Fun for<br />

all ages<br />

Due to its protective reef and<br />

breakwaters, Sanur Beach, on the<br />

island’s east coast, is a favoured<br />

hangout for families. The entire<br />

5 kilometres stretch is quiet and<br />

relaxed, with several restaurants,<br />

cafés and shady palm trees.<br />

When it comes to waterparks, the<br />

kids couldn't even dream of one as<br />

cool as the sprawling Waterbom<br />

Waterpark. The best in Asia, it covers<br />

all sorts of heights and frights, with<br />

slides that are a whopping 250 metres<br />

long and others that reach speeds of<br />

70 kilometres per hour.<br />

<strong>Bali</strong> Hai Reef Cruises offer a little<br />

bit of something for every family<br />

member. Departing Benoa Harbour,<br />

the full day luxury cruise sails to<br />

Lembongan Island where it moors<br />

alongside a purpose-built pontoon.<br />

With unlimited banana boat rides, a<br />

35 metre water slide, refreshments<br />

and village excursions, there’s<br />

something for everyone.<br />

More bang for<br />

your rupiah<br />

When in <strong>Bali</strong>, you’d be a fool not to<br />

indulge in a massage. Or several.<br />

In places such as Legian, Seminyak<br />

and Kuta, there’s a massage<br />

boutique every 50 metres. Simply<br />

walk in and enjoy a full body onehour<br />

massage for as little as $12.<br />

Food and drinks are also a bargain,<br />

with bottled water costing little<br />

more than $1, and local warungs<br />

with menu items starting from $5.<br />

Sanur Beach is one of the best<br />

places in <strong>Bali</strong> to partake in yoga<br />

because cheap rates are a walletfriendly<br />

$15 per lesson. And if<br />

it’s outdoor pursuits you crave,<br />

surfing lessons can be sought for<br />

$8 and you’ll get a full two hours.<br />

Or if you’d prefer an underwater<br />

experience, rent a mask and snorkel<br />

in the Coral Triangle Region for less<br />

than $15.<br />

Come home<br />

restored<br />

<strong>Bali</strong> offers an infinite amount of<br />

feel-good wellness options. From<br />

spas to cheap massages, reflexology<br />

and yoga, it’s all about finding your<br />

inner calm.<br />

<strong>Bali</strong> is popular for its coffee (Kopi<br />

Luwak) which they incorporate<br />

into many spa treatments due to<br />

its anti-inflammatory properties.<br />

Chakras are meant to stimulate<br />

your ‘third eye’ and open a portal<br />

into your soul, but if that’s all a bit<br />

intense, try one of <strong>Bali</strong>’s numerous<br />

rooftop spas, with bars and resident<br />

DJs to complement a full menu of<br />

treatments.<br />

Enjoy Qigong (a form of meditation<br />

that incorporates both Yoga and<br />

Tai Chi), or if you’re a hands-on<br />

individual, try a silver workshop<br />

in Ubud, where you’ll learn<br />

traditional <strong>Bali</strong>nese silver-smithing<br />

to create your own bespoke piece of<br />

jewellery.<br />
