8 Days / 7 NightsCulturalFamily

Route: Bali

Highlights

Ubud rice terrace walk
Daily yoga & spa time
Balinese cooking class
Uluwatu temple sunset

The first half of this trip is spent in and around Ubud, where a villa set among rice paddies serves as base for temple visits, a walk through the Tegalalang terraces, and daily time for yoga or spa treatments. A cooking class introduces the ingredients and techniques behind Balinese cuisine, and the pace throughout favours rest over sightseeing.

Midway through the week, the itinerary moves to Bali's southern coast, where beach days and a visit to the clifftop Uluwatu temple offer a contrast to Ubud's greener, quieter setting. A sunset viewing at Uluwatu, with its resident macaques and Kecak fire dance performance, is a natural close to the coastal days.

This is a trip built around unwinding rather than covering ground, and the flexible final days work well for both couples and families travelling with older children.
