Bali often receives mixed reactions from people. You either love it, or you hate it. I’d struggle to find someone who sits on the fence when it comes to the idyllic Indonesian island.

For me, it’s the ultimate holiday. There are many reasons why I love Bali and I’m sure that some of those align with the reasons other people hate it. Its close proximity to Australia; cheap airfares (if you book at the right time); gracious hospitality of the locals and the warm, balmy nights are just a few elements that help secure Bali a sacred place in my heart. But it’s the amazing food that will continue to keep me coming back again and again. The calibre of restaurants and cafes on the island matches the high standard that I enjoy in Melbourne, minus the gigantic bill at the end of the night. Whether you are wanting to spend a romantic evening overlooking the beach or grab a quick and healthy lunch, the options in Bali are sure to satisfy every traveller’s needs.
