Bali is a land of stunning natural beauty with friendly residents who are proud of their ancient culture, spirituality and traditions. With jaw dropping scenery, this 'Island of the Gods' is aptly named.
Hinduism is a core aspect of Balinese culture. You will often see or hear elaborate religious ceremonies and spiritual music, with dance often taking place, and daily offerings of colourful fresh petals flooding the streets is a lovely unique aspect of the island.
Escapes to Bali offer the chance to explore an incredibly diverse landscape; culture and history combine seamlessly with beautiful beaches, jungle forests, gourmet eateries and luxury spa retreats.
Southern Bali is the nation's most popular location, with good reason. This is where you find excellent beach resorts. However, venture inland amid the lush rice terraces, dramatic valleys and volcanoes, and you'll discover that artsy Ubud has a unique atmosphere.

Wet season/peak season: Whilst December is wet season in Bali it is still considered peak season with a number of tourists visiting across the winter months and festive holidays. You're likely to find accommodation gets booked up well in advance and with higher rates, so if planning a visit, do book sooner rather than later. The days are beautifully hot, sunny and with tropical downpours.
