Bali Hideaways by Dave Waldheim
Driving down any country road
in Bali will be an interesting experience. For visitors that like to get
out of the touristic developed areas this will be the right choice. Self-drive
is the way to go for Bali visitors that want to really explore the island
and spend the night or multiple nights at new and different destinations.
This way travel will become a journey that holds surprises, a bit like
the Paris-Dakar route that is divided into some etapes. This way travelers
can actually hear the voice of nature, like real wind, the waves and the
entertaining Balinese frogs that usually having 'a concert' after each
rain. Flexibility usually opens doors and rewards with totally unexpected
new discoveries.
And if serenity becomes principal
consideration during a stay in Bali, just get on the unbeaten tracks or
into the hidden corners of Bali. This will be an intriguing adventure that
will entertain the sense of adventure more than anything else and enrich
your life style. Solitary accommodation is available nearly on every spot
of the etape as for example the following.
Bali has many secluded hideaways
for adventurers. Because it's territory isn't huge really you cannot get
lost like in the Australian outback. So, it is not worthy worrying about
that. When your itinerary has been arranged, you can start the island journey
from one of the hotels at the main resorts at Nusa Dua, Kuta Beach or Sanur
Beach, and then continue to the central part of the tropical island, to
Ubud. Ubud that is popularly known as international hideout of international
artists and the heart of art that has many luxury riverside accommodations.
Views of River Ayung or Petanu will be inviting every visitor to enter
the 'world of dreams encased with verdant lush tropical plants.
Cool temperature and composure
will probably delay the check out day, as it is absorbing. The more so
if travelers enjoy a spa treatment indulgence that releases tension and
relieves the mind burdened with stress and daily life.
Next destination could be
Candi Dasa and its surroundings in the Karangasem Regency that all have
accommodations to stay. Many activities can be done here, like fishing,
trekking, and taking adventures to fruit plantations or visit the native
of Bali, Tenganan Village.
Next stop are the northern
beaches already waiting for the adventurer on the next sojourn at Lovina
beach that can be passed through the eastern route of the island. This
location offers some luxury accommodation that is specially designed by
adopting some elements of the Balinese traditional architecture. Blended
with landscaped garden and surrounding atmosphere, it results in a convenient
hideaway spot.
Along the north shore there
are many small hideaway hotels where you can experience Bali basically
without running into other people at all.
Afterwards the journey continues
westwards by passing through the Bali Barat National Park area. Around
here there are limited eco-friendly accommodations that highlight the potential
of natural living. A wooden tower is operated to observe birds or animal
nearby. The resort is also strategically located that is close to the diving
site of Menjangan Island.
As a finish perhaps you would
like to spend more nights at the Medewi or Suraberata villages that each
also retains distinctive interest and provides accommodation. Both located
beach side and lay in the midst of swaying palm leaves. Surfing activity
is an added value offered by these locations.
Ultimately, visitors have
arrived at the starting line for a new adventure after passing through
the southern rice fields along the coastal area of Tabanan. What a great
trip it has been. Makes hungry for more.
Traveling Bali is exciting
and refreshing, and one such trip just makes you want to start again and
see it all over again.
