 18 Reviews  The Holy Springs of Tirta Empul were founded in the ninth century. The springs are believed to have magical powers. As such they are an important centre for ceremonies and prayer. There are bathing pools with ornate water spouts, ponds filled with huge 'ikan mas', gold fish, and several pools with... 

 14 Reviews  Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park is a great place for a night out at a restaurant with terrific views. But make sure you get there well before dark so you can have a good walk around. There is an enormous statue of a Garuda (not yet finished when I visited in January 2010). What probably amazed me... 

 11 Reviews  Firstly I have to say Ayana Resort is one truely beautiful resort and walking through the resort you can just start to imagine how beautiful the rock bar is. The bar is built on a rock on the side of the cliff but it`s very important to be here early when planning on coming to watch the sunset... 

 3 Reviews  Taman Tirta Gangga water palace is a place of beautiful gardans and serene water-scapes. Located in the village of Tirta Gangga high on a hill overlooking amazing terraced rice fields, Taman Tirtta Gangga is a great place to escape the heat and hustle and bustle of south Bali for a day. It is... 

 7 Reviews  We couldn't decide how to spend a day in Ubud, having an indulgent massage, or going for a healthy walk in the countryside, or maybe just a tasty lunch in an outdoor setting? Then we found the brochure for Beji Ayu Health and Beauty Center in our Hotel foyer. Problem solved, as their Rice... 

 4 Reviews  After a visit to Pura Ulun Danu Bratan, stop off at Candikuning market for some fresh food and gifts. The market is very much a 'tourist' market but with a few bargaining skills, you can pick up some gifts for friends at home. There is a great range of spices and impressive wood boxes and ornaments.... 

 10 Reviews  Living and working in Bali, it's easy to get into a routine which is not so very different from living elsewhere. Sometimes I forget why I am here, and that's when I take a day out, trying to visit places which I either have not been to before, or have not been to for quite a while. Last week my... 

 4 Reviews  If you are passing through Amlapura on the way to Amed or Tirta Gangga, a visit to one of the palaces is worth the break in your journey. Puri Agung Karangasem has some impressive rooms - including the royal bedroom - and gardens to view. The pavilion display of musical instruments is also... 

 6 Reviews  I would rate Tanah Lot as th top must see places of interest in Bali. It is located on the coast of West Bali. Tanah Lot means "Land in the Middle of the sea". The area leading to Tanah Lot is highly touristy and enterance fees are required. To reach the temple, we have to walk through all the... 

 3 Reviews  This is a very beautiful place to visit. It takes about 2 hours or so to get here. The place suprises of the Kintamani Volcano and Batur Lake. The scenary here is really very beautiful. The weather here is abit cooler then being in place like Denpesar. There is many restaurants here with great views... 

 7 Reviews  Well every time I have gone to bali the intention was there to go to dreamland....finally this time we had a spare couple of hours after we had been for my wedding dressfitting. So off we went back to the hotel to get the towels and on with the swimmers...didn;t end up using them it was a bit rough... 

 3 Reviews  Air Panas Banjar, natural hot springs, is a great afternoon activity if you are staying in Lovina, or a good tonic for acheing muscles after a trek through the jungle. Banjar is located about 15 kilometres from Lovina and can be reached by bemo or there are guided tours. The hot water flows into... 

 9 Reviews  This dance is very different than I had expected. It is not a song and dance show but a play. Many residents of Batubulan are performers and although there are many shows , they all seem to have a similar theme. The play was basically about a fight between good and evil . The dancers are dressed in... 

 4 Reviews  A cycling tour in Bali gives you a chance to explore the beauty and culture of Indonesia. Make frequent stops along the way to get a closer look at the many ancient temples and plantations. Ride past sleepy villages and see the locals perform their daily chores, working in the fields or taking... 

 2 Reviews  A few kilometres east of Ubud is Goa Gajah, a complex with a cave containing statues of Hindu gods including Ganesh, the elephant-headed god. The cave mouth is surrounded by an intricately carved relief of a mountain-scape complete with animals, but the entrance to the cave is through the huge mouth... 

 3 Reviews  One of the best things I did was to go West to Medewi and surf. The three hour drive is an adventure in itself. Don't hire a driver, rent a car, check it out around town first. ( I rented one once that had a bad clutch that went out in the middle of nowwhere) The drive West. Don't come back the same... 

 2 Reviews  It's a beautiful scenery. It looks almost like a waterfall of greenery or geographical contours on a map. I took some lovely photos of it, especially when the sun was up and the terrace was partly shaded by clouds. It made a wonderful effect. 

 2 Reviews  The Sideman area is home to a number of quality weaving centres - some still using very traditional methods of dying, drying and weaving cloth. Visitors are welcome to view the process. Ask for directions in Sideman village or at your accommodation. 

 3 Reviews  Kintamani Volcano and Lake Batur It is about 2PM when we arrive in Kintamani . We’re lucky to have a clear view of the volcano called Mount Batur. It is often lost in the clouds. The last time it erupted was in the 1960’s and the path of volcanic ash can still be seen . We’re told that smoke is...
