What You Can Do in Bali
Bali’s dive sites are awesome. You can dive with sharks, swim with mantas, explore wrecks, and photograph dogtooth tunas. However, Bali is much more than just diving. It has many natural, cultural, spiritual, and historical articles of interest for tourists. Given below is a list of some of them.
- Tanah Lot temple in Bali sits on a big rock surrounded by the sea. There are many smaller shrines on the shore near it, and also a park that hosts dance programs.
- Pan Pacific Nirwana Bali, the 5-star resort near the temple, has an 18-hole golf course.
- Another temple, Uluwatu, in Bukit Peninsula, is perched upon a cliff. There is a monkey forest nearby, and an amphitheatre where fire dances take place.
- The brilliant green terraced rice fields of Ubud are a sight to behold, and so is Ubud’s art market from where you can buy souvenirs. There is a monkey forest in Ubud too.
- The active volcano Mount Batur with its concentric volcanic craters is a major tourist attraction. Early morning treks to the top of Mount Batur are immensely popular.
- The animal-themed Bali Safari & Marine Park, animal talent shows, Elephant Safari Park where you can ride on elephants, and Elephant Cave through which you have to descend, are some of the other attractions.
- ‘Bali Seawalker’, an arrangement to see underwater marine life without diving, Turtle Conservation and Education Centre, Le Mayeur Museum, Blanjong Inscription, and open-air Griya Santrian Gallery are Sanur’s prime attractions.
- The Liberty Wreck and massage parlours are Talamben’s claim to fame, while West Bali National Park and Dolphin Watching boat trips are Pemutaran’s.
- There are many temples in Padang Bai and one at a height of 25 m above sea level. Here you can also see original Balinese villages like Tenganan and the remains of Klungkung Royal Palace.
- Banah Cliffs, traditional weaving centres, snorkelling spots, and the temple Goa Karangsari, the entrance of which is so small that you have to crawl through it, are in Nusa Penida.
- Bali’s nightlife is designed for a wide cross section of the tourists. There are beach clubs, sunset cruises, theatre shows, rooftop bars, and grand night clubs with live DJs, bands, cabarets, and karaoke rooms. Sanur, Denpasar, and Kuta have very active night markets with a variety of dining options.
Scuba Diving in Bali
One of the most beautiful islands in the world and Indonesia’s most popular diving holiday destination, the island of Bali, never fails to attract the visit from many tourists all around the globe. Finding the attraction of good shore-based diving set against a stunning back drop of huge, magnificent volcanoes and picturesque rice paddy terraces while diving in Bali is simply irresistible. There are quite a lot of diving sites in Bali. Below are some of the dive sites available there.
Nusa Dua
Take a boat and travel about 10 minutes from Tanjung Benoa or Nusa Dua, and you will be rewarded by colorful coral fish, gigantic table coral and soft corals growing on the mile long barrier reef. Nusa Dua is a diving site that is ideal for both beginner and experienced divers.
Tanjung Benoa
Tanjung Benoa is a very popular water games area for tourists. This area is still in the tourist area of Nusa Dua. From the direction of Kuta, it can be reached by only 20-30 minutes driving. While can only submerge until the maximum depth of 6 meters, divers can see the beautiful coral reefs while feeding the fish under the sea.
Tulamben
Take a dive onto the incredible US Liberty Wreck and witness the fantastic array of corals and marine life that have made the 120 m structure their home in the water of Tulamben. With numerous Boat Dives, Shore Dives, and an array of macro life that is very hard to compare to anywhere in the region along with fantastic night dives, Tulamben has something for divers of all levels and interests.
Sanur
The dive site of Sanur lies approximately 300 m off shore from the famous Sanur beach that you could visit by taking a short ride with jukung or small boat. Three named dive sites that exist at the reef in front of Sanur, which are “Channel Point”, “Penjor Reef” and “Jeladi Wilis” offer a bit different bottom composition. Although there is a lot of marine life to see, sometimes the underwater visibility can be a challenge and the current depends on the tides. This site is ideal for beginner and experienced divers who seek adventure not too far from civilization.
Amed
Amed is a small village in the northeast coastal region of Bali, with dry volcanic rock ridges along its coastline. It is about 10 km south of Tulamben Bay, at Culik regency. This place offers four different diving sites, which are Uyah Reef and Cemeluk Reef in Cemeluk Bay, Bunutan Reef and Lipah Reef in the farther east.
Nusa Lembongan
This area is popular for the Manta Point, the Mola-mola interaction, and the live boat drift dive experiences, for which the region is now world renowned. There are a total of 15 dive sites here that offer a terrific variety of diving for all levels of participants, and some sites that are suitable only for experienced divers. Early morning departures to Manta Point and carefully timed drops on the Mola-mola cleaning stations are seasonal highlights.
There are other recommended dive sites in Bali as well such as Candidasa, Kuta, Nusa Penida, Menjangan, Amuk Bay, Gili Selang, Padang Bay, Secret Bay, Puri Jati, Kubu, and Gili Tepekong.
Best Time to Visit Bali
Bali has a wet season and a dry season, and the dry one, from April to September, is the right time for visiting. During the dry season, the days are bright and sunny, weather is not humid, and showers, if at all, are infrequent. The rainy season from October to March is marked by short bursts of rain, but the days remain sunny most of the time. Torrential rains are rare in Bali so that you can visit during the wet season as well.
The peak season is from June to September, which is the holiday season in most western countries. Beaches are crowded during Christmas and Ramadan holidays as well.
Best Dive Season
You can dive in Bali throughout the year. However, September to November is the best season for diving, while April to June too is okay. December is reasonably good, but January to March is less suitable. For those keen on swimming with the sunfish (Mola Mola), August and September are the best because it is then that they are seen in Padang Bai and Lembongan. In Nusa Penida the diving season is from April till November and the peak season is from June till October.

How to Reach Bali
By Air
Bali is well-connected to many countries by air. There are direct flights to Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport, known as Denpasar International Airport (airport code DPS), from most Asian and European countries, America, and Australia. Flight time from Singapore to Bali is 2.5 hours and from Perth in Australia it is 3 hours. From Hong Kong it is 4.5 hours and from Sydney about 5.5 hours. There are domestic flights to Denpasar International Airport from all important cities in Indonesia. Flight time from Jakarta to Bali is about 1.5 hours.
By Road
From Jakarta and Java, you can either take a bus or rent a car and drive yourself to Bali. It is possible to travel by train up to Banyuwangi where railway track ends. From there, there are ferry services to Bali.
By Boat
There are regular ferry services to Bali from Lombok, Java, Sumatra etc. You can also travel to Bali from Singapore by ferry, by travelling first to Batam, from Batam to Jakarta, from Jakarta to Surabaya, and from there by bus to Bali.
Getting Around in Bali
There are many shuttle bus services between the important tourist destinations in Bali. Taxis are also available aplenty. Another option is hiring a bemo, which is a minivan that operates like a shared taxi. However, bemos are not available everywhere. Many hotels and resorts offer package tours for sightseeing, and this is one of the easy ways to go around Bali since it is a pretty big island.
If you want to explore most of Bali, the best thing to do is hire a car and drive yourself, or hire a car and a driver. It will take about one and a half hours if you drive direct from Sanur to Candidasa. From Candidasa you can drive to Amed and from there to Lovina, and then to Pemuteran, and so on.
Things to Remember While Travelling in Bali
Clothes
In Bali’s tropical climate, it is best to wear loose, light clothes that covers up to ankles and wrists. That will reduce the risk of sunburn and mosquito bite. While diving also, it is safer to wear a long-sleeved dress as protection against lice, jellyfish etc.
Health Precautions
Your medicine chest must ideally contain a first aid kit and basic medicines for fever, headache, diarrhoea etc. If you are travelling in the rainy season of November till April, you must carry an umbrella. Even if you are wearing long-sleeved dresses, it is safer to use sun block while under the hot sun and to use mosquito repellent in areas where mosquitoes are aplenty.
Driving
For driving within Bali, you must have an International Driving Permit (IDP) besides the driving license issued by your country. The permit can be procured from a motoring club of the tourist’s home country. For driving a motorbike, you must have motorcycle endorsement on the IDP.
It is important to honk the horn clearly while turning at curves or driving on mountain roads.
Balinese Culture
As in most Asian countries, in Bali only right hand is used for eating, shaking hands, giving something, and receiving something. Footwear has to be removed before stepping into a temple or any place considered sacred. Photographing things inside a place of worship requires prior permission. Visitors to the country should follow these etiquettes correctly.
Once in a year Bali observes a day of silence (Nyepi Day) when people remain silent and refrain from all activities including checking out of a hotel. Nyepi Day of 2017 is March 28, and that of 2018 is March 17.
Passport and Visa Requirements
While entering the country, your passport should be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry and it must have at least one blank page. People from places like Brunei, Hong Kong, Ecuador, Chile, Malaysia, Morocco, Peru, Macau, Singapore, Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand do not require a visa for staying in Indonesia up to 30 days. In many other cases, no visa is required other than getting the passport stamped on entry. However, if you want to live in a private residence in Bali or remain in the country for more than 90 days, you have to get registered with the immigration department.
You must have a ticket for an onward journey or return journey, and show proof to the authorities that you have enough money to support yourself while staying in Bali.

What is the best rate for the month and what is included? Thank you.
Dear,
If it’s not too late I’d still like to wish you all a wonderful 2018! J
I’m Evelien from Eef Explores.com – a fanatic travel blogger & content creative originally from the Netherlands who has been living in Australia since January 2016.
From 1-15 February I’ll be traveling around Bali with my best friend Florrie. Whilst looking at the most beautiful places to stay in Bali I came across your Villas, and I instantly fell in love with them. I’d like to know if you’re interested in hosting us in return for Instagram exposure and content creation.
I realize you must be getting emails from travel bloggers, influencers, content creators, instagrammers, or whatever-we-like-to-call-ourselves all the time, and sadly nowadays half of them are ‘fake’ with purchased followers and likes. So what makes me different than the rest, and how can you tell I’m ‘real’?
I started my blog and Instagram in December 2015, when ‘becoming an influencer for all the free stuff’ wasn’t a thing yet. Eef Explores was born from of my greatest passion: travel. And along the way I discovered I also have a great passion for photography in which I found Instagram to be the perfect channel to share my pictures. People picked up and liked what I do, and now, two years later, I have a crazy amount of more than 100.000 people following me on my travels. I sometimes still have to pinch myself to see if this is real 🙂
2018 is going to be the year of Influencer Marketing. Not only is it a very affordable (dare I say cheap?) way to market your accommodation, you can also be sure that it gets seen by many people who trust the influencer promoting the accommodation. I carefully pick the brands or hotels I work with (you’ll never see me advertise some random teeth whitening product) and that’s why I’m reaching out to you.
I invite you to take a look at my Media Kit for an overview of previous collaborations with brands, info about my social channels and the different ways we can work together.
Looking forward to discussing the possibilities and of course I’d also be open to hear if you have any other ideas yourself 🙂
Cheers,
Evelien

do you have shop selling shells
Hello Steven,
Shells are not supposed to be removed from the sea as they are also part of eco system even if the organism that created it is no longer present.
So please be responsible and refrain from buying shells or collecting shells anywhere in the world.
It is also illegal to remove shells from Komodo National park and surroundings. You may get fined if they find shells when you are at the airport.
Let’s preserve this beautiful place for future generations 🙂
Enjoy your holidays!

My clients, the Clyma family, were due to stay with you for one week from Friday 29th June but were disrupted leaving New Zealand because of volcanic activity.
An offer was made to extend credit to the value of their booking if they chose to rebook within the next 12 months.
Could you please advise if that is still valid?

Hi,
My name is Brooke, content creator & photographer at Brooke Art Studio. I’m headed to Canggu, Bali in November & I’m interested in your accommodation. I see that you have some availabilities for when I’m in the area. I work with beautiful boutique accomodation, like yours, to showcase their unique offering, through the creation & curation of content for their social media & online platforms. As you may know, the online world of visual, digital and social media is the primary way the many demographics consume media. I can provide you with some amazing photos & content of your accommodation, in exchange for a complimentary stay. I’ve just come from Europe, where I worked with accomodations all over the Mediterranean. I’m really interested in working with your Villa & creating some original unique content.
Is this the best way to discuss a collaboration?
Kindest regards, look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to arrange a reservation for 5 bedrooms? I believe each villa has 4 bedrooms but it seems there is more than 1 villa in the property. If this arrangement is possible, it would be helpful if you could also provide a quotation. The dates are Oct 20, 2018 – Oct 23, 2018 and we are a total of 6 guests
We are a Dutch family, living in Sydney. I will come to Bali together with my twinboy from 8 years. We will come from around 17 October till 7 or 17 April. Our budget is USD 3000 per month. I got your name via my friend who was renting your place for the same price 2 years ago. Our kids will go to the Canggu Community School, so this would be the perfect location. I hope to hear soon from you. Warm regards, Iris
Hi,
Trust all is well. We’re planning a trip to Bali in December with the family to celebrate my 50th. We’d like to get some views on prices for a villa that could accommodate 17 people from 22 December to 26 December.
We’d need about 5 rooms. We have four children aged 11, 13, 15, 17.
Are you able to suggest some places and prices please? Just to let you know that it’s my shout so the budget is not that great!
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks,
Satheesh

Dear marketing team,
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lien Verwimp, head travel journalist for the quality platform.
We’re a high-end magazine about a quality lifestyle and “the good life” in the Netherlands and Belgium. Every two months, Chapeau Magazine distributes 20.000 copies of our magazine. 110.000 people then read about luxury food, fashion, business and travel.
Next to the print magazine, we have a strong online platform as well. Chapeau gets around 50.000 new unique visitors per month – all people interested in our main topics (see above: food, fashion, business, cars, travel and beauty). I preserve the travel page on the website. You can check it out here: https://www.chapeaumagazine.com/nl/travel/liens-travel/.
From April 21st until April 25th, I’ll be traveling to Canggu to highlight one specific luxury villa. I’ll write an extensive online article about an accommodation that fits our readers’ interests best, to inspire them to book a stay in 2019. And as I was browsing the internet, I bumped upon the Amore Villa, which seems like a very good match with the sophisticated readers of Chapeau Magazine.
Some examples of accommodations I already worked with: Amare Marbella, Kruisherenhotel Maastricht, W Barcelona, Apollo Amsterdam, AMA Andalusia Hotel, Terhills luxury hotel.. This all resulted in a high interest of bookings from our readers.
So my question is: would you be interested in an exchange deal? Do you see a possibility for a complimentary stay in exchange for extensive online covering of the villa and its facilities?
Looking forward to hearing from you! Let me know if you need any more information from my side. Wishing you a nice day ahead.
Kind regards,
Lien

Hello.
My brother, Chris Panfil, is currently a guest at your resort. His birthday is on Monday, January 7th, and he’s there with my Mom, Helga Panfil, who’s birthday is next week also. I’m wondering if it’s possible to send a special gift to them? I’m thinking about a massage and a bottle of champagne.
Is that something I can organize with you and pay for with my credit card?
where is your exact location?
I made a booking through booking.com for November 2019 with the option to pay at the property. I have given my credit card details but do not authorise any payments to be made until I check in. Please confirm this ASAP. Regards

Dear Madam, Dear Sir,
My name is Ben Huart and I am the founder of Go+ Club, a new hotel collection and loyalty program dedicated to independent hotels in Asia and Europe, selected for their excellence and specific attention to guest service. Only a few hotels per city or touristic area will be selected to join us.
The program will be launched in September 2019 and we are now working on the development of our partners network. Our ambition is to bring to independent hotels the best possible loyalty product to compete against the hotel chains and increase their profitability.
Regarding the fees, this program will be 100% free to join for both hotels and guests and will have no long-term commitment (only a renewable 1 year commitment). Furthermore, we have specific conditions for hotels who wish to join us before our launch in September 2019: no fixed fee, no entrance fee, only a simple and clear commission on the reservations we bring to you.
We have already signed hotels in Thailand and Vietnam, and also in Europe in Belgium, France, Czech Republic, Italy, etc.
We have identified Amore Villas as a hotel that might suit our selection criteria and would be very much interested to present you our program and discuss a potential cooperation. In this context, I will be visiting Bali over the coming weeks and was wondering if you or someone from your team could find time to meet.
I am, of course, at your full disposal for any question you might have and very much look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Benjamin Huart

Hallo, na vele keren op Bali geweest te zijn blijft het bij mij kriebelen daar te wonen. Ik weet dat het niet makkelijk is,en niet geschoten altijd mis. In Lovina staan vele mooie villa’s te koop en volgens Balinese vrienden de beste plek om nu iets te kopen. Al meerdere villa’s en stukken grond bekeken daar, en dan komen de regeltjes, door het bos zie ik de bomen niet meer en daar zijn jullie goed in.
Onze wens, een kleinschalige vakantievilla of park waar we zelf kunnen wonen en inkomsten kunnen halen uit verhuren van kamer en samen met onze Balinese vriendin/chauffeuse mooie trips organiseren. Of met de locale bevolking leuke dingen organiseren zoals talencursus of offerbakjes maken of…..mensen kennis laten maken met het echte Bali. Yogalessen etc. We willen de Balinezen aan werk/inkomsten helpen en hoeven er niet rijk van te worden. Als we in ons eigen levensonderhoud kunnen voorzien is dit prima.
Kunnen jullie ons hiermee helpen?
Hello,

Hallo mijn naam is Yvonne, wij hebben 15.3 are grond te koop met daarop een huis wat enige renovatie moet ondergaan als men dit wil.
Wellicht kunt u ons hierbij helpen.
Met vriendelijke groet,
Yvonne Seijs
Bali sounds amazing and it seems like it has a lot of great dive spots. I will have to add it to my bucket list. I’d love to kayak there sometime, too.
