Where to stay in Bali?

---

Those who’ve travelled to Bali a fair bit would probably already have Bali cities they love staying in – Canggu is popular with cafe-hoppers, while Ubud generally draws those who prefer culture over the touristy crowds of Kuta. If this is your first time in Bali, we’ve broken down Bali’s best neighbourhoods and what they’re known for.

---

Ubud – Best Bali area for nature, arts & culture

---

Anyone who’s watched Eat, Pray, Love will recognise Ubud as where Julia Roberts’ character spent much of her soul-searching journey. And for good reason too – this neighbourhood is filled with zen natural gems. Think rice paddies and waterfalls like the Tegalalang Rice Terrace and Tegenungan Waterfall. Ubud is also known to be an arts and culture hub, and you’ll find plenty of art galleries showcasing the work of Balinese artists here.

---

Uluwatu – Best Bali area for surfing

---

The coastal area of Uluwatu doesn’t just offer stretches of white sand beaches – it’s where you’ll also get Bali’s best waves for surfing. It’s no wonder you’ll find plenty of Bali’s surf schools in the area, where you can pick up the sport in just a day. If you’d rather admire the waves than ride them, Uluwatu also has a number of beach clubs that offer gorgeous cliffside views of the ocean.

---

Canggu – Best Bali area for cafe-hopping

---

If you’re always on the hunt for new cafes and restaurants, then Canggu is the town to stay in when you’re in Bali. You’ll find cafes on just about every corner here, serving all sorts of food like plant-based brunches and Balinese fusion. Many of these cafes also operate as co-working spaces, so this spot is popular with digital nomads too.

---

Kuta – Best Bali area for nightlife

---

When it comes to Bali after dark, it’s Kuta that comes to mind for those who eat, sleep, rave, repeat. Kuta is home to a plethora of bars and nightclubs, including established ones like White Rock Beach Club, Engine Room, and HQ Beach Club. With thumping beats and cheap house pours right next to the beach, we understand why people call Kuta “paradise”.

---

Seminyak – Best Bali area for fine dining

---

The other party central in Bali is Seminyak, which is home to acclaimed drinking holes Potato Head and KU DE TA. But Seminyak is also getting recognition for its growing number of fine dining restaurants here. There’s Sangsaka that does a modern take on Indonesian cuisine, as well as Mauri that serves what can only be described as contemporary Italian.

---

Sanur – Best Bali area for family-friendly activities

---

If you’re vacationing with kids in tow, you might want to skip rowdy Canggu and Kuta and head straight to Sanur instead. The beaches here are quieter and offer tons of watersports to try out – snorkelling, kayaking, and paddle boarding are easy options for kids to pick up. Up on the coast, you’ve got markets to explore, such as the Sindhu Beach Market and Sindhu Night Market for trinkets and souvenirs.

---

Nusa Dua – Best Bali area for luxury resorts

---

With hotels like Sofitel, St. Regis, and Ritz-Carlton parked here, it’s no surprise Nusa Dua is the luxury hot spot of Bali. And these are just the tip of the iceberg to the number of 5-star resorts here. Many of these beachfront properties offer in-house spas, private pool villas, and even access to a private beach away from the crowd.
