As Indonesian tourism is all set to resume, you must be already dreaming about the white beaches, swaying palm trees and quirky beach shacks of Bali. Then what’s holding you back? Get ready to spoil yourself with a lavish holiday at an unconventional Balinese resort. (Don’t forget the post-lockdown safety measures though.)
Here’s a list of the top six off-beat resorts in Bali filled with luxury and panache:
