Best of Bali

Start your holiday in style with included airport lounge access before your overnight flight to Denpasar, Bali.

Arriving into the Bali, you’ll be met for a private transfer to your beachside hotel in beautiful Sanur. Checking into your butler-served Garden Villa, you’ll look forward to three days of pampered relaxation, perhaps making the most of the on-site spa, indulging in the dining scene – showcased in a vibrant collection of local restaurants and markets – and soaking up the sun on the nearby beach, just a short walk away.

Having taken things easy for your first few days on the island, it’s time to take your first dip into Balinese culture with a visit to a traditional village. Your experience begins as help prepare breakfast in the village compound, before tucking into seasonal fruits, fresh coffee and Balinese cookies. You’ll then have the chance to explore the wider area, strolling through bucolic farmlands and visiting the village school before enjoying lunch served in a paddy field as you’re treated to a performance of traditional Rindik music played on bamboo instruments. You’ll then head to Tembok, stopping en route at the 11th-century Pura Kehan temple complex and the village of Penglipuran, where the ancient traditions of Adat are still observed.

Stay: Spa Village Resort, Tembok (Superior)

Enjoy a full day at leisure in beautiful Tembok, making the most of your spa hotel – a holistic hideaway on the ocean’s edge, where you’ll enjoy a complementary daily treatment, all meals and in-house activities as standard. It’s a truly delightful setting, with the hotel itself living up to its ‘village’ moniker with authentic architecture and wonderfully welcoming staff.

Batur volcano, follwed by stops at the temple complexes of Tirta Empul and Gunung Kawi, the latter of which features 10 rock-hewn shrines carved into a cliff face. Then, on arrival in Ubud, you’ll check into your boutique accommodation, surrounded by lush tropical gardens but just a ten-minute stroll from Ubud’s town-centre bustle. Expect a superb mix of Italian- and Indonesian-inspired dining, rejuvenating spa treatments and plenty of poolside relaxation.

Leaving the island’s verdant centre behind, your private transfer, which includes stops at the temples of Mengwi and iconic Tanah Lot, will see you back to the coast and the idyllic beach resort of Jimbaran, where you’ll check into a private-pool villa at your spa hotel. It's an indulgent delight, where you'll be treated to the likes of complimentary afternoon tea, a daily-stocked mini bar, a complimentary back and shoulder massage and 24-hour butler service.
