BALI EXPLORER – 11 NIGHTS FROM £1,889
INCLUDES TOUR OF WESTERN BALI BY JEEP
See a different side of Bali on this three-centre adventure that mixes iconic moments with a few hidden gems along the way.
Your journey starts in Ubud, where jungle-cloaked valleys, dramatic waterfalls and those pinch-me mountain views are never far away. Staying at the peaceful Sankara Suites & Villas, just outside the buzz of town, you'll have the perfect base to dip into the culture, then retreat back to total tranquillity.
Next up is Lovina, Bali at its most laid-back. Think black volcanic sands, emerald-green rice paddies and a slower pace of life. With complimentary kayaks, paddleboards, snorkelling gear and bikes included, you're free to explore this quieter corner of the island exactly how you like.
Then it's time for Sanur, where beachside strolls, sunset drinks and lazy pool days are all part of the plan. The long promenade makes wandering into town effortless, whether you're in the mood to explore or simply switch off.
And for a real WOW moment, we've included a full-day vintage VW Jeep adventure through Western Bali. Cruise past rice terraces, traditional villages and rainforest-covered mountains, stopping at some of the island's most spectacular sights. From the iconic sea temple of Tanah Lot and the peaceful Batukaru Temple to the UNESCO-listed landscapes of Jatiluwih and the lakeside beauty of Ulun Danu, it's a day packed with unforgettable views. Throw in a colourful local market, a traditional Balinese family home and a scenic lunch stop in tropical gardens, and you've got a side of Bali many visitors never get to see.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
3nts at The Sankara Suites & Villas, Ubud in a Valley Suite
4nts at The Lovina in a Deluxe Studio
4nts at Puri Santrian, Sanur in a Superior Room
