There’s no doubt Bali has become touristy, but the real thing is still there, waiting to be discovered by those who make the effort. In the end you get out of your Bali holiday exactly what you put into it
Where to stay
What’s your primary reason for visiting Bali? There are tons of accommodations in the island – from backpacker digs to yoga retreats, rice paddies to beachfront views, dirt-cheap to luxurious – and thinking of why you’re there will help you narrow down thewhere.
If you’re a beach and surf lover, you’ll want to stay in a coastal area such as Kuta, Legian or Seminyak. Although Kuta has a reputation for being party central – think Boracay’s Station 2 – there are places where you can be near the beach and still have a good night’s sleep sans loud, pulsating music.
Plus, Kuta’s long history of hosting tourists means it offers numerous lodging options for every budget. Just pay attention to reviews when booking. When we were in Kuta, we stayed at The Royal Eighteen Resort & Spa, which was only a 5-10 minute walk from the beach but was quiet enough at night. It also had a rooftop pool, a buffet breakfast, and a cheaper nightly rate than its name would suggest.
