Bali Holidays

The Indonesian isle of Bali has earned itself the nickname Island of the Gods, thanks to its wow-factor natural landscapes. We’re talking rice terraces tiered like birthday cakes, hills freckled with secret temples and volcanic sand beaches in all shades of black. The island’s character doesn’t stop there either – it also boasts a bass-thumping clubbing scene and a clutch of slick independent boutique shops.

Paradise doesn’t normally come cheap, but Bali breaks the mould. If you’re a fan of pampering, you’ll be pleased to hear that hour-long massages can be snapped up for as little as a fiver. And you can find a fancy multi-course meal for less than you’d spend on a takeaway in the UK. For even more peace of mind, book a break that’s All Inclusive. With all your meals and drinks paid for in advance, you’ll have more money in your pocket to spoil yourself with.

Whatever your dream beach is, Bali's got it. From north to south, sun-seekers, swimmers, sporty sorts and kids keen on a splash-about will find their place on this island. They'll likely do it with a fresh coconut in hand, too – beachside warungs, or traditional cafés, sell them fresh from the counter.

Ubud is Bali's spiritual centre – shrines strewn with flowers and smoking incense sticks are everywhere along the cobbled streets. You'll find art galleries, charming markets and age-old temples tucked beneath tropical trees full of monkeys. Al fresco eateries specialise in healthy lunches and fresh fruit smoothies.
