Bali

Bali is the world's most visited tropical island, drawing 6.3 million annual arrivals. Spanning 5,780 sq km, it is anchored by the sacred Gunung Agung volcano rising 3,142m, which last erupted from 2017–2019. The island’s 20,000 temples, UNESCO-listed subak rice terrace irrigation system dating to the 9th century, and world-class surf breaks at Uluwatu create an unmatched cultural and natural density. Its annual visitor count outpaces #6 Fiji’s by over 4 million, and its 5,780 sq km makes it more than three times the size of #7 Maui.
