<< BALI, INDONESIA
Bali is by far the most popular tourist destination in Indonesia and has always been a popular favourite for Australians and especially those keen on surfing. The island is also a main destination for Japanese, Korean and European tourists. With four million people, Bali is the only Hindu society in Southeast Asia.
It’s an island where luxury beach resorts touch base with historic Hindu temples, towering volcanoes and undulating rice terraces. It is
a visual treat for tourists who love exotic culture and those who know how to have fun.
The sprawling south coast beach areas of Kuta, Legian and Seminyak are the most popular bases for Bali’s three million annual visitors and are the main surfing beaches.
Kuta offers a vibrant beach
life and stunning ocean sunsets along with hundreds of bars, restaurants and late night clubs. Slightly further north of Legian is Seminyak, home to chic bars, classy boutique shopping, French patisseries and fine dining restaurants. Virtually free of street hawkers Seminyak’s sophisticated atmosphere and relaxed pace of life make it ideal for a family beach holiday.
Bali’s capital city and administrative centre is Denpasar, located in the south of the island close to the beach resorts of Kuta and Sanur. It is a small bustling city with excellent shopping.
