9 days in Bali Itinerary

Formerly a sleepy fishing village, the beach resort town of Kuta now represents one of Indonesia's most popular tourist destinations.

Take a break from the city and head to Kuta Beach - Bali and Jimbaran Bay. Get some cultural insight at Tanah Lot Temple and Threads of Life. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Kuta: Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary (in Ubud) and Uluwatu Temple (in Pecatu). There's lots more to do: kick back and relax at Pantai Sanur, look for gifts at Nyaman Boutique, browse the different shops at Beachwalk Shopping Center, and stroll through Nusa Dua Beach.
