Bali is probably best known for its beaches and the hustle and bustle of Kuta, which can be a great place for socialising, shopping and bars. But there are plenty of other areas to explore, from the lush tropical countryside surrounding Ubud, to the quiet village of Sidemen on the east side of the island to Canggu’s trendy style on the west, or the relaxed atmosphere of Pectau Village and nearby Bingin beach. So the best place to stay really depends on the type of holiday you want – including the accommodation.
