Family Fun and Adult Entertainment in Bali
For those looking to take a family based vacation, you’ll find all of the usual range of touristy activities on offer. Cruises, cycling, fishing, golf, horse riding, sailing, sports (traditional or water based) and snorkeling are just some of the family friendly forms of entertainment in Bali. Many hotels even go so far as to organize special child friendly activities for their guests (which is great for families who don’t necessarily want to spend all their vacation time together).
The more adult forms of entertainment in Bali don’t generally start until long after the sun has set. The nightlife in Bali is truly diverse, with a wide range of bars, restaurants and nightclubs catering to the myriad different tastes of the visiting tourists. Thing’s don’t really being to heat up until close to midnight, but when the party people of Bali get going, nothing but the rise of dawn will stop them.
Whilst most tourist areas provide night time entertainment in Bali, those looking to spend the majority of their vacation partying would be well advised to visit the Kuta region of the island(being sure not to miss out on the towns of Basangkasa, Legian and Seminyak when doing so). Kuta is where the true night animals of Bali come out to play, so if you’re looking for some moonlit fun then it is by far the best place to be.
