Meet some of the happiest people on earth in Bali
We've always got some pretty irresistible package holidays to Bali, including flights and accommodations from around $1000. That leaves you with an extra grand to eat, drink, shop and spa until your heart’s content, which is made even easier since the Australian dollar goes a lot further in Bali.
If you’re in the mood for lazy days by the pool and pumped-up evenings at the clubs, Bali is calling. There’s also plenty of rest and relaxation on offer too – head to a yoga retreat or spend some time exploring temples and visiting the serene countryside in Ubud.
