Package overview

A compact island escape designed for travellers who want beach time without giving up culture. Three nights in the south keep you close to the airport and the surf beaches.

Two nights in Ubud add rice terraces, art markets and a slower pace, with a private car and driver on tour days so the driving is comfortable.

Temple sunsets at Tanah Lot and Uluwatu are the highlights, with a free afternoon left open for a spa or beach club visit.
