Bali Hotels

Holidays to Bali offer visitors a unique blend of rich culture and outstanding natural beauty combined with exciting nightlife and wonderful shopping. Bali's long stretches of white-sand beaches will delight sun-lovers and the clear lagoons along the south of the island are perfect for scuba diving. Kuta Beach attracts surfers from all over the world and its waterfront is scattered with the more lively bars and discos of Bali.

Take time to enjoy a tour of Bali on your holiday, for adventure seekers white-water raft down the Ayung River or head off on a jeep safari.

And not to be missed is the spectacular sunsets from Bali's famous Tanah Lot Temple, built on a huge rock outcrop in the sea.

The markets at Kuta and Sanur are great for unusual gifts and local handicrafts, but it is the bohemian resort of Ubud, where you can find the best of Bali's holiday souvenirs with stone and woodcarvings, silks, and batik paintings.
