Bali Adventure
The perfect break in the sun for those who are looking for a relaxing yet stimulating adventure, with great food, amazing massages, quirky accommodation, and interesting culture! Bali is just magic!
Bali adventure including Seminyak, Ubud, and Amed.
Leave your backpackers image of Kuta behind you! and forget the resort package holidays you find in the travel agent. Bali has it all, culture, beaches, great food, sun, atmospheric hotels and all with a Balinese smile. It is the perfect mix of luxury, relaxation, and stimulation for a 12 day break in the warmth, and this is why we run this trip often, with some people returning multiple times. This trip is great for solo travellers as the single room option is very reasonable. Bali is also a good introduction to "Outside the Square" and how it feels and works before embarking on more challenging trips. This trip is full of treats and surprises and the feedback is usually "WOW!" never thought Bali was like this. This is a great time of year to visit Bali, kids are back in school after Easter. The weather is fine as the dry season has started all very pleasant. We have found some charming local hotels central to the attractions of beach, restaurants, and things to do. There is freedom to explore on your own, or indulge at the beach, shopping, or walking. Surfing, snorkeling, diving, cooking school, Spa treatments or other activities, are easy to arrange for those interested. Arrival day You can arrive anytime on this day, with easy, clear, instructions of how to get from the airport to the hotel. I will be waiting to greet you. Seminyak South (3 nights) We start our trip in Seminyak, a much nicer area to be than Kuta and just a few min walking distance from our hotel to the beach, restaurants, and evening Gay friendly bars. There is time for beach, shopping, and included in our trip is an amazing massage at a Men's only Spa in Seminyak. Amed (3 nights) We head to the north-east coast, stopping along the way at the Bat temple, Royal water gardens, a pristine "surprise" beach for our lunch, before reaching the fishing village of Amed. Our hotel here is rustic and charming and right on the beach and the snorkeling is right there to enjoy. The small fishing village is close by, as are some lovely restaurants and a view point where we can watch the sun setting over the volcano in the background. Northern Bali is much less explored, by most tourists, but its a gem and you won't want to leave. Our secret retreat in the countryside (2 nights) Private, remote and secluded, with just 12 villa rooms around a central pool and surrounded by rice paddies. Our chance to connect with country life, and explore the cultural highlands. Walk through the rice fields, explore waterfalls and chill by the pool. Ubud (3 nights) You will probably be craving a bit of city vibe by now, and we will spend our last 3 nights in the heart of the Bali cultural capital of Ubud, our charming, centrally located local hotel means you can walk out exploring on your own when the desire takes you. Each day in I offer a walks (I know some lovely ones) others can explore the art markets, museums there is the option of a morning cooking class, included is a walk through the rice paddies with lunch and a blissful massage. Day 12 This is a point where you can end your holiday and head back to the airport knowing you have seen the very best of Bali. Or If you have the time, extending for a few days, Bali has many beautiful beach resorts at a range of price points and while here why not add a few days to chill by the pool. The options are extensive from booking yourself into a luxury resort for a few days of pampering, to renting a villa. Its your holiday! you know what you like. Indonesia and Bali can be a ''full on'' experience for the uninitiated and it's easy to be overwhelmed when you first arrive, I will help you to find the best places right at the beginning, insuring you get to enjoy the best the island has to offer. I will also take you off the beaten track to see temples and sights not on the overcrowded tourist trail. We don't stay in the big resort hotels, preferring, smaller more exclusive properties, well located with the X factor. Places which you would be unlikely to find on your own. As with all our trips you have to let go of the concept you're signing up for a tour, you're not, you're coming on an adventure , yes its a semi structured adventure with all the hard work done, but it's nevertheless a adventure. Things will go wrong some days, and changes adapted too, you will need your wits about you, and to expect to do some exploring on your own occasionally. |
