Bali Holiday Villas ? Spend Your Holiday in a Private Luxury Villa and Really Enjoy Bali!
The Island of the Gods has long been Balis unofficial title, and with good reason. Few places on Earth can compete with all that Bali can offer. The amazing landscape, local culture, and the pleasant climate combine to create the perfect vacation destination for people of all ages and incomes. Avoiding the crowded hotels in the busier areas of Bali by renting one of the many available Bali holiday villas will help immerse visitors in the serenity that this Indonesian island has to offer, making it difficult to leave. So just what is it exactly that makes Bali such a special place?
Temperatures in Bali hover between sixty eight to ninety three degrees Fahrenheit year round. A rainy season occurs from December to March, but even then the rains usually only occur in the evenings and pass fairly quickly, thereby allowing people who may be on a budget to take advantage of lower rates on Bali holiday villas while still enjoying all that the Island of the Gods has to offer. These comfortable weather conditions make Bali a great destination for holidays no matter what time of year it may be. But climate is only a very small part of Balis irresistible appeal.
Nearly all of Balis majestic mountains are volcanoes, either dormant or active. Many people elect to make the two hour trek to the summit of Mount Bator, a very active volcano that continuously smolders and smokes. The fairly easy climb makes it one of the most accessible volcanoes in Indonesia and even in all of Asia. The volcanic nature of Bali’s landscape ensures that the vast majority of its beaches are covered in black sand, a unique sight for many western visitors. Many of the best Bali holiday villas will afford guests a view of both the mountains and black beaches. As you journey further inland, lush valleys, green forests, and impressive rice paddies take over the landscape.
The culture of Bali is rooted deeply in Hinduism, and you can see its influence in many places. Numerous religious temples dot the Island, ranging in both intricacy and beauty. Many festivals also take place over certain dates, giving visitors a unique perspective of local culture. Many of the locals gather at popular restaurants to enjoy the legendary sunsets visible across the island, and the sense of community is impressive and unique. Many Bali holiday villas will offer transportation as part of your amenities, helping you see the sights of the island with greater ease than you would normally otherwise have.
Bali is indeed a very special travel destination, and a luxurious and private Bali holiday villa can mean the difference between and average holiday and an absolutely unforgettable dream holiday on the Island of the Gods!

The Temples and Religion of Bali
Article by Anwar H
A majority Hindu island in an overwhelmingly Muslim nation, Bali is perhaps the most culturally unique island in Indonesian archipelago. Known as the island of a thousand temples, religion plays an important role in everyday life for the local Balinese. People are often fond of saying that there are more temples than houses in Bali. A place steeped in thousands of years of history, the temples and palaces all over Bali are a legacy of the ancient kingdoms that once ruled this island paradise.
The average Balinese is fairly devout adherent of the distinct form of Hinduism practised on the island. A faith that that withstood countless attempts of subjugation over the centuries, Balinese Hinduism arose out of an amalgam of traditional Indian Hindu traditions, Balinese animist practises and pre-Islamic Javanese faiths.
The village temple is the focal point of spiritual life. Regarded as a meeting place between man and god, the temples in Bali burst into life with elaborate decorations during the many festivals and temple anniversaries. There are temples to celebrate nearly every aspect of Balinese life: family temples, village temples, house temples, banjar(neighbourhood) temples, subak(crop irrigation) temples, cave temples, temples honouring the ancestor, and even a temple honouring the monkeys on the island.
The main temple for the entire island is Besakih Temple, or Mother Temple. Located 1000 metres above sea level on the rising slopes of Mount Agung in Eastern Bali, the temple is named after an ancient Dragon God believed to inhabit the mountain. Other major temples that are accessible to tourists include Pura Luhur Batu Karu in central Bali, Pura Kehen near Bangli, Pura Taman Ayun in Mengwi and the always popular Sangeh Monkey Sanctuary, also in central Bali.
If life in a faraway tropical paradise steeped in Eastern culture and religion appeals to you, then why not consider buying or renting a vacation home at the 5-star Lovina Beach Resort in Bali’s serene, unspoiled north? It has never been easier or more affordable to invest in international beachfront property in Bali.
