It's likely that you've heard about Bali before. Friends try to describe the incredible experiences they've had and travel guides try to capture the mood through synopses of the landscape, but in truth, no words can accurately describe this destination. Bali is absolutely unique in the world. It will satisfy any vacationer's goals and throw in many unexpected delights along the way. You cannot go wrong on a trip to this tiny island in Indonesia.
EscapeWizard.com invites you to spend your next vacation on the legendary island of Bali. Whether you seek adventure, culture, relaxation or great shopping during your vacation, Bali is the perfect place to satisfy your longings. Book your flight into Denpasar, the capital city and site of the large international airport, Denpasar International Airport (DPS), with EscapeWizard.com by following this link (www.escapewizard.com/flight.php). While you're booking, check out the many hotel options EscapeWizard.com has to offer on our hotel finder by following this link (www.escapewizard.com/hotels.php?flag=htl).
Start your trip to Bali with a visit to one of many beaches along Bali's south-western coastline. These can be found in the Kuta, Seminyak or Legion areas. Though each of these areas is different, Kuta being a bit more big-brand and upscale, while Legion and Seminyak have smaller shops, they are all very close to each other and easy to move in between. Even if you are not staying in this area (where most young backpackers and travelers will be), it is easily accessible, as are all parts of the island, by taxi or scooter. A popular tourist hangout, you will have no trouble finding all types of restaurants, accommodations and water sport services along the beach. This is the place to surf, Jet Ski and parasail. Moving inland just a few blocks, you will find more shops and coffee shop hangouts than you will know what to do with. Kuta, Legion and Seminyak are great starting points if you're not sure what you want to do during your stay in Bali.
These areas of Bali are certainly considered more 'touristy', and while that has it's benefits, EscapeWizard.com invites you to step off the heavily beaten path and onto the more lightly beaten paths toward the cultural treasures of Bali. Just north of the popular beach areas, you will find Tanah Lot, the famous Balinese water temple. Tanah Lot is the most popular of 7 water temples surrounding Bali. Situated just beyond the shore line in the water, it is said to have been built as a holy place to worship the Balinese sea gods.
Gods and worship are a major part of every day Balinese life, as a short stroll through any part of the island will reveal. The official religion of Bali is Hinduism, a stark contrast to the Islam in the rest of Indonesia. That Bali is a Hindu society does not mean that it resembles India, or that it follows a standardized tradition. The Balinese, again, are unique in their showing of faith, their traditions, culture and history. Strolling through any part of Bali, you will see large and small temples, you will smell incense being burned as an offering to the gods and you might even step on the small baskets of offerings that line the sidewalks and doorsteps of shops. These are meant to ward off evil spirits and can be found almost everywhere on the island.
EscapeWizard.com suggests that you take in a bit of Balinese culture before you leave the island. One of the best places to experience the culture of Bali is in Ubud, a small town in the center of the island, away from the beach. Ubud boasts ancient palaces, monkey forests, thick luscious foliage, and nightly Balinese entertainment. In Ubud you can dine on Balinese cuisine, stroll around the many shops in the market, visit the old king's palace and catch a Balinese dance. You can also go hiking, cycling or take a cooking class during your stay.
Bali has manifold entertainment, cultural experience and relaxation opportunities to choose from. EscapeWizard.com invites you take advantage and see and do what you can while visiting this special place. Whatever you have in mind for your perfect vacation can probably be achieved on the island of Bali.
