Bali and beach; the two words are almost synonymous in the minds of most people and for good reason, there are many amazing beaches that effortlessly draw the crowds. Whether it is surfing, swimming, diving or simply admiring a breath taking sunset; Bali is the perfect location for your next seaside vacation. Plan your visit between April and October to catch the best weather.
Bali’s best loved beach, Kuta is party central. Only minutes away from Ngurah Rai International Airport, it is also a top spot for surfing. Selecting a resort in Kuta is a breeze as hotels are located up and down on the beachfront; along with top notch restaurants, nightclubs and shopping malls that are within walking distance. It was once a sleepy fishing village but today the vibe is one of high energy, so get ready for an action packed trip. If you do need a break from the hive of activity, the Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort has a special ‘Sheraton Sweet Sleeper Bed’ that promises to recharge your batteries as you sleep!
Balangan Beach, Bias Tugal and Geger Beach are three beaches that are less touristy and travellers looking for a more relaxing getaway will enjoy. Amed is another quiet spot, though it is a two hour drive from the airport. It may be worth the travel time if you are interested in doing some snorkelling to get a closer look at the live coral and colourful marine life underwater. The volcanic sand at Amed also gives its beach an unusual black appearance. Sanur Beach, another favourite, is visited by tourists looking for the local charm. A paved walkway running alongside the beach gives early risers a chance to get in some exercise and some great photos of the sunrise.
