Review
“Anna’s book is a brilliant compendium of everything you go to Bali hoping to find: the lo-fi beach shacks, the smart little restaurants, the shops and the most deserted stretches of sand.” Condé Nast Traveller
“This guide is a slender, eminently packable counterpart to the glut of weighty tourism tomes and is carefully curated so it only shows you the best bits.” —Travel & Leisure
