Where on the world map are Indonesia and Bali Island? - Most Americans undoubtedly would have trouble locating Bali on a map because it is a small tourist island in Indonesia (in Asia).

Most of my friends and family didn't know where Bali was on a map when I returned from my first bali vacation & trip there (I used to assume Bali was a country)! That's because it's practically on the opposite side of the globe from us Americans.

A map of Bali can be helpful for visitors because the island's unique shape and the way the many regencies (provinces) are organized make it a bit challenging to navigate once you arrive and begin exploring.

Getting To Bali

Bali now has a state-of-the-art, effective airport. In fact, it's one of my top picks for Southeast Asian airports! The Bali airport was even ranked third in the world by Airport Council International in 2016 based on customer satisfaction ratings.

Ngurah Rai International Airport is another name for Denpasar International Airport (IATA: DPS). In 2019, it handled over 24 million people, but everything runs quite smoothly, making it impossible to tell that the airport is so busy!
