Bali Crowned World’s Best Destination by TripAdvisor
Bali Crowned World’s Best Destination by TripAdvisor
Bali has once again captured the world’s attention. In the TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards: Best of the Best Destinations 2026, Bali was officially named the No.1 travel destination in the world, rising above iconic global cities and holiday hotspots. This recognition, based on millions of genuine traveler reviews, confirms what travelers and industry experts have long believed, Bali is truly one of a kind.
For us at Smailing Tour DMC, proudly based in Bali, this award is more than just exciting news. It is a reflection of the destination we know intimately and the experiences we curate every day for our partners and clients from around the world.
Why Bali Continues to Win the World’s Heart?
Bali’s appeal goes far beyond its stunning beaches. Travelers consistently praise the island for its unique combination of:
- Rich and living culture, deeply rooted in daily life
- Breathtaking natural landscapes, from volcanoes to rice terraces
- Warm hospitality and genuine smiles
- World-class resorts, boutique hotels, and wellness retreats
- Diverse experiences, from adventure and nature to spirituality and luxury
This balance of culture, nature, and comfort is what keeps travelers returning — and what places Bali at the top of TripAdvisor’s global rankings.
Experiencing Bali Beyond the Highlights
While iconic spots like Ubud, Uluwatu, and Nusa Penida are must-visits, Bali’s true magic often lies beyond the usual. Villages with centuries old traditions, hidden temples, quiet countryside roads, and meaningful interactions with local communities are what transform a holiday into an unforgettable journey.
