Bali (Indonesia)

Island of the Gods

Discover Bali, a serene Indonesian island where ancient spirituality thrives amidst breathtaking landscapes, vibrant arts, and a culinary scene that delights every palate. Bali promises a journey for the soul and senses, catering to relaxation, adventure, and deep cultural immersion.

Imagine the emerald terraces of Ubud's rice paddies cascading down hillsides, or finding peace in a tranquil temple. Feel the exhilaration of catching a wave on Seminyak's golden beaches, or conquer the pre-dawn challenge of Mount Batur trekking for a sunrise that paints the sky. Savour the scent of incense from daily offerings, or explore the dramatic cliffside beauty around Uluwatu, where ancient temples guard stunning ocean vistas.


Did You Know? Many Balinese people share the same few traditional first names like Wayan (standing for "eldest"), Made, Nyoman, or Ketut. It's based on their birth order! So, don't be surprised if your guide and your waiter have the same name – it's a charming part of Balinese culture.


Ethos Travel Advice: Be prepared for Bali’s unique traffic! Scooter culture reigns supreme, and what looks like a short distance on a map can take ages. For excursions, we often recommend and arrange a private driver for our clients – it's surprisingly affordable and saves you from navigating the charming chaos yourself.
