If Bali is the smallest island of the Indonesian archipelago, it remains however the most touristic. This paradise, bordered by the Bali Sea and the Indian Ocean, distills a unique exotic. Discover the must-sees during your stay on the island of the gods.
Bali, island of serenity and sharing
From north to south, the island unveils white sand beaches, bathed by emerald waves that make the game of surfers, volcanic reliefs, equatorial forests. But it is above all its hilly landscapes with bright green rice fields as a backdrop that enchant travelers. A picture-perfect postcard!
The hospitality, the gentleness and the art of living of the Balinese population also contribute to the charm of the island which has kept its Hindu religion in a country with a Muslim majority. Daily life is punctuated by prayer, religious festivals and offerings to the gods. A serene atmosphere emanates from its many temples, the most exceptional of which are those of Tanah Lot and Uluwatu.
Hike in the rice fields of Jatiluwih or on Mount Batur
The ancient rice terraces are the most elegant in the country and show a centuries-old respect for the art of rice cultivation. The landscape has been shaped into a breathtaking shade of green as seen from the small road that winds between the terraces, on foot, by bicycle or by car. All you need is a simple air ticket to Bali Denpasar and you'll be there!
