Sideman Holidays
With its rolling hills and endless rice fields stretching right across the region, Sidemen holidays offer a chance to experience one of Bali’s most picturesque destinations. Though it isn’t as well known as resorts such as Ubud or Tegallalang, the Sideman valley is incredibly peaceful and offers a window into authentic rural life in this beautiful corner of Indonesia.
The nearby Mount Agung is the highest mountain in Bali. It’s a perfect place to enjoy a few days of hiking or exploring the surrounding rice fields. There’s also the option to go water rafting along the Telaga Waja River, stopping at the many charming villages and small settlements dotted along the way.

“Despite the fact that there are ATMs and cash machines available for tourist use all over the island, bear in mind that these machines are often out of order. It’s certainly wise to make sure you have enough cash on you when visiting local shops, bars or markets.”
