6 Best Tips To Have A Great Weekend Getaway in Bali
Bali
is one of most Weekend destinations because
of its culture, landscape and leisure activities. For years the island has been
everyone’s favorite destination and is always packed with visitors, especially
during high season and weekend.
If
you plan to go to Bali for a long
weekend, consider these tips below to ensure that you have a memorable weekend
on the island.
1. The best to arrive late at night or early morning
Traffic from
the airport can be at its worst during the
long weekend. So the very best advice I would give is plan your arrival and the
trip is early-morning.
It’s best to
arrange your airport pick up with your hotel or private transportation, since
the airport taxis can be hard to find so early.
2. Stay
in a single area
Traffic in
Bali can be very challenging during long weekends, so traveling around the
island in your own vehicle is not a good idea. Hire a private driver include a car is the
best advice since most of the tourist drivers are trained and included
insurance.
Staying in one area and explore it by foot, it
could be exciting to explore the area and meet local people. Staying in Sanur, Seminyak, Canggu, Ubud can
be a good idea for each of those places has distinct characteristics.
Seminyak and
Canggu are are the paradise shopping, where you can explore boutique shops,
high-end restaurants, gorgeous beaches and thriving mixed communities. While
Sanur is still a charming village that will stun you with its long stretches of
white beach, tranquil neighborhood and beautiful seaside cafes. And Ubud offers
its culture and arts from different styles of the artists.
3. Avoid the
main tourist area
It’s better
to avoid Nusa Dua, Downtown Denpasar, downtown Kuta, Ubud’s Monkey Forest and
Kuta Beach during the long weekend.
Why not
explore East Bali or West Bali, Nusa Lembongan? Nusa Lembongan and its
neighboring island of Nusa Ceningan with their fantastic marine life and
original culture. You can visit some temples in Karangasem regency, mother
temple Besakih and learn more about Balinese culture, and enjoy scenic rides on
the way.
4. Plan ahead for some activities
Instead getting
stuck in traffic, you can try to do more activities like mountain bike, hiking,
snorkeling, diving, surfing, and cooking class, and yoga class.
If you would
like to enjoy underwater activities, you can stay along the beach, so it should
be your best chance to explore the ocean by staying close to diving/snorkeling
points (Amed,Menjangan island, Jemeluk) . East Bali is well known as the best
area to stay in since you can easily go to Jemeluk, Amed and Padang Bai without
having to worry about traffic.
You can also
explore other interesting things like trying Bali’s best spas, signing up for a
cooking class, renting a bicycle and strolling around Sanur, Horse back riding, paragliding, kayaking in a
mangrove forest and many more.
5. Avoid
the Nusa Dua and Bukit area
You don’t
want stuck in traffic. Unless you stay around
these areas without planning to go out which is fine.
If you do
love the beach, we recommend you stay there, then you can go beach hopping to
Bali’s most stunning beaches such as Pandawa beach, Suluban, Padang Padang,
Dreamland and many more.
6. Plan
ahead a trip itinerary
For example,
if you want to go Saturday night shopping, stay in Kuta or Seminyak by wearing
a comfortable pair of shoes. You don’t need a driver really, you can stroll the
beaches and the streets by foot. It is
really fun and exciting!
