Synopsis

A handy, pocket-sized guide to the best of Bali's holiday hotspots, as well as field trips to regions less explored. Bali Pocket Precincts is your curated guide to Bali's best cultural, shopping, spa and dining experiences. Bali is known for its tumbling rice paddies, colorful culture and world-class surf. But delve deeper and you'll discover that every area of the island has its own distinctive personality. Artistic Ubud is home to centuries-old temples, yoga shalas galore and some of the most inventive plant-based restaurants in the world. On the south coast, Seminyak is all about designer boutiques and vibey beach clubs with swim-up bars and sunset soundtracks. Head north and volcano bagging, rice-terrace trekking and exceptional scuba diving all become possibilities. Yet on top of all this, Bali's popularity as a holiday destination is due, at least in part, to the remarkably warm nature of the locals. Their magical living culture is palpable around every corner, from the incense-infused offerings to the elaborate temple ceremonies. And tourists are welcomed with open arms. As well as detailed reviews and maps for major attractions through to hidden gems, Bali Pocket Precincts includes a selection of field trips that encourage you to get off the beaten path and visit areas further afield including North Bali and the neighboring island of Lombok. Slip this guide into your pocket and head off on an adventure, experiencing the most fascinating sights and surrounds like a local.
