Bali is so popular, many of its charms that were first discovered by Western tourists decades ago are either no more or much harder to find. This is especially the case in most of the beachfront areas. Therefore, if you want to enjoy a Balinese beach vacation that is not mostly a carbon copy of a beach vacation in Mexico or Hawaii, you need to do some research on which areas remain relatively unspoiled. Also, if you can afford it, it is a good idea to try renting a villa in Bali rather than staying in a hotel.

In general, the most unspoiled area of Bali is the west, and the most overrun by tourists is the south. But even in the south you can find beach areas most tourists have not discovered. The best way to find beachside villas in Bali where the view is not of a crowded beach or a bunch of hotels is to search intelligently on the web. Intelligent searching requires patience and time, so start your planning early.

One key to good searching for a villa rental in Bali is to use search terms that include descriptive adjectives.  Another key for smart searching is to also look for customer reviews of anything you find that sounds promising.
