About Bali

The island of Bali, in the South Western region of Indonesia, is an amazing tropical paradise, offering the perfect balance between natural beauty, rich cultural experiences and contemporary resort and spa facilities.

This exotic destination offers a landscape that varies from beautiful sandy beaches to tropical rainforests, terraced fields to volcanic mountains, rugged ocean cliffs to lush river valleys.

The Balinese are a friendly, family oriented people. Their society revolves around each family's ancestral village, to which the cycle of life and religion is closely tied. Famous for their kind nature and genuine hospitality, they welcome visitors to their colourful festivals and ceremonies, mystical temples and quaint villages and markets.

The uniqueness of Balinese culture and civilization is what makes the island so different. A diverse range of arts and crafts is practiced, with children learning traditional dances and musical skills from a very early age. Batik fabrics, brightly painted masks, intricate basketry, leather items, paintings, carvings and silver jewellery abound.
