It is all there. It is just up to you to choose from the large selection that Bali has to offer...

2. The Balinese culture and its people
What makes Bali so unique is its people and their daily lifestyle. The beautiful influence of the Balinese religion and the culture can be found everywhere which makes the island truly amazing. Colourfully dressed women carrying baskets or offerings on their heads and men and women conducting ceremonies are really a wonderful sight.

3. Landscape and beaches
When traveling from the north to the south or from east to west, it is impressive to see so many types of landscapes. Bali island offers grand mountain landscapes, powerful volcanoes, amazing rice terraces, tropical vegetation and above all any type of beach you can thing off. Bali beaches range from white sandy beaches, black volcanic beaches, resort beaches to surfing beaches. The variety of landscapes on such a small island is just stunning...

4. Food
The Indonesian and Balinese cuisine is a rich blend of spices cooked together with meat, fish or vegetables. It will definitely make your taste buds tingle. There are so many dishes too choose from, you will be able to eat a different local dish every night. However the great thing about Bali is that if you prefer something else there is a wide range of restaurants that offer any type of international cuisine as well. There are even restaurants where top chefs prepare dishes that definitely look like a piece of art...

5. Things to do and experience
If you are in Bali the local people are happy to show and share their culture and knowledge of their daily lifestyle. There are many tours that take you around the island, to local villages, along the rice fields or in search of the unique Bali birds. Or you can participate in a course where you can learn how to cook a delicious Balinese dish, paint like the Balinese do or play one of the most important instruments in Bali: the gamalan.

If relaxing is more what you aim for on your holiday there are an abundance of yoga classes or better yet, spa retreats. Here you can fully enjoy a soothing massage with Balinese herbs and oils.

As you can see Bali might be a small island, but it is definitely a rich one and I am sure it will meet your expectations of an unforgettable holiday on a beautiful tropical island.
