About Bali
About 8 degrees south of the equator in the Indian Ocean, Bali is just one of 17,000 islands in the world’s largest archipelago, Indonesia. (give or take 1000 depending on the tides!) Less than 4,000 islands are actually inhabited. Bali today, has a population of nearly 4 million in a nation of 270 million people. Located between Java and Lombok, and known for tropical beaches, lush valleys and sacred volcanoes, Bali maintains a unique society blending art and ritual in daily life. Terraced rice-fields, skilled artisans, dancers and gamelan musicians, Bali is a place that has touched many visitors with its welcoming hospitality.
Ubud, as the arts and cultural center of island, is where you can begin your journey into the heart of Balinese culture.
