Bali

A volcano-dotted, beach-fringed paradise that’s serene and sensational by turns, from the green slopes of Mt Batur to the Bintang bodegas on Seminyak’s main party strip. But for all its mega resorts and yoga studios, Bali’s really about the little treasures. An out-of-the-way village stay at Sidemen, diving the impossibly blue waters off Lovina, soaking in the Banja hot springs, or sipping smoothies in Ubud’s organic cafes. As always, when it comes to paradise, the hardest bit is choosing what to do first.
