Bali is a relatively big island. Almost every area on the island has its own unique characteristics that will amaze visitors and the following are some of the more popular areas.

• Kuta is the most famous area in Bali. It is full of modern buildings, nightclubs, bars, and an array of small shops. It has the most active nightlife on the entire island. The beach here has great shore breaks for beginner and intermediate surfers. Tourists usually enjoy sunny days relaxing on the beach sunbeds and the area is known for its affordability.
• Seminyak is popular for its expensive villas, fancy restaurants, and fashionable boutiques. The area offers the best of everything; from fine dining, shopping, to exclusive beach clubs. The Petitenget beach offers a quieter atmosphere compared to Kuta. After sunset, the area becomes livelier as the nightlife scene takes over. Ku De Ta and Potato Head Beach Club are some of the most popular entertainment venues.
• Canggu is a place for people who love healthy food, yoga, and surfing. It is the most popular area for expats to settle down. The up-and-coming area is full of paddy fields, small villages, and dark sand beaches.  It is a good surfer destination, but the massive shore breaks are not suitable for swimming. The nightlife in Canggu is somewhat laid-back.
• Sanur is the best place to bring a family with kids or elderly. It is the oldest resort town on the island. The beaches are huge with almost no waves, making it an ideal place for swimming and diving. Few restaurants will have live music in the evening but the area is not the place for nightlife.
• Nusa Dua is heaven for people who want to swim and sunbathe. Its white sandy beaches and clear blue water offer a scenic and incredible landscape. The area is full of westernized amenities and accommodations.  

Many people come to the island to relax under the sun on the beaches, have some outdoor adventures, explore the surrounding sea by hiring a boat, indulge in its cultural heritage, or have fun in its nightlife scene. While there are people who stay in Bali to get closer to nature and live a healthier lifestyle, there are also people who come to party on the island’s popular and exclusive nightclubs. The cost of living varies according to the area you choose to live in.
