Depart the US on your international flight to Denpasar, the capital of Bali, in the enchanting Indonesian archipelago.
 

On arrival at Denpasar airport, meet your guide and enjoy your first glimpses of Bali on a comfortable transfer to your hotel in Ubud. Nestled in the highlands around an hour from Denpasar, this charming town is Bali’s cultural and artistic heart, and alive with markets, temples, bazaars, bars, and shops. 

Elevate your Ubud stay by upgrading to a suite at the 5 star Aksari Resort or Similar. Nestled deep within the jungle, this remarkable retreat offers serene tranquility and breathtaking vistas of Bali's verdant valleys. Immerse yourself in the essence of traditional Balinese hospitality, complemented by unparalleled views. Unwind in the cascading infinity pool overlooking the lush jungle or venture into the center of Ubud to discover local hotspots.

A day to yourself dawns today, with the opportunity to enjoy the facilities at your hotel or discover Ubud in your own way. Maybe explore Ubud’s art museum before delving into its ancient temples or buying some of its acclaimed artisan crafts at its shops and markets. Alternatively, join our optional tour to the enchanting Tegenungan Waterfall and discover the beauty of Bali from above on a jungle swing over the Ayung River.

Enjoy today free at leisure. Perhaps recharge at the hotel’s pool or gym, or head into Ubud to experience its bazaars, shrines, and restaurants independently. Alternatively, join our optional “Landmarks of Ubud” tour to the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces and Ulun Danu Temple. After winding through rustic farming communities and emerald fields, stop to admire Jatiluwih’s 600 hectares of green rice fields, which are tiered into the Batukara mountains. Take photos and after soaking in the paradise-like scenery, continue to Bedugul’s Ulun Danu Temple—a lake temple framed by misty mountains. Stroll around the complex and marvel at the setting before having lunch at a local restaurant and returning to Ubud.

Set off on a half-day tour of Ubud and its surrounding countryside this morning. Visit the Saraswati Temple, an ornate Hindu shrine on a lotus-coated lake, and explore the Sacred Monkey Forest, home to several Hindu shrines and groups of grey, long-tailed macaque monkeys. Trace the walkways to see the temples and monkeys before visiting nearby Puri Saren, a 19th-century royal palace consisting of carved pavilions and flower-perfumed courtyards. Take a guided walk to uncover the palace’s history before heading to one of Ubud’s traditional markets. Browse for handicrafts and souvenirs and enjoy the rest of the afternoon to relax or explore as you please

Savour breakfast at your hotel before checking out and venturing to the Tegallalang Rice Terraces, one of the island’s most beautiful spots. On arrival, admire the steeped rice fields and learn about the innovative but ancient irrigation system behind them. Then, visit a coffee plantation to learn about “Kopi Luwak” or “Civet Coffee”: a much-lauded variety of the beverage made from coffee cherries digested by the Asian palm civet cat. Afterwards, relax into a comfortable, air-conditioned coach bound for the popular beach area of Kuta on Bali’s south coast and check-in to your hotel. 

Enjoy the height of luxury during your 4-night beach stay by upgrading to a guest room at the luxury room at the 5-star Sofitel Resort or Similar in nearby Nusa Dua. Tonight, join us at an optional seafood beach dinner at the nearby fishing town of Jimbaran—feasting on fresh seafood and lobster to the sound of the waves.

Another day of leisure awaits, with the freedom to while away the hours as you please. For a fabulous day on a beach, join our optional day trip to a beach club on the nearby island of Lembongan. Ride a catamaran to this tropical gem and enjoy several hours at its well-equipped beach club—an exciting center for watersports-loving families, couples, and friends. Go snorkeling, view marine life from a semi-submersible craft, ride kayaks and banana boats, play volleyball, snooze by the pool, or let the kids loose on the children’s activities. After a barbecue lunch, laze away the rest of the afternoon before returning to the mainland and your hotel.

This morning, soak up the rays by the pool or join our optional Melukat Purification Ceremony at Gria Beji Waterfall where you will embark on a serene journey through Bali’s natural landscapes.Later this afternoon, we will visit the picture-perfect Hindu complex of Tanah Lot, whose main temple crowns a rock washed by waves.  Wander around its steps and shrines in the late afternoon/early evening – when the temple is at its most enchanting – snap Instagram-worthy photos and look for the mythical snakes said to guard it before returning to the hotel.

Enjoy more well-deserved R&R today: unwinding at the hotel pool and beach or heading out to purchase last-minute souvenirs. This evening perhaps end your vacation by joining us on an optional sunset dinner cruise. Settle on a comfortable catamaran and sip a welcome cocktail as you sail around Benoa harbor at dusk. Absorb the sunset and sea breezes on deck as you graze on canapes before enjoying a buffet dinner, live cabaret and mellow DJ tunes. Arrive back at your hotel in time for a good night’s rest tonight before tomorrow’s journey.

Check out this morning and transfer to Denpasar airport for your flight to Singapore. On arrival in this exciting island city-state, meet with our representative for a convenient transfer or taxi to your deluxe downtown hotel, your base for the next three nights. Depending on the time of your flight arrival, either retire to your comfortable room or enjoy the rest of the day at leisure. Spend any free time enjoying your hotel’s facilities or head out for your first taste of this vibrant metropolis: perhaps experiencing one of its top-notch restaurants or bustling markets. 

Following breakfast, check out Singapore’s highlights on a half-day tour. Start with a panoramic drive around the Civic District to see historic landmarks such as the Padang, Singapore Cricket Club, Parliament House, and the National Gallery Singapore before continuing to Merlion Park to view the iconic half-fish, half-lion Merlion statue. Admire the fountain—representative of Singapore’s fishing roots and original “lion city” name—and absorb the waterfront views over Marina Bay’s skyscrapers, including the infinity-pool-topped Marina Bay Sands hotel. Lastly, delve into the city’s traditional Kampong Glam and Chinatown neighborhoods to witness daily life in the city, before strolling in Little India, where fruit, spice, and flower shophouses line “five-footway” covered sidewalks. Afterward, return to your hotel and enjoy the afternoon at leisure. 

Today is free for you to do as you wish. Spend the day independently, going wherever your mood takes you. Perhaps revisit a sight touched on yesterday, dive into the city’s shopping and dining offerings, or simply unwind by the hotel pool. Activities could include anything from checking out the triple-towered Marina Bay Sands hotel, strolling through Singapore’s tropical gardens or immersing yourself in the city’s glittering malls or the shops, markets, and restaurants of Chinatown.

Bid farewell to cosmopolitan Singapore today. After checking out of your hotel, enjoy a comfortable transfer to Changi Airport to catch your homeward flight to the US.
