Uluwatu is where I ALWAYS start my Bali holiday. It's about a 45 minute drive from the airport and has nice white beaches (only can swim at low tide.) This is where I deal with my jetlag and just chill until I'm ready to move. Unless you surf this is a 2-3 day max area to stay in, but a great place to begin. Don't head towards Kuta, Seminyak, Canguu first --you WILL be dissappointed. Lots of traffic and dirty beaches….its just where everyone is becuase theres lots of stuff to do with shopping, eating, and partying.
