Magazine B – Issue No. 82: Bali — Island Identity, Ritual Culture & Global Lifestyles

This issue of Magazine B explores the multifaceted identity of Bali — a unique island where ritual, spirituality, and design intersect with global alternative lifestyles. As the only Hindu-majority province in Indonesia, Bali presents a rich cultural fabric shaped by ancient traditions, daily offerings, and architectural symbolism.

Since the 1970s, when international surfers first arrived via the newly expanded Ngurah Rai Airport, Bali has evolved into a magnet for creatives, wellness seekers, and remote workers drawn to its rhythm of life. The magazine traces the island’s transformation from spiritual enclave to a global beacon of conscious living — touching on its tourism economy, artisan culture, and eco-conscious movements. Through immersive visuals and layered storytelling, Bali invites readers to reflect on how place, belief, and lifestyle coalesce in one of the world’s most storied destinations.
