The phrase "small but powerful" aptly describes Bali, an island in Indonesia that every year figures among the favorite island destinations for tourists worldwide. With its tropical climate, lush plant life, volcanoes, and temples, Bali continues to be sought out by beach lovers and spiritual tourists alike. While Bali offers a wealth of options in accommodations, rooms at hotels on the coast with ocean views are especially prized.
