Dubai, Bali Top Picks for Indians as Visa-Easy Travel Surges

Why Are Dubai And Bali Recently On Everyone’s Wishlist? 

Simply put, they aren’t just destinations, they are experiences, and now they’re accessible to more Indians than it has ever been.

Here is what is influencing this trend:

• Easiest visa processes: no need to worry about so much paperwork. The visas on arrival or e-visas make these trips as easy as you wish.
• Short, sweet flights: fast connections from major Indian cities make them ideal holidays for 5–7 days.
• Affordable luxury: fantastic prices without skimping on the experience.
• There is something for everyone:
  • Dubai – families love it (with kids): theme parks, safaris in the desert, or dinner in the sky.
  • Bali – a favourite for couples looking for romance and pampering; its peacefulness, its warm waters, its sunsets, it’s where honeymooners flock.

It’s like flying first-class on a budget—you land in paradise, but your wallet stays happy.

A Real Travel Boom – And the Numbers Show It

The shift is more than just a trend—it’s a full-blown movement.

• According to OYO’s 2025 report, visa-easy destination bookings grew by 65% in India.
• Dubai saw a 3X rise in families. Families are trading hill stations for luxury malls and the desert.
• Bali has become the resort darling of romantic getaways, with couples trading crowded beaches for lush jungle resorts.
• The typical Indian traveller is spending longer on each trip- 7 days to Southeast Asia, 3-5 days to the Middle East.

Apparently, if visas become easier, vacations become longer. Who knew that paperwork was a barrier to paradise?

What Makes These Places Unique?

Let’s get right into it:

Dubai:

• Skydiving, desert safaris, indoor skiing, and Michelin Star food.
• Nope, it’s not a movie night, that’s just your weekend.

Bali:

• Rice terraces, waterfalls, infinity pools, wellness retreats.
• Yoga in the AM, beach bars by night. Balance, right?
