KEEP READINGIf you’ve never been to Bali before, but are planning your first ever trip, there are definitely a few things you need to know before you go. It is a truly unique place to visit, one filled with incredible sites, built on a rich history, supported by beautiful people. I’ve been lucky enough to visit Bali many times and I just keep coming back because it’s a beautiful, fun and adventurous place that’s very easy to fall in love with.
To help you prepare for your first trip to Bali, here are my top tips on things you absolutely must know before you go.
When it comes to luxury beachfront digs, the best spot to base yourself is at Seminyak, one of my favourite spots to stay. You’ll find this area home to many beach front resorts, luxury hotels, villas and spas as well as shops, restaurants and classy bars and clubs. For a more low-key beachside stay, try Canggu, which offers up a laid-back, surfers feel for less.
For a more earthy experience, head an hour inland to Ubud. This area is famous for its lush green rainforest, rice patties and ancient temples. Ubud offers up plenty of things to do. It’s a tranquil retreat, where you can nurture your mind, body and soul with great food, yoga, spas, arts and crafts.
If you really want to get away from it all try an escape out to Uluwatu, set along the stunning, jagged coastline of the Bukit Peninsula. This spot is home to private villas, luxe resorts, infinity pools and fantastic bars. You’ll also be treated to some of the most beautiful views of the Indian Ocean.
If you’re on a tight budget, a stay in Kuta might be just the ticket. You’ll find plenty of great homestay’s run by locals, offering up cosy accommodation in the heart of Kuta’s party playground. Think bars and clubs, cheap local eats, an abundance of shopping and a short stroll to the beach.
