We try to stay away from mass tourism experiences. So, you won’t find yourself on the same tours as everyone else unless that’s what you really want.
With A Bali Point of View, your imagination is your only limit when it comes to your holiday.
If you want an expensive, luxurious stay one night and a more affordable the next to make up for it, we can organize both.
We can find you an Instagram spot in the morning and a hidden gem in the afternoon.
This is how we create my exclusive but affordable trips, by using local knowledge, guides and contacts to find and book experiences that suit your budget and your Bali dreams.
THE VISION OF
A BALI POINT OF VIEW
At A Bali Point of View, we specialize in designing dream Bali holidays and itineraries for couples, honeymooners, families and large groups. Our travel plans are similar to what you’d get from a regular travel agency, except for three main differences.
The first difference is our focus on you. We want you to have a dream holiday in Bali. That’s why we work hard to plan everything based on your personality and what you want to do and see.
We can organize everything from:
-
The perfect luxurious accommodation to comfortable and affordable.
-
A Spiritual Balinese blessing to buggy rides through the jungle.
-
The latest 5-star restaurant to a meal and sleepover with a local family.
-
A visit to the latest Instagram spot to a waterfall visit that isn’t on any map.
-
Wellness retreats to glamping on a mountain.
-
Air-conditioned transport around the island to motorbike hire!
The other difference is the price. As an independent Bali travel agency, we book everything directly with locals. Basically, this means we can offer you much better prices than you’ll get at any other travel agency.
And the third difference is our flexibility. Unlike other agencies, we work with every accommodation rather than a selected few.

HOW IT STARTED
‘Planning has been always been a passion for me ever since I was little. I used to dive into the travel agency books, comparing the best camp sites and prices for holidays with my parents.
When I was older, my friends always trusted me with booking our trips because they were guaranteed of a great holiday. I helped friends with their holiday to Spain, colleagues of friends with their Berlin trip and the family of a friend with their trip to New York, when I never visited New York myself!
I was always busy planning the next trip for myself and others and it became a sport to find hidden gems. In 2019 I stopped pretending it was a hobby and founded A Bali Point of View. These days I live in Canggu with my family.
I put my heart, effort and all my Bali knowledge in the travel planning and it's my goal to make sure you will have the best experience you’ve always dreamed of.’
MY STORY
I'm half Indonesian. My mother was born in Jakarta, grew up in Sumatra, and moved to the Netherlands when she was nine. She never felt the need to go back. I did as I wanted to see where I came from.
11 years ago my boyfriend and I travelled to Indonesia for the first time: two weeks on Java, 10 days on Bali. It was a strange trip in the best way. I'd expected culture shock and instead felt completely at home.
When we arrived in Bali, we looked at each other and said: wow, I want to live here one day.
The year after that we went to Thailand, and the year after to Australia. But we kept coming back to Bali, and every time it felt like arriving somewhere we already belonged. At some point my boyfriend said: let's just do it. Let's move. The idea turned into a plan, and in 2019 we went.
We left the Netherlands behind and I wanted to organise trips full-time. The first clients found me through word of mouth. And because I was living here, I quickly got to know the guides, drivers and accommodations we still work with today, that's how it grew into a real business.
In 2021 our first Bali baby was born, and in 2024 the second followed.
Since then I've come to know the island through a parent's eyes as well: which places actually work with kids, which restaurants have somewhere for them to play, and how many hours in the car is still just about doable.
That knowledge is why family holidays have become our specialty.
We're still here, still enjoying every bit of this life, and still feeling at home. We're not planning on going anywhere.
