As Indonesia’s only Hindu island, Bali is a peaceful, spiritual and welcoming place to visit. Away from the more populated tourist enclaves are a plethora of breathtaking beaches, scenic rice paddies, and charming towns. A Bali vacation is a wonderful way to recharge your batteries, meet some truly heart-warming local peple, eat some outstanding Balinese cuisine, and immerse yourself in a charismatic and fascinating culture.

I hesitate to write this review for selfish reasons. Why? Because this vacation is so wonderful I'd rather keep it a secret! Situated on the southern slopes of Mt Batakaru in remotest Bali, this place is a pocket of paradise, far removed from the ravages of the 21st century. Having spent a week there I did not want to leave.
(more)Snorkelling, climbing the volcano and learning about the particular kind of Hinduism practised in Bali were the most memorable parts. (more)WOW! So many different experiences and so many wonderful people. Climbing Mt Batur at 4am to see the sun rise was a major highlight and swimming in the cool clear waterfall in Lombok. (more)The ecolodge was very comfortable with friendly hosts who were able to tell us a lot about the wildlife of Indonesia. (more)Every part of our week long stay at the lodge was memorable. We had the best week of our lives! (more)We invite every traveler who books a vacation via us to send in a review.
