The best hotels in Bali will guarantee you the highest standard of relaxation, among the exotic jungle or on the breathtaking coast. Indonesia however, it is not only Bali, but many smaller and larger, but equally interesting islands.
We highly recommend sightseeing and leisure trips around the islands of Indonesia. We especially recommend:
A 3-day stay in Java with a visit to the Prambanan and Borobudur temples, followed by a 5-day stay in Ubud, the so-called the green heart of Bali, and a few days' rest on Nusa Dua or Uluwatu.
The biggest attractions of Ubud are the Monkey Forest, which is great entertainment for the whole family, the Royal Palace, a market where you can find unusual and unique products, and, above all, Pura Taman Saraswati, which is a Hindu temple dedicated to the goddess Saraswati, also known as the goddess of Wisdom. But that's not all, because it is also worth visiting Gitgit Waterfalls, which are one of the most beautiful natural attractions in Bali, and the Goa Gajah Temple, known as the Elephant Cave Temple, thanks to the silhouette of an animal drawn at the entrance.
Java, in turn, is an incredibly diverse island, and the most interesting places to visit are Merdeka Square - Independence Square, the National Museum, the Jakarta History Museum, the Wayang Indonesian Theater Museum and the Sunda Kelepa Port. For the curious, Taman Mini Indonesia India Park is also recommended, which is a park presenting Indonesia in miniature. And all those who love old things should visit Julan Surabaya - a street filled with antique shops, among which you can find real gems. The cultural capital of Java, which is a must-visit for all art lovers, is Yogyakarta. It is primarily the capital of music, painting, dance and batik, i.e. local handicrafts.
3-day Bali tour: National Parks, volcanoes, Ubud, a few days in Kuta, then a few days on Lombok or Komodo Island.
The most important national parks in Bali are West Bali National Park with lush green forests, picturesque mountain ranges, crystal clear blue waters and vast stretches of pristine beaches; Elephant Safari Park, home to the largest herd of Sumatran elephants on the island, with a total of 31. Set amidst lush botanical gardens and jungle, the park offers visitors the opportunity to interact with the resident giants and have an amazing time. Among other national parks, we also find the innovative Bali Bird Park, which appeared on the ecotourism scene in Bali over 20 years ago and today is committed to preserving, protecting and breeding not only exotic birds of Indonesia, but also those from other regions.
Stay on 3 different and very different islands: Java, Bali and Sumba.
NIHI, Sumba – In 2016 and 2017, Travel & Leisure Magazine named this hotel the best hotel in the world. The property offers its guests a wide range of facilities and the opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich culture of the island and learn about local traditions. Located near the beach, Nihi Sumba is surrounded by beautiful rock formations and natural pools that are formed at low tide.
Discover pristine Sumba! This is an unusual and not very touristy island that is part of the Lesser Sunda Islands. It is located southwest of Flores. You can get to the island by plane from both Bali and Jakarta.
