They say anything worth having is worth fighting for, or in the case of travelers — flying for. That’s why year after year globetrotters embark across the world for the chance to experience the wonders of Bali, Indonesia.

The island is the embodiment of love with its lush green rice paddies, ornate temples, decorative art, fresh seafood, and stunning beaches, making it the perfect baecation escape. Miami native Sadé Marie Díaz (@illustratedbysade) and her bae turned Bali into their personal playground eating, praying and loving their way through the country. Their photos capture not only their journey but the true essence of Bali.

If Bali has always been on your travel wish list, our exclusive guide will inspire you to create a romantic adventure of your own.

01
Welcome to Bali
Known as the “Island of the Gods,” Bali is an Indonesian island known for its temples, rice fields, beaches, and luxurious resorts. The island is a favorite among lovers for its picturesque views and romantic vibes. The best time to come to Bali is April, May, June, and September, just before and just after high season. Bali is also extremely budget-friendly with 1 Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) equaling less than a penny.

Beachside Escape
Anyone who has visited Bali can tell you one thing — it’s crowded. The busting island is full of visitors year-round, but fortunately, it is full of accommodations that help you feel hidden from the urban chaos. From luxurious Airbnb rentals hidden among the rice fields to chic resorts steps away from the beach like the Alila Seminyak, you’re sure to find an oasis to call your own.

Float On
One reason foodies flock to Bali is to indulge in an Insta-worthy floating breakfast. Most villa rentals will include this in the stay, but if you want to venture away from your room head to Cabina Bali and have the experience for as little as $14 USD.

Lover’s Playground
You’ve seen those photos of beautiful women on the popular Bali Swing, but it’s not just a photo opp for singles. Couples can get in on the fun too and turn the iconic Tegalalang Rice Terrace into a playground built for two.
