THE PUNCH LIST 2026
Elevate your Bali Experience
The Punch List celebrates Bali’s most inspiring sustainable destinations and brands, bringing together places that lead with intention, responsibility, and long-term vision. Guided by a growing commitment to measurable impact, it goes beyond visibility to recognise businesses that actively contribute to the island’s environmental, cultural, and social well-being.
More than a curated listing, The Punch List is a living ecosystem. We don’t simply highlight what looks good — we follow how each business operates and contributes over time.
At its heart, The Punch List is a guide to Bali as it should be experienced: places that honour the island’s traditions, protect its cultural heritage, and work in harmony with nature. It brings forward initiatives that empower local communities, preserve craft and knowledge, and show that progress and responsibility can grow together.
Explore, Better.
The Punch Publications:
Experience Bali Beyond
the Surface
Our publications explore Bali through storytelling and guidance, offering different ways to connect with the island beyond the surface. Each book is created with care, depth, and a respect for place — whether through long-form narratives or refined travel curation. From documenting the voices and visions shaping Bali today, to guiding travellers toward experiences rooted in authenticity, our publications invite readers to rediscover what makes the island meaningful, layered, and alive.
Designed as lasting objects in print and digital, these books exist to be read slowly, returned to often, and carried into the way Bali is experienced and understood.
A monochrome documentation of 40 businesses shaping Bali with purpose
Uncovered Bali is a carefully crafted hardcover publication documenting 40 of Bali’s most impactful and forward-thinking businesses. Presented entirely in monochrome, the book removes visual distraction to focus on intention, structure, and substance — allowing each story to speak with clarity.
Through long-form editorial storytelling and considered visual documentation, each story offers valuable insights from founders and leaders on how responsible businesses are built, led, and grown. The book explores decision-making, values, and long-term vision, revealing the realities of creating meaningful impact while navigating growth.
Created as a timeless object rather than a trend-driven release, Uncovered Bali stands as both a cultural record and a source of practical inspiration — celebrating leadership, resilience, and the pursuit of progress rooted in integrity.
Available in print and digital
A refined guide to experiencing Bali with depth and intention
The Curated Bali Guide was created for those who seek a deeper relationship with place. More than a travel guide, it is an invitation to experience Bali beyond the obvious — through the hotels, restaurants, artisans, and brands that continue to honour the island’s spirit as it evolves.
As Bali moves forward at unprecedented speed, the guide highlights those choosing a more considered path. Businesses rooted in culture, care, and long-term thinking come together in a single publication designed to protect what makes Bali truly special.
Through timeless design, thoughtful editorial context, and carefully selected offers, the Curated Bali Guide invites travellers from around the world to explore with awareness — transforming stays into connections, and journeys into meaningful exchange.Â
