Surf and shade

Sheltered from the searing sun and set back from the thunderous waves, a row of vacationers hunkered under their parasols have it made in the shade. It's easy to imagine spending a whole week right here in this soothing setting, but if you make the journey to this famous Indonesian island, don't forget to get up and explore a bit too. Beyond the beautiful beaches, you'll find waterfalls that plunge into swimming holes, mountain-slope hikes leading to volcanic craters, and human-made wonders from rice terraces to resplendent Hindu temples. But for now—just relax.
