Who doesn’t crave peace? With International Peace Day here, it feels like the right moment to pause and wander into the quiet corners of Bali — places where calm isn’t an idea, but something you can truly feel. Peace wears many faces in Bali. Sometimes it’s a forest spa, sometimes a riverside sanctuary, or even […]
Morning in Ubud begins softly. Yoga mats are laid on dewy grass, the first light of the sun drifting over rice fields, and the steady rhythm of breath guiding the day. The sounds of nature are part of the practice — a rooster in the distance, the hum of cicadas, the rustle of palm leaves. […]
Bali’s shopping malls are a little different from the usual. They are not just about racks and tills—they are spaces where the island seeps in. Open-air corridors, water features, pockets of greenery, the occasional scent of incense or frangipani carried on a warm breeze. Even amid the bustle of Kuta, Seminyak, and Denpasar, these malls […]
Hidden deep in North Bali’s jungle is Sekumpul Waterfall, often called the “King of Waterfalls.” Getting there feels like a journey into a secret world: a path winding past rice fields, across bamboo bridges, and down narrow shaded steps. When you first see Sekumpul, it takes your breath away. Seven streams of water tumble down […]
The first time you see Kelingking Cliff, it’s hard to believe it’s real. From above, the headland curves out toward the sea in the unmistakable shape of a giant T-Rex, as if frozen mid-stride.

There are times in Bali when only a steak will do — charred over wood, sliced just right, and enjoyed slowly.

What […]

Every year on 19 August, the world celebrates World Photography Day—a moment to honour the craft of freezing time, capturing feeling, and telling stories without saying a word. And while Bali is no stranger to the camera, there’s more to shoot than swinging over rice fields or posing by infinity pools. This year, we skip […]
Every August, the red and white flag flutters across archipelagos and alleyways. There are parades, sack races, and echoes of “Merdeka!” shouted from schoolyards to state halls. But behind the fireworks and festive chaos lies something deeper—a quiet, powerful story of resilience. This Independence Day, we step beyond the usual fanfare to rediscover the meaning […]
Part of our “Meet IN” series: A gentle spotlight on people behind the island’s soul. Across Bali and the surrounding archipelago, weaving is more than tradition — it’s a spiritual act of storytelling.
