Highlights include
Itinerary
Day 1: Hello Bali
Fly into Denpasar Airport where you'll be met and transferred to our stylish hotel in Seminyak. Spend the rest of the day relaxing by the rooftop pool or hit the sugar-white beach. Tonight, the town's upscale bars and restaurants beckon.
Day 2: Culture & Beach Clubs
Find your spiritual side in Uluwatu's iconic temples, before learning the basics of Bahasa, and making your own Canang Sari (a Hindu offering). Round off your day of cultural immersion with drinks and dinner at an exclusive beach club.
Day 3: Surf Lesson in Canggu
Learn to ride the waves with a surf lesson with a local Balinese instructor before journeying to one of Bali's most famous surf destinations - bohemian Canggu, where your boutique hotel awaits.
Day 4: Waterfalls & Temples
Head to sleepy Lovina today. Pay a visit en route to another atmospheric temple and stop at a sparkling waterfall for a swim, before arriving at our luxe, villa-style accommodation. Cool off in the pool and take in tropical views as the sun sets.
Day 5: Dolphin Cruise & Local Life
Board our traditional outrigger boat this morning and cruise along the coast, looking for Lovina's wild dolphins. Back on dry land, learn the traditional Balinese art of basket weaving from a local family before heading back for another dip in THAT infinity pool.
Day 6: Gili Island Paradise
Today's destination is as gorgeous as they come - think gently swaying palms, turquoise water, and powder soft sand. Spend the afternoon snoozing in a hammock, before settling back with an ice-cold cocktail in one of the beachside reggae bars.
Day 7: Bike Tour & Sunset Swings
Explore Gili Trawangan on two wheels today with a beach-hopping bike tour - with no motorised vehicles on the island it's the best way to get around. Round the tour off with sundown selfies on the island's famous swing.
Day 8: Gilis Snorkel Cruise
Discover the jaw-dropping beauty of all three Gili Islands on a full day boat trip. Dive into the sapphire-coloured water and snorkel with turtles and thousands of colourful tropical fish. Sail back with the salt in your hair, ready for another night in paradise.
Day 9: Gorgeous Ubud
Board the ferry back to Bali before travelling by road to the green hillsides, temples, and rice terraces of Ubud. Pick up some artisan souvenirs, visit an art gallery, or just kick back by the pool in our hotel's lush gardens - you're on Ubud time now.
Day 10: Monkey Forest & Cooking
Meet Ubud's wild monkeys today as we head to a centuries old temple populated by macaques. Get up close to these characterful primates before heading back to Ubud for a traditional Balinese cooking lesson.
Day 11: Volcano Trek & Massage
We're up before dawn today, for an unforgettable volcano trek. A local guide will lead us to the summit just as the sun comes up over the horizon. Back at the hotel, freshen up with a swim in the pool before a relaxing Balinese massage.
Day 12: Nusa Lembongan Beach Bliss
We're taking the fast ferry to the ravishing island of Nusa Lembongan today. With idyllic beaches, neon coral reefs, and a laid-back vibe, it's as heavenly as they come.
Day 13: Nusa Lembongan Snorkel Trip
Explore the island's secluded bays and secret coves by boat today, snorkelling with graceful manta rays and rainbow-hued tropical fish. Then strap on your walking sandals and get ready to see some of the island's most breathtaking viewpoints.
Day 14: Back to Seminyak
Sail back to Bali, where our destination for the last night is Seminyak, where our trip began. After freshening up back in our beachside hotel, enjoy one last night in Seminyak's chic beach clubs and bars.
