Where to stay in Bali

Bali is not overwhelming in size, but with numerous interesting and diverse places to pick from, it can be hard to choose where to stay in Bali. To help you a little, we have created this "Where to stay in Bali" guide.

Take a look at the table at the bottom of this page for a quick overview and learn more about Bali's different destinations by using the navigation on the left of this page.

Bali is one of more than 17,000 islands in the Indonesian archipelago and is located just over 2 kilometres (approximately 1.5 miles) from the eastern tip of the island of Java and west of the island of Lombok. The island measures approximately 144 kilometres (90 miles) from east to west and 80 kilometres (50 miles) north to south.

Bali can be divided into six main areas

South Bali includes Kuta, Western Bukit and Uluwatu, Canggu, Denpasar, Jimbaran, Legian, Nusa Dua, Sanur, Seminyak, and Tanah Lot. Here you are in the most visited part of the island by far, with tourists flocking to world renowned Kuta Beach and chic Seminyak.


Central Bali includes Ubud, Gianyar, Bedugul, and Tabanan. This region is the cultural heart of Bali and the central mountain range.
West Bali includes Negara, Gilimanuk, Medewi Beach, and Pemuteran. You have here access to ferries to Java and the West Bali National Park.


North Bali includes Lovina, and Singaraja. You can enjoy quiet black sand beaches and the old capital city.


East Bali includes Amed, Besakih, Candidasa, Kintamani, Klungkung, Mount Agung, Padang Bai, and Tirta Gangga. Here, you can discover another atmosphere with laid back coastal villages, an active volcano and the mighty Mount Agung.


Southeastern Islands includes Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Penida, and Nusa Ceningan. These quiet offshore islands in the southeast are very popular for diving activities.
