Where to Stay in Bali Stay in Kuta, Legian or Seminyak if you're looking for a beachfront hotel near the airport & a convenient location for touring around Bali's top attractions. Kuta is the prime nightlife, shopping & tourist area. Seminyak offers a more relaxed & upscale vibe. Meanwhile, Legian sits in the middle. Ubud in Central Bali is another area to consider if you want to get away from the beach/party scene & focus more on the cultural or natural sights of the island.

Remember to set your min/max price, travel dates, and sort by review ratings. I often book online with these trusted booking sites below for rock-bottom prices & convenient bookings. AgodaBooking.com Book sooner rather than later if you already have your dates set. Cheaper-priced rooms and hotels with high reviews tend to get fully booked faster, especially during busy days like weekends, holidays & peak tourist seasons.
