Some of the TOP Hotels in Bali

Bali's most famous and crowded resort is Kuta beach, a six-kilometre sweep of golden sand, with plenty of accommodation, shops and nightlife. Nearby Sanur is much quieter, but most backpackers prefer the beaches of peaceful east-coast Candi Dasa and traveller-oriented Lovina on the north coast. The island's other major destination is the cultural centre of Ubud , a still charming but undeniably commercialized overgrown village, where traditional dances are staged every night of the week and the streets are full of arts-and-crafts galleries.

Certain Dayak tribes still play a curious musical instrument, the kiedi, a mouth organ like a bagpipe with 6 or 8 narrow pieces of bamboo cane sticking out of an oval hollow gourd. The kiedi has been known in Indonesia since the Bronze Age and is found on 9th Century Borobudur basreliefs. It survives now only in Kalimantan's interior. Also played are goblet-shaped drums made out of heavy hollowed-out tree trunks. In the northern regions magnificent dragon gongs are played. Another singular instrument used by some tribes is the sampe, a large flat lute with a painted wooden resonance box on which rattan strings are plucked.
