Many visitors to Bali stick to the south, but on this holiday you will loop around the beach-fringed island taking in the culture and natural beauty that so many tourists miss.  You'll get to experience what makes this island so magical with a carefully constructed itinerary that avoids long journeys. 

Highlights include:

  • Experiencing authentic Balinese life in the island's remarkably beautiful countryside
  • Finding the islands best snorkelling spots at Menjangan
  • Relaxing and unwinding on the peaceful, beautiful beach at Canggu

As with all of our suggested itineraries, we can tailor-make your holiday to suit your budget, style and expectations. Find out about our exclusive Journey Planner here.

DAY 1  DEPART THE UK

Depart the UK on your overnight flight to Bali.

Days 2 & 3  Sideman  

On arrival, your guide will meet you for your private transfer to the picturesque hills of East Bali. You’ll stay in a lovely retreat where you can relax and get a feel for authentic Balinese life.

You can opt to laze around the resort and take in the views, pool and spa or you might choose a more energetic stay. Activities on offer include a trek to nearby Pura Bukit which is home to traditional Ikat weavers, cycling through the foothills of Mount Agung or exploring the secluded coast nearby. Whatever you choose to do you’ll enjoy a remarkably beautiful landscape of rice paddy terraces, volcanic valleys, lush tropical forest and mountain terrain.

Days 4-6 Ubud

Transfer with your guide to the island’s cultural capital Ubud, in the southern foothills of Bali’s volcanic mountains. During your time in Ubud, you will get an insider's perspective on the artwork, architecture, food and rural scenery that make this region so unique.

DAY 7 & 8   MUNDUK

You’ll be transported north to Munduk where you'll stay amidst a working coffee plantation. Here, take a trek through the coffee and cocoa plantations, passing through the mountain's forested valleys and beautiful waterfalls. For those interested, there is also a chance to canoe across the crater lake Tamblingan.

DAY 9-11  MENJANGAN

Next, you’ll continue your loop of the island heading west by road to Menjangan Resort, stopping en route to visit a pearl farm and take a dip in natural hot springs.

During your stay at the beautiful resort why not take a snorkelling trip to Menjangan Island, which is off the coast near Pemuteran and is a part of West Bali National Park Reserve? This island provides one of the best snorkelling and diving spots in the whole of Bali.                                                                                                   

There will also be plenty of free time here. There are a fantastic variety of excursions on offer locally, including kayaking through the maze of mangroves around the hotel, snorkelling and diving, birdwatching, trekking, cycling and horse riding.

DAY 12 - 15 CANGGU
