Bali is known for beach culture, thumping nightlife, and adventure type holidays, but in reality it is so much more than that.
It’s a mecca of cultural wonders, foodie delights and breathtaking adventure activities, and being a hop-skip-and-a-jump away from Australia (around six-hours on a flight to be exact) it’s the perfect way to indulge your wanderlust without having to battle a hint of jet lag.
Bali is where I go to relax, where I go to indulge and where I like to send my friends when the circles under their eyes grow too dark and their will to live gets less and less.
Here are a few of my favourite places, hidden gems you won’t find within the pages of the popular guidebooks.
