The Island of a Thousand Temples
Bali is deeply spiritual, and its landscape is dotted with temples big and small. From the clifftop Uluwatu Temple to the serene water temple of Tirta Empul, each one is steeped in history and ceremony. Locals regularly place colourful offerings (called canang sari) on doorsteps and shrines – a daily reminder of the Balinese devotion to harmony and balance.
A Unique Blend of Cultures
Unlike the rest of Indonesia, which is largely Muslim, Bali is predominantly Hindu. This gives the island a distinct flavour – from its ornate religious festivals to its traditional dance, music and ceremonies. The result? A rich tapestry of culture that visitors are always welcome to experience and respect.
Diverse Regions, Each with a Vibe of Their Own
Bali may be small, but each corner has its own character. Seminyak is stylish and trendy, Ubud is artistic and serene, Canggu is the surfer's paradise, and Amed offers a laid-back diving retreat. You can go from beach club to jungle retreat in just a couple of hours – and feel like you’ve entered a whole new world.
Weather
Bali has a tropical climate with two main seasons: dry (May–October) and wet (November–April). The dry season is perfect for beach days and outdoor adventures, while the wet season brings lush greenery and fewer crowds.
Spoken Languages and Currency
The official language is Indonesian, but most locals in tourist areas speak good English. You’ll often also hear Balinese, a local dialect. The currency is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). Bargaining is common in markets – do it with a smile!
