Bali Hotel Guide presenting Accomodation and Hotels in Bali
List of hotels in Bali covering Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Tuban, Jimbaran, Nusa Dua, Benoa, Sanur, Lembongan, Ubud, Candidasa, and Bali hotel area North Bali.
Hotels in Legian - Bali
The hotels in this area are usually small to mid size, locally owned and managed properties. That said hotels in this area tend to be a bit more expensive than their counter parts in Kuta and refer to themselves as "Boutique Hotels" (unfortunately, officially there is no such category and therefore all properties are listed as Melati type).
Hotels in Kuta - Bali
Once a small, sleepy, hard scrabble fishing village Kuta woke up and smelled the money. This is Bali's premier beach area. You will either love the excitement of this unique and dynamic area where East meets West or not because of the noise and ever present street hawkers. Kuta today often refers to the entire area of what is really three separate villages (Kuta, Legian and Tuban) and is the main entertainment area for tourists - especially famous (and justly so) for its nightlife.
Hotels in Seminyak - Bali
Seminyak has come into its own as an area to be reckoned with. The restaurant scene in Seminyak is second to none and becoming famous throughout South East Asia with its vibrant and eclectic choices, while the area's nightclubs have set the pace in Bali for some time now - this is where you go after you're done all you can in Kuta.
Perhaps for this reason the area has become a magnet for designers and entrepreneurs, both local and international, and many small hotels and villas have been built in Seminyak reflecting the cosmopolitan nature of the area.
Hotels in Tuban - Bali
South Kuta has a very good mix of hotel accommodations starting from budget 'losmen' through 5 star properties and together with Water Bom Park, an international standard amusement park and several first class shopping centres South Kuta has earned a reputation as a family oriented, value for money destination.
Hotels in Jimbaran - Bali
Jimbaran, just south of the airport and located on a scenic bay on Bali's west coast was, until recently, also a small fishing village. Lately the area has been turned into the haunt of very exclusive 5 star hotels in the likes of the Intercontinental Bali, Four Seasons and, further up the hill, Ritz Carlton.
However that said, the hotels are quite spread out and as such the surrounding area is still very much in tack and without the overwhelming commercialization found in Kuta.
Hotels in Nusa Dua - Bali
As such Nusa Dua is a quiet, extremely luxurious oasis for those looking for an experience not soon forgotten. Today there are nine international 5 star super deluxe hotels in Nusa Dua proper. The area comes complete with an 18 hole championship golf course and large western style shopping area. Connected to municipal sewage treatment facilities, the hotels in Nusa Dua have been planned, and are, the most environmentally friendly hotels on Bali.
The success and prestige of Nusa Dua is such that many hotels have been developed just to the north in nearby Tanjung Benoa - a small peninsula jutting north along Bali's eastern coast. Tanjung Benoa is well known for water sports and very nice hotels that offer good value for money but lack some of the size and a few of the facilities of the international chain hotels in neighbouring Nusa Dua.
Hotels in Sanur - Bali
Sanur is where the Dutch forces landed in 1904 to begin their “conquest” of Bali. Later the "in" artist community - before every one moved up to Ubud. Later still, Bali’s first beach resort. In addition to being home to some of Bali's best known hotels Sanur is also a very cozy, comfortable residential area. As such it is much quieter than Kuta and has more "Balinese character" than the newer Nusa Dua resort area.
Being closer to Ubud and many of the island's more important temples and other tourist attractions, Sanur is a good all around choice for families and those wishing explore Bali but still be close to Bali's nightlife in Kuta and Seminyak.
Hotels in Nusa Lembongan - Bali
East of Bali, just over an hour by boat lie three remote and, for the most part, uninhabited islands: Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan and Nusa Penida. Nusa Lembongan is the closest to Bali and the most developed of the three.
Small by any standard, Nusa Lembongan has supported itself over the years with fishing and seaweed farming. However with crystal clear waters that are ideal for a variety of water sports including scuba diving and snorkeling Nusa Lembogan's real appeal is its peace and tranquility. When you really to get away from it all - this is the place to go.
Hotels in Ubud - Bali
The Balinese are a somewhat unusual island people. Instead of looking outward to the sea, they have always looked inward to the mountains. Ubud epitomizes this and for many Ubud is Bali. Ubud has become known worldwide as a centre and haven for the arts. A very special place to be sure, with spectacular hillside settings overlooking lush rice paddies. Close your eyes and listen to the sound of the gamelan wafting through the hills and then you will know how Bali came to be known as 'Morning of the World'.
There is a wide range of hotel accommodation from the most expensive hotel on the island down to the budget losmen. As well there are a number of very, very fine restaurants, several respectable museums and lots of interesting folks wandering about.
Hotels in Candidasa - Bali
Being some 85 km from the airport ensures some tranquility, however as more people discover that there is quite a bit to see and do in Candidasa, the area is beginning to develop rapidly with many first class hotels now sprouting up. Besides being near many top dive spots, Candidasa is near many cultural treasures; Pura Besakih and Tenganan Village. For those looking for a holiday off the beaten track a few days in Candidasa would be a welcome respite.
Hotels in North Bali
At one time Singaraja was the capital of Bali and its main trading port. As such Singaraja has an eclectic mix of Hindu, Muslim and Buddhism culture wrapped in Dutch colonial trappings. Rich in history including the Gedong Kirtha Library which was built by the Dutch during their colonial rule, the library contains important documents and historical manuscripts. Even though Singaraja is well off the beaten track, (about 3 hours from Kuta / airport - but the journey is magnificent), north Bali slowly starting to come of age with tourists interested in Bali’s past and those interested in Bali without the mass tourism or western style shopping malls.
