Information for Travelers
Bali is a province of Indonesia and the westernmost of the Lesser Sunda Islands.
East of Java and west of Lombok, the province includes the island of Bali and some smaller neighboring islands, in particular Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan.
Bali is one of the most evocative and popular tourist islands in the entire Indonesian archipelago.
The heady fragrance of incense and clove oil wafts through the thick tropical air.
Despite the clamor and chaos of the main tourist areas, the island is rich in natural beauty, with attractions for all types of travellers.
Surfers arrive in search of legendary waves, hikers climb volcanic jungle peaks to misty waterfalls, and cyclists cycle through lush landscapes dotted with rice terraces and traditional villages.
Culture
Ever since the famous book and movie Eat, Pray, Love highlighted this enchanting island, tourist crowds have undeniably increased.
But you can still experience old Bali if you veer off the beaten path.
Spirituality adds another layer to Bali's allure, and seeing the magnificent Hindu temples and sacred ceremonies are the best things to do in Bali.
