Floating in the azure waters of the Indonesian archipelago, Bali enchants with its mix of spirituality, beauty, and warmth. From Mount Agung’s sacred heights to black-sand beaches, each moment deepens its allure. Start in Ubud with a private temple ceremony, exclusive cooking class, or bespoke wellness retreat.

With 10,000+ temples, from sea-swept Tanah Lot to majestic Uluwatu, Bali offers endless spiritual encounters. Watch a sunset kecak fire dance, take part in a water blessing, and admire daily canang sari offerings. Our advisors suggest indulgent evenings at a luxe beach club or dining with sunset views over Jimbaran Bay.

Adventure seekers can snorkel vibrant reefs off Menjangan Island, hike the lush trails of West Bali National Park, or cycle through terraced rice fields that tumble towards the horizon. For a more secluded escape, snorkel off Amed’s coral-rich coast or summit Mount Batur at dawn for an unforgettable sunrise.

  • "Nusa Dua is where Bali slows down and luxury truly takes over. It’s a sanctuary of white-sand beaches, world-class resorts, and effortless serenity. I spent my days being pampered in oceanfront spas, sipping fresh coconut under swaying palms, and soaking in the elegance of thoughtfully curated resorts that offer absolute escape. One of my favourite moments was dining barefoot on the beach as a Balinese sunset painted the sky — a moment that felt both indulgent and deeply grounding. Nusa Dua is perfect for those who seek a more refined, tranquil side of Bali, without losing the island’s rich warmth and beauty."

  • “One thing we love about Bali is that it has so many beautiful places to stay, by the beach, in the jungle or by the terraced rice paddies. Many have exceptional wellness offerings, as well as cultural experiences both on site, and in villages. Visit temples, take a blessing, rejuvenate mind, body and soul with a treatment or two, and in the evening, enjoy exquisite Balinese cuisine.”

  • “One of the most transformative experiences I've curated for clients is a full-day spiritual journey through Ubud, including a private purification ceremony at an ancient Hindu temple. The sacred spring waters connect you to centuries of Balinese tradition, with personal insights from the priest about the island's unique Hindu-Buddhist practices, ensuring authenticity and respect.”

    Tess McIntyre
    Travel Associates Mt Eden, North Island
  • "From the moment you arrive, Bali greets you with its rich culture and customs. There’s a world of experiences to discover here, from sunset BBQs on the beach to wellness retreats. Explore the lush rice paddies or catch some waves while surfing. In Seminyak, you’ll find the famous Eat Street—walk the strip and sample mouth-watering dishes, refreshing drinks, and browse local galleries."
