Surfing mecca, tropical paradise, center of bamboo architecture, "island of the gods" - Bali has many faces. The appeal of this Indonesian island is unsurpassed and attracts millions of visitors every year. A blend of spiritual meditation and pleasurable enjoyment, Bali exudes an energy that contradicts the stereotype of a quiet oasis. Local culture permeates daily life, with offerings, temples and ceremonies found around every corner. On the other hand, Bali also offers luxurious beach resorts and a wild nightlife.
With black sand beaches, dramatic volcanoes and countless waterfalls, the natural wealth in Bali is inspiring. The island's abundance of bamboo encouraged the development of bamboo architecture, which is widely used today. Cliffside villas, endless rice terraces and the vibrant surfing community combine to create a vivid picture of Bali, marked by the friendliness and warmth of its people.
