Bali is a destination for every kind of traveler. The panoramas on the islands give you a sense of peace: the tropical palms dotting its pristine beaches, the idyllic villages with paddy fields, and the majestic temples are synonymous with a Balinese holiday. The island has always welcomed wayfarers, and now with lockdowns and restrictions in the rearview mirror, it’s back as one of the top getaways for international travelers.
If you’ve dreamt of a vacation to Bali, then we’ve got a great deal for you, courtesy of our friends at Travelzoo.

Its Rock Bar—perched atop rock formations and overlooking the Indian Ocean—is the place to go for dramatic sunset views. The Aquatonic Pool at the hotel’s 22,000-square-meter spa has the world’s largest Aquatonic Seawater Therapy Pool “thalassotherapy uses seawater for healing and wellness).
You can stay in a newly-renovated Resort View Room for seven nights for $1,599. Or you can stay in an Ocean View Suite, complete with a private balcony and a living area, for $2,199 for seven nights (it would normally cost $5,558).
