Introducing Bali
Wednesday, 29 March 2012
Labels: Indonesia
Bali may be small in size – you can drive around the entire coast in
one long day – but its prominence as a destination is huge, and
rightfully so. Ask travellers what Bali means to them and you’ll get as
many answers as there are flowers on a frangipani tree. Virescent rice
terraces, pulse-pounding surf, enchanting temple ceremonies, mesmerising
dance performances and ribbons of beaches are just some of the images
people cherish.

Small obviously doesn’t mean limited. The manic whirl of Kuta segues into the luxury of Seminyak. The artistic swirl of Ubud is a counterpoint to misty treks amid the volcanoes. Mellow beach towns like Amed, Lovina and Pemuteran can be found right round the coast and just offshore is the laid-back idyll of Nusa Lembongan.
As you stumble upon the exquisite little offerings left all over the
island that materialise as if by magic, you’ll see that the tiny
tapestry of colours and textures is a metaphor for Bali itself.
And those are just some of the more obvious qualities. A visit to
Bali means that you are in the most visitor-friendly island of Indonesia.
There are pleasures of the body, whether a massage on the beach or a
hedonistic interlude in a sybaritic spa. Shopping that will put ‘extra
bag’ at the top of your list. Food and drink ranging from the freshest
local cuisine bursting with the flavours of the markets to food from
around the globe, often prepared by chefs and served in restaurants that
are world class. From a cold Bintang at sunset to an epic night
clubbing in Kuta, your social whirl is limited only by your own fortitude.
