South of Bali

The south part of Bali is dedicated for you who love party after visiting beautifull temples of Tanah Lot and Uluwatu or doing Surfing  on the big wave.  You can take time relax on the hotel  and  going to seafood restaurant on long of the Jimbaran beach before having an international flight.

Almost all of the international hotels  chain stand on the south part of Bali. Some hotels are constructed on the rocky hill because they have a beautifull view on the ocean.  South direction for Balinese people is not a good direction. It is a symbol of devil.  South of the island is a rocky and the soil is not fertil. The Balinese did not want to stay and have a land in that area.   Before 1970, south of Bali was nothing. The region was almost inhabited.  After 1970, where international tourist came to Bali and they enjoyed their holiday in the south part of Bali in Kuta and Sanur.  little by little the land in southern part of the island was sold to tourist.
