The island’s capital and largest city, Denpasar is Bali’s cultural and economic hub, offering a glimpse into local Balinese life beyond the beaches.

The Indonesian Rupiah is the local currency, and visitors quickly get used to seeing notes with lots of zeros!

Unlike most of Indonesia, Bali is predominantly Hindu, with colourful ceremonies and offerings seen daily across the island.

This active volcano in the island’s north is a popular sunrise trek destination, rewarding hikers with spectacular views over Lake Batur.

Often called Bali’s cultural heart, Ubud is surrounded by emerald-green rice fields, traditional crafts, and peaceful wellness retreats.

Part of the Indian Ocean, the Bali Sea offers warm turquoise waters, coral reefs, and world-class diving spots.

Perched high on the slopes of Mount Agung, Besakih is Bali’s largest and holiest temple complex, with over 80 individual shrines.

Known as the Balinese Day of Silence, Nyepi is a time for reflection, meditation, and renewal when the whole island comes to a peaceful standstill.

Comprising Nusa Lembongan, Ceningan, and Penida, these islands offer crystal-clear waters, dramatic landscapes, and a quieter pace.

From luxury private villas to family-run homestays, Bali’s accommodations reflect its warm culture and stunning tropical surroundings.
