 It is the island of magic and mysterious cults, colourful ceremonies and natural magnificence - here the nature is harmoniously combined with original hindi culture. The wide rice terraces amazing with the bright greens, coconut palm trees, volcanic mountain tops, tropical jungle, crystal-clear ocean, white sandy beaches, lakes and mysterious temples create a unique landscape of this island.

Bali is not too big - about 100 miles from North to South, and 175 miles from West to East. You can start after breakfast from your hotel in Nusa Dua, which is practically the southern most point of the island, drive up North, and have lunch in Singaraja, which is the northern most point of the island.
Let’s say few words about beaches. For those who prefers the best conditions Nusa Dua is considered the most elite resort of Bali. The hotels located at this southern coast have the status of 4-5 *, and are leaders of the international hotel business - Sheraton, Melia, Hilton, Hyatt. On Bali private beaches are forbidden because of religious traditions. The ocean for them is a sacred element, and access to it should be opened to anyone along the coast.
The tourism industry in Bali was devastated by the bombings a year ago. Now the island is looking to the future in trying to rebuild its fragile tourist sector. 
Figures from the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA)Â show that foreign direct arrivals to Bali in the first six months of the year stood at 383,408, down 20% on last year.
Another one name for Bali is The treasure of the Indonesian archipelago .
