Singapore & Bali

This trip is one of our favourite two-stop holidays. You’ll begin in glittering Singapore, shopping on Orchard Road, taking in the views and post-sundown light show at Gardens by the Bay and sampling some of the best food in the Far East before heading for beautiful Bali for a wellbeing retreat at the all-pool villa The Elysian.

Bali

Indonesia Multi-Centre

Indonesia is a place where mystical temples meet beach-blessed coastlines, where jungles buzz with life and islands hum with energy. By hopping between destinations, you’ll uncover rice terraces one day, coral reefs the next, and sleepy villages soon after. Best of all, we make it effortless to move from place to place, so every seamless transfer feels like part of the adventure.

Bali

Tanjung Benoa & Ubud, Bali twin centre

We always recommend a twin centre holiday in Bali so that you really get to experience the very best of the island. The beautiful interior is not to be missed and a few days here amongst the rural landscapes, paddy fields and the cultural hotstpot that is Ubud is definitely a highlight. There are a few beach destinations to combine with Ubud, but here we've opted to twin with a southeast coast resort, making this a great combination for a restorative holiday chilling on the beach or a bit of an adrenaline rush with some watersports.

Bali

Lovina & Seminyak, Bali twin centre

Bali is Indonesia's 'Island of the Gods' and it's aptly named - this is a land of stunning natural beauty and friendly people who are proud of their ancient traditions and spirituality. You'll find the beach resorts that Bali is best known for on its southern shores, but there's so much more to Bali than its coastline. Venture inland, amid the lush rice terraces and dramatic valleys and you can cycle through rice terraces, go temple-hopping and take time out at wellbeing retreats. To really make the most of your stay on the island, we recommend at least 10 days and combining two or three places to stay as you travel around the island. During that time relax on the beach in the south or in the north (the north tends slightly wilder in feel and a bit more off the beaten track). For the more active, an early morning trek to see the sunrise from the top of Mount Batur is not to be missed, but other things to do to give you a sense of the culture of Bali include cooking classes, exploring local temples, shopping for local crafts and sampling local spa treatments that feature at most hotels.

Bali Ubud & Beach

Ubud puts you right at the heart of the cultural heart of this beautiful island. Ubud is famed for its arty vibe with a host of coffee shops and galleries showcasing the talents of local artists and craftspeople. Then onto the resorts of Seminyak on the southwest coast or Nusa Dua or Sanur on the south-east coast. Wherever you choose you'll find plenty of elegant beachside retreats.
