Find The Best Accommodation To Stay For A Idyllic Getaway To Bali
Bali is one of the best destinations for a romantic vacation. So where are the spot to stay for a romantic weekend getaway to Bali. Bali's southern peninsula is where you find nearly all of the island's international 4 and 5-star Bali Hotels and Resorts - set in Nusa Dua's manicured and not very Balinese garden surroundings. Set beside a charming beach with shallow water, no high waves. Ideal for all kinds of sea activities. Nusa Dua Galleria center with a collection of rather upmarket restaurants, shops, and department stores. Some more cheaper restaurants are located in nearby Tanjung Benoa and Bualu village. Unfortunately, there is no night life of note.
An increasing number of private villas is being built on the hill South of the airport. Many of these villas offer spectacular scenes of the sea, Kuta, Denpasar, Sanur and Bali's mountains. The climate is much cooler and much drier - even if it rains in most parts of Bali, you can expect many sunshiny days here.
Jimbaran Beach is plausibly Bali's top beach with good hotels and accommodation: almost white sand, waves not too high for swimming, wind surfing, and sailing; not too many tourists, and no beach vendors. A few up-market hotels and resorts, and a rapidly increasing number of simple but good seafood restaurants right on the water front. Highly recommended for watching Bali's famed sunsets.
Kuta Beach and Legian is a jammed beach with many vendors, masseuses and beach boys. The sea is rough with large waves and strong currents. The beach is lined by many hotels and resorts, mostly in the 2- to 4-star categories. Kuta and Legian are the centers of Bali's night life with a great number of restaurants, pubs, open bars, discos, and all sorts of supermarkets, department stores and shops selling casual wear and beach fashions, antiques, handicrafts and keep sake. Daily traffic jams and many, sometimes quite resolute hawkers have made this rather ugly part of Bali a nightmare for many tourists. Recommended if you are looking for action or just for a night out, but certainly not for a family vacation or romantic weekend getaway to Bali Island.
Until recently, the West Coast of Bali used to be a rather rustic, mostly residential area, stretching a few miles north from Legian. Decent, off-white, sandy beach with strong waves and some strong currents, and getting less congested the further you move to the North. Rapidly increasing number of hotels and villas, good but reasonably priced restaurants and Bali's most enthralling pubs and discos as well as shops marketing casual clothing, furniture, antiques, decorative items and handicrafts.
Recommended for travellers who want to be somewhat away from the tourist crowds but appreciate the easy reach to the restaurants and shops of Seminyak, Legian, and Kuta. Accessibility to other areas of the island is equally good as you do not have to move through busy Kuta. Between Seminyak and Batubelig, and in the smashing, still rural area stretching further North to Canggu and up to Tanah Lot you will also find some of Bali's most handsome vacation villas. These are just some of the suggestions on where to stay for a romantic weekend getaway to Bali.
