The Indonesian island of Bali is a favorite destination for both
adventurers and those in need of a little relaxation. The waters off the
coast of Bali's white beaches are an ideal spot for diving, while the
dense jungles, teeming with monkeys and hidden stone temples, call out
for exploration. Hike the rugged path to the summit of Mount Batur, and
your effort will be rewarded with a stunning view. Then coax your sore
muscles back into action with a massage at one of Bali's many luxury
spas.
Bali's natural beauty, together with exceptional accommodation and
dining venues, make it a perfect place for a honeymoon. Idyllic vistas
over tropical shores, cool green forests with gentle breezes and
memorable views from cliff tops are waiting to be discovered by
lovebirds escaping to this island.
Here are some among the many
tours and dining choices available on the island that you should add to
your list of romantic experiences. Be it a sunset dinner cruise with the
crimson sky gradually revealing twinkling stars or the outbound nature
for a truly adventurous yet romantic experience together, find your love
kindle on the island.
Bali's beaches are best during the dry season, from about April to October. During this period at beaches on the western coastal areas, such as Kuta, Seminyak, Legian, Cangu and Jimbaran, erosion is minimal and the lack of wind or offshore winds keep the beaches clean and relatively calm. During the wet season, onshore winds deposits flotsam and garbage on the west facing beaches and constant clean up is needed. In addition heavy rains can deposit runoff around the beaches, particularly around run-off streams that flow into the ocean.
Nusa Dua and Sanur beaches are less affected by seasonality, although the beach strip from the Melia Hotel to Nusa Dus Beach Hotel experiences seasonal erosion in the winter, resulting in a very narrow strip of sand. The sand returns for the summer months.
The west facing beach from Cangu to Kuta can have rough surf and is known to have many rip currents and strong undertow. Safe swim areas are marked by flags and lifeguards are posted in some places.
Both Mengiat at Nusa Dua and Sanur areas are nice because there is an offshore reef that keeps heavy surf away from the beach. Occasional rough surf is the down side of the Kuta/Legian/Seminyak beach.
