Succumb to beautiful Bali, that riveting island of the gods, a palette of cultural hues.

Kampung Party
Discover, with a skip of your heart, the old-world charm of kampung life. Sun-kissed young maidens sashay by your side as they escort you through a traditional Balinese hamlet. Muted sounds of the gamelan spiral up the gravel track. Elsewhere, a banjar meeting draws to a gentle pause. In someone's front yard, villagers are bristling with the anticipation of a cockfight. Then, the aromatic scent of roast suckling pig, barbecued lamb, grilled prawns and fried noodles comes over you like a spasm, and you yield to it with pleasure.

Pasar Malam
The moon's yellow pool o f radiance spotlights the thriving clamour of the night market. Here and there, a kerosene lamp gyrates idly in the balmy breeze; palm fronds unburden their weight of emerald onto rustic bamboo stalks. Colour, confusion, hilarity are a vivid seasoning to succulent grilled satay and other local fare.

Royal Rajalaya
A ceremonial procession of Balinese ladies emblazoned with multi-tiered offering meanders its way past windswept rice fields. The backdrop is banked with regal statues of Balinese gods. Feast like royalty against an ambience of drama and dance, and the hallowed splendour of the Mengwi Temple. Dinner is rijstaffel, a spread of delicately spiced Indonesian dishes in its truly majestic tradition.

Rustic Bali
Fountaining palms fan your imagination, your dream of retiring to a life of pastoral simplicity. Farm animals graze and loll about contentedly in grassy meadows. While the beat of the beleganjur percussion procession slowly filters through your senses, dancers pound your sight with vibrant moves of classical pageants on stages; meanwhile, doting farm-hands treat you to a night that will forever linger in your memory.
