Why Visit Bali?
Bali is a stunning Indonesian Island located just south of the equator. The island is both a popular backpacker destination as well as a luxury holiday spot. This paradise is unlike anywhere else, offering a range of gorgeous landscapes from volcanic mountains and verdant jungles to black sand and white sand beaches with breath-taking coral reefs.
The incredible beaches are perfect for any adrenaline junkie, with opportunities to dive and snorkel around the reef where you can witness remarkable sea life. The impressive wildlife doesn’t stop there, with monkeys, elephants, and komodo dragons to see on land! Ubud is the perfect place to immerse yourself in the island’s culture, known for being the centre of traditional arts and cultural dance and home to many monuments among its beautiful landscapes.
Whilst the range of thrill seeking activities and children-friendly hotels are fantastic for families, the gorgeous attractions and sights are great for couples on a romantic retreat. Any partygoers will enjoy a stay in Kuta where you’ll find mega-clubs, cheap drinks, and a variety of music.
There are regular flights from Dublin to Bali’s Denpasar airport with just one stopover. The airport is only 5 kilometres from Kuta, and 10 kilometres from Jimbaran, Seminyak, and Nusa Dua.
