For many travellers, the key to an amazing holiday is a place that is both enjoyable as well as relaxing. Whether it’s a hike up a jungle trail to look for hidden natural wonders or dive the deepest reaches of the ocean for a peek of Mother Nature’s wonderful creations, travellers in this modern age are spoilt for choice. Some informed travellers, however, make specific holiday destinations as their dream holiday. For them, a destination that offers adventure, excitement and relaxation is at the top of the list. One such place, located in the archipelago of Indonesia, is the tiny island of Bali. But don’t be fooled by the seemingly small size that is Bali. Bali offers many exciting activities, almost guaranteeing that any traveller would make many subsequent trips back! With its white, sandy beaches, exciting nightlife and an active volcano, there is definitely something for everyone in Bali.

People say a trip to Bali is never complete without visiting the famous beaches and experiencing the electrifying nightlife of Kuta, a town located on the southern reaches of the island. Many travellers plan their holiday in Kuta Bali ...
... first before moving on to either other parts of Indonesia or other parts of Bali Island. For many making their first trip to Indonesia, starting off their holiday in Kuta Bali will be an excellent choice. Because of the myriad mix of travellers from all parts of the globe, Bali fuses the best between East and West making a trip to this holiday island both exotic yet familiar. First thing any traveller would notice is the hospitality of the locals in Bali. Friendly and warm, these locals make each traveller feel at home while introducing the many rich cultural aspects of Bali’s history.

With Kuta being the ideal destination from tourists from all over the world, many hotels, resorts and private villas are readily available, with more on the way! From backpackers to classy travellers and newlyweds to large families, travellers are spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing the right accommodation in Kuta. Activities-wise, Kuta offers an excellent place to learn surfing! Beginners looking to pick up surfing may do well here in Kuta because of its long beaches, free from dangerous rocks and corals. There are surf schools and private “tutors” along the beach for anyone who is looking to experience surfing. For those looking for a shopping experience in Bali, Kuta is the best bet. Catering to high volume of travellers, the shopping malls here offer top international brands at bargain prices, not found in other areas of Bali. When the sun has set, bring yourself to Jalan Legian and experience the party zone of Bali, even die-hard party animals would approve!

To many, travelling means to explore and see new things. After experiencing what Kuta has to offer, it begs the question: what’s next? Well, Indonesia has many, many more things to offer to travellers. A holiday in Indonesia could mean visiting the many easily accessible active volcano sites such as in East Java or Bali’s neighbouring island, Lombok. Tour groups are easily arranged through hotels and resorts but some do prefer trekking separately from groups to enjoy some of the scenic views these sites have to offer. For dive enthusiast, the group of island called Wakatobi, has got to be THE travel destination. Known throughout the world as one of the best dive sites, Wakatobi offers an eye-opening insight to the diverse marine life, untouched by development. Travellers seeking to experience a little bit of history and culture would find Indonesia’s rich cultural heritage an interesting draw. Some of the world’s oldest temples and monuments are found in Indonesia and most are so well preserved that travellers would find it hard to believe that it was built hundreds of years ago!

Should travelling to other parts of Indonesia be slightly overwhelming, travellers can choose to stay in Bali but explore places out of Kuta. Travellers looking to break away from the high energy atmosphere that is Kuta would find a short holiday in Legian Bali a comforting change of environment. Enjoy the peace and serenity Legian beach has to offer as you lay on the soft sand while watching a beautiful sunset. Beginner surfers who find Kuta slightly intimidating will find that Legian offers the same tides and surfs, minus the crowd. Lessons are easily available and you can polish your skills before hitting the “big wave”.
