Bali Holidays

The beautiful islands of Bali are home to glorious sandy beaches, lush interiors, emerald green rice fields, tranquil temples and warm and friendly people.

Discover local craft shops in Sanur, the impressive resorts of Nusa Dua, Kuta’s nightlife or Seminyak’s spas. Travel inland to Ubud to cycle between the rice paddies or explore the colourful markets. The peaceful island of Lombok is dominated by Mt Rinjani and fringed by golden beaches.

The offshore Gili Islands are a haven of peace where bicycles and horse drawn carts are the only form of transport.
