Bali

The allure of the Hindu island of Bali comes from its people as much as its intricate culture. Observe the Balinese immersed in their timeless rituals and succumb to a slower rhythm of life. Meander through temples perched on cliffs, hike through emerald paddy or relax on sweeping volcanic beaches.

Essentials

01 Live like the Balinese: rise early for the morning’s cool and take an afternoon nap when the searing sun is at its fiercest.
02 Don't plan every minute of your holiday; part of the pleasure of Bali is an unexpected diversion down a pretty frangipani-flecked road.
03 As well as delectable Balinese food, the world's cuisines are represented on the island, with an emphasis on seafood and fresh, local produce.
04 Dress breezily. Stylish sarong and flip-flops are acceptable day-time wear and will complement your pedicure.
05 Bali is a water-lover’s paradise, popular for surfing, snorkelling, kite surfing, and sailing. Nusa Dua hotels offer guests quality equipment.
