When you are planning a trip or a holiday to Bali, one thing that will become obvious very quickly is that you have plenty of choice with regards to which particular part of Bali you can make your base. Such is the diversity across Bali with regards to its scenery, landscape, coastline, accommodation, activities, and attractions, it can seem like a game of Whack-a-Mole sorting through the pros and cons of each of them
Although having lots of choices is a nice problem to have, you ultimately need to make a final decision as to where you are going to stay whilst you are in Bali. It could also be the case that you decide to hedge your bets, and stay in one location for week 1 and another location for week 2.
To try and give you some pointers as to what each of the main destinations within Bali has to offer we have outlined some of their characteristics below. We obviously cannot include every single one, so here are the 5 which we will focus on
Jimbaran
Kuta
Legian
Seminyak
Ubud
You may have noticed we have listed them in alphabetical order so that you can choose purely on your preferences, rather than any favoured order we have.
Whether you plan on relaxing in Bali villas or you want to get out and explore the world, you will soon learn there are some gadgets you just can’t live without. While, of course, you won’t be going too far without a camera to capture all those memorable moments, there are also other gadgets that you should pack for your travels as well. We have included five must-have gadgets for travel below.
Anti-Theft Backpacks
While less necessary if you plan on checking into Bali villas and relax on white sand beaches, anti-theft backpacks are a must-have gadget in densely populated areas. Not everyone is averse to theft, and if you have “tourist” written all over you, you are more at risk. To reduce the risk of being a victim and losing your possessions, an anti-theft backpack can help. They include hidden zips and other safety features to deter would-be thieves.
Noise-Cancelling Headphones
Catching a bit of shuteye on a long-haul flight is easier said than done, especially if you end up being the lucky one sitting beside an unsettled baby. As long as that baby is not your own, you can mask the sound with noise-cancelling headphones. Put on your favourite tunes, a podcast, or even a movie, and drift off to sleep without even the sound of the food trolley being enough to wake you from your slumber.
Portable Power Bank
There is no denying that smartphones are one of the best inventions ever made, but their battery technology is not quite there yet. Therefore, it’s rare to get a full day’s use out of one battery charge. Rather than be stranded without your phone in an unfamiliar country, carry a portable power bank. Charge it back at the Bali villas or hotel room, then plug your phone in while you traverse the streets.
