Bali, as a global brand

We turn Bali into a brand, and you into a part of it.

When you join, you’re not just a user.
You’re someone who helps Bali shine.

Our dream? A social space where the whole world
talks about holidays in Bali - a “LinkedIn for Bali explorers”
where your profile gets real traffic and attention.

BALI, ONE COMMUNITY

Bali may be small,
but its contrasts feel infinite
peaks and waves, rituals and trends,
quiet corners and busy icons.

Yet when everyone rushes to the same places,
the magic slowly fades.

Our dream is a community that protects Bali,
spreads exploration fairly, and grows personal brands through meaningful sharing.

That dream is Smart Bali Guide,
a home where travelers and locals
become Bali’s guides, together.

✨ Keeping Bali special, together. ✨

"JUST SHOW UP" REVIEWS

Dear Ilona, I want to extend my deepest gratitude for your incredible patience and professionalism throughout the past year of wedding preparations for my precious daughter.

Your guidance and advice of preparing a destination wedding in Bali have been invaluable and your support has made the journey so much smoother and more enjoyable. 

Your dedication and expertise truly remarkable and we could not have done it without you. Thank you for everything you have done to make this special occasion perfect. 

ANITA, MOTHER OF THE BRIDE (SYDNEY)

I had to plan my wedding on an extemely tight time frame, with no experience and no knowledge of what goes into a wedding and very little time.I needed someone to help me liaise with vendors (venue, make up, flower decorations and cake, entertainment). The checklist was so long. Fortunately with years of experience and of course passion for all things wedding, Ilona knew very well the running and planning of wedding day.

So whether you need a consultant to make your planned wedding even more beautiful, Ilona definitely has that passion and knowledge to make it happen

KEVIN & ALICE (SYDNEY)

They really understood what we needed, especially since we were traveling with kids and elderly parents. We loved our time at Sanur Beach, a peaceful spot with a family-friendly atmosphere. Our stay at a hotel in Ubud was incredibly peaceful and relaxing. Ilona curated the itinerary for us, which was a relief as planning through Google can be overwhelming. 

Exploring Kintamani and visiting the Bali Zoo were highlights. 

Uncover Bali's deep understanding of Bali’s hidden gems as well as their recommendation of local eateries , made our family vacation enjoyable

Highly recommend!

DANIEL & SYENNY (HOUSTON)

We are @UncoverBali

We’re an Indonesian family who lived in Sydney and Jakarta for years,
so we understand busy city life and how time-consuming planning a holiday can be.

That’s why we built this platform:
to make researching Bali easier and more transparent in one place.

 

We’re also retired international wedding photographers who spent 16 years traveling the world, meeting people, and finding the best spots everywhere we went.
 

And our mom, Ilona?
She’s the ultimate Bali friend,
someone who can make life easy without breaking the bank.
Just ask her, or simply just show up in Bali.

The rest of us support her,
so the world can see just how awesome she is.
