ABOUT Bali

The major destinations in southern Bali are Kuta, Tuban, Legian, Seminyak, Sanur, Nusa

Dua, Jimbaran, and Tanjung-Benoa - and their charm awaits you…

Bali lies between the islands of Java to the west, and Lom-bok to the east. It is fairly small, stretching 80 km from

north to south and roughly 145 km from west to east - with a total area of 5,653 square kilometers and population of 3.5 million. It is a province in the Republic of Indonesia with an elected Governor and a local parliamentary assembly. The pro-vincial capital is Denpasar, where most of the government of-fices are located in the Renon area. There are eight regencies found in Bali: Bangli, Buleleng, Bandung, Gianyar, Jembrana, Karangasam, Klungkung and Tabanan.There are a string of stunning volcanoes running from the east to the west of the island - with the still active Mount Agung,

having last erupted in 1963, being the largest. Bali’s Mother Temple, Besakih, sits on the slopes of this sacred volcano and is a sprawling complex of shrines and pavilions.

The Balinese have strong spiritual roots and are predominantly Agama Hindu Dharma - a unique blend of Indian Shivaite and Buddhist traditions - with older beliefs and practices originat-ing from the archipelagic world of Indonesia. Each Balinese Hindu must make a pilgrimage to Besakih Temple at least once during their lifetime. There are thousands of temples all over the island, which represent the meeting point of humans and gods. At temple anniversaries, the gods descend from the mountains to take their seats in the shrines where they will be welcomed with various offerings. Nobody misses an opportu-nity to worship God in an unending series of ceremonies that extend from birth to death and far beyond.

The climate on the island falls into two categories: the rainy and dry seasons. Dry season is generally from April to Octo-ber and is marked by southeasterly winds from the Australian interior. The rainy season lasts approximately from November until March, bringing northeasterly winds and sultry condi-tions. Rainfall varies across the island, from 120 inches on the slopes of sacred Mount Agung to less than 60 inches along the northern coast. Bali’s average annual temperature is 28 de-grees Celsius.

The southern coast of Bali is now home to the many expa-triates and numerous hotels and boutique hotels. The tourism boom that hit in the 70’s in a small fishing town called Kuta, has now spread, reaching from Nusa Dua up to and including Seminyak, which now has many world-class restaurants, spas, bars and boutiques.

The golden shores of southern Bali stretch to welcome the majority of visitors to the

Bali of today, largely due to the Ngurah Rai International Airport being situated in this area. The infrastructure includes a main ‘bypass’ connecting all the major tourist areas running from Nusa Dua through to Seminyak, and Sanur.

Bali oozes with artistic talent, as it is an island steeped in history and tradition.

One of the most exported crafts is Balinese painting - a delightful fusion of traditions of the Hindu-Javanese who came to Bali from east Java in the 14th - 15th centuries, and several western artists living in Bali during the fashionable 1920s & 30s. During those decades, a group

of artists known as the Pita Maha Group was formed in Campuan, Ubud to encourage the arts of the local community, led by Walter Spies and Rudolf Bonnet. Walter Spies’ home still exists today at the Tjampuan Hotel and is open to visitors. There are many different art forms found across the island. Here follows a brief description of each:

ArtABOUT Bali

MusicBalinese instrumental ensembles - better known as ‘gamelan’ - are well known throughout the world for their mystical, almost hypnotic sounds. Western Balinese practice music dominated by bamboo sounds, known as ‘jegog’ - whereas bronze gamelan (often seen), known as ‘pande gong,’ are only made by those from a particular ‘Pande’ family.

Wayang KulitThese shadow puppets play an important role in traditional entertainment. Having originated from Java, this theatrical form has been evolving on Bali over the past four hundred years, with its own unique puppets, music and rituals. The Indian epics of the Ramayana and Mahabharata provide most of the entertainment, and special ceremonies are held to bless these puppets within the Balinese lunar calendar

DanceDance holds the utmost importance within the history of Balinese society - ‘Gambuh’ being the oldest known dance drama on Bali - through to the more modern and popular version of this show, the ‘kecak.’

SculptureSculpture has changed little over time with regards to themes and iconography. Originally used to decorate temples and palaces, you can find almost no difference in the design from a sacred cave from centuries ago to what is carved above temple entrances of today. Once again however, the audience has demanded a growing trend for sculpture without religious themes - which the Balinese are aptly able to supply.

Most villages have at least three main temples with one facing the mountains,

one aligning with the sea, and one found in the village center. Aside from the communal village temples, almost each home has its own shrine where members of the family pray dai-ly. Gestures of prayer, which have become an iconic image associated with Bali, are hands at the level of the brow with fingers pointing upwards - indicating prayer to the gods and deified ancestors. Hands with fingers pointing down symbolize an invocation to the demons.

Between these two positions is human salu-tation - a brief touch to the heart area - often observed after shaking hands, and considered extremely polite. After prayers are offered, each worshipper is blessed with a sprinkling of holy water and an application of pressed rice to the forehead.

Offerings can be seen all over Bali, from the largest temples to street side pavements, of-ten outside boutiques - (one should take extra care to step around) - and play a significant

role in appeasing the gods. They are called ‘canang sari’ and made up of food, flowers, money, candy, and even cigarettes! After be-ing placed, blessed, and covered by an incense stick, they are left to the will of the gods. The Balinese believe that good spirits live in the mountains and that bad or evil spirits reside in the sea. They believe strongly in magic, and the power of the gods. The supreme god is being Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, or the ‘One Supreme Unknowable God’ - although offer-ings and prayers are not offered directly to this deity but to its many manifestations.

Festivals or ‘odalans’ are celebrations of the gods returning to the annual commemora-tions of the founding of their temples. Woman and men adorn their finest, usually colorful, clothes - woman looking stunning as they file with offerings balanced on their heads, and men carrying the beautiful parasols. The wor-shippers renew their ties with the various gods, reinforcing bonds together during the prepara-tions and ceremonies of these festivals. Tem-ple festivals vary from temple to temple - and as there happen to be so many, every visitor to Bali has the opportunity to witness at least one. They are specifically marked monthly on the Balinese lunar calendar - which if not available through Balinese friends or staff, can be purchased in most stores.

IMPORTANT INFO - Please note: it is im-polite to honk during traffic delays due to ceremonies - as is directly pointing a cam-era into a priest’s face.

16BALI HOTELS ASSOCIATION

There are temples for almost all as-pects of Balinese life - including

those for ancestors, rice fields, and villages - known as ‘Pura Desa’.

ABOUT Bali

Shopping on Bali is fun, especially when finding gifts for the people in our lives - giving retail therapy a heart-warming objective.

There are many places at which to indulge the urge to splurge - from boutique-lined

streets, to air-conditioned malls, to tradition-al Balinese markets. All are an experience for whichever your shopping taste prefers. There are several malls on Bali, each with a tremen-dous array of stores on several floors, ranging from lingerie to pots and pans, children’s toys to the latest technology, make up and fash-ion to traditional artifacts. Malls are actually a popular shopping destination amongst the locals, as they offer comfortable surroundings to wander around - whether window shopping or actually purchasing - away from the harsh heat of the tropical sun.

Air-conditioned and artificially lit, most malls around Bali are open from 10am until late into the evening. The most notable of these are Bali Mall Galeria, near the large Simpang Siur roundabout on the Kuta Bypass; Discov-ery Mall, locally known as ‘Centro’ due to the

Although the Balinese themselves do not hold drinking or the same kind of revel-

ry as part of their social scene, they are once again famously tolerant in allowing a selec-tion of bars and nightclubs to emerge for visi-tors’ nocturnal entertainment.

Kuta was the original spot for nightlife en-tertainment - and although today it is not the only spot one would head out to after sun-down, it still holds its place for fast- paced action. All along the central strip of Jl. Le-gian, there are many bars and nightclubs from which to choose. Most of these cater to the younger generation of partiers in their twen-ties and early 30’s - with the Bounty Bar be-ing an institution, and newer arrivals such as The Sky Bar firmly nestling themselves into a heaving pulse of activity. Along this stretch

department store sprawling the second floor, situated next to the Discovery Hotel in front of Waterbom Park & Spa on Jl. Kartika Plaza; and also Lippo Mall on the same street. Next to Bali’s famous Kuta Beach, Beachwalk has been gaining popularity since its opening in 2012 as an entertainment and lifestyle hub, housing over 200 retail stores, eateries and a premium cinema. There are also the recently opened Lippo Plaza Sunset, French ‘Hyper-market,’ and ‘Carrefour’ on the Sunset Road bypass - although which taking over the com-plete top floor, also has various boutiques, hairdressers, and businesses from the ground floor up. Over in Nusa Dua is the Sogo De-partment Store – which may be a little pricier, but offers a slightly more upper range selec-tion of labels.

of Bali, one can never tell which night of the week it may be, as each rolls into the next - equally bustling with cheap drinks and loud music keeping the parties going into the early hours of each morning.

There are some more demure places for those who want a little more peace and quiet - but generally due to the one-way traffic system, it is best to head out to the Seminyak area. Be-fore doing so, the street running adjacent to Kuta Beach, Jl. Pantai Kuta, has a great selec-tion of clubs and bars to check out - notably the Hard Rock Café & Hotel. Over in Semin-yak on Jl. Petitenget, Potato Head Beach Club often has world-class guests and amazing stage stopping shows right on the beach.

Over the last decade, Bali has emerged as a vibrant lifestyle island and placed itself firmly

on the jetsetters map – and surely enough, its nightlife scene has certainly taken off.

KUTA Area

If you wish to wander the streets and view the many boutiques the island has

to offer, Kuta would be an ideal place to begin. Many stores have recently undergone major transformation. Long gone are the open-front, family-run market-style shops reminiscent of Bali of the 70s - replaced with glass fronted, air-conditioned music-filled boutiques featuring cutting-edge designs and world-class merchandise - but, at Bali prices. As most boutiques are a front for the designers that reside and produce here, you may find many brand names or unique finds at incredible prices!

Commencing from Kuta – where it is easy to get around on foot - you can follow the main Jl. Kartika Plaza onto Jl. Raya Legian, leading to smaller lanes such as Poppies I & II - which only motorbikes may enter, and have a pleasant variety of shopping and culinary experiences to discover - twisting around onto Jalan Pantai Kuta. On these streets in the busiest part of southern Bali, the hardened shopper can find clothing, shoes, bags, hats, and a plethora of accessories - as well as jewelry, designer duds, gems stones and crystals, home wares, furniture, lighting – actually everything that the credit card might desire!

This once fishing village played a big role in the tourism boom of the 70s and today, still, is a bustling central loca-tion filled with shops, restaurants, clubs, bars, hotels, and many tourist attractions. Kuta Beach is famous for its

surf - although it is not recommended for swimming due to the strong riptides.

KUTA Area

The majority of ‘international’ restaurants can be found along the coast from Kuta

through to Legian, and the fashionable Seminyak – home to an area fondly referred to as ‘Eat Street,’ where a large amount of dining establishments run side-by-side. Several hotels also offer top-of-the-line cuisine, with international chefs and invited chefs and sommeliers popping in to entertain on chosen evenings.

‘Warung’ is the local name for the street side stalls or small restaurants where many Indonesians eat. Common local dishes include ‘nasi goreng’ (fried rice, usually with vegetables, seafood and/or chicken), ‘nasi campur’ (white rice with a mixed selection of various side dishes of meats, vegetables and tofu). ‘Sop buntut’ is the name for the delicious ‘oxtail soup.’ And be sure to try a

Seafood is also a must, as the daily fresh local catches served in a variety of styles are superb. There are many places to enjoy fresh seafood, especially along Kartika Plaza Street in Kuta, or on the beach at Jimbaran Bay.

Selamat Makan (enjoy your meal)!

There are many hotels found on the main street of Tuban, Jl. Kartika Plaza -which

now also has one of the biggest and most complex malls in southern Bali, Discovery Mall, across from the award-winning Waterbom Water Park & Spa, which offers a perfect day out for all the family.

Many family-friendly restaurants can be found on this vibrant strip of road, including an excellent variety of well-known international

fast-food brands. Bubba Gump is a popular eatery for family members of all ages, as are the numerous sports bars and restaurants showing various live sports coverage on large screens - often simultaneously - where children are welcome. On special event days of the year, such as Melbourne Cup or sports finals, there may even be themed parties or events being held.

Many of the hotels along the beach-side stretch of Tuban - from the quieter Ma Jolie, all the way up to and including Kuta Paradiso Hotel - have lovely beachfront bars and restaurants,

which are a great place to watch life go by or catch the legendary sunsets over a Bintang (the local Pilsner beer) or two. The hotel kids clubs in many of these give mom and dad a break from the younger members of the family, within safe surroundings looked after by the kind Indonesian staff, especially gifted at looking after children. Don’t be surprised if when you’re out, staff lovingly carries your children off – it is all in a very kind way and from a genuine fondness for children. Many of these hotels also offer a list of sports and beach activities - some complimentary and some with a small rate applied – and a few

providing gyms and tennis courts. All have world-class spas with amazing menus of treatments, starting from 30 minutes to full-day packages if so desired, at rates that are hardly believable.

Tuban has some fabulous older-style, locally-owned shops resembling market stalls in the simplicity of their set up and lay out, to be found on the streets that run off the main Jalan Kartika Plaza - where those who love to ‘shop until they drop’ will be delighted. From handcrafts to clothes and shoes, it is here that you can barter and feel that you’re getting a real bargain. On the Tuban streets towards the airport, there are many local restaurants very well-known amongst the Indonesians on the island for their delicious authenticity - notably the Chinese and Javanese warung-style eateries. These areas are busy, and very basic, so be prepared to eat without air-conditioning - but at prices that are unbelievable.

stretch of the beach are foreign owned, but locally run. Due in part to this fusion, there is a great choice of culinary diversions from which to choose - allowing you to travel the world over by plate, all while gazing at an amazing sunset. Beachside, surfing is popular - with surf schools to help those in need - as well as volleyball, Frisbee and racquetball. For a slower pace, many people choose to walk the length of the perfect flat sand shore, uninterrupted for kilometers in either direction.

Following the path down past Cocoon Beach Club towards Seminyak, there is a recently-made walkway right on the sand, with many beach cafes and bars inviting customers in for cool drinks and light meals during the day - and often live music or even parties until late night time. There are sun-beds set up on the beaches for hire in front of various eateries, and surf or boogie boards to rent for the more energetic. This pleasant path finishes at the legendary Chez Gado-Gado, which was one of the first night clubs on Bali when it first opened over two decades ago, and is today a stunning restaurant welcoming all members of the family with views straight out onto the Indian Ocean.

Following the road up from where the path ends, you will come across many bars and clubs closed during daytime, but vibrant and busy from about 9pm onwards. This is Jalan Dhyana Pura, where all walks of life converge and many adult cabaret-type shows can be found in certain bars (not for families), and you can really let your hair down until the early hours of the morning.

SEMINYAK Area

The beach in Seminyak is much more peaceful than Kuta or Legian, and many of the top-end and boutique hotels are found in this area - as well as some amazing private expatriate homes. It is for this very reason that it has the most expensive real estate of the island - now with very little land left to develop.

This is the place to relax and chill, but with a higher budget in mind. There is virtually no backpacker accommodation in this area.

seminyAK

This area has the most upscale market of the southern tourist stretch - and is somewhat more

relaxed - where visitors, locals and expatriates happily mix.

World-class boutiques, restaurants, bars and clubs make this a place to be seen - and when night falls, it is Jalan Laksmana, also known as Eat Street, that attracts the crowds looking for varied cuisine. The bars are more sophisticated – with the legendary beachfront Ku De Ta (also a fabulous spot for brunch), Hu’u Bar, Mantra, MINT, and Potato Head for the expatriates on weekends – and the recently opened Townhouse making its mark with stage-stopping shows featuring international DJ’s and acts.

There are many restaurants all around, with the Australian style bistros definitely gaining in popularity during the day - where expatriates and visitors in-the-know hang out, drink European style coffees, and log on. Of these,

are notably Grocer And Grind and Petitenget – which can be packed during breakfast through to, and after, lunch time. The more scenic, but pricier, places right on the beachfront are Ku De Ta, La Luciola, Potato Head, and W Resort (whose Sunday brunches in Starfish Bloo are now booked up to a month in advance). Whatever you may choose to eat, Seminyak is in-the-most-part family-friendly and has it all - from Thai to Turkish, from Mexican to of course Indonesian… be inspired!

Boutiques are numerous and fabulous, with expatriate designers housing their brands and creations all along the main streets of this area: Magali Pascal, Lily Jean, Miss Milne, Paul Ropp, Nico Perez, and Vivacqua are but just a few of too many to mention. You will

Bali has literally hundreds of spas - an industry that has rapidly risen in the last 10

years due to the natural herbs and perfumes found indigenously to the archipelago, as well as a tribute to the warm hospitality and talent of the Balinese masseuses. It is one thing you must do before leaving.

In Seminyak, there are several well-established bars becoming

nightclubs. Ku De Ta is right on the beach and serves great sundowner cocktails to DJ sounds, running through the evening, often with weekend the-matic parties in high season. Over at Townhouse and Hu’u (pronounced ‘who’, after an island in the Indonesian archipelago) across the road from here - as well as Potato Head and Mantra further along the same street - dinner turns into drinks and merriment from around 10:30 – 11pm. All are full of an expatriate crowd - especially on Friday and Saturday nights, rocking the week-ends with great drinks and DJs until the wee hours of the morn.

Spas are a big part of tourism on the island

today, and Seminyak has many on offer - as do all the other areas mentioned in this guide - within hotels and free standing as day spas.

The Indonesians have many rituals which have been adapted to what tourists call ‘spas’, that originally came from certain practices - one, for example: the preparation of bride and groom for their wedding night through scrub, massage and fragrant bathing. A ‘boreh’ - a type of body scrub - was initially used to scrub and warm the body and rid it of toxins after a hard day’s work in the paddy fields. As Indonesia has so many herbs, flowers and spices, many of the natural ingredients used in spas have been passed down through generations for their genuine therapeutic properties. Whichever you choose, you can be assured of a deeply relaxing experience.

Situated on the eastern tip of the Bukit peninsular, Nusa Dua is made up of many well-known brand hotels. Supremely secure and peaceful, the guest facilities are second to none, and

many of the visitors here seldom leave the vicinity - except perhaps for guided tours by coach or organized shuttle busses.

The beach in this area is particularly stunning, with spectacular low tides, complete with a 5 km promenade which snakes around the various resorts and is shaded in parts. The now annual ‘professional woman’s’ tennis tour’ has put this particular area on the international map, as has the Nusa Dua Festival held sometime in the last quarter of each year.

Bali Nusa Dua Theatre is the premiere setting to showcase Bali and Nusantara’s rich and diverse cultures with stunning illusion, dazzling costumes, uniquely artistic contemporary cultural dances, and heart-stopping aerial acrobatic performances in a 90-minute mega production called Devdan, which is played daily.

Also known as Benoa, this peninsula juts north from Nusa Dua. If Nusa Dua offers water sports (and it does), then Tanjung-Benoa has become

the waters sports playground. Bali is well-known for its surf break, with some well-known

faces (world champion Kelly Slater, for example) often spotted on its fab-ulous beaches.

There are some challenging breaks found on the ‘Bukit’ (hill) peninsula just ten

minutes away from Nusa Dua, which is a cliffy area following the road further south from Jimbaran. The white sandy beaches are superb in this area - the more notable being Balangan, Bingin (also called Impossibles amongst the surf community), Dreamland, Padang-Padang (which has a big offshore surf break) and the

The boats once used for fishing have found a more lucrative pastime in ferrying divers and snorkelers to and from their business, as well as more leisurely scenic tours and sometimes early-morning fishing adventures.

It is here that you can rent jet skis, try wake-barding, snorkeling, para sailing, wind surfing, canoeing – in fact, you name it, and it can most definitely be arranged.

The main street through Tanjung-Benoa has all the resorts and hotels running shore-side to the right, with restaurants, boutiques, spas and even mini-marts to the left. Many of the up-market resorts have their own chapels and cater to weddings or renewal of marriage vows, with spectacular celebrations following in unforgettable surroundings.

For something a little different, you can even attend a cooking class, learning how to cook authentic Balinese cuisine at the well-established Bumbu Bali - or, improve your massage technique with a class at Jari Menari (aptly translated to ‘Dancing Fingers’). There is something for the whole family in this area, so don’t forget your sunscreen - and get active!

Great drinks and nibbles set to the backdrop of one of Bali’s most outstanding beaches are guaranteed to make the day memorable.

more-secluded Suluban Beach, also known as Blue Point Beach with its rolling surf. Most of these beaches have informal warungs or locals selling drinks, and even massages, on offer. If golf is your game, then the New Kuta Golf Course - also found on the Bukit peninsula – built atop on the cliffs above Dreamland Beach is as breathtaking as they come (and perhaps slightly challenging, with the on-shore breeze to contend with on certain holes). Next to this impressive course is the Pecatu Graha complex of restaurants and accommodation, with the Klapa Lounge a decent place to stop off for lunch and refreshments for the whole family - complete with a good-sized horizon swimming pool for those who might like to cool off with a quick dip.

The Ayana Resort has its own Chapels (two of them) and hosts a staggering amount of weddings per year with brides and grooms from all over the world. There is also the Tirtha Group on the Uluwatu side of the peninsula, which can host and tailor-make any wedding to any request. In all, weddings are hugely celebrated in the many resorts and hotels - with the great attention to detail, grace and beauty that the Balinese have been famous for over decades.

Drinks are also simple - but the local Balinese wine label, which has vastly improved over the years, is now an added menu choice.

The main street through Jimbaran still has quite a local-feeling with Indonesians going about their daily business, and has a traditional market with a warm and friendly buzz several times a week. There are western boutiques and restaurants interspersed along this road for those who want to venture out of their resort. Most have everything the traveller could wish for, although not as many as the

Kuta – Tuban – Legian - Seminyak areas offer - but on the plus side, Jimbaran is peaceful, more traditional and calm.

The Garuda Wisnu Kencana further up on the Bukit is a cultural park set on 240 hectares with many concerts, exhibitions and shows being held in its amphitheater, exhibition hall and street theatre. The Uluwatu Temple is perched on a stunning cliff to about 75 metres above the vast Indian Ocean, and is particularly impressive at sunset - where there are ‘Kecak’ Dances on display most days for a minimal fee.

The Jenggala ceramic showroom and factory on the main road to

Jimbaran, Jalan Uluwatu, has a ‘paint a pot’ area just off its health restaurant where children (and adults if they so desire) can bring out the Picasso in-side to hand-paint a piece of pottery of their choice.

MAP - Sanur Area

Often overlooked by tourists as it is somewhat hidden off the usual tourism tracks, the

Sindhu Beach area is extremely popular with the local Balinese and Indonesian families, found at the northern end of Sanur.

Accessed by a pleasant stretch of road that ends in a cul de sac, traffic is gentle and monitored by helpful and kindly parking attendants. There is a walkway along the beach to the right, which starts off the Sanur beachfront cycling path for 5 kilometres.

A must-visit local restaurant is Mak Beng, which was established in 1941 and family owned, never having passed hands. Open-aired and very local, it is packed everyday at lunch time with queues into the street hungry for the fish head soup. After lunch, perhaps take a leisurely stroll down to the Art Market, where stalls sell local art and crafts at bargain prices - but be prepared to haggle to get a bargain – all with smile, which will get you a long way.

The famous Le Mayeur Museum, accessed from here, was the actual house of the talented painter and his beautiful Balinese dancer wife, which allows a real glimpse into how people lived in the past!

Sea sports are extremely popular on this side of the island, and visitors can choose from a vast array: diving, snorkeling, parasailing, surfing, canoeing, windsurfing, water skiing and wake boarding, to name but a few. Most of the major hotels can cater to all tastes - or there are many independently run outlets willing to rent at reasonable prices.

The nightlife in Sanur cannot compete with that of the south - but nonetheless, there are many decent bars and restaurants to suit most budgets, and the locals and expatriates

who run these establishments are always welcoming and friendly.

with traffic...

However, worth visiting is the Bali Museum with its charming grounds - as well as the Puputan Square and

Puputan Park with their eight entrances in honor of Bali’s history struggling against Dutch colonial rule. The Taman Budaya (Bali Art Center) can accommodate an impressive 6,000 visitors and plays host to the annual Bali Arts Festival each June - the cultural event of the year in Denpasar.

The shopping in Denpasar is very, busy but also offers very good value. Jalan Gajah Mada is famous all over the island for its numerous textile and fabric shops, where many in the production business on Bali buy their wares. The traditional market, mostly enclosed inside a building and spilling outside, is a daily spectacle of color and noise - full of everything, but mainly featuring a plethora of in-season fruit, barrels of flower petals, ceremonial items, food halls of meat, fish and vegetables, clothing, and even gold and jewelry on the top floor – being made right in front of your very eyes. The market opens at around 3 am (when many buy the freshest produce) and closes at 5pm.

AmedThis once serene fishing and salt harvesting village has taken off in recent times, due to its stunning views of Gunung Agung. Once a cheap getaway, Amed now offers a good se-lection of up-market accommodation and var-ious quality restaurants from which to choose.

Mount AgungTowering at 3143m, Mount Agung is one of Indonesia’s highest volcanoes and Bali’s highest stratovolcano. Its physical and spiri-tual presence is constantly felt throughout the island in all manners of day-to-day rituals. For those wishing to climb - the ascent takes around five hours or more from the Mother Temple, Besakih. A guide IS required, though the most spectacular view at the summit is a wonderful reward.

PeliatanThis once small village, now merged with southern Ubud, is famous for its dancers. Here is a great place to catch a dance performance - especially along with the village’s all-female gamelan orchestra

Goa GajahLiterally translated, ‘elephant cave,’ is reputed to have been built for Hindu and Buddhist priests in the 11th century. Reasonably close to Ubud on a main road, it has become a popular tourist attraction. The entrance, dramatically shaped into the giant mouth of a demon, is a particular favorite of many and often photographed.

The north unquestionably retains its Balinese traditional heri-

tage, even though it was here that the Dutch established their capital. Lovina remains the main tourist at-traction on this northern coastline, which was once a budget travelers dream - while now catering to a va-riety of budgets. Gunung Batur, in the northeast area of Bali, is very popular with visitors, both local and foreign, as its breathtaking caldera houses a stunningly beautiful lake.

BesakihThis is the Mother Temple of Bali that all Hindu practicing Balinese must visit at least once in their life. A sprawling mass of tem-ples (22 in total) and shrines, it is situated at approximately 1,000m up the slopes of sacred Gunung Agung.

Banjar Tega Hot springsIf possible, these hot springs are best visited during the week, as they are full of both locals and visitors come the weekend. They are well kept, and even provide changing rooms. Close by are a variety of shops and warungs from where to get snacks and drinks.

on a bike and drive! The best way to be pleasantly surprised, away from the tourist hubs, is to drive (or be driven). Bali isn’t a very big island, so really how lost can you get? But, at least you’ll have a story or two to tell

Central Bali is a must see for the visitors staying ‘down south’, as it is a chance to get out of the hustle and bustle and encounter ‘real’ Bali, stunning lakes, paddy fields and a whole gentler existence, much less touched by the

globalization witnessed in the touristy areas. West Bali is rarely visited north of Tanah Lot, although it has some amazing scenery, its infrastructure is not quite in place as well as having a low population density.

Pura Tirta EmpulThe holy springs found at this temple and spring complex have been used by the Balinese since the 10th century for a wide variety of ceremonies and are said to contain the spirit of immortality after its creation by the God Indra. A must-see for those interested in experiencing some of Bali’s true culture, it can be reached off the main Kintamani-Tampaksari Road.

Lake Bratan1,200 m above sea level, this lake is centered in the crater of an ancient volcano. It is a popular attraction amongst locals and tourists alike, due to the cool temperature and picturesque scenery – surely including the frequently

photographed Pura Ulun Danu Bratan Temple on the lake’s shoreline. There is a marvelous golf club nearby - Bali Handara Kosaido Country Club - or, if feeling energetic, a climb up Gunung Catur will lead to a small temple.

Bali Botanical GardensThese superb and surprisingly cooler gardens, established in 1959, are found off the main road heading towards Bedugul, and are home to more than 300 orchids, which flourish with the climate. There is a small fee to enter, and all the family can enjoy this as a day out, including an entertainment activity called ‘Tree Tops’ to test your Tarzan or Jane skills!

Bali Barat Taman NationalCovering an area of over 750sq km, Bali Barat Taman National - the name for Bali’s West Bali National Park – is home to several walking trails, many of which do require a park guide. Off the park is a tiny island called Pulau (island) Menjangan that can be easily reached by boat - an excellent spot for snorkeling, with calm seas making diving comfortable for beginners.
