Karte Blanche & Co SOJOURN Bali

Bali

‘And like tea dissolving in hot water, the sun dissolved in the sky creating a velvet horizon, announcing for the stars’ night dance with the moon, the awaited joy for the wounded souls.

From Bali – The Rebirth.’ by Abeer Allan

Bali

Bali - the enchanting province often called Indonesia’s crown jewel, attracting wanderers from every corner of the world. From the cool cafés of Seminyak and the abundance of health & wellness options in Ubud, to rolling rice paddies and stretches of beautiful coastline of white sand and turquoise waves. Bali is part of the Coral Triangle, an area with the greatest marine biodiversity in the world. Bali is also home to most of Indonesia’s Hindu minority and boasts a vibrant art scene and rich cultural heritage. Known as The Island of the Gods, thousands of Hindu temples are to be found scattered all over the island. Bali's landscapes are all wonderfully diverse with each region offering unique scenery and set of activities - and its own magical atmosphere.
