In 2026, here at The Bali Sun, we think we’re gonna see a rising trend for the classic coastal vacation. We have identified several key trends in fact, two of which are low-key opposed to one another, but as travellers both become more adventurous and seek more comfort we can see there will be a definite split in travel styles across Bali’s top demographics.
We’ll focus on our first top travel trend prediction for 2026, and that is the return of the joyful East Beach getaway. Some would call it a ‘fly and flop’ vacation…you fly in, flop on a sunlounger, and that’s you sorted for the next two weeks. The appeal of this style of vacation is clear to see…rest, relaxation, sun, slowness and indulgence.
