and restaurants which aren’t exclusive to resorts you don’t have to spend a small fortune here.

distance from airport:

25 minutes.

Closest Attractions:

Sanur beach, Dolphin interactions, Bajra Sandhi Monument, Barong & Kris Dance, Nusa Penida, and more.

Activities around:

Swimming and surfing, shopping Malls, traditional dance, scuba diving, night life.

Kuta, Seminyak and Canggu

Some visit Bali just for Kuta’s nightlife. Among typically seedy (but lively) options are multi-story nightclubs along Jalan Legian street with international DJs and numerous sports bars, each fiercely competing with ‘cocktail specials’, ‘free BBQ’ and ‘girls drink for free’. A quick ride to the north, Seminyak offers a more sophisticated blend of live jazz, soul and R&B , while further north again in Canggu the décor and prices in clubs are comparable to those in Europe. Kuta region may look overwhelming for some first-time visitors because of The crowds and noise but Kuta is not remotely representative of Bali.

distance from airport:

15 minutes.

Closest Attractions:

Kuta beach walk, Legian Beach, Nusa dua , and more.

Activities around:

Swimming, watersports and surfing, shopping Malls, traditional dance, night life.

Nusa Dua

The dozen or so upmarket resorts in Nusa Dua are all family-friendly, each with a children’s pool (often with water slides) and kid’s club offering engaging activities all day, as well as extensive children’s menus in the restaurants and child-minding services. All resorts also feature massive gardens and almost all face an exquisite beach with calm waters, while Nusa Dua itself is clean, quiet and devoid of crowds and traffic. Just north, the resort region of Tanjung Benoa is a more affordable version of Nusa Dua, and is probably more appealing to teenagers because of its extensive range of inexpensive water sports.

distance from airport:

5 minutes.

Closest Attractions:

Nusa dua beach , Blue Point Beach, Jimbaran Beach , Uluwatu Temple Kecak & Fire Dance, and more.

Activities around:

Swimming, watersports and surfing, shopping Malls, traditional dance, night life.

Amed and tulamben

Amed has the ultimately sleepy town vibe to it. Think black sands, plenty of dive spots and small huts to kip in and you get the picture. Music nights are shack like bars, dust roads that kids play on and plenty of pop up hammocks.
