The northern area of Legian bordering Seminyak offers a bit of an escape from the crowds and is also a popular surf beach.Most of the popular Legian hotels are on or close to the beach. The whole of Legian is no bigger than a few blocks in a large city, but despite its small size, this area has a very high profile with visitors due to the lovely beach frontage, and proliferation of mid-market hotels.

Seminyak

Seminyak is residential area on the west coast of Bali just north of Kuta and Legian. This area is very popular with resident expatriates and land and accommodation prices are amongst the highest in Bali. Plenty of luxury spas and hotels abound.

Denpasar is one of Indonesia´s most fully integrated and tolerant cities, the city has few charms, other than those quiet back alleyways where people are quite friendly. The most important government offices are located in a tree-shaded administrative complex of handsome reddish brick and grey stone. Industry is low-tech and non-polluting. Denpasar is actually best at night, when it´s not so hot and the individual kampung resume their normal rhythms. It seems the whole population is either directly or indirectly involved in the tourist industry, and you can easily engage people in conversation.

Sanur

Sanur is Bali's oldest upscale resort area and is a mature beach-side town. Despite the abundance of restaurants and accommodation, it has a quiet and relaxed feel to it.

Sanur can be divided in to 4 areas the north, Pantai, central and south. As Sanur was the post independence choice of most Dutch expatriots, it also has a slightly more cultural feeling than many of the other southern beach resort areas. Also, unlike Kuta / Legian, there are a large number of hotels that are actually on the beach (not separated from it by a road). Although there are a number of bars, it is not a young person entertainment area like Kuta. Sanur tends to attract more family groups.
