The southern beach areas are home to "popular Bali" - beach resorts, surfing, and a wild nightlife. Favorite resort areas include Sanur, Kuta Beach and Nusa Dua. Seminyak, Jimbaran Bay and Legian have slightly nicer beaches with far fewer tourists. In the area, there is also the fantastic Ulu Watu temple with stunning views of the rough surf from cliffs 500 feet above.

Central Bali (Ubud area) has a much different feel than the southern beach region. Inland, at slightly higher altitudes, with lush rice terraces and charming villages, this part of the island is known for art, culture, hiking, volcano climbing, and mountain biking from village to village. It is a good place to get off the beaten path and explore on your own. You'll find terrific art, textiles and hand-crafted furniture in the little towns between Denpasar and Ubud.

The north side of Bali is the place to take advantage of the island's unique marine life. Swim with dolphins, snorkel within the uniquely Balinese waters, or try some fantastic boat dives. While somewhat developed for tourism, it does not have the large resorts or 5+ star properties that you'll find on the other side of the island. Instead, it offers a slower paced, less commercial, beach environment. The northwest section of Bali is also home to the large Barat National Park.

With the reputation of being one of the most beautiful and diverse tourist spot in Asia, Bali is visited by many visitors from around the world. The Balinese people have strong spiritual roots and despite the large influx of tourists over the year, their culture is still alive. The main religion of Bali's people is Agama Hindu Dharma and they are very friendly.
