by caleb Posted on

If you would love to start your new life with your partner in style and class, one of the best honeymoon destinations that one could fly to is Bali. The turquoise, clear water of the sea and the soft white sandy beaches that spread a long way around the island join together to create a magical moment. The lush green fields that spread inland add more beauty to the surroundings.

If the both of you are into some adventure, the sea is the best place to experience some memorable moments. Surfing is one exciting option that one can experience; cut through the large waves that would come towards you and glide smoothly in the clear water, enjoying the soft breeze that caress your skin. Dive deep down and explore the amazing world under water. The colourful marine life and the beautiful corals are sure to keep you mesmerised.

While you walk through the streets of Bali, you would come across a huge number of temples that belongs to three major religions; namely Buddhism, Hinduism and Animism. This land is known as the island of 10,000 temples. Visitors may come across festivals organised by these temples that might be held frequently and seemingly without warning. Enjoy a bit of the Balinese culture by taking part in these festivals. Villages will parade through streets dressed in colourful attire dancing to the sounds of drums till late night.

If preferring a relaxed honeymoon, Bali caters to that type of vacation as well. The number of spas located both within hotels and privately is numerous. Choose a spa and indulge yourself in the luxury services offered by them. Have a late night dinner with you partner in a secluded area of the beach while the stars would shine above and the soft sound of the waves lapping the shore would be heard in the background. Walk on the soft sand during the sunset and watch the sky changing its colours making the environment romantic.

There are several ways that you could organize these romantic Bali tour packages. There are many agents that would provide this type of service. Out of all Sri Lanka travel agents, Mackinnons is considered as one of the best for this job. They would find the right places for an affordable price to help make your dream honeymoon come true.

Fascinating Discoveries

by Pushpitha Wijesinghe Posted on

The natural beauty that Bali is famous for owes much to its varied terrain. The island’s numerous beautiful aquatic features of lakes, waterfalls, rivers and streams are as well known as its beaches and Gitgit Waterfall is one such beauty spot. To see water cascading down a green wooded hillside of a tropical rainforest is one of the most attractive sights anywhere. Gitgit Waterfall, part of the Gitgit river system in northern Bali, 10 km from Singaraja town and 70 km from Denpasar, is one of the most visited places in Bali on account of the elegant plume of water dropping 35 meters straight down from the edge of a cliff into a pebble lined pool below. 

It is relatively easy to hike to Gitgit Waterfall as it is about 500 meters downhill off the main road and the access route is well defined and signposted. The best time to visit it would be during the dry season between May and October when it is not dangerous to bathe under the waterfall as the water flow is generally less than during the wet season. There is also less likelihood of dangerous debris rushing down the hillside. Gitgit during the dry season is an ideal location to enjoy a dip in the pool below the falls, relax in the cool water just listening to the sound of water falling and gurgling away. However the waterfall is at its best during the wet months from November to April when the cascade is at its most spectacular and the water is really cold. Local legend has it that honeymooners should not swim in it as separation is inevitable if they do so. This is perhaps hinting at the danger of swimming under any waterfall the height of Gitgit. The thunderous roar of the waterfall is what greets visitors even before it comes into view and the first glimpses of Gitgit through the trees are always spectacular especially with the sun glinting off the falling water. 

Enjoy exceptionally spacious and very well appointed suites and villas with romantic touches like bathtubs on balconies, outdoor terraces, Jacuzzis and plunge pools enhanced by beautiful sea views. Anantara Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa with its spectacular clifftop location provides its own daily fabulous and constantly evolving nature shows accessible from almost all areas of the hotel. Stay at one of the renowned Bali resorts and enjoy amazing service, facilities and a brand of hospitality that is among the best that Uluwatu hotels can offer.
