How about a trip to South Sulawesi / Bali, Indonesia

Everyone has heard of Bali, but far fewer people have heard of South Sulawesi. Bali is your stereotypical, south Asian resort island, but with a slightly more laidback “vibe” about it. Famed for its yoga retreats and easy-going way of life, this gem of an Indonesian Island will satisfy the needs of any holiday maker seeking a little time off from the world. There is however a growing party scene on the island and some increasingly famous bars and clubs emerging to satsify the needs of the younger travellers. A little off-the-beaten-track and probably a few more years until tourism takes off here in a similar way to Bali a few decades ago, the southern regions of Sulawesi in Indonesia are largely unexplored to most outside Indonesia. However, the beaches are stunning, with calm, tropical seas, glistening soft white-sand and a real feel of having escaped to somewhere very few have heard of, let alone visited. So if you can, head out to South Sulawesi in August and be a trend-setter for those to follow in years to come
