The word Bali ignites the senses. For many, it is ecstasy, sheer bliss
and a sense of jubilation. Bali has countless bounties. Bali has countless
jewels, beaches, resorts, dive spots etc, but its essence lies in the warmth
spread out in air, which take its beyond just
reveling in the sun.
Here’s the pick of the
reasons which justifies that Bali is much more than just a place.

It doesn’t matter what time of the year it is, or in which area of Bali
you are, be it Seminyak or Ubud, you are vulnerable to hear the loud and
annoying crash of gamelan. Within no time, the streets get packed to the brim
by the mob of bizarrely dressed people, which carries along it mounds of fruit, pastel shaded parasols and a Barong or
two. But don’t you worry; it is a holy procession which vanishes faster than it
appears, leaving behind only the sparkles and hibiscus petals.

Whether it is for rejuvenating one’s mind, body or soul, or simply an
urge for getting pampered, visitors here spend many mesmerizing hours being
mollycoddled, massaged, bathed and scented. You undergo such sensuous
treatments on an atmospheric beach, or in manicured gardens or amidst the state
of the art and luxury dipped interiors. The Balinese massage therapies will
make you feel as if you have been reincarnated, thus it is a good strategy to
detox oneself.

It might sound
awkward, but your mouth will be gushed by water as soon as you step inside a
traditional warung for lunch to see plethora of exotic dishes waiting for you
on the counter. It is no wonder that this fertile island provides with abundant
of ingredients which when combined with fresh sea food produces aromatic
dishes. The specialties such as roasted mutton, which is marinated for hours
and then barbecued, will make you queuing up again and again.
