The Bali administration, authorities, and people have given assurance that the Island remains as safe and enjoyable as ever. Bali, also known as the island of the Gods, is a deeply spiritual island. The peace and harmony of the island remains a steadfast foundation of Balinese life. Travelers will not only experience the beauty of the Balinese nature and culture, but will also feel the warmth of Balinese people.
