Compare Indonesia holidays

Indonesia is popular with backpackers who like to hop from beach to temple to mountain and then back to the beach. If you want to keep things simple and book a package holiday to Indonesia, beautiful, beguiling Bali is ideal.

Holidays in Indonesia are richly rewarding; you’ll have a lot to tell your friends about when you get home from a week or two visiting this Asian-spiced archipelago nation.

The beach paradise island of Bali is the main attraction for British holidaymakers. With its aquamarine waters and white sugar sands, it’s not hard to see why. But it’s not all about the beaches in Bali. This island, which is popular with families and couples as well as backpackers, is packed with culture, wildlife and history, as well as hundreds of options for active types.

The main beach resorts in the south of Bali are Kuta, Nusa Dua, Legian and Seminyak. On the north coast are the beach towns of Lovina and Pemuteran.

The main airport on the island is Bali Ngurah Rai International Airport, also known simply as Denpasar (DPS). In South Bali, it affords easy access to the southern beach resorts but is two to three hours away from Lovina and Pemuteran, making these resorts naturally quieter than those in the south.

Kuta is by far the biggest and busiest beach resort in Bali. The town is known for lively nightlife, great surf and eateries that wouldn’t look out of place on your local high street; although there are authentic Indonesian restaurants if you don’t fancy fried chicken or burgers.

Nusa Dua features a clutch of luxury beachside hotels, while Seminyak offers more in the way of shops and nightlife (though not on the scale of Kuta). Legian offers luxury hotels and simple beachside bungalows, plus a lovely beach and plenty of places to eat and drink.

Ubud is the cultural heart of Bali. Located amid the island’s lush and hilly interior, this welcoming town has a thriving arts scene, wonderful hotels, a popular monkey forest and is the place to go for traditional Balinese culture.
