Fine beaches, like the eight kilometre golden curve of Kuta with its pounding surf, a lush interior with emerald green rice terraces and an exceptional artistic community in Ubud combine to make this tiny volcanic gem a jewel in the crown of Indonesia’s many scattered islands. ‘Old Bali’ with its royal palaces, grand ruins and water palaces built by the last Raja convey the extravagant sweep of kingly ambition. Elegant Hindu temples such as Pura Luhur Uluwatu, one of Bali’s holiest temples dedicated to the spirits of the sea and spectacular festivals in the cultural centre of Ubud have ensured that Bali has retained its original charm and character.
