Bali, just off the eastern tip of Java, is easily the best known of the 17,000-odd islands that make up Indonesia - the world's largest archipelago. This tropical, volcanic island offers beautiful beaches and scenic landscapes of terraced hills, together with cultural attractions, all kinds of water and land-based activities and a number of top-quality hotels to choose from for your luxury holiday to Bali.
Bali is a predominantly Hindu island in the middle of the world's largest Muslim nation. The Balinese coast is home to excellent beach hotels offering a wide range of watersports, with the south coast particularly good for surfing and windsurfing.
Whilst the south is quite developed, there are still pockets of peace and serenity to be found, or you can simply enjoy the wealth of fantastic restaurants and bars, and independent boutiques springing up almost daily, in the trendy enclaves of Seminyak and Jimbaran.
Cultural and religious traditions are still at the heart of everyday life in Bali, from the floral offerings found at the door of every dwelling, to the myriad of ceremonies and celebrations occurring almost daily. Those who take the time to travel inland can explore ancient temples and local villages, great lakes and dormant volcanoes.
The north coast offers some of the island's best accessible snorkelling and diving, from the SS Liberty wreck at Tulamben, to the aquarium like coral gardens of Menjangan Island.
After some time exploring Bali, beach lovers may like to hop over to the neighbouring island of Lombok, with its laid back sandy beaches, and great snorkelling and diving. Alternatively, explore the world class temples and active volcanoes of Java. Bali is easily accessible, and is therefore easily combined with other destinations within Indonesia, and further afield in South-East Asia.

I wanted to say a very big thank you for organising such a memorable and heavenly honeymoon for us in Bali and Lombok. We really did have the most fantastic time and only wished we could have spent longer there especially in Ubud and Lombok. Thank you so much again for all your hard work, time and patience.
You said this was good but you have understated the welcome, the simplicity and the excellence of everything from the fitments in the suites, to the champagne welcome....the whole 9 yards!!!! What a paradise - We are going to love staying here! Thank you - great choice!

Having THE most wonderful time in Bali. Staying in an incredible place called the Hanging Gardens in Ubud. We're staying in the most luxurious thatched villa set into the rainforest, with infinity pool and amazing views over to a beautiful Hindu temple. Complete and utter luxury. I love Original Travel! Please tell Rachel she completely aced our itinerary. Off to do a Balinese cooking course tomorrow.
Just a short note to thank you for organising an amazing honeymoon. Everything from start to finish was superb, and of course being honeymooners got extra special treatment! Pol absolutely loved it. Thanks also for your lovely note which we got when arriving at the Alila Manggis. The itinerary was absolutely spot on - couple of days of relaxing, then a few activities around Ubud (in between lounging in the infinity pool admiring the jungle), then cooling our jets, with a bit of scuba diving thrown in, at the end in Lombok. Had such a great time.
Having a tough time re-adjusting to the northern European autumn, and having to make my own cups of tea and get my own drinks now!
Hope all is well, and thanks again for arranging everything.
What a nice surprise it was when I arrived back home from Bali yesterday and found the 'welcome back' package from you at the lobby reception. It really brought me back to Bali after all the travel hassle.
I had the most wondeful time! Everything was perfect - the hotel, the weather, and diving.
All in all, it was the perfect holiday with mola the best diving experience ever!
Thank you very much for making it all happen! I look forward to my future adventures with Original Diving!
