Bali has always been a place for renewal, far before the likes of 'Eat, Pray Love' and 'healing' tourism. Belief in reincarnation, in cleansing and purification, in abrupt changes in life paths, these have created fertile grounds for the island to become a wellness haven. In this edition of NOW! Bali, we explore the philosophical, cultural and experiential aspects of new beginnings in Bali.

Also in this edition, the final part of Bruce Carpenter's four-part series 'Is Bali Hindu?', we discover the history and sights of interest in Taro village, share a curated list of great indoor activities for rainy days in Bali and highlight the restaurants that opened at the end of 2025.
