Bali
Trip Planning & Itineraries
Bali is so picturesque that you could be fooled into thinking it was a painted backdrop: rice paddies trip down hillsides like giant steps, volcanoes soar through the clouds, the forests are lush and tropical, and the beaches are lapped by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.
Lombok is the most popular destination in Nusa Tenggara, with the fabled Gili Islands drawing visitors for action both in and out of the water, mighty Gunung Rinjani luring trekkers to conquer its peak, and the big breaks of the south a magnet for surfers.

This venerable place overlooks the confluence of Sungai Wos and Campuan. The shared modern bungalows are linked with paths through the densely planted grounds; just wandering around these is like a trip to a botanic garden.
Bali Niksoma Boutique Beach Resort
This is easily the most stylish beachfront place in Legian. The mannered, minimalist style here comes straight from the pages of a design magazine. Luxuries abound throughout the property, including a highly regarded spa and two multi-level pools, one of which seems to disappear into the ocean and horizon. The 58 rooms are exquisite and the villas sublime.
Near Payangan, the Alila offers great views and modern luxury amid rural tranquillity. It has a stunning ebony pool that rises out of the green like a stark vision. Rooms are lined with natural wood and entire sides open up so guests can savour the views.
Suggested Itineraries: Bali
Apart from the usual western calendar, the Balinese also use two local calendars, the Hindu saka and the wuku. The wuku calendar, which is used to determine festival dates, uses 10 different types of weeks between one and 10 days long, all running simultaneously!
The Galungan Festival, Bali's major feast, is held throughout the island and is an annual event in the wuku year. Nyepi is the major festival of the saka year - it's the last day of the year, and usually falls towards the end of March or the beginning of April.
