Travelers who are drawn to Bali often have at least a couple of top priorities for their holiday. Many imagine spending time at the beach, going snorkeling, surfing, scuba diving, fishing or sailing, and they also imagine spending days in the mountains, perhaps hiking up a volcanic peak for sunrise. The reasons for your interest in Bali and in Ubud are probably not entirely unique, but youre also unlikely to know all about the Ubud tour and travel options that the island offers. There are simply too many fun and exciting things to do, and too many beautiful things to see, to keep track of it all.

We will definitely create a list of common and simple things to take with you on your trip to Bali. But first, let us discuss some general ideas about Bali, what to do and where to go to have the best time possible while on the Island of the Gods.

Bali is great because while it is close to the equator the diverse geography creates a varied weather pattern across the island. It is essential to spend some time at or near the beach while in Bali. The entire coast line is extraordinary and varied. There are white and black sand beaches, coves, rocky shores, bays, crashing waves, tranquil pools and everything in between.

There is a ton of cool places to shop. There are lots of neat crafts, interesting housewares, artworks, carvings, textiles and other unique boutique items available on the island. You can buy designer goods and you can buy hand-made batik. There are wood and stone as well as metal and tribal items like masks and drums. You can find a lot of nice things to buy across the region, but Bali is exceptional.

Good food is not to be missed while in Bali. From top notch hotel restaurants, five-star dining, street stalls, fast food, ethnic, chic and everything you can and cannot imagine, Bali has it all. Go out and find it. Make a plan to try something new. You could live in Bali a lifetime and not try it all. The quality and variety is something to behold.

Party time is also high quality. Ubud Villas has a lot of shows, theatre, performances, ceremonies, dances, concerts and plenty of live, DJ and other types and styles of

music. Many well-known foreign bands visit Bali regularly to play and many cover bands make a fun night out with your friends or family. Entertainment is plentiful in all forms and for everyone. From kids to teens and adults, both married and single, young and old, everyone can find something fun to do especially at night.

Massage, yoga and spa are definitely a must do activity in Bali Villas. Not only are the trained hands of Balis masseuses blissful and affordable, but the variety of treatments, packages and high quality of service is extraordinary. There is no doubt Bali is a yoga paradise.

If sitting in a spa or by the pool is too lethargic for you, then try an adventure activity. Trekking, biking, climbing, canyoneering, horseriding, elephant riding, seeing African animals, swimming with dolphins and rafting are all easy and fun to do in Bali. Furthermore, water sports are abundant. Surfing, swimming, snorkeling, diving, yachting, sailing, banana boat, parasailing and even submarine rides are all popular and readily available.

We would be remiss in our duty if we did not mention the extraordinary Balinese culture. The local people are so loving, friendly and easy going it is hard not to fall in love with this place. Checkout an amazing 1,000 year-old temple by the sea, on a cliff, in a forest, on a mountain or in a lake! Venture into any small village and catch a glimpse of intricately carved doorways, statutes and temples. If you are lucky (you really wont need much luck), you will see an impromptu procession, festival, ceremony or performance. The fascinating dress, customs and art of this interesting people is everywhere you look. Go check it out by visiting to-: www.villaamrita.com
