About Bali
Bali is Indonesia's Hindu island — a single destination with four completely different experiences: jungle-and-yoga Ubud, surf-and-nightlife Canggu, beach-club luxury Seminyak/Kerobokan, and clifftop-resort Uluwatu. Rice terraces and volcanoes fill the interior; the Gili Islands, Nusa Penida and Lombok extend the trip east. Nusa Dua and Jimbaran anchor the family-resort belt.
