Bali is regarded as the gem in Indonesia’s golden chain of equatorial islands. This tiny island, about the size of Bank’s Peninsula, has lost none of its glitter and is still one of the most popular and idyllic tourist destinations in South-East Asia. Bali has a spectacular landscape, from sun-drenched beaches to jungle-clad mountains and volcanoes. It has a rich cultural heritage and a wide range of tourist hotels to suit all budgets.
