WHERE TO STAY
Bali, as it's fast becoming a more popular tourist destination, has a host of different kinds of accommodations, from over-water bungalows to five-star hotels and resorts, with more on the way. So, it's possible to find something that suits your desires, with a little research. The southern tip of Bali is more developed and as a result offers more in the way of resort-style accommodations, shopping, dining and other activities. More remote areas have fewer choices. Check out the accommodation lists at balitourismboard.com and bali.com for more complete information.
