BALI, INDONESIA - The most attractive and popular beach


I went to this island in 2011 and I wish to share some of my experiences on this island. In Bali, the most famous is the luxurious coastline with fine sands and buzzing night life. While in Bali, there are few popular tourist destinations which you should not miss:-
DENPASAR, KUTA, LEGIAN, LOVINA, NUSA DUA, SEMINYAK, UBUD, TANAH LOT, ULUWATU, JIMBARA, AND OTHERS.

Denpasar
Is a capital of Bali where you can find many shops selling fabric and textiles.  Besides there are goldsmiths, banks,  hospitals,  tourist information centres, museum, etc. and the airport is located here. While at the museum be alerted  if you do not want any guide service. Those friendly faces at the museum are not  museum staff. If you use their services, you would end up paying  about 10,000 rupiah for their so-called services!!. Politely decline their services from the very beginning before entering the museum.

Kuta
Most of the luxury hotels are located here and there are also a spread of budget guesthouse within walking distance to the beach. Kuta has the best beach but the worst traffic. Some may find that this island is over developed and it is suitable for those who like busy night life. You can sunbath on the fine sand here!


Legian
Is slightly guieter then Kuta. For the sun seekers, this is an ideal place. One of the many reasons that people come to Bali is to get a taste of the surfing. So in Kuta and Legian, you can learn how to surf . Many professional operators has set up their shops over here.



Uluwatu
From Kuta to Uluwatu, it is just a short distance. You may take a taxi or motorbike to  Uluwatu to see a massive limestone jutting out from the sea. There you can visit temples and see beautiful sunset over the cliff. One of the Bali's most revered Hindu temples is Pura Luhur Uluwatu Temple. There you can visit temples and watch the nightly Kecak dance performance and beautiful sunset. Be careful of the CHEEKY wild monkeys stealing your sun glasses, hahaha.....





Tanah Lot
A must see temple! This temple itself  is perched on the rock surrounded by the Ocean. You just need to stand there and pose for a picture. The crowd in the morning is usually big — in the evening it's peak hour and be prepared for traffic jams if you are travelling to and from the temple. It is an ideal place to observe the setting of the sun behind the temple. It is also a busy place with masses of commercial shops selling fake branded items.


UBUD
Many of the best restaurants in Bali are located here. It is a destination where you can see local people participating in local cultural ceremonies . Many tourists will stroll through the surrounding rice fields and there are dance performances that take place nightly in Ubud and the nearby villages. Well, these beautiful performances are being performed specially for tourists.










JIMBARAOverall, Bali is an excellent place for outdoor activities from morning till night fall. This island is rich in their colourful culture and Hindu Temples. If you prefer beach side grilled seafood, then go to Jimbara. Jimbaran Bay is a popular seaside destination. At night, the beach comes alive with countless beach side seafood restaurants setting candlelit tables and chairs right on the sandy beach. It's indeed a lovely and refreshing experience to enjoy fresh seafood while your feet playing with the sand and at the same time being serenading by the soothing sound of waves lapping the shoreline. From here you can watch the planes fly in to land and take off in an endless stream; from morning till night while enjoying your leisure beach stroll.




KARMA KANDARA RESORT, UNGASAN, BALI

Sometimes we need to pamper ourselves when we go for holidays. We can choose from the budget to luxury vacations depending on our
budget. 

Here is my experience in Bali. I stay at my friend's Holiday Vacation Club in Karma Kandara Resort in Ungasan Bali. This villa is perched on the high cliff with stunning and spectacular view. To access the beach, you have to use cable car. You would then arrive at a private sandy beach with plenty of sunbeds. The water is crystal clear, refreshing and calm. The spa with rooms is located over the cliffs and the ever professional and dedicated staff will be there to pamper you.
I was in seventh heaven and it was indeed a fascinating experience for me!! :)   This is an isolated resort where you would be warmly greeted and welcomed by bunches of monkey from the forest, hehehe.... Having your own infinity pool in your own villa is indeed great and amazing. Everyday we would be served a basket of local fruits in the villa and oh, the treatment you received was beyond words. The staff here were very accommodating and polite. They would go all out to make your holiday as pleasant as possible and meet your requests with their ever generous, warm and sweetest SMILE!


The most amazing is the view from the restaurant to the ocean. What more with their marvelous swimming pool stunningly at the cliff top with refreshing breezing air while you enjoy your cocktails! How I wish I could go back for another heavenly vacation...........it's INDEED the most dreamy settings in the world... Perched out over a cliff !! 
Oh... This is what I should say... A Perfecttttt life!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like soaring high up in the sky, like a bird, free and happy!!!
