The beautiful Indonesian island of Bali is a paradise on earth of perfect beaches, stunning mountain scenery carved into rice paddy steps, and a pace of life that has remained unchanged for generations.
Well developed as a tourist destination, where you can enjoy the facilities of great value hotels on the beach, while only a short distance away from the bustle of the main resort town of Kuta, you can find yourself in the middle of unspoilt countryside, where the only sounds you can hear are your own heart beating and the silence of nature at rest.
An island of contrasting landscapes and peoples, the Balinese people are divorced from the paradise that surrounds them, and have scant regard for the tourists who flood into their home, preferring to concentrate on their own lives and struggles. Bali has different faces depending on where you look, on the beaches, the world class hotels where people enjoy honeymoons and other special holidays face the stunning seascapes off the coast, while behind them, inland, local people live day to day lives, without even having a word for paradise in their own language despite being surrounded by it.
People come to Bali from all over the world to relax, spend money and enjoy themselves, but few see the island as it actually is, a flawed place split by experience and viewpoint as much as by wealth. Come to Bali, but look at the island as a whole, and your experience will be much richer, and all the more pleasant for making the effort.
