WHAT TO DO THERE
This small Indonesian paradise literally looks like it’s been taken right out of heaven! Do not resist the magic, surrender to the white sandy beaches, relax while swaying in a hammock and sipping on a tropical cocktail, discover the impressive underwater world of the island by diving into coral reefs and wandering within the dense jungle boasting with stoned-built Hindu temples.
Add Ubud to your must-do bucket list, the lively, artistic heart of the island. Traditional dance performances, festivals and walks within the city’s Palace and Monkey Forest are just a few of the things that visitors enjoy.
You should also add to your itinerary Bali’s most beautiful waterfall, the Tegenungan, as well as going on a rafting adventure in the jungle!
Rejuvenate your body and spirit with yoga classes as well as relaxing massages while listening to the natural sounds of the forest or the sea.
GASTRONOMY
Simply because no holiday is complete without coming face-to-face with the various culinary challenges of a destination, you should definitely not leave Bali without trying the Nasi Goreng. This is perhaps Bali’s most common dish, although it is very popular throughout Indonesia. Actually, this dish was voted the second most delicious dish in the world in a CNN poll conducted in 2011. It is made up of fried rice with garlic, chilli and sweet soy sauce! You should also try the Lawar, Gado, Bebek bututu (duck) and Ikan bakar (fish).
Tropical cocktails don’t need special introductions. Choose what flavour you want to prevail and allow your palate to explore new horizons.
