Bali’s Best High Teas

Fancy a spot of tea and some nosh after a busy day hitting the beaches, shops and spas? Or maybe a glass of champers and some sweet treats for a mid-afternoon treat? High tea is alive and well in Bali in all sorts of forms, from the cozy and quaint to the elegantly sophisticated. Here are a few of Bali’s best high teas that we return to time after time.
