Bali is a living postcard, an Indonesian paradise that feels like a fantasy. Soak up the sun on a stretch of fine white sand, or commune with the tropical creatures as you dive along coral ridges or the colorful wreck of a WWII war ship. The “artistic capital” of Ubud is the perfect place to see a cultural dance performance, take a batik or silver-smithing workshop, or invigorate your mind and body in a yoga class.
In Bali’s farther and lesser travelled East Bali and northern region, you’ll find some world-class diving spots with calm bays. The island’s centre also offers plenty of reasons that it can be better than the beach.
The town itself is densely dotted with a multitude of ancient temples, palaces and historical sites. There are many more off-the-beaten-track spots around this magical island worth discovering.
Bali's natural attractions are many, both on land and sea. The mountainous north-central part of the island, crowned by 10,000-foot Mount Batur and Mount Agung, can be explored by road or, more adventurously, on foot, taking visitors past fast rivers, crater lakes and deep rain forests.
