Travel Tips for Villa holidays in Bali

Surfboards on the beach at Kuta

Bali is a beautiful island, and one that can be driven around in just a day, so small is it in size. However, despite its small size, Bali has exotic beaches, luxury villas, excellent surf for the sports enthusiasts and many dance performances to entertain the tourists.

Explorers can also venture inland from their holiday villa to see some of the many volcanoes in Bali, but don’t worry as they’re highly unlikely to erupt!

Here are a few tips to make the most of your time in Bali:

  • If you like to get out and party, you’ll find Bali has some excellent nightclubs in Kuta, and plenty of local shops to tempt you with souvenirs to take back home with you. One important tip while in Bali is to only drink alcohol from branded bottles bought from authorised retailers.

  • When travelling around, most taxis are unmetered so it is wise to negotiate the price before you get in. Why not try travel by ‘bemo’, a mini-van that acts as a sort of communal bus and you just hail the driver and negotiate the fare.

  • If you wish to visit a temple, be sure to wear a waist sash. For clothing, light, airy clothes in cotton or linen are ideal for the climate in Bali.

  • Bali is perfect for those who like to relax, as you can spend your time in a spa, rejuvenating your body and soul, and you can even enjoy a massage on the beach. Of course simply sitting in one of the villas in Bali and enjoying the cuisine can be an ideal way to spend an evening.
