Exotic Candlelit Dinner at Jimbaran

Image
Jimbaran is a fishing village and tourist resort in Kuta South District, Bali, located on Bali's southwestern coast of the narrow isthmus connecting the Bali mainland and the Bukit Peninsula, offers small secluded areas, where tranquility and peace are the perfect antidote to a stressful world. Jimbaran was formerly a real backwater of south Bali, just a tiny fishing village with a daily market. Jimbaran is now home to several world class 5 star beach resorts, plus a few more moderate mid-market hotels. Jimbaran has an increasing number of rather chic shops but there is little or no nightlife here. It has the advantage of being a little closer to Kuta and Seminyak and the cultural highlights of Central Bali. Nightlife is limited in Jimbaran, and most venues close after 11pm. A traditional fish market is located at the northern end of the bay right by the beach at the junction with Jalan Tukad Ayung. The catch comes in every morning here and customers include most of Bali...

This temple is so incredible, standing on a cliff above the Indian Ocean, a mind blowing sight. Uluwatu is known as a great place to surf and spend time at the beach. The Uluwatu temple is dedicated to Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa in his manifestation as Rudra.Though a small temple was claimed to have existed earlier, the structure was significantly expanded by a Javanese sage, Empu Kuturan in the 11th Century. Another sage from East Java, Dang Hyang Nirartha is credited for constructing the padmasana shrines and it is said that he attained moksha here, an event called ngeluhur ("to go up") locally. This has resulted in the temple's epithet Luhur. The Uluwatu temple is inhabi...

Nusa Dua Beach, Bali

Image
Nusa Dua is really about enjoying your leisure time in total luxury. Situated  40 Km from Denpasar, capital of Bali province, or some 20-30 minutes drive from the vibrant Kuta Beach, lies Bali’s most artfully designed high class beach resort along a vast stretch of picturesque coastline. The beaches in Nusa Dua are also noted to be the most secluded, being situated in a luxury enclave of five-star hotels. The beaches are definitely not to be missed and if you are already staying at a resort that has its own beach area, you can have more privacy and greater facilities for your day in the sun. The shore in Nusa Dua is mostly crowded with locals and you’ll see food vendors either walking around or stationed at their bamboo stalls. It is covered with white-golden sand and cleaner than the beaches at Kuta or Seminyak. There is also a jogging and bicycle path with an information map of the area. Tides and currents are not dangerous here but you’ll encounter stronger cur...

Sanur, the dream beach vacation in Bali

Image
Sanur (pronounced "sah-noor") is a coastal stretch of beach of Denpasar city of southeast Bali, just about 30 minutes drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport. Sanur is a slightly upmarket sea, sun and sand alternative to Kuta. The white-sand beach is sheltered by a reef. The resulting low-key surf contributes to Sanur’s nickname ‘ Snore ’, although this is also attributable to the area’s status as a haven for expat retirees. The beaches of Sanur are truly idyllic, the realization of all those daydreams about Bali beach vacations. More laid-back than neighboring vacation destinations, Sanur is the type of place where hip Europeans who have outgrown the party scene come to recharge. Every year, the endless blue skies are peppered with flecks of vibrant color during the International Kite Festival. Sanur was one of the places favoured by Westerners during their prewar discovery of Bali. Today Sanur contains a number of hotel resorts and also home to a growing numb...
