BEST PLACE FOR HEALTH & NATURE
Bali
Population: 4.2 million
Whether you’re raising budding botanists or
marine biologists — or if you just want your
family to breathe in plenty of fresh air — Bali
is a fantastic place for sidling up next to nature
and adopting a healthy lifestyle.
Rich with biodiversity, Indonesia’s Island of
the Gods attracts those who value the great
outdoors, and for good reason: The tropical is-
land is home to almost 300 different species of
birds, and marine life abounds, too. Graceful
dolphins and manta rays, giant turtles, and
500 types of coral coexist in Bali’s teal-green
waters. Live in Bali, and take your family on div-
ing, scuba or snorkeling trips to see these beau-
tiful creatures as often as you like.
For health-conscious families, there are plen-
ty of choices in natural and organic meals —
not to mention an abundance of yoga classes
and retreats — due to the island’s big push to-
ward health and wellness in recent years.
