A land of culture and unbelievable natural beauty, Bali has enticed me to visit on four occasions. The mere mention of Bali evokes thoughts of a paradise. It's more than a place; it's a mood, an aspiration, a tropical state of mind. Bali is known for beaches, stunning sunsets, rich culture, terraced rice paddy fields and ancient temples. Steeped in spirituality with warm, welcoming people, Bali will leave you captivated by its culture, beauty and charm.
Many of the experiences and charm I felt whilst visiting this country are related to the feeling of relaxation, wellness, cuisine and culture. Bali is renowned for its wellness retreats. The “island of Gods” will help relax, heal and have you return home with a healthier mind, body and soul. Cuisines and taste sensations are everywhere, I indulged in many chicken satay on a stick and enjoyed feasting on an array of fresh seafood at the famous beachfront location of Jimbaran Bay.
Trying my hand at cooking, I was inspired at the Anika cooking school. Experimenting and becoming familiar with the use of fresh herbs, spices and other ingredients that make Balinese food delightfully tasty, as well as nutritious and cleansing.
Balinese culture is often expressed through beautiful traditional costumes and seen throughout cultural dances. On a day tour experience, I was pleased to have been lucky to witness the Frog Dance, this romantic story is inspired by the frog and a princess fairy tale.
If you are after a quieter and more enchanted experience, amongst a mountainous setting. Head for Ubud, famous for its spiritual journey, this area is a haven for yoga and wellness retreats, with many collections of arts.
Searching for the best beach location. The southern peninsula of Nusa Dua will be the best spot. This location is a gated resort area and home to Club Med. All-inclusive package holiday. One of my journeys to Indonesia, I was privy to a Helloworld hosted Conference and the opportunity experience and learn more about this your premium all-inclusive holiday resort. This all-inclusive value for money, packaged holiday includes, 4-5 star accommodation, all dining, premium open bar, sports & local activities, access to private beaches & pools, live entrainment, Free Wi-Fi, travel insurance, optional air-inclusive packages with transfers and return flights, and friendly hospitable service.
Most people who have been to Bali would agree that the Balinese are very friendly people. Their friendliness and genuine warmth have made tourists feel at home for decades. I would describe this destination as a great tropical getaway, ideal climate, diverse scenery, exquisite cuisine and fulfilling spiritual indulgence for your soul. The Balinese people display an aura of being truly happy and blessed in life. My visits and experience of Bali have always felt immersive of spa treatments, food indulgences, cultural discovery and leave me with a feeling of spiritual healing and relaxation.
