Sanur is  a well established, but quiet tourist place, very suitable for families or others seeking comfortable surroundings without too much noise and night life. Sanur has a white sand beach where swimming is safe,but only possible at high tide.

Hotels in Nusa Dua

Nusa Dua is a tourist area on the most southern tip of the island. Unlike Kuta or Sanur, Nusa Dua was never a normal village or town but was planned and developed in the 1980s in a previously uninhabited area  of the island as an upmarket tourist enclave. The hotels in Nusa Dua are all in the four to five star category and most of them offer spacious landscaped gardens with artificial lakes, lagoons, palm groves, etc.

Hotels in Tanjung Benoa

Tanjung Benoa is a fishing village with a normal infrastructure. The resorts are located on the beach

Hotels in Kuta/Legian

Kuta is the oldest and most lively tourist place (which means a lot of boisterous nightlife with all the accompanying effects). There are a lot of lower middle class properties but also a number of very elegant and luxurious ones (most of them located on the northern extension of Kuta beach, Legian Beach,for instance the famous Bali Oberoi.) Kuta and Legian beach are not ideal places for swimming, because the undercurrent and the surf can be quite strong.
Hotels in Tuban

Tuban is a dark sand beach south of Kuta where a lot of middle and upper middle class properties are located. Good for families.

Hotels on Jimbaran Beach

The nicest beach on Bali is Jimbaran Beach. The very beautiful, but extremely expensive Four Seasons Hotel is located here as well as the newly built Ritz Carlton.

Hotels in Candi Dasa/Eastern Bali

On the east cost of the island you find the little town Candi Dasa. Candi Dasa has no natural beach, but it is a very good starting place for sightseeing excursions to Pura Besakih, Tirtta Gangga or a trip to Amed beach.for snokelling.

Hotels in Ubud

In Ubud   a lot of smaller hotels and homestays can be found downtown  and a number of very luxurious resorts just outside of Ubud. Most of them are settled in landscaped gardens on the hillside with spectacular views of the river and the rice terraces, for instance the Amandari or the Four Seasons Ubud. The town is quite interesting and has to important museums, see Sightseeing in Ubud.

Hotels in Northern Bali

Along the north coast tourism is less established, which makes it an especially charming area, but there are already a small number of hotels, most of them located near Singaraja on Lovina Beach. (See our Map of Bali). The beaches in the north of Bali are all black (volcanic sand). There are good diving grounds in the north. A further attraction are dolphin watching, or visits to the temples of Northern Bali.
