Food, Glorious Food: Dining in Bali is a necessity and an attraction all rolled into one; that's why both the island's residents and holiday makers are always on the lookout for places and dishes of the best quality and value. And this is where we come in with this issue; we traversed Bali's vast culinary landscape to bring a special feature on food that's informative and entertaining...

This month, we look at music and nightlife in the capital, including the interview with musicians and the guide to Jakarta's music scene.


Behind the glitz and glamour of Bali’s south, there is a myriad of orphanages that house many underprivileged children, and those with disabilities. And it’s not a secret that poverty has been shown to negatively influence the health and development of these unfortunate people in a number of ways. Fortunately there are good people who dedicate their lives to help thousands of unfortunate individuals and families.

Annually, Bali offers a variety of events; there are literally thousands of ceremonies, sports activities, literary gatherings, cooking demonstrations, musical performances, and cultural fairs. These events are beneficial in one way or another to everyone. Without forgetting that the focus of any travel experience is to immerse oneself in the culture whilst enjoying the landscape the region has to offer, these events are ways to be one with Bali.


In this issue we have not passed in the villages and priests of the temple guardians and priests.

Learning about Bali is like peeling off the layers of an onion - its mask comes off one thin layer at a time to gradually reveal what’s really inside. In other words, to have a closer look at Bali and get a deeper insight into the island, you need to escape from Bali’s popular tourist hubs, exploring the island’s countrysides and deepest corners to encounter the real Bali. We did just that.

Bali is home to some of the world’s most stunning spas. From traditional herbs and natural healing remedies, to modern, luxurious body and beauty treatments, a spa getaway in Bali offers a total renewal experience, and is guaranteed to help soothe the senses and heal the soul.


We invite you to celebrate Love this month

To welcome the new year, our team of writers and editors set out to the many corners of the island to find the best that Bali has to offer


If you’re spending your Christmas and New Year in Bali, you’ll be happy to hear that hotels and restaurants are offering a huge range of specials

As the moon rises, the nocturnal side of Bali comes to life, changing the face of the island into something equally inviting.

Sport is a very strange pastime: playtime for the well off, a distraction for the rich, a necessity for the deskbound, an obsession for the body worshippers, and an absolutely unnecessary luxury for the labourer.

We take a look at Indonesia's creative soul this month and hope to inspire, enlighten and enrich you with our stories

The other modern Bali beach obsession is the Beach Club where the surfers and nonsurfers gather to preen and party in sleek and sophisticated bars and restaurants on the edge of the beach.

Go and see Bali first before you go shopping. Enjoy the countryside, the temples, the museums, the rivers, the forests and mountains, then in the evenings walk the streets and find your ultimate gifts in the cooler air!

Bali is known to be a center of art but when you go looking for its heart, it’s hard to find. That’s why we are taking you on an artistic journey this month!

At first glance, Jakarta may not seem like a kid-friendly place, but look again and you'll discover that there are many fun activities and places to discover in around and the city for families with children.

Kids Fun: This waterpark has all categories of slides for various age group. If you are coming with toddlers, then 'Funtastic" is the place they will love...

Charity Profile: After the tragic death of Annika Linden in the 2002 Bali bombing, the Annika Linden Foundation was formed to create something positive out of this terrible tragedy..

Bali Watering Holes

DINING - We look into the newly-opened Manisan in Ubud. Traditional dishes with a contemporary edge, centuries-old pièces de résistance, and soothing views of the surrounding rice fields. It’s a dining experience you won’t forget.

CHARITY PROFILE - Arjun Bhogal has been traveling on foot from his hometown in Cardiff, South Wales, United Kingdom, to New South Wales in Australia. He aims to raise awareness on the global need for clean water.

Bali's Best-kept Secrets

SPA - Experience a holistic therapy that combines a body detox massage with the healing power of crystals and singing bowls to balance body, mind and spirit up in Uluwatu at Anantara Spa.

REAL BALI - This section shows how the Balinese are surrounded by art and culture throughout their lives, as both are omnipresent on the island. The Balinese make art out of the most basic necessities in their daily lives, and here we honour them through stories in:

The Food Issue

CHAÎNE DES RÔTISSEURS - The invitation on the 25 June 2016 to Alila Seminyak promised an extraordinary Chapitre de Bailliage de Bali Gala Evening in the ballroom of a luxury beachside resort, with a unique seven-course menu and delightful selection of ne wines.

CHARITY PROFILE - Underneath the glamorous, sybaritic and prosperous face of Bali there is another layer which tourists seldom see: that of extreme poverty, destitution and untreated illness.

Going Off The Beaten Path

DINING - Currently in our beloved South Bali, barely a day passes without news of an exciting new restaurant opening, or a groundbreaking, must-try dish. Yet despite the big gun chains and more storming into town, and creating traffic jams and seating areas that overlook the gridlocked road, FIRE seems to keep on going north..

Bali Coastal Living

KID’S FUN - At this time of the year, Bali usually boasts great weather that makes white sand beaches with its softly lapping waves perfect for a day out in the sun. Although, a day at the beach can be quite monotonous, especially for the kids, so this month we looked into Surf and Turf, where beach club meets water park for an ultimate family outing.

Exceptional Bali

CHARITY PROFILE - The Garden of Life Foundation is an incredibly unique and ambitious project here in Bali that aims to unite people, communities and businesses together to help the island’s existing charities to grow further and prosper.

The Spa & Wellness Issue

DINING - Many come to Bali in search of Indonesian flavours, a restaurant that has the right space for decadent dinners, intimate dates or memorable group gatherings. Republik 45 is one such place that seems to have it all.

Bali For The Family

SHOPPING - Set over eight hectares in the BTDC Complex Nusa Dua, Bali Collection is a lavish shopping and dining spot.
