Luxury travel: dream trip to Bali tailor-made tour

Touch down in Bali and step straight into something unforgettable. You’re welcomed with the scent of fresh flower garlands and the smiles that make this island so special. A private transfer takes you comfortably to your hotel, where everything is already taken care of. Need a tip on where to watch the sunset or find the best local warung? The concierge is there to help you shape your days just the way you want them. From the very first moment, Bali feels like it was made for you.

Tabanan is where Bali slows down and lets you take it all in. Cruise through winding roads in a vintage VW Safari, with rice fields stretching out on either side and the breeze in your hair. Wander through the local market, where spices, fruit and chatter fill the air, and everyday life feels vibrant and real. Tucked beside the rainforest, a quiet temple offers a moment of peace, surrounded by nothing but green and birdsong. Then walk along the breathtaking rice terraces of Jatiluwih, a place where the land tells a story of tradition and care. In Desa Apuan, step into a traditional Balinese home and get a feel for a way of life that hasn’t changed much in generations. Tabanan isn’t just a place—it’s a feeling you’ll want to carry with you.

Welcome to Ubud, the soulful heart of Bali where every moment feels connected to something deeper. Begin your day at Tanah Lot Temple, where waves crash against the rocks and the horizon lights up at sunset. Then make your way to Pura Taman Ayun, where quiet gardens and graceful shrines invite reflection.

In central Ubud, wander through the Monkey Forest, where moss-covered statues peek out from the trees and monkeys roam freely. Stop by the Ubud Royal Palace to admire its traditional architecture, then pause for lunch at Indus, a peaceful spot with open-air views over the Tjampuhan River valley.

Continue to Gunung Kawi, where ancient tombs are carved into the stone cliffs, surrounded by lush green rice paddies. If you’re open to something truly local, sit with a Balinese healer or join a purification ritual at Tirta Empul, a sacred spring with centuries of tradition.

Recharge with a wellness experience at Five Elements, where nature and calm set the tone, and end your day at Locavore, where every dish tells a story of Bali’s flavours in a modern way. In Ubud, every step feels purposeful—quiet, colourful, and full of meaning.

Explore Ubud and its surroundings in a way that stays with you long after you’ve left. Soar above the islands of Nusa Lembongan, Crystal Bay and Nusa Penida on a helicopter ride, where the views of turquoise water and hidden coves stretch as far as the eye can see. Once back on land, settle into a glamping retreat tucked into nature. Spend your time exactly how you need it: unwinding with a gentle massage, finding stillness on the yoga mat, or discovering the elegance of Balinese dance. This is your time to slow down, soak it all in and feel fully present in the magic of Bali.

Welcome to Manggis, a peaceful hideaway on the east coast of Bali where time feels like it slows down. Begin your day at Besakih Temple, often called the Mother Temple, where stone stairways and mountain mist set the tone for something sacred. Then head to Tirta Gangga, a former royal retreat where koi glide through fountains and stepping stones lead you across still waters.

In the village of Tenganan, watch as weavers work patiently on looms, keeping ancient traditions alive one thread at a time. Take the rest of the day at your own pace, whether that means exploring the coast, wandering through rice fields, or doing nothing at all. The next morning, enjoy a quiet breakfast before your private transfer takes you to the airport. Manggis offers the kind of calm you’ll want to carry with you long after you leave.
