Bali is too large to call it a destination. It
is in fact a region, large enough to need three STD codes. The
heart of tourist Bali, its most happening core area, is just
north of the airport. This is Kuta, with its beaches of Legian
and Seminyak. South of the airport is the popular Jimbaran Beach
where you will come to have a meal from the vast open-air grill
on the sand. Further south is the ancient Uluwatu Temple where
you will come to marvel at its location atop a steep cliff or
watch a Balinese barong dance. To the east of Jimbaran is Nusa
Dua and Tanjung Benoa, the upmarket tourist area of Bukit Badung.
East of Kuta are the beaches of Sanur, past Bali's capital city
of Denpasar.
North-east and slightly inland from here is Ubud, the arts
centre and home to the Monkey Forest Sanctuary. Further
north-east of Ubud, in North Bali, is the Gunung Batur volcano
and Danau Batur lake, which are east of the black sand beaches
of Lovina, located on the North Bali coast. North-east of Lovina
is Singaraja, with traditional wet markets and bargain stalls.
