Mar 11, The Day before Nyepi...

Mon, 11 Mar 2013 07:28:40 GMT

After weeks of preparations and days of ceremonies it is almost the day of silence in Bali. During Nyepi day Bali will be in a state of total shutdown. Everything will be closed, even the international Bali airport. There will be no traffic on the streets, electricity will be shut down and people will stay at home.

Travelers are expected to respect Nyepi day and should stay inside their room and keep noise to a minimum.

But before this happens there will be many parades today in which big and 'scary' Ogoh-Ogoh will scare off evil spirits and purify the island of bad things in life...

Today is the day to make lots of noise....!

During this event surfers from all parts of Asia will come to compete. While their aim is to win, the main essence of this exciting gathering is for everybody to have a great time.

At Balangan beach they are already ready to make the coolest surf pictures...

So if you have already planned your Bali holiday for July make sure you add this to your itinerary. Balangan beach can be easily reached if you are coming from Kuta area.

Mar 4, Which Bali beach...?

Mon, 04 Mar 2013 18:11:55 GMT

Every time we get a question about which Bali beach to go to we always find it difficult to recommend just one. To be honest there aren't many beaches in Bali where you can find very white sand, clear blue ocean and a room right at the beach. A beach in Bali either has one of these ingredients but seldom all three...

O.k. you have Nusa Dua but then you are far away from what we consider 'the real Bali'...

Nevertheless it is still worth the trip to Bali for its beaches as some of them are really stunning. Looking at this picture you have to agree right?
