Bali is a polarizing island. You might hear some travelers call it quiet and untouched while others tout it as being boisterous and crowded. The reality lies somewhere in the middle.

Deemed the Island of the Gods, spirituality is part of everyday life on the Island of the Gods. There are hundreds of temples to admire, and no two are quite alike. 

Watch the sunrise from the top of a volcano, wander through rice terraces, laze the day away in a hammock on the beach, surf your heart out, and enjoy fragrant meals that always seem to combine the perfect mix of sweet and savory. If you have kids, they’ll enjoy their time in Bali, too.
