Seminyak & Ubud, Bali twin centre

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 Nusa Dua or Sanur on Bali's south-eastern shores where you'll find plenty of elegant beachside retreats.

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.

SeaTrek with Whale Sharks, Corals & Dragons

This cruise is packed with wildlife encounters, cultural interactions, Ring of Fire-carved landscapes and plenty of me time on and under the ocean waves. This roundtrip onboard a handcrafted pinisi ship begins and ends in Komodo National Park, the UNESCO-listed refuge of the Komodo Dragon, and skirts the Nusa Tenggara Islands in search of whale sharks, manta rays and deserted beaches.
