Bali was once a small fishing village, has now developed into a charming mass of colourful holiday properties. The resort consists of a number of small coves with sand and shingle beaches, a busy harbour, and a selection of good tavernas and bars. Most of the other buildings are a collection of small hotels and apartment blocks.
