South Bali

This is the partying capital of Bali and arguably of the whole of south-east Asia. If shorts, singlets and lots of beer is your thing, look no further than Kuta. If you prefer a rather more sophisticated night on the town, then the options in Seminyak will appeal.

Legian Beach is a great place to learn to surf, either formally at the surf scool or informally with the local boys.

Seminyak is home to many top class spas where you can pamper yourself at prices a fraction of those you will pay at home.

Waterbom Park in Tuban, Kuta is one of the largest water theme parks in Asia and your children will love you for taking them here.
