Over the years Bali has become my home away from home. In fact, I’m eat pray love nusa penida planning my 2-month stint there this summer. Because I’ve had the chance to spend so much time on Indonesia’s most popular little island I’ve come to know Bali fairly well. Despite the fact that Bali is a relatively small island, there are actually a lot of different areas to visit.

And the confusing part is that they are all really different. So if you’re headed to Bali for the first time and you’re confused about where to stay hopefully this will give you a little insight. Whether you’re looking to glimpse stunning rice terraces, relax in a luxurious villa or surf the days away, Bali really does have something for everyone. Some people love Kuta and others loathe it. As for me, I’m somewhere in the middle. Kuta is basically the tourist epicenter of Bali.

It’s definitely the place where people go to party hard. But Kuta does have a lot going for it. There is a reason I tend to book a couple nights here to start and end my trips to Bali. Who’s it good for: Budget travelers, backpackers, beginner surfers, and party-goers.

It’s also super close to the airport so it’s great for anyone heading in or out of Bali. Which Part of Bali is For You? Seminyak is where most people stay during their Bali vacations. People talk about Seminyak like it’s worlds away from Kuta, but it’s literally located a few kilometers up the beach.

That being said it does have a distinctly different vibe. Things definitely feel a lot more upscale in Seminyak versus Kuta. The beach is a bit cleaner and a little less crowded. Who’s it good for: Pretty much anyone looking to lounge in luxury. While you can stay in Seminyak on any budget the more money you spend here the more fun you’re likely going to have!
