Bali travel information
Bali is the quintessential island holiday destination, boasting a well-developed tourist infrastructure and facilities. Years of tourism have resulted in a modern medical infrastructure, cuisine from around the world, and accommodation ranging from luxury hotel resorts to quiet bungalows.
Still, it’s best to take proper safety measures at night, especially in the large resort areas of Kuta and Sanur, where pickpocketing can be a problem. Following the recent Bali bombings, terrorism has been of much concern. Remember that all resorts frequented by Westerners are potential targets, not just Bali. Visit the Foreign & Commonwealth Office website for up-to date information before you leave.
