Bali, The Paradise Island
Magical and Inspired, a diamond shaped island (140 km by 80 km) of spectacular volcanic mountains and lakes, enchanting rice terraces, ancient temples and palaces, surrounded by sparkling coral seas, Bali is alight with cultures and traditions.
Bali lies in the chain of islands directly between Java to the west and Lombok to the east. There are direct international flights to Denpasar - Bali International Airport. The airport is located just south of Kuta and is served with daily flights from Jakarta. Tourist High Season is July and August for Europeans and Americans, and December and January for Australians. We recommend a visit between April and December.
The dry season is between April and October with the coolest months of May, June and July having an average temperature of 28°C. Rainy season is between November and March, with sudden downpours interrupted by periods of sunshine. The weather affects the surfing here only in certain areas at specific times of the year. You can surf Bali all year round.
Wherever you are on the island there are plenty of restaurants offering good quality, reasonably priced food. In Kuta, there are all the usual restaurant types you'd expect in any popular tourist place, such as Italian, Seafood, Mexican, Thai, Japanese, Asian, local Indonesian, as well as western fast food joints.
The main beaches of Bali consist of kuta beach, sanur beach, nusadua beach, lovina beach, and tulamben. Kuta is the best place to learn surfing, and there are more advanced breaks for experienced surfers at Suluban beach. Sanur offer a great beach and plenty of water sports - windsurfing, snorkeling, parasailing etc. all readily available. The nightlife is quiet in comparison to Kuta and there are plenty of good quality, reasonably priced eateries as well as some excellent craft, clothing, art and antique shops making this an attractive option for those wanting a more peaceful type of vacation.
