Find a mystical allure in Bali

Category: Asia Travel Insurance News
Bali has a lot to offer visitors

Bali is full of beautiful sights and interesting activities to suit people of all tastes, it is claimed.

Travel insurance policyholders heading to Bali could find they discover a "mystical allure" during their stay.

That is the suggestion of Sanjay Sondhi, chief executive officer at OM Tourism, who says the island "seduces the heart and soul alike".

He claims the novel Eat, Pray, Love - which was partially set in Bali and adapted to a film starring Julia Roberts - could have been entirely shot there, because it is "as much about spirituality and tranquillity as it is about romance and sensuality, adventure and shopping".

It is possible to swim with dolphins or head to the rice fields of Ubud, as well as relaxing in five-star hotel complexes and dining at one of many chic restaurants.

The sacred temple at Tanah Lot and Ulluwata offer a completely different experience, says Mr Sondhi.

"Impeccable" service awaits those who head to Bali and there are many "world-class" spa treatments to be sampled, the expert adds.

Indonesia has a number of other popular tourist hotspots, such as its capital Jakarta, which has value-for-money shops in the Bandung district and excellent night life.

Families might consider visiting Makassar in Sulawesi as it contains the largest indoor theme park in the region, Mr Sondhi reveals.

Adrenaline-junkies might be pleased to hear it is possible to go deep-sea diving, cruising, climbing, river rafting and cycling on the Indonesian islands, so there is sure to be something to please people of all tastes.

Mr Sondhi explains it is hard to name an activity that is not on offer on the bustling island of Bali.
