Bali's biggest resort, Mulia.

Is Bali's largest resort really one of the best in the world?

It's rated among the world's best, but can a resort that accommodates more than 1500 guests be all that relaxing?

The Indonesian island of Sumbawa.

This gentle journey leaves Bali far behind

You can see passengers decompressing, shedding their clothes, giving up on trying to comb their wind-tangled hair.

It's a slow sail of creaking canvas and gentle swells, to beautiful places where I rediscover the joy of doing nothing.

The modern Alila Seminyak is a step up from the more rustic aesthetic at Alila Manggis.

Robust massages are just some of the treats at Bali sister properties, Alila Seminyak and Alila Manggis.

Sofitel Nusa Dua, where wading your way to the swim-up bar and cafe can be a daily treat.

Choosing is a fun problem to have.

It's a smokey, heady scent that fills the Indonesian air; a combination of tropical fruits, grilled chicken, or smokey motorbikes as they roar down the street. While farmers in conical hats work their picturesque rice fields, women sashay through markets in batik sarongs. Outside the cities, gamelan music tinkers from ancient temples, and old forests hum with sounds from exotic critters.
