LET'S UNCOVER BALI

Bali may be small, but it holds endless contrasts
mountains and beaches,
traditions and trends,
hidden corners and world-famous spots.
Truly, there’s something for everyone in Bali.

The problem? Stories are often repeated.
Locals wait for outsiders to tell them, and travellers rely only on what’s already viral,
making Bali feel the same for everyone.

 

This platform is built for the community,
a place where locals and travellers share their own stories and fresh discoveries.

Let’s uncover Bali together

THE LATEST STORIES IN BALI IN OUR PLATFORM

We are @UncoverBali

If our smart guide isn’t enough, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered.
Our mom, Ilona is basically the ultimate Bali friend. She knows where to go, what to book, and how to make life easy. You just need to show up.

The rest of us? We’re her sidekicks. We roam around, try things out, meet Bali vendors, and share the fun - so together, everyone gets to uncover Bali.

YOUR UNCOVER BALI EXPERIENCE

The life before this, we were international destination wedding photographers, traveling the world for a living, meeting people from every culture, and always finding the best spots to document memorable moments.


But the best part? We’re a real family. Our life adventures are everywhere on social media, so you can see the fun (and the chaos) is 100% real.

CHAT ILONA

Think ChatGPT—but only for Bali.
Ask anything, and Ilona + the fam will dig up the answers.
A monthly subscription for those already familiar with Bali but want to save time.
Skip the guesswork - hear straight from the locals who’ve explored it all.

And if we don’t know? We’ll dig deep until we find the answer.

JUST SHOW UP

Like Nike’s “Just Do It”… but in Bali, you just show up!
Ilona handles bookings, payments, and vendor talks so your event stays personal—without the stress. Perfect for weddings, reunions, or shoots. Monthly subscription, no long commitments—use it only when you need.

ADS-FREE SMART GUIDE

Every vendor, big or small, gets an equal voice.
We run it with love, not algorithms
because Bali deserves better than what big companies can offer.
By supporting us, we can keep the info fresh and always up to date

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT ILONA

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!
