Bali Holidays
OVERVIEW
Whether you are looking for an adventure or a peaceful island to completely disconnect and unwind, Bali is the place for you.
Balinese people have a reputation for being friendly and warm, making Bali a popular destination for its idyllic white sand beaches, turquoise sea, and dense jungle. A place of peace and tranquility as well as a land of adventure, this corner of paradise is ideal for surfers, as they are spoilt for choice and will find the perfect waves, depending on the season.
During the dry season, which runs from April to September, Nusa Lembongan and the northwest coast are the best places to go, while during the wet season, the eastern part of the island is perfect. You can catch waves at Balian or venture to Uluwatu, one of the island's most popular surfing spots, which offers stunning views.
Beach lovers will fall in love with Bali's beaches and be seduced by its charm. Kuta and Seminyak's popular beaches are very lively with their abundance of bars and restaurants. If you're in search of peace and quiet, you'll have to step out from the tourist areas to discover a heavenly atmosphere at Balangan Beach, braced by rocky cliffs.
A visit to the south of the island will immerse you in a picturesque atmosphere with its golden sand beaches and small oases. Lastly, if you are looking for even more peace and quiet, you can reach Nyang Nyang Beach by way of the 500-step staircase.

5 Must-Do things
in Bali
Exhilarating surf, enthralling jungles, sacred volcanoes, expansive rice terraces, and traditional cultures. Is this your cup of tea? All of this, and much more, can be found on the enchanted island of Bali.
Mount Batur Sunrise Hike
Even if you're not a morning person, you muster the courage to go on this trek. A half-hour journey to the foothills of the mountain should be the first step. The climb is challenging, but rewarding. See the Balinese sunrise on your way up. The views of Agung and Lombok across the lake make getting up in the dark and yawning worthwhile!
Sacred bathing in Tirta Empul
According to local Hindus, the mystical water flowing from Manukaya's Tirta Empul Temple can heal and purify the body as well as the spirit. The experience of relaxing in an absolutely stunning temple - whether you believe it or not - will never be forgotten. You can tour the temple for 30 minutes to an hour.
Sunbathing on Bali's best beaches
What's better than salty hair, tanned skin, and the book you've been dying to read? Besides that, Bali's top beaches also offer world-class beach clubs where you can enjoy sundowners. So make sure to bring a sarong, sunscreen, and summer music because you'll want to explore Bali's best beaches.
Go surfing in Kuta
Bali's most renowned beach, Kuta Beach, is the best place to learn to surf if you have never done so. A surf lesson can be taken here, or you can rent a body board if you prefer something simpler. Locals and tourists gather here to enjoy the sunset while relaxing on the beach with a nice beer.
Visit Ulun Danu
Bali's Ulun Danu Temple is located in Bedugul. One of the island's most serene spots is this temple dedicated to the lake goddess. Take a look at the various shrines, each dedicated to a different deity, and the intricately carved gates.
Must-See places
in Bali
A popular backpacking destination in Indonesia, Bali is a stunning island. There are so many sights to see, including rice fields and beaches, that it's easy to get overwhelmed.
Tegalalang rice terrace
Tegalalang's tiered rice fields are a must-see in Bali. A 20-minute journey from Ubud brings you to these stunning rice fields piled one on top of the other.
Ubud Monkey Forest
Take a break from the craziness and explore Ubud Monkey Forest, one of Bali's most refreshing destinations. It is a holy woodland with about 700 Balinese long-tailed monkeys.
Goa Gajah Gianyar
Goa Gajah is a Hindu temple located in Bali. Built in the 9th century, the cave temple was intended to be a sanctuary or a place of meditation. Many themes on the rock above the cave's entrance, the most notable being a gigantic face in the center, immediately above the entrance.
Sukawati Art Market
Sukawati Art Market (Pasar Seni Sukawati) is a long-standing and popular destination for tourists and residents. A fantastic place for a walk or authentic Balinese shopping.
Bajra Sandhi Monument
The Bajra Sandhi Monument is a notable landmark in Denpasar, located in Renon Square. This monument commemorates the Balinese struggle throughout history.
Must-Try food
in Bali
Indonesia is made up of thousands of islands, so it's no surprise that Balinese cuisine is similarly varied. You wouldn't want to miss out on some of Bali's most famous delicacies.
Babi Guling Ibu Oka
Forget Pad Thai, one of the most popular Thai dishes is Pad Kra Pao. Pad Kra Pao is a stir-fry served with steamed rice. This spicy dish is made with plenty of garlic, chillies, fish sauce, soy sauce and most importantly, holy basil leaves. Because of this specific ingredient, Pad Kra Pao is known as Holy Basil Stir Fry. Due to the simplicity and the fact that it’s served within minutes, Pad Kra Pao can be seen as the Thai equivalent of the hamburger (or other types of fast food).
Bebek Bengil
The restaurant's signature dish is a half duck cooked with Indonesian spices and deep fried to a crisp. Each meal comes with cooked potatoes, side salad, or rice and Balinese veggies. If you like potatoes as much as we do, you may have your rice replaced with a creamy mash that perfectly compliments the duck.
Pepes Ikan
Khao Soi is for many foreigners instantly one of their favourite Thai dishes once they have tried it. This Northern, creamy Thai curry is not as spicy as most curries and is incredibly fragrant thanks to ingredients such as lemongrass, turmeric, ginger, coriander seeds and lime leaves. On the bottom of the bowl, you’ll find noodles even though it’s served with crispy fried noodles on top as well. Usually, the curry is served with a tender chicken drumstick.
Must-Pack
for Bali
It's like being in another world. Be sure to bring these items as well as an open mind, a warm heart, humor, and an adventurous attitude. Bali will take care of the rest.
Adaptor plug
We recommend that you always bring a universal adapter when traveling, making sure that it is compatible with the country you are visiting.
Reef-friendly sunscreen & insect repellent
Prevent sunburn and preserve the coral reefs with SPF 30 or higher. Pack plenty of insect repellent.
Swimsuit
A swimsuit is a must for everyone who wants to swim, snorkel, and relax on the fine sand of Bali's heavenly beaches.
Sunglasses
The sun will be in your face at some point during the day. Wearing a good pair of sunglasses will help protect your eyes.
Backpack
Always pack a smaller bag for daytime travel.
Shoulder Coverage
Bali has many stunning temples to see, but you must cover your shoulders and knees to enter. Pack a little sarong that may fit in any day bag.
Other things to know about Bali before you go
Depending on your nationality, you may need a visa to enter. It is best to check this well in advance. In addition, some nations require passports to be valid for 3-6 months after their expiration date, so double check before booking.
Places to visit in Bali
Why would you go on holidays in Bali?
Pearl of Indonesia - with postcard landscapes - nicknamed "the island of the Gods", Bali rhymes with relaxation, serenity and change of scenery.
A Bali holiday with diverse landscapes will make you feel disconnected from the outside world. There are mountains, forests, rice fields, temples, and sunny beaches in Bali that provide you with an unforgettable holiday.
Located at the tip of Bali, Padang Padang beach is a favorite spot for surfing enthusiasts due to its 3 meter waves. Crystal Bay is often considered the most beautiful beach in Bali. This secluded cove, nestled on the island of Nusa Penida, beckons you to rest on its silky sand bed surrounded by palm trees. Offshore, you can see the islet of Pulau Batumelinjong floating on the crystal-clear sea. The reefs are particularly suitable for scuba diving and the discovery of manta rays and molas molas (or moon fish).
Whether you're interested in swimming, strutting your stuff on the beach, surfing or scuba diving, you'll always find a secluded spot where you feel cut off from the world.
On Nusa Lembongan you can enjoy Mushroom Bay Beach with its coral formations shaped like mushrooms, as well as Green Bowl Beach with its beaches surrounded by cliffs covered in wild vegetation. An adventure awaits you as you climb a staircase populated by macaques in order to reach it...
One of more than 17,000 islands in Indonesia, Bali is home to over 4 million people, making it the most populous. While Bali's weather is pleasant year-round, the ideal time to visit is between mid-May and mid-October, since rain and high humidity are more prevalent during the rest of the year. There is a tropical climate in Bali. Despite Indonesian and Balinese being the official languages, English is widely spoken on Bali, with a variety of regional dialects.
Indonesia's island of Bali, often known as the "island of the gods," relates to the concept of a tropical paradise, and the reality of the island does not vary much from the fantasy. In truth, the island has beautiful tropical scenery, picture-perfect beaches, and a culture that is infused with a strong sense of spirituality.
Bali holidays on the island of the gods… A rather audacious nickname for this country at the end of the world... And yet, it wears it so well.
As soon as you step on the island, you will start to appreciate your cheap holiday in Bali and you will be quickly bewitched by the weight of the Balinese culture where arts and aestheticism seem so natural. An island where traditions are omnipresent. An island where time seems to flow slowly. An island where nature is also blessed by the gods...
So if you need to disconnect with your daily routine and need to rejuvenate in the sun on the warm sand listening to the waves, take a few minutes and explore our selection of cheap Bali packages that include accommodation, flights and transfers. All-inclusive packages are also available so that you can relax and enjoy your Bali holidays while sipping a good cocktail.
