Bali

About Bali

Bali suits travellers who want an easy first overseas trip. The island is compact enough to combine two or three bases, for example a beach stay in the south with a cooler few nights in Ubud.

Away from the resorts there are sea temples, rice terraces, coffee plantations and village markets, all reachable on half-day drives with a private car and driver.

The dry months from April to October are the most popular for beach weather, while the green season brings lower prices and dramatic skies at the temple viewpoints.
