The Flux Travel Experience • Published By: Jay Flynn • Friday, September 4, 2020
After quitting my job at New York City’s #1 hospital, selling half my stocks and moving to Bali, I realized it was the riskiest and best decision I’ve made in my life. Bali is the epitome of A VIBE and its hard not to fall in love. With (44) beaches to choose from, countless beach clubs, restaurants, and an enrapturing night life, everyday is like a vacation living here.
Flux Travel has (4) keys elements Adventure, Extreme, Unwind, and Luxury and this small island encompasses it all. There’s glamping in the North, cliff jumping in the South, lazing around at chic beach clubs, even wowing Instagram followers when you stay at one of Bali’s swanky hotels. Looking for a night out? Everyday is HipHop/R&B night at La Favala with many other clubs and bars to choose from. You’d think a Tuesday night would be dry but in Bali, it might as well be Saturday.
I’m so ecstatic to host trips in Bali. It’s the surprise factor! I love to witness When people see Bali lives up to all the social media hype. Especially, when I hit them with the hidden gems and off the beaten path spots :-). My #1 reason though, is that special Bali vibe that takes over each and every person that visits. It’s a vibe everyone should experience. It may even change you…and it will be for the better.
Situated in the middle of the world’s largest archipelago, Bali is Indonesia’s most well-known island. Its rich traditions, colorful ceremonies, and unique culture make it stand out from its neighbors, but the Island of the Gods also offers a wide range of accommodation and activities, all within an easy distance.
Here, you can find everything from basic home-stays run by friendly Balinese families to luxurious, privately-serviced beachfront villas. World-class snorkeling and diving is available in a number of locations around the island, from the protected natural reserves of Menjangan, to the shipwreck of the USS Liberty at Tulamben, to the more challenging waters of Nusa Penida, where manta rays and the rare mola mola are sighted regularly. Bali is also known as a mecca for surfers, with a wide range of waves on offer. Beginners can give the sport a try at the forgiving sandy beach breaks of Kuta, while the size and power of waves like Uluwatu, in the Bukit region, provide a challenge for even the most experienced wave riders.
Fans of trekking and mountain biking can take a trip up to the mountains around Kintamani or Munduk, exploring trails, waterfalls, and rice fields in cool comfort, or perhaps enjoying whitewater rafting on a range of rivers in the area. Bali’s Hindu culture is unique to the island, and permeates all aspects of everyday life. Ceremonies are held, celebrating the cycles of the moon, holidays, birth, marriage, coming of age, and passing away. Traditional clothing is still commonly worn, and visitors are often surprised by the canang sari offerings to Gods and demons that are found everywhere on sidewalks, shrines, stores, and homes.
Traditional dances and plays are regularly performed for locals and visitors alike, to the accompanying sound of the gamelan orchestra. Balinese culture is part of life everywhere on the island, but has found a center in Ubud, which, despite being one of the world’s most liveable places, is still run according to traditional village principles. Here, rituals, traditional medicine, and magic are still a part of everyday life, and those wishing to explore their spiritual side can find meditation programs and yoga classes that will help them achieve inner peace.
In contrast, the Southern region of Bali is a perfect home for hedonistic fun, with Kuta a center for visiting party animals drawn by the hundreds of bars and nightclubs on offer. A stone’s throw north, the Seminyak area offers more refined nightlife options, with popular bands and DJs performing regularly, as well as a host of dining choices run by the renowned international chefs who have made Bali their home. During the day, a range of boutiques sell designs by local and global designers, whose cutting edge fashions at reasonable prices attract travelers from all over the world. Tired travelers can pamper themselves with highly affordable massages and spa treatments, or simply relax on a white-sand beach with a cocktail and watch the waves come in. Whatever your interest, Bali has something for you. With so many choices on offer, travelers’ only problem is figuring out what to do and how to do it. Let us do the worrying for you. As your one-stop travel experts, we know how to guide you through the perfect vacation!
