Bali

Bali really needs no introduction. It is one of the premier tourist destinations in the world having an amazing combination of spectacular beaches, striking volcanoes, picturesque rice paddies as well as an incredibly rich and vibrant culture and an open and friendly people.

Bali receives thousands of visitors from all over the world every year, and as a result is relatively easy to get to with direct flights from most parts of the world to Denpasar airport, and most things that you would need are readily available including good medical care, and most western goods and services.

The majority of tourists to Bali stay within 30 minutes of the airport either at the huge self-contained 5 star hotels that hug the beach at Nusa Dua or in the heavily touristed areas along Kuta & Legian beach which is the centre in Bali for surfing, shopping and partying.

In the past few years visitors have increasingly found their way first to Ubud, which lies among the picturesque rice paddies in the foot hills of the massive volcanoes in the centre of the island, and latterly to East Bali (where Candi Dasa is situated) which has similar spectacular mountain views as Ubud, but also has access to beaches and some of the best diving in Bali, if not in South East Asia.
