Haunted by recurrent images of a gorgeous shaded ocean bordered by a sandy beach? Wishing that you could get away from work after that tedious office assignment? Combine these two thoughts and start planning your trip to Bali! Belonging to Indonesia, Bali is an island between Java and Lombok and has enjoyed an increasing interest in recent years in terms of tourism. This stunning island is filled with panoramic sceneries that will be etched into your lives forever and opting to visit and stay at a beach resort in Bali is the best decision you can make all year.

When visiting the island, one need not be concerned about finding lavish accommodation for hotels such as the The Westin Resort Nusa Dua Bali provide tourists with the opportunity to enjoy their stay in Bali luxuriously. Having located suitable lodgings, one can be reassured that they will never be at a loss for things to do or places to see. The Bali coast alone is a spectacular panorama filled with shades of blue as the horizon stretches endlessly into the distance. The island also belongs to the Coral Triangle and thus, visitors will have the wonderful experience of observing some truly magnificent reefs. For those who hope to colour their stay in Bali even further with a wonderful insight into native life, the Celuk Village famous for its skilled craftsmanship in gold and silver, is close to the capital of the province.

Visiting Celuk Village will give travellers the opportunity to admire the unique ability of its inhabitants when it comes to craftsmanship. While the production and creation of jewellery came about thanks to a skilled family that lived in the area, in modern times the practice has spread fairly effectively across the village, garnering not only a national but an international reputation as well. The locals are very proud of their work and an assortment of jewellery ranging from gorgeous bangles and necklaces to delicate earrings and rings can be seen. Such jewellery bear the mark of the region as well and would therefore, make for ideal souvenirs for those who wish to forever keep a part of their holiday with them.
