Where to Stay in Bali?
From five-star hotels to backpacker hostels, beachside guesthouses to pool villas, there is something on the island to fit anyone's budget and preferences.
The Kuta area is an ideal location, with access to many beaches and modern amenities. The mixture of tourists and English-speaking locals here also means that communication is seldom a problem. The area also happens to be where most of our Bali dentists are based.
However, as Kuta can get busy during high season, you may want to think about booking a hotel in nearby Legian, Seminyak or Petitenget—which can be found by heading a few minutes north along the island's west coast.
Getting There
Denpasar International Airport is the arrival point for most travelers with flights arriving on a daily basis from major cities around the region. While it is possible to fly here directly from some Australian cities, it is likely that you will have to change in Jakarta, the Indonesian capital, if coming from further afield.
After arriving, it is easy to get a taxi to your hotel or hire a rental car from just outside the airport.
