Hip hip hooray for Bali! Its glistening beaches, luxury hotels and oh-so scrumptious restaurants have won the island the top spot on TripAdvisor's global Traveler's Choice Awards 2017
With it’s warm balmy climate, cool tropical vibes, picture-perfect landscapes and goosebump-inducing culture as vibrant as the azure water that surrounds it, it’s no wonder Bali steals the top spot on every traveller’s bucketlist. But now it’s official – TripAdvisor has named Bali as the best travel destination in the world as part of its 2017 Travelers’ Choice Awards, and we couldn’t be happier for our island home!
Though we could have picked 101 reasons why Bali gets our vote, the results were based on the number of rave reviews at each destination around the world. And so, with Bali’s outstanding collection of fabulous five-star resorts and villas, world-class dining scene and wild and wonderful attractions, naturally, the Island of the Gods took the crown.
As the winning destination, TripAdvisor described Bali as a favourite “for both adventurers and those in need of a little relaxation“. And to get your travelling juices flowing, the site also gives you a taste of a magical Bali getaway: “The waters off the coast of Bali’s white beaches are an ideal spot for diving, while the dense jungles, teeming with monkeys and hidden stone temples, call out for exploration. Hike the rugged path to the summit of Mount Batur, and your effort will be rewarded with a stunning view. Then coax your sore muscles back into action with a massage at one of Bali’s many luxury spas.” Yes please!
Impressively so, Bali beat some of the world’s biggest and most buzzing capital cities, including London – which came in at a close 2nd – followed by Paris, Rome, New York, Crete, Barcelona, Siem Reap, Prague and Phuket – all making the top 10. Go Bali!
So to celebrate, we’ll be at one of our fave beaches sipping on our fave cocktails, raising a glass to Bali’s big win…
Cheers!
