Any time is the right time

Its weather is mostly sunny with breezy nights and tropical days. Temperatures range from 25 to 30 degrees Celsius.

With the trademark infinity pools hanging from the edge of the Bali cliffs into the ocean, you are bound to shake off any stress you seem to have been recently experiencing due to everyday hustle and bustle at work. Bali’s infinity pools rarely fail to impress even the toughest among the visitors.

See the best beaches in the world
Bali is home to a wide range of postcard-like beaches. You can visit the palm fringed ones with white sand such as Kuta and Sanur where there is no noise. You can enjoy endless water activities without anyone whizzing by. If you are still looking for something more secluded, explore Uluwatu and Bingin in the hidden shores which have cliffs all around. If you are all in for surfing or stand up paddle boarding, you are at the right place because the water conditions are perfect. You can even try snorkelling and see the vast underwater biodiversity.

Best yoga teachers and spots in the world
Bali indeed is the place of ultimate tranquillity, and numerous yoga spots and excellent teachers add to its serenity. This is the centre where you can reach a positive state of mind and let go of all the hardships you have gone through. Don’t be surprised if you get encouraged to learn more about yoga itself. Numerous people have decided to become certified yoga teachers after experiencing yoga there. Go for Bali yoga teacher training and make this an ultimate holiday experience you can continue practicing even when you return home.
