Bali

Indonesia

Water temples, jungle gates and turquoise coves on the Island of the Gods.

Why go

Bali is green, spiritual and endlessly photogenic. Temples float on mountain lakes, stone gates open onto jungle, and every morning begins with small offerings of flowers left on doorsteps.

Split your stay between Ubud's rice terraces and craft villages and a beach base in the south, then take the fast boat to Nusa Penida for the most dramatic coastline in Indonesia.

Don't miss

Three moments
you'll remember.

  1. 01

    Ulun Danu Beratan

    The temple that seems to float on Lake Bratan, high in the cool mountains of central Bali.

  2. 02

    Nusa Penida

    Towering cliffs, secret coves and water in impossible shades of blue, a day trip by fast boat.

  3. 03

    Ubud & the Handara Gate

    Rice terraces, markets and dance performances in Ubud, and the famous split gate in the northern hills.
