Store your luggage around Bali with Bounce
When you think of Bali you probably think of an island getaway, and you would be right about that. It’s a world-class tourist destination with plenty of attractions, beaches, and beautiful sights to see. From surfing at Kuta Beach to hiking Mount Batur at sunrise, Bali is an outdoor lover’s must-experience destination. An Indonesian island, Bali is well-known for its music, art, and dance. In fact, the island hosts the Indonesian International Film Festival every year.
This island paradise is located in the Coral Triangle in the Bali Sea just west of Lombok and east of Java. The Coral Triangle covers parts of Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Timor-Leste, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. It has the largest number of marine species in the world, with over 500 coral species in its waters. This alone attracts thousands of visitors who like to go snorkeling or diving to get a good look at the fantastic marine life. Be sure to bring a waterproof camera if you’re planning a dive.
Another thing that makes Bali so popular with tourists is the beaches. From secluded bays to mesmerizing cliffs, swimming at any of the gorgeous beaches in Bali is a tremendous experience. Choose from the white sand of Sanur Beach or head to Lovina Beach with its black volcanic sand made from the cooled lava of Mt. Agung. Being so close to the equator, the temperature stays around 86 degrees all year long. It can be rainy from December until March during the monsoon season. If you're planning to spend lots of time on the beach, try to go in the summer or fall.
Bali is a destination that you won't soon forget. To make the most of your time here, be sure to bring along our Bali Visitor Guide to learn about tours, cooking classes, scuba diving and a lot more!

Shopping in Bali
Many people come to Bali just for the souvenirs. There are certain things here that you just cannot get anywhere else, like the Tenganan Pegringsingan Village woven fabric called “double ikat” which is only produced in Indonesia, Japan and India. Shop for Balinese jewelry, specifically silver, known to be of high quality. Street vendors selling chocolates and coffee and markets full of unique handicrafts are popular here, too.

The Bali Galeria is just to the east of these malls, just a 10-minute drive away, on Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai.
Souvenirs
The largest souvenir shop in Bali is Krisna, which has 10 locations on the island, with most of them on the southern end. It’s the best place for the most variety of t-shirts, rice wine, spa products and souvenirs and low prices. Holy Crab Lembongan Souvenir Shop in Jungutbatu is also a fine place to get t-shirts and postcards. Finally, Diah Fitri Souvenir Shop on Jalan Paya Sukawati has a beautiful array of colorful items like purses, wallets and handicrafts.
Markets
