Luxury Vacations in Bali

Indonesia’s only Hindu Island – hence its nickname, the “Island of the Gods” – Bali is rooted in spirituality fused with a laid-back surfer mentality.

Boutique hotels and Brutalist concrete villas have sprouted in the past few years, alongside pretty shops peddling bamboo homewares and sage smudge bundles. You’re just as likely to sip a frosty Bintang beer here as you are a wellness-boosting kombucha, and in Ubud, Bali’s jungle-covered green heart, ancient temples and new-age yoga studios stand side by side. Meanwhile, young gun local chefs are taking over restaurants and re-interpreting local classics with zero-waste plant-based menus, serving Balinese flavours with a vegan twist.
