Bali Pocket Precincts: A Pocket Guide to the Island`s Best Cultural Hangouts, Shops, Bars and Eateries, Pace Alison

Bali Pocket Precincts is your curated guide to Balis 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 youll 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, Balis 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.
