If this is finally the year that you have decided to take a family vacation to Bali, Indonesia, I can assure you that you are really in for a treat. Bali is unusual in that the local culture is still very much alive, even though tourism, especially on a very busy southern end of the island, as completely transformed not only the lives of the Balinese who live there, but also the terrain and even the construction of buildings in the area.

As a visitor who possibly came on a holiday years ago, you’ll be amazed at just how many three- to five- story apartment buildings you now see in Bali, in places where there were formerly only rice paddies. This can hardly be a surprise however, as builders today have few places to go except up. The good news is that this has given tourists a new, though rarely publicized, option for accommodations during their stay.

Most owners of Bali apartments are not year-round residents, but rather expats who do business in Bali a few times a year, or people from other cities in Indonesia who enjoy coming to Bali for a weekend from time to time. It’s very common for these people to offer their apartments as short-term rentals for tourists, and the Internet has made it suddenly very easy not only for owners to advertise them but for tourists looking for hotel rooms to also look at apartments. » Read more: Why Renting Bali Apartments Beats Hotel And Villa Rentals
