Kuta
Once a lonely village on the road from Denpasar toward the Bukit
Peninsula, Kuta is now a thriving tourist resort, popular mainly
among the young. It is a popular beach for surfing although
|
 |
|
currents make it less suitable for swimming. Coast guards, however,
are on constant duty during the day. Kuta faces toward the west
offering beautiful sunsets. Accommodation ranges from international
hotels to homestays. The village abounds with restaurants,
shops, discotheques and other tourist facilities. It is easier
to find regular performances of Balinese music and dance in
Kuta, staged specially for tourists, than anywhere else in Bali.
Some performances are staged nightly. The village is ideal for
meeting and mixing with other people, locals as well as visitors
from abroad. |
Nusa
Dua
The Nusa Dua tourist resort is part of the Bukit Peninsula in
Southern Bali. Some of the most beautiful and luxurious hotels
are found here. The resort is known for its clean waters. The
surf is gentle along the |
 |
|
northern side of the Peninsula, bigger along the south. The
most convenient form of transportation to and from Nusa Dua
is by taxi. |
Sangeh
(Monkey Forest)
Ten hectares of nutmeg trees in the Sangeh forest abounds with
monkeys. The forest is considered sacred, so no wood is allowed
to be chopped here. Two temples stand in the middle of the forest
and another at the edge. As they live in this sacred forest,
the monkeys are also held sacred and are rather tame, but it
is advisable not to play with them. |

Uluwatu
Temple
It's located South Bali on Bukit Badung. This cliff top temple,
dedicated to the spirits of the sea, has spectacular views and
is popular for viewing sunsets. During the Galungan festival
people from all over the island travel here to worship. |
