Bali is one of those magical places where there is something for every kind of traveller.
This year, the Indonesian country has seen travellers flock there in their droves making it a must-visit destination for 2018 - and, most recently, the Beckhams have been living it up on a private island off the coast and sharing their antics on Instagram.
Bali is a mix of old and new; ancient traditions and cultures mixed with modern buildings, beautiful landscapes and luxury accommodation that's easy on the wallet.
