Bali
Beach adventures, lush rainforest hikes and immersive cultural excursions
Away from the bustle of city life, the beaches of Bali are some of the most breath-taking in the world. Bask in warm sun rays and the balmy sea breeze while laying on powdery white sand, soothed by the sound of waves crashing against the shore. Be coaxed into the ocean by its clear turquoise waters — perfect for swimmers, scuba divers, snorkelers, and beginner and experienced surfers alike.
The classic Bali experience starts in Kuta and Legian — two of the island’s most popular beaches — and Seminyak, where sophisticated boutiques and restaurants line the beachfront. Those in search of a more laid-back affair will appreciate Sanur, a favourite among families for its calm, shallow waters, and Nusa Dua, which promises quiet, secluded luxury.
For a change in scenery, see the island and ocean from a different perspective atop majestic limestone cliffs, or venture inland to verdant rainforests, where birdsong and colourful flowers are your hiking companions. Marvel at the intricate carvings and craftsmanship of Bali’s ancient temples, such as the revered Pura Besakih, a complex of Hindu temples that dates to the 14th century. Stay for one of the island’s traditional festivals to witness a whirl of colourful costumes and entrancing music.
Wherever your Bali adventure takes you, the island’s famed cuisine and fresh seafood will bring delightful flavour and spice to every step of your journey. Discover Balinese food at local restaurants or street vendors, or pick up a new recipe at a cooking class as a priceless souvenir to remember a trip of a lifetime by.
