Bali, in between mountains, rice paddies, and white sand beaches, living in Bali, is the dream destination to live and work in a paradisiacal and wild environment.
Why live in Bali?
Bali, an Indonesian island in the Indian Ocean, is one of the archipelago's largest islands and receives the most tourists. Famous for its wooded mountains, rice paddies, beaches, and coral reefs, its rich flora and fauna ensure a complete change of scenery compared to Europe.
Bali is also the assurance of a friendly atmosphere where "social/human" interaction is omnipresent.
The island is also a religious sanctuary, housing many monuments dedicated to worship, such as the Uluwatu temple built on top of a sheer cliff.
For the city dwellers, Denpasar, the largest city on the island, welcomes you with its many bars and its lively nightlife.
The dry season, from April to October, is the ideal time to enjoy the island's wonders, but the rainy season can also be an unusual experience!

The fauna is as rich inland as in the sea.
The crab monkey is omnipresent on the hiking trails and wander freely in the temple of Pura Pulaki.

Visiting Bali is an opportunity to observe its seabed treasures, such as the corals or dolphins of Lovina Beach in the north of the island.
Swimming with turtles or manta rays is now within flipper range.
Balinese Hinduism
Unlike the rest of Indonesia, where most citizens are Muslims, most of Bali's inhabitants - about 90% - practice some form of Hinduism.
Their lively festivals are a MUST!
The Galungan ceremony, the largest festival in Bali, is celebrated every 210 days and lasts for 10 days. It celebrates the victory of virtue (dharma) over evil (adharma). The famous Barong dance, during which dancers move from one temple to another, providing offerings to the gods, is a colorful event.
…and many more riches treasures to discover
Art is also central to the life in Bali, with its songs, dances, plays and sculptures. By the way, Bali’s language does not feature the word "artist", art is simply part of the everyday life.
The time goes according to three calendars. The saka, Hindu calendar that follows the moon cycles, the wuku, the calendar of Balinese festivals and the Gregorian used to plan daily life in Bali.
Most Balinese welcome foreigners with open arms so that they feel at home.
Adapting to this new lifestyle is therefore easy.
