This will help as a rough guide to know your way around the airport.. The newly reopened International Wing of the Ngurah Rai International Airport is still on finishing touches as such in december 2013, when we were there, there were only 2 International Duty Free Stores Present, the Duty Free Shoppers (DPS) and Dufry Duty Free.

Dufry Duty recently had a presence in Bali since July 2013 and unlike the larger DPS which has a large Duty Free Mall in Denpasar, only has a large store at the International Departure area of the Airport. you would not miss this as the entrance to the departure gates all pass by the Dufry Duty Free Shop. It has a total retail area of 2,200sq m, offering a duty free assortment that includes perfumes & cosmetics, liquor, tobacco and confectionery & fine food and liqour section.

Dufry is the competitor of the Duty Free Shoppers (DPS) along the Asia Pacific Area.

Roxuai : Hard Rock Cafe : Kuta Bali

Bali has been the primary focus of Indonesia's tourist industry for quite some time. The only Hindu society in Southeast Asia, lively religious observance now permeates every aspect of modern Balinese life. When in Bali, people also like to worship at the great shrine of Rock 'n' Roll, the Hard Rock Cafe Bali, where rock gods and royalty alike are honored. Hard Rock Cafe.

Hard Rock Cafe : Kuta Bali

Like what i've said, the main party place of Kuta and Bali is at JL legian area and the main Beach Road (JL Pantai Kuta) has a more sedate nightlife as only a few good bars in in there and the most famous is the Iconic Hard Rock Cafe Bali, located in the entrance of the Hard Rock Hotel Bali.

I love this place. The bartenders, waiters and waitresses are so friendly that they don't just serve you with a smile. They strike a friendly conversation with you. I was here for some drinks with a friend on our first night in Bali. After dinner, we headed straight to the Rock Shop to buy some souvenirs from this beautiful island. Got me a Hard Rock Bali shirt.

During the day, it serves as a restaurant serving various meals that hard rock is known for and starting at around 9:00 pm, it becomes a bar and there are live bands playing with no cover charge starting at 10:30 pm to 1:00 am everyday. this place is for avid rockers and curious foreigners and more of the older set rather than the younger set in the JL Legian Area. the entrance of the Hard Rock Cafe is beside the Rock Shop of the Hard Rock Hotel.

The venue features a main dining area upstairs which is open for lunch and dinner, while the lower stage area and bar sets the atmosphere for guests who wish to dine with an attitude. Hard Rock Cafe Bali has a 450-seat capacity and nightly live entertainment staged in front of a stained-glass Elvis image.

Next to the Cafe is a merchandise store, the Rock Shop, where you can buy official quality Hard Rock Bali T-shirts and collectible pins. One-of-a-kind Rock T-shirts designed by artists like Bon Jovi, Green Day and Shakira make the T-shirts top shelf items. Specially designed Hard Rock collectibles include pins that display rock personalities, from the Spinning Bike and Rock House Series to the Roller Boogie collection.

To public visitors, those not staying at the adjacent Hard Rock Hotel Bali, parking may be a slight issue. Across the road is the Kuta Beach parking space that gets crowded during special concerts and events, therefore public transport is the most practical way to arrive.

Roxuai @ Alila Villas Uluwatu Bali

The new generation of luxury resorts in Bali are ultra-exclusive and very design-oriented. One of the prime examples is Alila Uluwatu. Heralded as the latest Sustainable Luxury Resort in Bali, Alila Uluwatu was built using mostly local materials to reduce its carbon footprint and its impact on the local environment. Even the landscaping was done using mostly local native plants.

Staking a stylish claim on Bali’s rugged Bukit Peninsula, Alila Villas Uluwatu is a cool, contemporary cliff-hanger of a resort which delivers dramatic eco-friendly design in a jaw-dropping setting. Panoramic views over the Indian Ocean complement architecturally striking pool villas, each with serene, minimalist interiors, seductive outdoor living spaces and personal butlers on tap. Stir in a top spa, fine dining and legendary surfing, and it's a delicious cocktail.

The Architects

The architects are WOHA from Singapore. Borrowing heavily from Carlo Scarpa, they have created a design that is simple in planning, yet very rich and stylish in details. The basic forms are rectilinear, augmented by careful detailing to give depth to the structures. Courtyards, sun-screens and gazebos are designed to catch the light and provide visual interest, besides serving as tranquil hideaways for the guests.

As with many Bali high-end resorts, the location is purposely remote and difficult to find. This small road seemed to go on forever before you reach the resort.

The main entrance porch - typically understated, except that here you have a whole coterie of hotel staff to greet you upon arrival.

The Alila Uluwatu is a resort which once you arrive, you don’t want to leave. The rates start at around USD 650 per night, so it is not cheap to enjoy such luxury - but it is definitely worth the money for the location, spectacular design, exclusivity and service. I would definitely stay here if I could afford it !

@Roxuai : Dolphins Watching at Lovina Beach Bali

Buzz Buzz , darn alarm clock! A 530 am start. We made our way to the Black sand of Lovina Beach for an early morning tea or coffee. The Bali sea was like a mirror as we boarded the small fishing boat. Our Guide pushed the boat out from the beach and started the motor and off we went towards the edge of the reef around 2 kilometres from the beach. It was beautiful out there as the sun rose over the mountains behind us and the reflection of the sun on the ocean was a magical moment.

We searched the ocean for the dolphins, I yell there and pointed off to the right and we headed towards the dolphins. Before to long more and more boats had joined us in the chase the dolphin game. I'm sure the dolphins were playing games with us appearing and disappearing while boats chased and searched for them for a few hours. The show the dolphins put on was great to experience, with many leaping out of the water. After a few hours we started heading back to the beach. From out in the ocean Lovina looked magical and oozed charm the small sleep fishing village in-cased with smoke and early morning mist. It was a great experience to view the dolphins in their natural environment.

To be able to see the attraction of wild dolphins, you have to leave early when the sun will rise. Why? Since the dolphins in this region appears only between the hours of 6 am to 8 am. At that hour, dozens of dolphins will air attractions naturally show their activities. There are just swimming in the water, there is also skipping. Of course this will create awe of the beauty of the black sea animals. Usually the tourists had gathered on the beach at around 5:30 pm to go to sea. You can hire a fishing boat that had been prepared for the journey. The journey begins with a small boat that could only carry a maximum of 4 people in addition to the fishermen. The boat will take you approximately one to two miles to the sea to where the dolphin would normally appear.

If you are going to Bali, don't ever miss the Dolphin Watching .. It may not be very popular yet, but it's a 5star thing to do ... You will never be dissapointed. Once in the sea, adrenalin pumps as we wait for dolphins to surface again and again ... It was worth to lose sleep for just to catch a glimpse of these heavenly creatues. We didn't mind the countless hours of driving from Kuta and finally our arrival in Lovina was at 9pm. Stopping occasionally at tourists attractions, we managed to see the best of Bali. Dolphin watching changed my perspective on Bali. This was super fun and the best stop ever.

Every morning small boats leave Lovina beach Bali at sunset packed with tourists in search of dolphins. I was one of these tourists - wanting to see and take home pictures of dolphins at Lovina Beach Bali up close. I didn't realise when I booked the trip that there would be so many boats, that they made such a huge amount of noise in the water, and that when the dolphins were sighted, it was almost as if the boats worked together to herd the dolphins into a confined space for the benefit of the tourists.

To be able to see the attraction of dolphins live in the sea off the coast of Lovina, you were staying in Denpasar have to leave at 3 am. I choose to stay for one night in Lovina, because dolphin hunting will begin in the morning from 6 am until 8 am local time, when the sun will rise. Around 5:30 pm, I along with other tourists had gathered on the beach. The dolphins in the waters of Lovina we can find when we are at a distance of about 1-2 km from the shoreline. Travelling here using a fishing boat that had been prepared for this dolphin search and carry a maximum of four passengers. Lovina Beach waters are relatively calm making this trip to be safe, although service providers still recommend to use a lifejacket during the trip. By paying RP 75.000/person, we can see the attraction of animals is man's best friend. During the trip, we can see the natural beauty of Lovina is decorated sun began to wake from sleep.

Lovina Beach Dolphins Photos

Hard to capture dolphin image with pocket Camera, coupled with other conditions where dozens of boats were immediately swarmed the hordes of dolphins surfacing, suddenly make a run for the dolphins that had just appeared. Dolphins are as if already familiar with this game at all. They will appear randomly in different positions as if asking for boats to catch them. For additional information, we are not guaranteed to always see dolphins attraction, everything totally dependent on natural conditions, such as sea levels, wind direction, and our luck.
