Indonesia
Water temples, jungle gates and turquoise coves on the Island of the Gods.
Why go
Bali is green, spiritual and endlessly photogenic. Temples float on mountain lakes, stone gates open onto jungle, and every morning begins with small offerings of flowers left on doorsteps.
Split your stay between Ubud's rice terraces and craft villages and a beach base in the south, then take the fast boat to Nusa Penida for the most dramatic coastline in Indonesia.
Don't miss
The temple that seems to float on Lake Bratan, high in the cool mountains of central Bali.
Towering cliffs, secret coves and water in impossible shades of blue, a day trip by fast boat.
Rice terraces, markets and dance performances in Ubud, and the famous split gate in the northern hills.
