Essential Bali Issue 4 Mar/Apr 2015 | Page 5

welcome Who: PUBLISHER Ned Dean WELCOME TO ISSUE 4 W elcome to issue four of Essential Bali. It’s now over six months since we launched and time has flown by as we continue to explore the best of Bali in order to bring you the finest magazine on the island. As always you can be sure that if you read it in this magazine we have been there and done it – we will never fob you off with second-hand information. We live up to our motto of ‘informing. inspiring.’ by thorough research, so you know exactly what to expect when you take a trip, book a table, reserve a room or plan some relaxation. This time around that dedication has seen us abseiling down waterfalls, making model houses out of bamboo, waking up to watch rhinos walk past our window and getting under the skin of rural Bali. It sums up the diversity of activities on offer that one day you can be secured to a rope with gallons of water cascading onto you and the next strolling through a peaceful, idyllic rice field. Indeed, there’s so much to do here that you’ll be keen to come back and we’ve teamed up with some of the best hotels in Bali to offer unbeatable hotel rates exclusive to Essential Bali readers.
