April, May, June, July, August, September, October

Bali has postponed its reopening and it’s unlikely that travel to Bali will be possible until 2021. But when borders reopen you can be among the first people to visit Bali. The only challenge with Bali is over-tourism and when visitors numbers are lower the experience is much nicer. Enjoy famous temples but without the crowds. Escape to paradise beaches. And find your own Balinese bliss on this seven-day experience.
