Emerald rice paddies, rainforest-clad hills, painted temples, and the warmth of the Balinese people: Bali pairs its famous tropical beaches with a host of cultural and scenic wonders. Our 8-day tour combines many of these natural and historical treasures with time in some of its most alluring beaches—the perfect combination for a discovery-filled yet deeply relaxing holiday. Experience the mystical temples, lush forests, and markets of traditional Ubud on a 2-night stay in Bali’s picturesque uplands, and then venture south to Kuta, home to some of the island’s most seductive beaches. Here, savour four days to kick back on the sands, wallow in turquoise seas, and enjoy a choice of optional tours to experience an iconic sea temple, an island paradise, and a sunset dinner cruise.

Follow the pathways to see the temples and playful monkeys, and then continue to the nearby Puri Saren Palace, a 19th-century royal residence composed of decorative pavilions and flower-perfumed quadrangles. Take a guided stroll here to see learn about the palace’s history from your guide, and then head for one of Ubud’s traditional arts markets. Scour the stalls for local handicrafts before enjoying the rest of the afternoon free to relax at your hotel or explore the local area in your own way.
