Bali Overview
Bali is the most popular island holiday destination in the Indonesian archipelago. The island’s home to an ancient culture that's known for its warm hospitality. Exotic temples and palaces set against stunning natural backdrops are some of its top attractions. Dining in Bali presents endless choices of local or far-flung cuisine. Inland, towering volcanoes and pristine jungles greet you with plenty to see and do. Start or end your trip at beach resorts and luxury resorts in any of Bali’s famous areas. These include Kuta, Seminyak and Jimbaran where most of the great hotels and villas are right on the beach.
In Bali’s farther and lesser travelled northern and eastern regions, you’ll find some world-class diving spots with calm bays. They're home to coral gardens teeming with colourful marine biodiversity, and some seldom-visited critter diving locations. The south has year-round manta sightings and seasonal Mola Mola action from July to October. More on the diving here
The island’s centre also offers plenty of reasons that it can be better than the beach. Explore the scenic central highlands of Ubud with its flowing rice fields, valleys and forested rivers. Yet Ubud's not only a place for cultural day-trippers. It also offers plenty for adventure-seekers. Picturesque mountain tracks are within a short walk from designer boutique and cafe-lined streets. Sightseeing opportunities in Ubud are abundant. The town itself is dotted with a multitude of ancient temples, palaces and historical sites. There are many more off-the-beaten-track spots around this magical island worth discovering.
Bali is also a great spot for a three-day adventure to the rice paddies of Cempaka Belimbing and the onto impressive blue flames of the volcano Kawa Ijen on eastern Java.
