Bali is known as the ‘Island of the Gods’ for very good reason. Even after decades of tourism, it remains a favourite escape for couples, families, groups of friends and solo travellers looking for natural and mystical beauty. As Lightfoot Travel takes frequent trips to the island, we can share our insider knowledge of locations, activities, local food and boutique stays to provide you with the ultimate Balinese experience.
If you’re looking for culture and history, beaches and jungle, superb spas and eateries, designer hotels and wellness resorts – you’ll find it in Bali. Situated off the eastern tip of Java, it’s awash with scenic landscapes and fascinating cultural sites. A predominantly Hindu island in the middle of the world’s largest Muslim nation, there’s something here for everyone whether you want to embark on a spiritual adventure, relax at a beach club, or discover Bali’s art, architecture and booming design scene.
Head inland to find serenity in the terraced hills of Ubud, the cultural and cosmopolitan capital of the island. Check into a plush private villa and cool off in a deep plunge pool, explore the flourishing health food scene or enrol in a spiritually cleansing yoga course.

It is also a surfer’s paradise, and enthusiasts gather from all over the world to ride Bali’s legendary breaks.
