Those who are looking for hot places to sunbathe go to Bali.

But why bother going to the other end of the world only for a wonderful beach? It would be very tactless to overlook one of the most primal and magical cultures in the world that accompanies these wonderful environmental conditions. Bali is indeed a mystical island. In this place you will see the remnants of civilization and religion that were intact during the reign of the Dutch or Japanese. Bali's past dates back 2,500 years and this complex history has its mark on its distinctive architecture, tradition, technique and forms of play.

 Let's start with the fact that the main peak in the volcanic mountain range, Agung, is considered by the local people to be the seat of the gods. After all, it is a source of drinking water, and therefore the fertility of the island covered with tropical forests. This mixture of pagan beliefs and Hinduism has produced a religion that is celebrated with great frequency. Bali is not only an island of numerous churches (as they can be seen in even the smallest towns), but also 200 times a year there is a unique opportunity to worship the gods and offer them gifts. The temples that you will see in Bali are characterized by fantastic, figural and floral patterns, many local works of art from the category of goldsmithing and armor art were also created. These are the crafts that are characteristic of this island. Balinese folklore is also rare gamelan music. This tiny island is the cultural uniqueness of Indonesia. It is therefore a wonderful destination that guarantees you new attractions every day.

An additional advantage of Bali is the climate with an average annual temperature of 25-27 degrees Celsius. July and August are one of the coldest, which in Bali means that they do not exceed 30 degrees. The season is here all year round though! The mild climate is great for any type of relaxation. Head to the south of Bali for beautiful beaches, perfect surfing and nightlife. In the north of the island, you can visit mystical black beaches, whose color is due to volcanic magma. This is where you will find a real oasis of respite, thanks to fewer tourists. When visiting Bali, don't forget to visit the museums. One of the most interesting is the museum of Balinese art in Denspar, also go to Ubud where the center of Balinese painting is located and two other interesting art museums - the Puri Lukisan museum and the Neka Museu.

When visiting Bali, try to find a mental balance. This is what is most essential in the life of the Balinese people. The search for a balance in life is deeply rooted in their religion, to be found between night and day, gods and demons, death and life. It is this equilibrium that guarantees abundance, and the tasting of demons and the worship of the spirits also help. So don't forget to make a pleading gift in front of your home, in a rickshaw or in front of a Balinese home door. Remember, however, that instead of cash, Balinese deities prefer leaves with rice grains varied with flowers! Do you need more arguments to choose your holiday in Bali? It is the only island of its kind that meets your requirements without any problems, and Bali is a destination for those who are looking for hot spots to sunbathe.
