Best places to stay in Bali

Bali, the Island of the Gods, is known for its mesmerising landscape with a warm and friendly character. Its turquoise waters with curvy coastlines, volcanoes with lush green canopies, staggered pagodas and temples, and lively markets are bound to inspire you every time you visit Bali. As a popular destination for tourists from all over the world, it is well-known for its high level of service and friendly staff at all hotels. Accommodation is not very expensive and you have a range of options from basic guest houses (Losmen) run by Balinese families to luxurious beach resorts, and privately-serviced beachfront villas that come with a driver and a cook.
