Bali

Bali is an island, one of many that make up Indonesia. It is hugely popular with Australian tourists and tourists of many nationalities. Bali is famous for volcanoes, mountains, stunning rice terraces, beaches, tourist attractions, good, cheap food, snorkelling, scuba diving and surfing. The island is also famously Hindu in a Muslim country and offers stunning temples such as the cliffside Uluwatu Temple. Kuta is the big beach resort town and has a dubious reputation and plenty of lively bars. Seminyak, Legian, Sanur and Nusa Dua are popular beach resort towns. Ubud is in the centre of the island and is hugely popular with travellers and tourists, many digital nomads make long term bases here. Yoga and meditation retreats are popular.

The most expensive coffee in the world, coffee Kopi Luwak, starts with a Civet in Bali. These little civets are hard at work processing coffee beans to make Kopi Luwak.
