Golf Resorts in Bali

Bali holidays are becoming increasingly popular. The beautiful Indonesian island is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the region. It lies between the islands of Java and Lombok, and is the westernmost of the Lesser Sunda Islands. From beautiful beaches and warm, clear waters to fascinating cultural activities encompassing a range of arts including performances of dance and music, as well as exhibitions of other art forms such as painting, leather and sculpting, it is no wonder people return year after year for holidays at luxury hotels in Bali.

Bali is also ideal for golf holidays, where avid golfers can combine beautiful scenery and beaches with their favourite past time. Here are some of the best hotels in Bali to choose, that all have golf courses nearby.
