First decided to visit Indonesia? Then get ready to hear from local guides a very pretentious legend about the emergence of the island. Bali was created by the gods "for their own use", but later the celestials decided to open it to people. This is probably why the best resorts in Indonesia offer a truly divine vacation.
Lovina
Quiet and somehow homely cozy resort place located in the northwestern part of Bali. The village of Kalibukbuk serves as the center of the resort. It is here that most of all hotels are located, as well as the main nightlife of the resort. The sands of the beaches in Lovina are black, which looks very original against the backdrop of lush greenery and azure ocean waves.
The coastal waters are very calm, so there are absolutely ideal conditions for snorkeling and diving, which are popular with the tourist fraternity. There are several small bars on the beaches, where live music is played and vacationers can play billiards. Quite often, local restaurants organize evenings with Balinese dancers.
Banjar hot springs are located near the city, surrounded by lush vegetation. The local waters have a very comfortable temperature, and taking local baths is not only beneficial, but also very pleasant. It should be borne in mind that the water contains a fairly large amount of sulfur. Therefore, the smell in the baths is not very pleasant. However, you get used to it pretty quickly.
Batam Island
The island's territory is divided into several resort zones offering hotels of all categories. These are modern complexes with their own golf clubs, and budget guesthouses. The most expensive resort in Batam is Nongsa. It is located on the peninsula of the same name. The main category of vacationers are residents of Singapore. The most "star" hotels and restaurants are located here.
The capital of the island, the city of Nagoya, does not shine with architectural delights or interesting places to visit. But there is simply an incredible number of shops, cafes and restaurants, as well as night discos and bars where you can heartily sing in karaoke. Accordingly, the most vibrant nightlife takes place in this place of Batam.
Prefers more active pastime? Then you need to go to the Waterfront. It is here that fans of water sports and night discos strive to get.
But not only the beaches attract tourists here. The Barelang bridges are one of the main island attractions. It is also worth looking into Malay villages and appreciating the beauty of a Buddhist temple.
