Sunset in Lovina
In Lovina you have greate possibilities for diving and snorkeling in the clear water. There are fish in any shape and any color.

In Kuta you can go surfing along side with people from all over the world and in the afternoon you can stay on the beach and watch the sun go down and the sky will take a pink an light blue shape over the mighty sea. Then it´s time for a very tasty dinner in the black warm night. The price for dinner is very affordable, so you can really eat, and eat, everything on the menu!

If you like handicraft I recommend that you go to Ubud in the central of Bali, because there is much to buy! The people of Bali make very nice wooden artifacts and silver jewellery and also textile art. So if you like shopping, this is the place to go! Ubud is also a beutiful place to visit becaurse it is up in the green mountains. Do you like to be taken care of? Go to a spa! This is so affordable that you can go several times! Please let them treat you as a princess or a prince!

Quick Tips:

Go now!

Best Way To Get Around:

If you go by taxi, take the blue taxi, that's the company you can trust. It is also very cheap to go by taxi! Take a whole day tour around the island!

Watch out for the hawkers! They are only making a living for themselves but they can also be a pain in your ass.

Please give some money to beggers! The people of Bali are poor and you are rich in their eyes! Remember that you are a guest in their country!

Palm BeachBest of IgoUgo

Hotel

It was a medium/good accomodation in my opinion. There was a double bed (grand lit) in our room and also WC and shower. In the hotel there was also a pool and a restaurant.

Kopi PotBest of IgoUgo

Restaurant

A nice bistro with good food! This is the place to go for a Mie Goreng and a Bintang Bear after the surf when you feel like taking it slow for a moment.

Hard Rock Cafe BaliBest of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "Hard Rock Café"

The Hard Rock Café in Kuta is a hideaway for Americans I think. The food is American and the prices are a little higher than in other restaurants. The food is good and the service also. A fun place to have dinner at.
