In Bali and looking for activities to do? Here are 10 must do activities while you are staying in Bali. Many of these activities are cheap or no cost at all!
1) Music and Dancing
Many countries are into music and dancing, and the same goes for the cultural people for Bali. The Gamelan will be played at festivals and ceremonies in which people are dancing to the beautiful flowing music. The dancers will be wearing costumes that are striking to the eye with all the colors and shining glitters that go in hand with the stories each dancer portrays of the Ramanaya with facial expressions and hand movements they have perfected. If you’re looking for these types of performances, there are many held in and around the Ubud area, so you don’t have to travel too far. Many tourists prefer to watch the beautiful Legong Dance that’s located in the Ubud Palace in the heart of Ubud. There are many other fun performances to see to watch such as the Kecak Dance and the Warrior Dance that are in different places throughout the town. Local Balinese, along with other tourists, are happy to watch the entertaining Shadow Play or Wayang Kulit shows during the evening if you’re out and about during the night and looking for something to see.
2) Treating yourself to a Spa or some Yoga
If you’re staying in the Ubud area you will come to find all the health resorts and world class spas in the area as these are all upcoming in Bali. You won’t be limited to one certain treatment as each facility uses indigenous products and natural herbs that offer many various treatments, each very enjoyable. It is encouraged to visit a spa if you are looking to take a breather from the world and zone in on yourself for once. All the relaxation each spa offers will be sure to give your mind a break from family and any stress related to work and such. Everyone is due for a massage, and luckily the various types offered include hot stones, Shiatsu, and Aryvedic from the Balinese traditions. If you’re looking for a more traditional treatment a good suggestion would be Lulur and Boreh, these two are the most common. You may not even have to leave your hotel as some have their own private spas, healthy meals, facials and foot massages. Yoga is another great way to relax and holistic resorts have programs there with residential teachers to guide you through the yoga program to ease your mind.
3) Go to the beach and hit the waves
Imagine walking on a beach that stretches on and on with beautiful white sand that comforts the soles of your feet. If you visit the many lovely beaches in Bali (including the most popular one Nusa Dua) you will get this luxurious feeling while you’re there. Not only will you be able to see the amazing white beaches but they come with secluded coves that may spark your interest. If you are planning on staying at a hotel along the beach, many come with nice restaurants that outlook the beautiful views of the ocean and some even with Beach Clubs. Since Bali is known to be one of the most famous places to visit for surfing, you may want to visit the Kuta and Uluwatu beaches that get some of the best waves.
