Situated in the hills north of Denpasar, Ubud is the serene cultural centre of Bali, hosting a large number of interesting galleries, many with quality works of art, whilst just to the south the village of Mas is the centre for wood carving, the main streets are flanked by shops and stalls selling a vast array of beautiful sculptures of every shape and size.  Kuta is unbeatable for clothing and also sports the liveliest nightlife. 

This island's rich cultural heritage is visible everywhere - in over 20,000 temples and palaces, in many colourful festivals and ceremonies, in drama, music and dance.  Then there are the water sports with something for everyone from the very active to the more sedate.
