Bali’s reputation as a wellness destination has expanded well beyond yoga and spa rituals.

Bali is known for its temples, rice fields and beachside rituals, but for many travellers, it is the island’s spiritual depth that leaves the strongest impression.

Bali has always been an easy sell for Australians - short flight times, familiar comforts and a lifestyle that feels instantly accessible.

Whether you’re chasing world-class sunset views, creative cocktails, or hidden speakeasy vibes, Bali’s bar scene has grown into one of the island’s most compelling after-dark experiences.

For Australians planning a Bali escape, the timing is quietly working in your favour.

For Putu Wiranata, hospitality was never an abstract idea; it was the family business, the dinner-table conversation, the backdrop to growing up between cultures and continents.

Bali’s dining scene has matured into one of the most compelling in the region, a place where world-class chefs, local produce and destination-worthy settings come together after dark.

Bali’s vibrant culture doesn’t just live in its beaches and temples; it’s also etched onto skin.

Seminyak remains one of Bali’s most reliable bases, especially for solo travellers.
