DELUXE | PRIVATE-GUIDED: Escape to the island paradise of Bali to relax at the beach and explore the rice paddies and jungles of the interior. Split your time between the southern peninsula and Ubud, staying in deluxe resorts, swimming off pristine beaches, and visiting breathtaking temples on private tours.
This 11-day Bali vacation takes you to the beaches of Nusa Dua and the rice paddies of Ubud for a leisurely escape. It features first-class accommodations and private tours.
Your journey to Bali connects you to Nusa Dua and Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa, a 5-star property located a few minutes from the airport. You’ll spend five nights based at this property that resembles a Balinese palace. Enjoy several days at leisure on this southern peninsula that is famous for its pristine beaches, great food, and lively nightlife. Try your hand at surfing off the beaches, hit up the local clubs, and enjoy the amenities of your beachside hotel. One day, you’ll head on a tour across the peninsula to visit the landscape of lush volcanoes, highlands, and beaches known as Bukit. Stop by Uluwatu Temple, which is perched on the edge of the ocean, and enjoy a performance of the Kecak Dance with the temple and the sunset as your backdrop. End your tour on Jimbaran Beach, where you’ll feast on fresh seafood while enjoying the warmth of the evening.
After another day at leisure in Nusa Dua, you’ll connect from the beach to Ubud in the inland of the island. Based at the 4-star hillside retreat of Alia Ubud, which lies along the edge of the Ayung River Valley, you’ll have 5-nights among the rice paddies, jungles, and cultural villages. Spend one full day on an adventure tour through the inland landscape, passing across rice terraces and through small villages to get a greater appreciation of the natural beauty of the island. You’ll visit villages like Tegal Linggah, stop off at the famous Temple of Batukaru, perched along the slopes of Mount Batukaru, and swing by the market of Candi Kuning before reaching the water temple of Ulun Danu, one of Bali’s defining images with its cascading pagoda and peaceful waterside location.
Another day, head into the forest to explore temples and spot monkeys. Visit the village of Mengwi, home to Taman Ayun Temple, with its stark 17th-century towers, before heading into the sacred monkey forest of Alas Kedaton to be surrounded by the sights and sounds of monkeys roaming across the temple and forest. Final stop is Tanah Lot Temple, located on a rock formation along the coast and home to one of the most stunning sunsets in Southeast Asia. After another day at leisure, you’ll connect back to the airport for your onward travels.

Bali at Leisure
Nusa Dua is situated on the calm leeward eastern side of the island and is generally an uncrowded beach area offering pristine beaches and blue waters. It is a little more upscale than most of the other beach areas in Bali and has a golf course and an upscale shopping complex. The offshore reefs are excellent for scuba diving and snorkeling.
Nearby is the Museum Pasifika with its collection of rare art from both Asia and the Pacific. There is also the interesting Geger Temple which is located on top of a rocky promontory.

Half Day Cliff Temple, Fire Dance and Beach Dinner
Enjoy a pleasant short ride along the hills of Bali's southern peninsula. This area, known as Bukit, offers a landscape and topography unequaled by any other regions of the island. Unlike the majority lush tropical country sides which owed their fertile soils to the volcanoes that dotted the central highlands, this arid terrain-formed by millennia of coral sedimentations is a world of its own. Their beautiful-yet-wild beaches are heaven for surfers. In the corner of this peninsula, perched on a sheer cliff, is a highly venerated Uluwatu temple. A performance of The Ramayana epic-based Kecak Dance with the majestic temple and sunset as its background, will give a climax to this memorable evening. The tour ends up at Jimbaran Beach to enjoy Seafood dinner, served on the beach.

Full Day Eastern Coast Bali Discovery
This full day tour is emphasizing on the history of Bali which is linked to the ancient Javanese Hindus Kingdom. The tour begins with a visit to Kehen temple with its enormous Banyan tree's entrance. The temple is dedicated to Shiva; dominating the inner sanctuary is a triple throne shrine of Hindu trinity: Brahma, Wisnu and Shiva. Continue the tour to visit Besakih Temple, known as Mother temple, the largest temple in Bali and the most important place of worship on the island. You can make a lunch stop (personal account) and enjoy the mountain cool breeze with fabulous rice terrace and Agung Mountain view. Ride downhill through the villages of Selat and Sidemen where we can see spectacular scenery of rice terraces. Stop en-route to see hand weaving home industry before visiting Bali Aga, an original Balinese village whose inhabitants are believed to have come long before the Hindu-Javanese immigration wave. It is the only village that until today is still weaving traditional "Geringsing" cloths. On your way back stop at the shore to see traditional salt processing (subject to weather or seasons).

Ubud at Leisure
Ubud is centrally located on the island of Bali and is one of Bali’s major arts and cultural centres.
Comprised of 14 villages, each run by its own Banjar (village committee), and all within 5 km of the city centre, Ubud is a fairly straightforward, small town situated amongst scenic rice paddies and steep ravines in central foothills of the Gianyar regency.
In the 8th century, Javanese priest, Rsi Markendya, meditated at the confluence of two rivers at the Ubud locality of Campuan. Here he founded the Gunung Lebah Temple on the valley floor, the site of which remains a pilgrim destination. A centre for natural medicine and healing, Ubud got its name from the Balinese word, ‘ubad’- meaning medicine.
