The Indonesian island of Bali is a popular destination not only for holidaymakers and tourists who seek out relaxation and serenity but also for the intrepid traveller whose interest has been piqued by the Indonesian culture, major landmarks and communal harmony. Given the natural beauty of the island, regardless of what you wish to experience in Bali, residing in a Nusa Dua resort will scarcely be regretted for hotels such as The Laguna Resort & Spa Bali provides guests with the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful island of Bali in style as well as the run of a private beach.
The island of Bali is home to a tremendous number of sites which are natural as well as cultural. The one thing they all have in common is that they are all spectacular! For a truly amazing view, make your way to Uluwatu Temple and be mesmerised by the temple that is perched on a large limestone cliff in the Bukit Peninsula. Believed to have been constructed during the 11th century, an iconic and unforgettable view of the Uluwatu Temple overlooking the ocean can be obtained by hiking to the top of a nearby cliff or ground. For those who enjoy hiking, another trek can be made to Mount Batur in Kintamani. The mountain is actually an active volcano and the surrounding natural beauty is best experienced during sunrise. Therefore, a trek to reach the summit by six in the morning is recommended and will definitely not be regretted.
Deciding to make an excursion to Ubud is also an option for a traveller who seeks to see as much of Bali as possible. For those who are not convinced, perhaps the fact that Eat, Pray, Love travelled through here might tempt them. Ubud acts almost as a microcosm of Bali ranging from temples and museums to tranquil paddy fields and beautiful parks. All in all, Bali is a beautifully diverse island and discovering the hidden gems of is an exciting experience that is very well worth it.
