Bali – the ‘Island of the Gods’. Step out of reality into this irresistible tropical gem, just one of over 17,000 islands in the Indonesian archipelago. With a magic all its own, ablaze with colour in a landscape dominated by rice terraces and volcanic peaks, Bali is blessed with fabulous sandy beaches, warm seas, thousands of temples, great shopping and friendly easy going people for whom life and tradition are one, merged in a unique, everyday celebration of art, dance, sculpture, spectacular festivals and religious rituals.
Typical Balinese Landscape
There are many resort areas including Sanur, an established quiet location offering a variety of hotels, shops and restaurants and an excellent reef-protected beach. Nusa Dua is a purpose-built enclave that boasts a range of properties set beside its fine sandy beach. Jimbaran Bay is unspoilt and more isolated with just a few hotels overlooking one of the island’s best beaches. Seminyak is a trendy new area near the northern edge of busy Kuta, with its wealth of shops and nightspots. Ubud, home of Balinese culture and local handicrafts, is just an hour’s drive inland from the main beaches. For ultimate relaxation visit Tembok Bali on the northern coast – its aura exemplifies the Balinese way of life.
Take a further step from reality on the neighbouring island of Lombok, a 25-minute air hop from Bali, offering true tranquillity and charm beside secluded beaches.
