Feel the balmy breezes blow off the ocean, listen as they rustle through the palm trees and smell the sweet, fragrant scent of frangipani blossoms and incense. That’s right, you’re in Bali; an island paradise that most people can only dream of. Rent a romantic holiday villa in the rice fields and fall asleep to the sound of frogs croaking and insects chirping. Or book holiday accommodation on one of the gorgeous sandy beaches, and wake up to the sounds of waves crashing outside your bedroom door. Grab your surf board and catch the amazing swells of the coast that have been drawing surfers for years. Explore the exotic multi-tiered Hindu temples where statues of stone deities protect the gates, and women in colourful sarongs carry baskets of fruit on their heads into the complex to offer to the gods. Hear the enchanting melodies of the gamelan orchestra echo across the mountains as elaborately costumed performers act out scenes from the Ramayana. Bali is a never ending wonderland of art, culture, ritual, and natural beauty, and the perfect island paradise escape.
