Bali

Why travellers choose Bali

Bali packs jungle valleys, volcanic ridges and a coastline of surf and swimming beaches into an island you can cross in a morning. Ubud is the base for rice-terrace walks, waterfalls and temple mornings, while Seminyak and Uluwatu trade that for sunset bars and reef breaks.

Tours here run year-round and suit almost any budget: villa stays with private pools sit alongside family-run guesthouses, and most travellers pair a few days inland with a few on the coast.
