1. Kuta: Bali's Precious Gem
On the island of Bali, you will find one of the most famous spots around - Kuta. It is arguably the best-known tourist getaway in Bali, mostly because of the long, broad Kuta Beach, with pristine, white sand and turquoise-blue waters, which makes for a surfer's paradise. Previously known as a modest fishing village, it has become a tourist hub, boasting hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. Engage your family in fun-filled activities such as swimming, sunbathing, and boating on the beach. If pushy vendors begin to bother you as you're soaking up the sun, move north along the beach to Legian, Seminyak, or Petitenget for a quieter experience.
2. Canggu Beach: Surf's Up!
Situated at the center of Tanah Lot and Seminyak, Canggu Beach is a coastal village and an up-and-coming resort area. You'll definitely love the spectacular view of the sunset from the beach as you take a slow stroll on the sand. If you're not a surfer, you can relax and take a seat on the enormous volcanic rock by the ocean. In the evening, wind up your day with live musical performances with delicious food to go with it. Families and couples alike can spend time with one another in the latest restaurants, bars, surf camps, and a host of other attractive places.
3. Petitenget Temple: The Tropical Temple of Peace and Relaxation
Situated on Petitenget Beach, Bali, Petienget Temple is an ancient Hindu structure. Explore the not-so-big temple for the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle that Kuta has to offer. The structure, which is a couple of centuries old, is a functional temple to the locals, who refer to it as 'Pura Petitenget'. Enjoy the serene relaxing tropic surrounding of Petitenget, whose location is at the center of a jungle that once existed there. Especially at sunset, steal a picturesque view of the beach and the sun as it sets on the horizon.
4. Waterbom Park: Feel the Rush of Adrenaline
Located in downtown Kuta, this exciting water park will get your adrenaline pumping. Its various water slides and attractions ensure no one is left out. The smallest kids will have a blast on supervised rides specifically designed for them. Take it easy on the leisurely float down the Lazy River or defy gravity in wild rides like the Twin racer, Superbowl and Boomerang. Have fun on the Constrictor, one of the world's longest waterslides, and experience dramatic twists and turns on the Python.
5. Legian Beach: Your Nightlife Experience Will Never Be the Same
After Kuta, Legian Beach is another famous area with tons of tourists flooding in every single day. This amazing turnout is attributed to the lively parties, extravagant beach life, and best of all, the enjoyable nightlife. All this, of course, is not complete without the white sandy beach. Relax on the warm sand with sunscreen on your skin and let the sun do its thing. Alternatively, you can take a leisurely walk in the evening, spend the night in a lively club and finally... well, the rest is up to you!
