Brody Jenner and Kaitlynn Carter
Bali attracts heaps of celebrity holidaymakers and some even choose the island as a wedding venue. Brody Jenner and Kaitlynn Carter are two such celebrities and tied the knot in Bali earlier this month.
The glamorous duo celebrated with friends in the scenic surroundings of Ubud before enjoying a traditional Kecak Dance performance during their stay.
Kaitlynn picked The Lawn in Canggu for pre-wedding drinks with her friends, where delicious cocktails and sumptuous food are served in fabulous surroundings. Here, guests can take in gorgeous panoramic ocean views at sunset as they enjoy their meal at this upmarket restaurant.
The best part is that you don’t need a celebrity budget to treat yourself to dinner at The Lawn. Although pricey compared to traditional Balinese restaurants, The Lawn is still totally affordable for most Western visitors to the island.
The lovers then headed to the world’s number one resort on the Indonesian island of Nihi Sumba for a little alone time – the perfect way to kick off their marriage!
Sara Escudero (Collage Vintage)
As one of Bali’s key social media influencers, Sara Escudero has helped put Bali on the map with her enviable holiday shots. This fashion and travel enthusiast is a big fan of everything the island has to offer, from its jungles to its beaches. Fans love her cute outfits and fantastic adventures and her Instagram page, Collage Vintage, has over a million followers.
Sara takes full advantage of Bali’s luxury accommodation during her trips to the island and especially loves the jungle infinity pool at the Shambhala Estate near Ubud. This high-end resort offers unlimited luxury, but at a premium price tag that few vacationers can afford.
When it comes to food, however, Sara’s not afraid to keep things simple with a Nasi Goreng and Bintang.
No trip to the island is complete without a visit to Ubud’s rice fields and Sara does it all in style.
The famous jungle swing near Ubud is one of Bali’s most Instagrammed spots. Here, brave visitors can soar over the lush green canopy far below, for glorious views of the surrounding scenery.
Sara is one of the many influencers who helped to make this spot as well-known as it is. Instagram is full of photos of people enjoying the jungle scenery from on high and this activity tops the bucket list of many travellers to Bali.
Paris Hilton

She was also snapped frolicking with the monkeys in Ubud’s Monkey Forest, which is a must-do for any visitor to Bali.
Paris also managed to soak up some culture during her trip with a visit to one of the island’s thousands of temples.
Although the heiresses budget will be out of reach for most visitors to Bali, you don’t need to be a millionaire to enjoy the beautiful scenery and rich culture of the island.
