Bali continues to grow in popularity as a vacation destination. This should not be surprising since this wonderful little island, which you can drive around the coastline in just one day, packs a powerful punch when it comes to things to see and do. In fact, we couldn’t possibly even make a dent in the things you can see and do, and experience in Bali, but a recent report listed the following as the top ten things to do while you are in Bali.

Nusa Lembongan – Laid-back Nusa Lembongan is free of cars, noises and hassles. The local population is around 7000, and most live in two small villages, Lembongan and Jungutbatu. It’s a delightful place to visit.

Ubud – Leading up towards the mountains, Ubud is perched on the gentle slopes. Ubud’s focus is on the amazing Balinese culture and this is a great place to come and experience it.

Kuta – This is the most fascinating of destinations. On one hand, this is the famous holiday of fun in the sun. A narrow lane of restaurants and bars are ready to make your vacation memorable. On the other hand you can tuck yourself away in a beautiful villa and enjoy your own private pool, in-house private spa treatments, luxurious accommodations, and so much more.
