Bali’s world famous beaches grow in popularity by the day.

Bali also boasts the finest luxury hotels Indonesia has to offer. Though the tropical island has warm weather all year around, the months between April and October are the best for enjoying the sun, sea and sand.
Among Bali’s beaches, Kuta steals the spotlight for having the best part vibe. It is a quick drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport and perfect for those who want to surf by day and hit the bars by night. The once sleepy fishing village is a hive of activity today. Fine dining restaurants, ritzy bars and nightclubs together with shopping malls, surf shops and star class hotels have taken over the local landscape. Starwood Indonesia, a reputed name in hospitality, has a strong presence along the coast and offers a familiar and trusted accommodation option to world travellers visiting Bali.
Balangan Beach, Bias Tugal and Geger Beach are three lesser known beaches on Indonesia’s best loved island. Visitors looking for a slower pace away from the teaming crowds would find these more appealing. A bit further out is Amed, another quiet spot that is ideal for snorkelling. Aside from the array of colourful marine creatures and coral that are found underwater, the beach itself is covered in fine black sand. It is this volcanic sand that gives Amed Beach its unique appearance. Sanur Beach, is known for its local charm and attracts visitors looking for a taste of traditional Bali. Sanur features a running track that follows the beach and the views at sunrise are postcard worthy.
