Maps of Indonesia & Bali

Before going to Bali, we ask ourselves “Why are there so many travellers calling this island “The Island of Gods”. In Balinese mythology, it is said that the gods created the place to be special. Bali is definitely a paradise island. A classic tropical island that has something for everyone of any age.

The densest area in Bali is on the south side, including Sanur, Kuta, Seminyak, Legian and Jimbaran linking to the Denpasar. As for the rest of Bali, it is mostly sparsely populated and an agricultural island.

Bali is divided in 9 districts or regencies:

Badung
Occupies over 418.52sqkm of land and is located in the centre of Bali island. This is where the popular Kuta town can be found.

Bangli
This is one of the regencies in Bali that is not surrounded by sea but provides some of the best scenery in the island of Bali.

Buleleng
This place has its own unique social and cultural features due to its being isolated from the south by the central volcanic ridge and vast expanse of forest. This regency stretches across nearly the whole of northern Bali from east to west.

Gianyar
Here in the luxurious regency of Gianyar contains some of Bali’s oldest relics and most of her significantly important archaelogical sites. Gianyar is richly endowed with artistic traditions and is known for producing some of the island’s most accomplished painters and dancers.

Jembrana
This regency is a hilly area on the southwest coast of Bali. North Jembrana is a mountainous region and is part of West Bali’s National Park. The latter can be found in two regencies – Jembrana as well as well Buleleng.

Karangasem
Karangasem is situated in the eastern part of Bali, which is full of interesting places to visit as well as amazing beaches. A terrible volcanic eruption occurred on March the 17th, 1963

Klungkung
Klungkung is the smallest regency in the Bali province, but it has shown to have enormous tourism potential. In the east side, the landscape is still scarred by the lava streams of the eruption that occurred in 1963. This event actually cut Klungkung off from the rest of Bali for some time.

Tabanan
This regency comprises of two main regions, the mountains towards the north and the lower plains in the south. In the mountainous areas of the north also lies Bali’s second highest mountain, Mount Batukau.

Denpasar
This is the big city, the centre of all government offices and the capital city of Bali. Denpasar used to be the base of the Badung kingdom, and then it became the center for the Bali government in 1958.
