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 holiday 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 holiday 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.

Really brilliant - it was our honeymoon and we really had a fabulous time. It was so well organised by the operator which took a lot of the stress out of travelling which was exactly what we needed with such a complicated itinerary. The hotels we stayed in were second to none - really fabulous and we were spoilt rotten!

The ecolodge was very comfortable with friendly hosts who were able to tell us a lot about the wildlife of Indonesia.

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.
