Bali's finest beach resort
Choosing between Balinese beaches, decide for yourself what exactly you want from a beach holiday.
The best place for families with children is the Sanur beaches on the east coast. It is only 10 km away from the airport, and the gentle entrance to the water and the calm sea ensure safe swimming even for little ones.
The main center for divers in Bali also operates here. It is in its pool that beginners are taught the art of diving, and therefore Sanur is considered the best resort in Bali for beginner scuba divers.
Young people are especially attracted to the beaches of Kutu. The reason for this popularity lies in the huge number of hangouts - bars and restaurants, discos and nightclubs.
If you are not too confident in your abilities and prefer a very calm sea, head to the north of the island. Volcanic black sand and calm waters create the perfect scenery for watching sunsets.
West Bali is a paradise for romantics and lovers. There is almost no infrastructure, the beaches are mostly wild, but the views from the rocky shores are truly stunning.

Where to surf: in Kuta or Uluwatu?
The most popular surfing spots in Bali are the resorts of Kuta and Uluwatu. The first is more suitable for "green" beginners who have seen the board for the first time in their lives, and the second can be afforded by confident athletes.
Kuta is famous for its surf schools, where everyone is put on the board. The sandy bottom and lack of cliffs make this resort ideal for inexperienced surfers. The price of a lesson at a local school is about $ 30, and you can rent a surf for the whole day for only $ 10.
The Uluwatu resort in the southern part of the island is more suitable for fans of a quiet, measured holiday. There are no noisy clubs and crowds of suffering youth entertainment. Married couples are distinguished by their sedateness, and photographers who come to the resort disappear all day in search of another landscape. But surfers also adore Uluwatu for a good long wave that allows them to glide long and smoothly on the surface of the water.
