So, you’ve booked your flights to Bali and your bags are already packed through sheer excitement alone. Firstly – congratulations! You’ve taken the first step toward the most stunning and culturally enlightening trip of your life. Why not further immerse yourself into your Indonesian getaway by ‘glamping’ during your life-changing stay? A portmanteau of ‘glamorous’ and ‘camping’, experience Bali in style through combining resort stay luxuries with the adventure of roughing it outdoors amongst some of the finest wildlife this side of the equator. Sound good? We know it does.
